State of Palestine recognised by Ireland, Norway and Spain - James O'Brien reacts | LBC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 тра 2024
- Benjamin Netanyahu has recalled Israel's ambassadors to Spain, Ireland, and Norway to issue a "severe reprimand" to the European nations following their decision to recognise Palestinian statehood.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz condemned the gesture of support for the Palestinians as "folly". This move increases the number of the EU's 27 member states that recognise Palestinian statehood, although it does not include major powers within the bloc.
James O'Brien reacts to this latest development in the Israel-Palestine conflict and explores what the ramifications of this may be.

What injustice?
The one where all terrorist attacks have been carried out by Hamas and Palestine such that even their Islamic neighbours put up walls to stop them entering their countries?
What injustice are you referring to, surely not the UN recognition of the state of Israel?
My only concern is for those hostages nothing else.
Those that started that war with Israel i have no sympathy at all.
Shouldn’t journalists really be discussing why most of us don’t realize 140 countries have already recognized Palestine, more than two-thirds of the United Nations’ membership?
We're getting to a point, if we haven't already, where more countries recognize the state of Palestine, than the state of Israel
Didn’t James say only 8 EU member nations ? The United Nations only consider the opinion of Europe, UK and the USA. And those 8 member nations are probably the discount Europeans.

There's also a lot of solidarity with indigenous and African-Americans for Palestine, for the same reasons (and Native Americans for the Irish, for that matter).
It's a sad day for Ireland
Paleztinians are the real okkupier of Izzrael land. Even their Quran say the land belong to the children of Izzrael (Quran5:20,21)
Yasser Arafart was born in Cairo on Aug 1929. He later migrated to Paleztine land. He was an Egyptian!
He just made claim he was the indigenous people of the land. NOPE! he was not!

You guys don't get that it's not just the more recent issues of Northern Ireland. It's about Ireland becoming a republic before that too. The Troubles in Northern Ireland can be compared to Israel and Palestine, and separately the suffering of Ireland as a whole, the forced starvation, etc at the hands of the British can be compared to it also. Ireland had always supported the Palestinians in this conflict.
only to an extent, we didn't have to deal with Islamic fascists
@patman142 There are a parrellels though as the OP was pointing out I guess.
A parallel discrimination and power imbalance in Northern Ireland, as Catholic communities complained of discrimination by the Protestant-controlled government and police forces.
Also, a parallel in political manipulation. In Northern Ireland, there was systematic discrimination in housing and jobs and voting districts had been gerrymandered.
And, of course, parallels in terms of violence and unrest. Northern Ireland was scarred by a period of deadly sectarian violence (the "Troubles"), while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been marked by violence, including terrorist attacks by Palestinian groups and grossly disproportionate military operations by Israel.
The things I mention are only regarding the more recent Northern Ireland conflict. We could take the British-Irish conflict before its independence and draw parallels, too.

1948 Israel self declares its Statehood. 76 years later, there's mental gymnastics for some nations still not to recognise Palestine
The USA who were the first country to recognise the self-declared state of Israel, are now against recognising a Palestinian state "unilateraly" .
Interesting how Israel itself also did not accept the partition plan that was supposedly only rejected by the Palestinians
Actually, Ireland was one of the first nations to recognise the state of Israel on the understanding that the recognition of the Palestinian state would soon follow. This has been coming for the last 76 years.☘
Well Israel exists
Palestine doesn’t
They should stop making 2 state and let they vote who control that land Israel or Palestine. This conflict must end .
The world owed IRLAND a big thanks ❤

Well done to Ireland, Norway and Spain in recognizing Palestine.
The Irish stance is particularly significant. Ireland shares with the Jewish people a history of exile and discrimination. The Irish Free State became a Republic in the same year that Israel was founded. The 6th President of Israel was born in Belfast and grew up in Dublin. The Israelis who fought the British in 1947 drew part of their inspiration from the Irish Freedom struggle of 1921-22. The founder of Zionism, Theodor Herzl, drew inspiration from Irish Patriot Charles Stewart Parnell. Ireland takes its stand that the sovereign freedom of the Israeli people cannot be at the cost of the subjugation and enslavement of the Palestinian people. Hamas is not the problem, no more than the IRA was the problem during the Troubles: it is a symptom of the problem, just as the IRA was a symptom of the problem in Northern Ireland.
Proud to be Irish today.

Celts unite. 🤟✊

Yep very proud .. Free Palestine!
We have done the men and women who fought for the republic proud today. They stood against imperialism everywhere and in any form
Hamas is definitely not the Palestinian people any more than the IRA was the Irish people.
Hamas as a political party is also not what Israel and the United States claim it is.
You underestimate the impact that the aforementioned organisation had on Irish freedom. Which particular iteration of that organisation are you referring to? There have been many.
Israel didn’t have a problem funding them!
But they have the support of the vast majority of the population.

From a Brit: The UK history is filled periods when the UK oppressed the Irish and caused historical untold misery to its close neighbour which led to understandable long standing resentment and regular militant action with death and misery on both sides. It was only through political dialogue and reconciliation that peace was wrought.
However please note - at no point throughout the troubles would the UK have considered carpet bombing those districts of our close neighbour that were the source of militant action.
I think I can honestly say that the UK is now very fond of and has deep respect for the religious and cultural values of our close neighbour.
Love this positive comment!! From an Irish gal living in London
Pathetic.
@@jamesmaxwell3933 I'm pleased it made you think.
Thank you for your thoughtful remarks. I can only say I wish more Brits were "very fond of and have deep respect for the religious and cultural values of our close neighbour.", that was not my experience when I lived in London many years back and worked in the NHS. I recall meeting many Brits who did not know that Ireland was a separate country, who loved to tell "jokes" based on their belief that Irish people lack intelligence, and remarked with surprise at my fluent level of spoken English... !!! Perhaps this level of ignorance has fallen, I really hope so. However the current British leaders don't seem very bright or informed or empathetic.
@@helenokeeffe1823 Irish literature, Irish music and the fact the Irish are connoisseurs of social justice and Irish politicians can wield the english language to far greater effect than english politicians, on the whole, gives the lie to the ignorant. I totally agree with your assessment of our political leaders and my comments were aimed at making people think of the parallels with the plight of the Palestinians. My sincere respects to Leo Varadka and Simon Harris who both spoke so eloquently on this issue.

Zahir Muhsein was a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria As-Sa'iqa Ba'athist faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization between 1971 and 1979.
In an interview with Trouw Magazine, 31. March 1977 he stated....."The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a new tool to continue the fight against Israel and for Arab unity..........

Never paid much attention to Ireland,....a small country that is often overshadowed by its bigger and louder European sisters....Boy, I was wrong to think that “size matters”. Yes, it might be a small country but its people, and their courage to stand on the side of humanity, makes it very BIG, earning itself a place amongst the GIANT world leaders of human rights, teaching other countries (some of which are much, much, larger) how to behave in a civilized world.
You must remember. Ireland has the greatest diaspora Power in the World. How many countries celebrate St. Patrick's Day? We call it " Soft Power". Thanks to British rule, millions of us immigrated around the world.
Hopefully our announcement will force the Irish American president to reconsider his stance.
I was a British jingoist till I started reading the history of England's occupation of Ireland.
Similarly, any civilised, open and even-minded person reading the history of Palestine wld similarly turn against zionism.
Being a Brit too, its a wonder we all don't commit suicide at birth, our "Nationalism", as such, is hijacked and molded into a kind of "GB ueber alles" voice, which has many negative connotations, as we see now "problematic helping Palestine", because the "controllers" of UK aggression are Tel Aviv. Even Northern Ireland TBH Cost:Benefit is a waste of space, and should have been given back to Ireland long ago, like in 1066.

I felt very emotional at this speech. Not sure why, but the words he spoke seemed very profound.
The reason the unionist finally to negotiate (and accept power sharing) back in the 90s was because there was no choice to to American pressure. Can anyone see the US doing this to Israel.
Yes, Netanyahu's Likud party has become a difficult partner: they are prosecuting this war in a manner that is politically damaging for the United States; both internationally and domestically - the latter being more important as this is an election year. Both Pelosi and Blinken have made public remarks of frustration concerning Israel's lack of responsiveness to American lobbying. The Times of Israel has reported that the Israel-Hamas war is a bipartisan issue; they report that the US public's sympathies lie with Palestine for all parties and all age groups under 55.
Neither side is loosing an election over Israel; the US will make public calls for Netanyahu's resignation which will signal the end of unequivocal US support for Israel. This will inform how future Israeli governments deal with the Palestinian concern lest they loose the hand that feeds them.
Figure ten to fifteen years. My age and younger, young people in 2001, do not have the same memories that the 50-75 set do, with Israel as the bulwark against terror.
My age? We see random attacks from islamic states... and constant provocations from the Territory of Israel. We saw our friends fight a 20 year war than most of us did not support the first day of.
When those older folks age out of the government... well, Israel has set itself up for a bad day. Because there will come a day when being called Anti-S will not be enough. And Israel needs to be thinking accordingly now.
Great move Ireland. Next move a united Ireland.
For what reason would anybody be against a two state solution,why be against peace,I am Irish and our country is different since the northern Irish agreement,given the people of Palestine the same rights as most people now take for granted,why should anybody be against that,it starts with dialogue not finger pointing,to answer the question we absolutely provide inspiration,.
It’s the Israeli lobby in America that’s really against it they want to maintain the status quo and drive the Palestinians into the Sinai peninsula that’s The ultimate aim of Netanyahu and the other right wingers in his cabinet.
So why have the Palestinians rejected this offer several times? Why don't you ask them?

@MrGazi15 Free the hostages
Free Israel from terrorism
James... Ireland knows what it's like to be occupied by a belligerent foreign power
hes bang on
I have a problem with western power including media and even people like James being theoretical about the severity of the situation. It’s a constant conversation about IF Israel crosses any particular line, often while they have already crossed it. For example Biden speaks of IF Israel invades Rafa with a stern tone while Israel is already there and a million Palestinians have fled the area. James speaks of a potential new Nakba as if it hasn’t already been going on for 6 months.
This mode of operations prevents us from discussing the urgent reality of the situation and the core of the problem. False pretenses like “the right to exist” or “defend itself” has for 75 years now been the topic that every discussion begins with, and nobody dares challenge. Can an ethnostate be a democracy? NO. Absolutely out of the question. Does it require violently maintaining an apartheid state? Yes. If Israel wants to exist, it can’t be a carve out because that’s stolen land. It can be a new version of what used to be Palestine but it can’t only have the Star of David in its flag. It would have to include a crescent moon and some extra colors reminding one of a watermelon. I get a bit funny about it because this all seems so glaringly obvious to me as the only possible way forward based on other apartheid regimes in history and the rapid decline of any moral authority in the west as we continue to maintain our last western colony in the Middle East. I have a feeling the plan for western world has always been to postpone the inevitable for as long as the world still runs on oil. And once energy independence is complete, to drop Israel like a bad habit. Besides the Muslim and Arab people being widely propagandized as second class citizens worldwide and especially in this very region, even for the Jews themselves this has been an absolute death trap from the beginning. It’s like a father beating his child to teach him how to survive in the world and the child growing up to be a violent outcast in a society that passed him by. It’s a cycle of abuse we must end as soon as possible.

cute. Ireland is not the Middle east tho...sooo, cute but irrelevant. You understand that other regions of the world exist right? with a different culture and tradition and history than the UKs? ...?? just curious, if you are aware of that fact.
This american says THANK YOU to Ireland, Norway and Spain!! 💓
I love the Irish people ❤ THANK YOU for being on the right side of history
The original idea for the creation of the state of Israel (as a colony) was not some philanthropic wish to give a group of people a homeland, in the words of the creators 'Britain wanted a Jewish Ulster in Palestine'
Thank you Ireland
Palestinian people will be free 💯
Yes because all the lies are falling out everywhere about everything our politicians are up to
@FreePalestine098 free of what.
Free the hostages
@@magentamagenta1274 free from Israeli occupation and oppression, the representative for the hostage families has said Netanyahu is the number 1 obstacle in getting the hostages back so go ask him.
Countries where decent human beings live

IRELAND 🇮🇪 has a special place in our hearts A Champion of ( Free Speech )
Ireland was historically pro-Israel, quite a few of the founding generation of the State of Israel like Chaim Herzog were Irish-born. But we can't stand by and say nothing about Israel's current genocidal imperialism either, having spent hundreds of years on the receiving end ourselves
it is time that more countries recognize the state of Palestine and push for the 2 state solution
The state of Palestine? 🤣😂 Sounds like a fancy place in Mars
i found it interesting that Israeli politician threaten Ireland
The move is equivalent to Israel not recognising the state called Irland or their capital. So yeah, this is a gift to the Jihadists of Hamas. won't solve a thing.
@@Yuv1I’m Irish and agree that it won’t make a single iota of a difference. They should have waited until hamas was gone.
There is no comparable situation on this planet, where a State claims territory (to settle their own people) but gerrymanders the original inhabitants out of citizenship.
That's exactly what happened in Ireland for over 800 years tho. 😳
Its happened for centuries across the world unfortunately - we were supposed to have become more civilised but obviously not all of us are.
Ireland was also under military occupation by the U.K.
LBC, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
Give these poor people a state and let s go on with our short lives
Irish and proud of it. 🍀
Go live in Gaza and be proud
❤❤❤long live Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤❤❤
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️❤️ forever
Simon Harris showing real leadership.
The only country in the Western Hemisphere which is qualified to talk sense about a fair solution is Ireland 🇮🇪 as they understand occupation and suffering more than any other country in the West.
We in ireland know how it feels to be brutally repressed by another country
Victim
@RosemaryBeeds What exactly are you trying to say ?
If you are calling the Irish victims of a brutal colonial power then you are correct.
Victim isn't a slur 😳🙄@@RosemaryBeeds when a adult abuses a child do you respond with "victim" you're sick and twisted
@@RevolutionaryVision-pc3gw Lervish
Get ready, cause its coming again you dopes
Congratulations to these three countries. The injustice faced by Palestinian people has been long overlooked. The Israelis are absolutely incandescent. The US will probably join them in condemnation.
israeli tears😅😅😅
Thank you Irland Norwey and Spain be on the right side of history....
Huge Respect to Ireland, Norway & Spain for being on the right side of history!
Really the right side
Bravo to spain ireland and normay
Yes James, that may be true of Ireland however the common thread throughout the Worlds troubled regions is blatantly obvious, English colonialism and imperialism!
Scotland was colonised by Ireland, that's where the name comes from, the Scotti people. Then most colonists in NI came from Scotland. This is not simply a 'DAE ENGLAND BAD?' situation
@@witwicky5565 in the case of Israel/Palestine/Middle East tho it most certainly is
@@witwicky5565 I think you are correct there, although not so much a colonization, just a wandering across the water. yes, history tells us that the Romans called the Irish "scoti" and the native "scottish" PICTI so, if we right the history of wrongs, then the nation commonly known as Scotland should be renamed Pictland 😄
😅😅😅😅 not the Spanish? French? Germans? Learn your history mate they ALL do it
This has been long overdue. So proud to be Irish
