Why do people think Netanyahu is capitulating to the darker side of his party? He IS the darker side of his party. What he is doing now is completely in line with everything he has always been saying. He rose to prominence through his opposition to the peace process. All he ever wanted is to drive the Palestinians out and told his family the ‘next war’ they could finish the job. He alway had contempt for American politics all the while knowing exactly how to play them and get what he wants.
Exactly, he is NOT a western man , he despises western democracy and liberalism. Aipac an israeli funded lobby group pays off American members of congress and senate to dance to Netanyahus tunes.
You are trying so hard to sustain your moral credibility James, but LBC crossed a red line regarding independent journalism when it got rid of Sangita, and now you've fallen into the same mire as Starmer, Sunak, Biden, Schultz,Macron etc. when you don't adhere to your own red lines, why should anyone listen to you?
I listened to the entire show, and at times, Mr. O’Brien can drive me mad. He poses a question, but if he dislikes a caller’s answer or deems it too risky, he completely disregards it and shuts them down. Recently, a lady called in, offering insightful and valid points with a deep understanding of the subject matter. However, James tore into her. Yet, she turned the tables by revealing her background in foreign service or as an NGO worker, showcasing her expertise. James O’Brien was humbled. In my view, he can be overly arrogant and should consider humbling himself. BRING BACK SANGITA!!!!
@@nicoh848 Actually, I don’t think it was the show advertised. But it was definitely Tuesday 7th May show. You can listen to his uninterrupted podcast on the LBC player. It might even be on UA-cam.
James's days on LBC are numbered. I hope he will do the honourable thing and resign, rather than be kicked out. At the moment, he is propping up a radio station of right-wing bigots, as LBC needs James to maintain a facade of journalistic credibility. I also have no doubt that LBC's ratings will completely collapse without James. James staying on at LBC doesn't make sense at all.
You're assuming that James really believes and would stand by everything he says. Remember, he is in the "infotainment" industry and ratings are important to him.
Correct. A Jewish man owns LBC and he fired Sangita for the obvious reason…. James is conflicted, so have not listened to his show since Sangita’s removal. Gotta vote with your feet these days…..
@@DeniseWilliams-jr5xohaving tried in vain to get any sense from 'chatham43', I can assure you he stands for nothing, he is here on every left-leaning channel to annoy.
Why the obsession with painting Netanyahu as tragic victim of political circumstances? He put himself there, and now he's responsible for horrific slaughter with more to come. He can easily at any time resign and face the consequences of all *his own* actions. Instead, he clings to a power he evidently hasn't the moral capacity of handling by slaughtering innocent people he doesn't even consider human. In what story is he not the villain here, James? MacBeth? The Godfather? 🎭
DO I CONDEMN HAMAS ? Only in the same way I would condemn the French Resistance for the way they opposed their brutal occupiers! History has judged the French people as Heroes.
Sangita was fired because she challenged the Israeli narrative...was getting to close to the truth. The Free Press in this case censored itself, contradicting this woolly term.
he is definitely in line after sangita, but for james hes not scared but he do have fear for his job before he hits his retire age. although he definitely has backups incase he gets fired and also theres a lot for LBC to lose than gain if they fire James because he can really bring down LBC within days.
Thank you James for your insight, BUT…. you weren’t being completely candid when you said that Sangita was terminated due to ratings. Her ratings were UP 12.5% according to RAJAR
Exactly the same excuse MSNBC gave for ditching Mehdi Hasan. Funny how it's always the real journalists doing the tough interviews, who's ratings are suddenly in the toilet. Utter nonsense.
What a world. The leaders are creating, I can't get my head around how crule Israel IDF are in full view committing acts of inhumane acts, ISRAEL needs to be told why oh why does nobody do anything. And James,
It's not a stretch to say that Netanyahu wants what's under Palestinian feet - i.e the land itself. The Likud Party charter calls for the annexation of Palestine "from the sea to the Jordan" - and he's their leader. He said it himself, recently. He personally called for the extermination of every Gazan with the Amelek speech. He called for Rabin's head - and he got it. Do the math? 🤔
Netanyahu agrees with the religous right wing extremists , it has nothing to do with his own personal legal issues . Netanyahu stood before the UN with a map showing an israeli state where gaza and the west bank for palestinians no longer exists and that is fact
I really don't understand this depiction of Netanyahu as some sort of moderate, held hostage by the mean right-wingers. This is what he is, and has always been.
It's a get out for people who darent talk about the reality. Netanyahu has always pushed settlements, aggressive expansion and IDF aggression against Gaza.
Thornberry' attempt at backtracking yesterday was painful to watch. She boiled it down to (para)"cutting of food, water and electricity was fine, because it was only for a short period"... apparently. So it only broke international law in a limited and specific way. They really do sound like Tories, don't they?
We cannot let Israel get away with closing the borders and all aid. It has been days. It is an emergency now! Imagine if it was you or your family. Where is Israel's humanity? 💔👹
They have already made plans for new estates on Gaza beach front And yes there is Gaza that Israel was jeopardising for Gaza to contract to extract 🤷♀️
@Thelucanlord It's only an excuse if you don't believe it.. What you choose to believe is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. You should be aware of that by now.
So the Israelis closed Al Jazeera, we closed Russia Today who I may add interviewed two Nobel prize winners in Physics that as far as I know the BBC have not.
RT is atm. an arm of Russian state media, extremely one sided. The same cannot be said of AJ atm. it is clearly biased, but does allow for dissent and debate. So, not realy the same, and Israel have provided no legal evidence to support their desction to close AJ offices, and the confiscation of tec. They simply dont want them spreading uncontrolled information, a clear violation of freedom of the press..
So I’ve just discovered James, and as a listener from the US he’s far more critical of the IOF and Israel than really any sources here. Not knowing the background of LBC and who owns it I’ve been enjoying and really appreciate his coverage of what’s unfolding in Gaza.
@@berosmith9041 she did indeed sound very informed on the matter. I found James' reasoning for Bibi's decision to spurn Biden quite naive. Bibi knows he can work Biden, plain and simple. This isn't some massive gamble/risk. The USA will support Israel to the hilt.
Job has done me a favr, by failing on his own standards of journalism by failing to see that sangita myska exit came with more holes than some of arguments from plebs he constantly shuts down, rightfully at times. He argued it was about figures but said it, minus the receipts. It took 3 week for lbc to even address the absence. The circus of rumours could have addressed earlier, instead they took 3 weeks to come up with that argument.
A reasonable question would be does anyone actually still believe these israeli hostages are still alive? I mean think about it,Israel has flattened yhe North of Gaza,litteraly nothing left of all infrsstructure along with a lot of people,theres no food,medicines,water,etc,there is disease everywhere so i ask again,does anyone actuslly think these hostsges are still alive?
The gentleman is absolutely right. The US is about to deploy eight thousands Navi on Gaza coast, why? And what is that for? For the oil and gas in that costal region.

Sangita has probably signed an NDA and is on gardening leave! You won’t see her again on LBC! Get over it! Your wasting your time asking for her to come back! The fact she’s on a silent running on social media says it all! Things won’t change!
Netanyahu's actions also help Trump if they weaken Biden. So it's more than he "hopes" Trump is elected. He's trying to help make it happen. The fascists win when fewer people vote.
I could have taken that reaction and what he said, lots of not nice words are said in anger which was expected, but carring them out is a different matter
