James O'Brien breaks down Israel's 'self-inflicted' generational damage | LBC

In an extended monologue, James O'Brien reflects on the ongoing war in Gaza, where more than 31,045 Palestinians have been killed and 72,654 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.

James reflects on Benjamin Netanyahu's and his government's role in damaging all of the 'PR' Israel has built for itself since their independence, and whether the damage done could be 'generational'.

The one thing i can thank Netanyahu for is for making me find out what the Zionst ideology is and what it has inflicted globally since its inception in 1897.

Poor james having to do mental gymnastics toavoid being antisemitic for simply stating
- the deaths of 30k people is wrong
- the destruction of 80% of the civilian property in the area is wrong
- the systematic starvation of 2 million people is wrong

[unalomer]

Netenyahu didnt damage Israel reputation he just showed true face of it.

[SS]

A recent poll of Israelis showed that 92% of them either feel that the IDF is acting perfectly correctly, or is not using enough force against Gaza. It is not only Netanyahu who is genocidal.

[modestproposal]

The question "How many is too many?" is a deeply immoral question. Revenge by a state against civilians is never justified.

[buster]

He was a war criminal 20 years ago Netanyahu should be in a jail cell.

[theCommentDevil]

Its not just Netanyahu, it's Isreal as a whole. I will never support any policy that favors them ever again

[johnbhoy]

Anyone serving the IDF from UK should be deemed a terrorist after the wsr crimes they are committing

[moklashh]

Never ever will forget the genecide. We will never look at Israel the same way

[michaelcoward]

Israel is treating the Geneva convention like a checklist.

[JeremyWhite]

Hard to criticise Israel without being called antisemitic, just ask Corbyn.

[johnnypatterson]

Sorry James but an occupier never has the right to self defence.

[phumzilensele]

Mandela was called a terrorist by almost the whole world tuntil apartheid was stopped in 1994

[taxpayer]

O’Brien blames Netanyahu but it is Israel that will never be forgiven. The TikTok films of widely shared IDF war crimes were not committed by him. More readily a search for the ‘Wedding of Hate’ does not show Bibi present nor the choir widely appearing on Israeli national media.
When there are no consequences for your actions the result is the state of Israel.

[DjDmt]

It's depressing to think that a toddler is being starved for no other reason than that they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Our world leaders need to do better

[czgibson]

Israel has strengthened the Palestinian cause beyond the wildest dreams of any Hamas commander.

[fatahhaji]

Why are you blaming this on Netanyahu alone? Biden, Sunak and many more are as complicit.

[RifleJockey]

Can you imagine, Jimmy Saville rayping a child, and when that child scratches Jimmy, he punches the child black and blue. Then claims that he had the right to self defence.

O how twisted

[andrewbravery]

People who survived a holacaust somehow willing to start a holacaust.

[tommyi]

The lack of humanity, understanding and bias is so toxic and has already hit the UK. This is sad, horrible and dangerous.
