James O'Brien refutes caller's claims that 'Palestine protests are hateful' | LBC

James O'Brien challenges this caller over 'unsupported' claims that pro-Palestinian marches end in 'violence' and are 'anti-Israel'.

Protests have been held across the UK in the last few weeks since the IDF commenced their bombardment of Gaza, killing thousands of children, following an attack on Israel conducted by Hamas on October 7th. Home Secretary Suella Braverman has termed the protests 'hate marches', adding she is willing to make changes to legislation.

There are so many Jewish people who don’t want violence in their name. To classify them as extremists is bizarre. Imagine being called an extremist because you don’t want people to die.

[dominickskinner]

Did she just call Non-Zionist Jews extremists?

[nabiljarad]

“You can march in protest, but not against Israel”.. What planet does she lives on?

[ayeshak]

"The people calling for the killing to end are the angry ones, and you calling for the killing to continue are the compassionate one. Do you see where you've ended up?" Lol!

[olivebernard]

She wants compassion for her people and none for the Palestinian!

[gearoftones]

These people want any criticism of Israel, no matter what they've done, to be labelled as anti Semitism. It's ridiculous.

[giulianochianelli]

Poor ignorant woman...they were a lot of Jewish people at the march I was there!!! Bearing in mind that I personally debated a woman supporting Israel at the rally...

[khalidshabala]

James was very patient with her for 8 min, he has a big heart. The caller thinks that James is her employee or her student. He ended it perfectly. Thank you James.

[adriftinaboat]

She’s basically saying Israeli lives are more important than Palestinians.

[amjidali]

People are trying to blur the lines between anti Zionism and

[rfarhat]

I applaud you for debating her contradictions and being fair to your audience. Well done!

[rasha]

He literally crushed her argument with basic common sense.

[Elzilcho]

She wanted absolute validation of her support for justifying the eventual deaths of 2 million people, while also being seen as a victim herself, and was completely outraged that she wasn't getting what she wanted. Some people are just too spoiled in their own lives to see any viewpoint other than their own narrow perspectives.

[reyyanaslh]

She wants exclusivity on anger and compassion. What a horrible woman!😷

[asifnaziri]

Imagine the level of brainwashing/conditioning she's had to think the way she does. It's actually scary.

[someoneno]

Whats her point? She's angry about others getting angry 😂😂😂

[Jake-jrzh]

Can I be disgusted about what’s happening to innocent people in Palestine without being called antisemitic ?

[phyza]

Just because people want Palestinians to live doesn't mean they want israelis to die. Thankyou for your compassion towards humanity James 🙏

[EmAyEl]

This guy is fantastic! Thank you James! Thank you for being open and aware to these double standards! Self defence against millions of innocent civilians does not equal compassion!

[mahmoods]

“So the people calling for the killing to end are the angry ones who are causing fear, and you, who are calling for it to continue are the compassionate one.”

Do you see where you’ve ended up, Anna? No, you probably don’t, do you?”
