  1.  @raulepure9840  you seem to have missed that this whole region, from Turkey to Iraq is known as the "cradle of civilization" for the simple reason that this is where the first cities were built with examples like Damascus having records of continuous occupation for 11,000 years, millennia before Judaism was even a dream. Even Jerusalem dates back to 4,000BCE, also before Judaism.

  2. 2:15 it's worth studying the Balfour Declaration – "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." – noting in particular that the phrase "it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine" was not in early drafts, appeared because of political pressure & was not enforced when the British took over mandatory control of Palestine in 1920. Indeed, the British went a step further & actively disarmed the Palestinians.

  3. Because at the time they were pandering to their extremist right wing & Stewart isn't extremist anything. He would have evicted the extremists in much the same way as Johnson evicted the Centrists.

  4.  @Enhancedlies  I am impressed by your martyrdom. Oh wait, this is Youtube, there's literally several million other channels...

  5. All of those points are favourably addressed by the Green Party which is why so many of us will be voting for them.

  6. Given that both of these people accept Israel as power brokers within British politics this was a surprisingly balanced discussion. Obviously this caveat has led to problems & 'oversights' within the discussion, "reservists" translating as "all adult citizens" being an obvious one (Israel has universal conscription so all citizens do military service & are thus reservists at the end of the duty), thus the partygoers were either army or reservists & therefore a legitimate military target. Remarkably, glossed over is the tradition of at least a century that "settlers" don't pay for the land they settle, they evict the inhabitants under force of arms. From 1920 this balance was enforced by Britain who ensured that the Palestinians remained unarmed.

  7.  @twelvecatsinatrenchcoat  Noam Chomsky is still commentating. His speech is getting a little slow now but his mind is still totally on the case.

  8.  @Rustinho  have you tried the long-form interviews on Novara Media? Political biases are part of the discussion so you can balance your filtering quite easily.

  9.  @Rustinho  Channel4's Ways to change the world series can be informative though not usually political, I also enjoy Aljazeera and Democracy Now! though they're not strictly UK.

  10. Informative, yes but it has to be filtered through the fact that both have been in English governments, the power broker for which is Israel.

  11. They've both spent many years in the English Parliament where Israel is the main power broker, their language is still tempered by the experience, especially as the English Press is also heavily influenced & they both have reputations to protect. One mis-step & their careers will be ruined.

  12. 23:42 you name "one state solution" & "two state solution", why do you neglect the also-postulated "three state solution"?

  13. 15:25 can you clarify about this "settler movement" you're saying started in the 1970s? Particularly why it's different to the settler movement that began in 1920, the one that began in 1897 or even the one that began in the 1870s?

  14.  @HumanProgress  very good bit of trolling, for the first couple of lines I thought you were just uneducated & misguided.

  15. The "abhorrent actions of Hamas" weren't "initial", to Palestinians this started in the 1870s though many didn't take it seriously till 1920. Israel didn't form Hamas till 1987. Even the current phase is a few years old, starting with Sheik Jarrah.

  16. Western Media led by Murdoch who is to be seen hobnobbing around the Knesset as much as anywhere else in the world.

  17. 0:33 HOW? Both your governments tied the price of energy to gas regardless of it's actual source.

  20.  @EricDMMiller  it's very difficult to put Tory voters off voting so a low turnout favours the Torys

  21. there's not much to tell on the housing crisis, it's simple corruption aimed at driving house prices up.

  22. this has very little to do with religion, Zionism is mostly secular though it does have the financial backing of American Christian Evangelists.

  24. 27:20 "Leading podcast" -- what's that? Where's the link?

  25. 22:10 please explain where your 'evidence' is coming from because Forensic Architecture & a number of other technical analysts state categorically that the fragmentation & incendiary rocket in the hospital was fired from an Israeli position. Given that the IDF for many years have bragged that they can "fly a missile through any window or door in Gaza", the place where it landed was deliberately chosen -- a carpark full of people seeking refuge from the bombing -- with the fragmentation aspect designed to kill & harm people & the incendiary aspect designed to set all the cars on fire causing further mayhem. Please don't try to cite the "did we fire that?" tape because that too has been analysed & has been found to have been assembled from fragments, a propaganda technique Israel has been using for decades.

  26. All I hear is this man's pain, his normal rationality is gone. Talk to him about his pain, his rationality will come back when he's ready.

  28. ​ @Mrunknown223-q9x gas isn't "green energy"! In the Great Texas Freeze gas froze, drastically reducing supplies, then a day later pipe valves & electrical switchgear in the Grid froze. Yes there was icing on wind turbine blades but that only reduces efficiency it doesn't stop them & solar was unaffected except by the Grid no longer working so the electricity couldn't get through.

  29. ​ @Mrunknown223-q9x you cannot blame USA's appallingly unreliable energy system on "green energy"! It has always been unreliable, a century before "green energy" it was unreliable & that's not going to change because there's no policy to change it.

  31. 44:08 why don't you understand? The target hasn't changed since the 1850s -- bringing forward Armageddon through meeting the Biblical prophecy about Eretz Yisroel being entirely Jewísh.

  32. RFK Jr's membership of the Disinformation Dozen should be a consideration for voters.

  33. 16:13 can you expand on this "historic destiny", please? It sounds like it might be related to upsetting God's plans by bringing forward the Apocalypse to a Zionist agenda rather than leaving the timing to God. (I don't know whether you want to sidetrack into questioning the existence of God or what influence He might have on the modern world?).
