In fact, before he left for Israel in 1971, Kahane founded the Jewish Defense League (JDL), one of the most prolific U.S.-based terrorist groups of the 1970s and 1980s.

James, you should have asked Johnny about the 27 children killed in the West Bank by the IDF on June 2023 (4 months prior to 7th October). The world is behaving as if the Middle East was created on the morning of 7th October.

Refugee camp bombed as suspected one Hamas person there? It wasn’t confirmed that any Hamas member was killed.

I think China is right. The root of the tragedy is because the Palestinians independence has been ignored too long and the Palestinians have suffered too much under their neighbour’s cruel treatment. The idea of two states might not be ideal, but it seems that China’s approach is the best possible solution for time being.

Honestly what this conflict has shown is that there are millions of people are WAY more bloodthirsty than the world thought and those people are unwilling to come to terms with the horrifying beliefs they have.

I guess Johnny never heard of the terrorist bombings done by the Jews against the British before we left in 1947.

Imagine if what Israel is doing was done by an Arab country or an Asian country then i am sure the world would be horrified and call them terrorist. I am independent of this war, but watching it from a distance makes me sick to the core as to what Israel is doing to Palestinians 😢

Judging by the way you've punctuated your sentence and the example you chose probably thinking 'support' only applies to sporting events. Then capping it with one of your dogmatic talking points that we are all so tired of hearing as your side repeats them ad nauseam, I'd say; you have proved my point better than I could articulate. So thank you for the assistance. And so please allow me to return the favor. Gone are the days when the world believed uncritically the nonsensical talking points of the right to self-defense, and the victimhood narrative. There is one occupier, namely; Israel one occupied, namely; the Palestinians. One oppressor and one oppressed people. Now, the sooner you understand this the better for those whom you're defending. Lastly, have you ever wondered why, according to your statement, a country exists where "every country that surrounds them has sworn to destroy them"? A thinking person would pause and reflect on this, not double down on their action. @@rolandhawken6628

It’s worrying how the lives of innocent Palestinians are just an afterthought to so many who blindly support Israel’s actions. And the mental gymnastics required to maintain that position of support are nothing short of extraordinary.

That was what broke me over this. When I heard what happened I felt sick to my stomach. The act itself was horrible. What was coming next was horrible -- I knew Israel would take this opportunity to ethnically cleanse its ghetto if not outright liquidate it. I knew there would be a reactionary backlash that rallied around Israel, and that any critics would be branded antisemites. I knew it would be ordinary Palestinians that would inordinately suffer and die. And I knew there was nothing that was going to change this outcome. I don't know which is worse, the knowing or the being right.

As I keep watching these interviews I came to realize that our moral compass is very subjective, and it depends a lot on what information we know, independent interviews like these, with a true and elaborted journalism, from professionals, help in informing people, and hopefully will help in converging the moral compass of everyone towards the same thing.

I gotta say James... This was well done. You allowed the caller to say his piece without letting him slide. You didn't let him rest comfortably in his hypocrisy or the platitudes he used to make himself feel better about supporting Israel's atrocities. Thank you for that.

What baffles me is that some people don't understand that every civilian killed, gives birth to new packs of 'terrorists', their children, their family members, neighbours etc. Why is that math so hard to fathom? Picture your own lives, if someone killed your innocent parents, brother, sister or anyone you cared deeply about, wouldn't you want to inflect the same pain back? The hate spreads, and understandably so. As vengeance breads vengeance, but justice trumps all. There are real problems in that region, but clearly indiscriminate killings is not the way as not only it breads more hatred within the region, but also around the world. Let's stop sleep walking into ending civilizations.

That is one group of people. Another group of people will blame hamas for bringing the war in gaza for no reason. Another will also blame Israel but they will see it is a mouse fighting a lion so it is time to let go. Another will be grateful to Israel because they don't like hamas. There is never one response from different human beings to an event. According to how things go before and after the war it is hard to say which group will be stronger.

This is very true. I live in France but, for the first time in 17 years, I recently had to return to the UK for a funeral. What i found was that it was practically impossible to have a serious discussion about the relationship between the UK and France/EU because almost everyone i spoke to was simply regurgitating the lies and misinformation that they had picked up from social media and the Tory press. Frankly I was glad to get away. But, on a less personal note, what will happen to the future of democracy if it continues to be influenced by these falsehoods.

The IDF have stated they are going to "hug" the soldiers who shot the hostages! That's hardly holding anyone accountable or discouraging others to be less trigger-happy.

Funnily enough a poll by the Jerusalem Post following the attack in October showed that 80% of Israelis DID blame Israel for the Hamas attack or more specifically they blamed Netanyahu.
