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.

Couldn’t have said it better sir.

[@cupguin]

I would like to challenge her source of fear. Yes October 7th was horrible but has a series a war crimes made her feel more safe? I sincerely think by this point it's the unconscionable actions which would always create a backlash creating more fear. If Israel wasn't cheerfully and unrepentantly bombing a refugee camp in a densely populated civilian area full of children there would be fewer protests with fewer people. Ergo she'd be less scared since apparently it's the people advocating for peace she's saying are making her afraid.

[@ruth6110]

No wellmeaning person would feel anything but horror at the death of innocent people, but you seem to forget that if Hamas didn't have bases underground in such areas, Israel wouldn't be bombing these locations. So if you truly want to help Palestinians, wouldn't you also want to get rid of Hamas. Does anyone really care about the Palestinians? You can't just ignore the actions of Hamas, but then demonize Israel. Doing that may make you feel better, but it won't do anything to help the Palestinians. How is it that Hamas have received all of this funding from the UN, and yet the Palestinians are in absolute poverty whilst Hamas leadership are somewhere in Qatar. Hamas seem quite happy for as many Palestinians to die as is necessary for them to achieve their objectives. But no, it's all Israel's fault. Is it not fair to say there is something seriously wrong with this rationale.

Show me a picture of the Israeli flags at these marches in sympathy for the mass terrorism then? Because if you cant then its not about caring about peoples lives, its about caring about only one sides lives. The side which not only isnt even a democracy but which at least in part supports being controlled by terrorists.

[@karlmylnere5712]

Blackwavenoise, hopefully what you say is correct, this whole scenario has been boiling for generations, if you need an example , Hamas are dedicated to the destruction of Israel and indeed all Jews, hate is something that is ingrained in them as youngsters, the fact is that if Israel disarmed they would be totally wiped out . People forget , in their rush to condemn , that Hamas attacked and killed over one thousand people, men , woman and children with absolutely no pity or remorse, Israel , naturally reacted , the dreadful consequences of their response is there for all to see , with more innocent people , this time Palestinians, killed or injured , to hold Israel completely to blame is to ignore the appalling attack by Hamas , who , by the way continue to hide in Gaza , knowing that it is the ordinary people who will take the brunt of any retaliation from Israel , neither action can possibly be condoned but if Israel did not defend itself then it would give a green light to Hamas and other terrorist groups to reek havoc upon the state of Israel.

My heart breaks for ALL those killed. Palestinians have been living in horrendous conditions for 75 years and been stripped from their basic human rights and some what forgotten by the world. I have personally witnessed this and it’s heartbreaking. They are people just like me and you, and deserve a free life just like us.. but they are kept in an open concentration camp and daily dehumanised.
