I have been following Jonathan Conricus now for a while and he is a very impressive plain speaker without unnecessary emotion but assertive all the same. That this BBC reporter could not get through him was another example on his skills and knowledge and truth.

[rblauson]

Conricus is 100% correct as usual. He’s a very smart man.

[marimuller]

Conricus is always speaking the TRUTH and an excellent speaker for Israel!!

[purpleflame]

It is a true act of heroism to be interviewed by BBC and stand on the side of Israel. Jonathan is a hero ❤

[danielkh]

the way she cut interview short at the end because her masters these tv propagandist didn't like the answers Conrcicus delivered clear with facts.

[shoshanabloom]

You are the rudest person I have ever heard. Why don’t you let jonathan speaking stead of interrupting all the time.

[elizabethhynd]

Stop interrupting the speaker you are so biased

[Durga]

There is more food, fuel, blankets and medical supplies in Gaza than before the war.

[noellacorreia]

How convenient that they never can listen to a full answer !!

[hannahmondry]

How can one tell it's the BBC interviewing? By the incessantly rude presenter, interrupting, cutting off, inserting her own "summaries" and blatantly snapping when her biased rubbish is being patiently refuted by facts. I admire Jonathan, but I cannot possibly understand why he subjects himself to such levels of revolting prejudice and hostility. It is utterly heroic of him.

[aloysiuscrake]

The people in Gaza have got more food then the people in Africa😂😂😂😂

[dmistclesgee]

Always enjoy Jonathon’s commentary on the different news forums

[Ruach]

Love Jonathan Conricus !!! Probably in your best interest not to speak with these reporters. They are just out to condemn Israel. Not worth your time.

[alexanderverbitsky]

She is rude, cuts him and does not give a chance to respond. She should be fired.

[andiebrodie]

Incredibly rude and biased BBC as usual - you did great Jonathan as always ❤

[jojogo]

Can she not go 5 minutes without interrupting her guest? Very rude and unprofessional.

[niliross]

Noticed how she cut him off when she didn't like what he has to say !!!

[Vp]

BBC at its best, im very sorry for mister Conricus that he has to tolerate dialogues with them.
Patience to u sir, lots of patience.❤

[זקליןעמיתסקורה]

Jonathan, your voice -the voice of truth - is so important. Stay strong!❤

Let’s help the struggling BBC shall we? Israel has provided 1.2 million TONS of food and supplies since the war started. That’s 3000 calories per day per person. Depending on age this borders on obesity. OK, back to Joe Rogan where I was learning something.
