I am Irish. I was astonished to find that we had never recognised the state of Palestine. Sympathy for the plight of these people is one of the few things that unify us.
🇮🇪 🇳🇴 🇪🇸 🇵🇸 ✊🏽
Ok we'll send them all over to you then.
@@HardcoreHokage-cw4uq I will help fund this

@@geedee1264 duh engrish.
As a Irish descendant on my mothers side I understand the pain of Ireland and have deep empathy with the Palestinians, what i fail to understand is when people say you cant have Hamas as a negotiating partner. Did the English not talk to and negotiate with the IRA? why the hypocrisy.
Netanyahu made sure the two Palestinian authorities remained divided, allowing him to use the excuse that Isreal didn't have a partner for peace. It just happens that Netanyahu made sure of this division by propping up Hamas.
Was it not the IRA who had to negotiate with th British. Who were the invaders , the colonial invaders here?
Correct. They're literally in government now. And what people fail to mention is that it was Netanyahu who invented, armed & funded Hamas. He literally boasted about it & was sending them suitcases of cash through their Qatari proxies. His aim, to decrease support for the peaceful PLO (who recognise Israel) & to be able to point to Hamas when the international community bring up Palestinian Statehood & say, how can we deal with terrorists?
i am so ashamed so many times of being irish. just as with WW2 we stand on the sidelines and interfere. then as with Hilter our government sides with terrorists. time for us to head to England me thinks just like my great- grandad in WW2
The British negotiated with the IRA when the IRA were willing to negotiate. Hamas have shown no such intentions, in fact they have publicly said they will continue to repeat “October 7th” style attacks again and again. Thats why the ‘real ira’ were created because they refused to negotiate.
If Hamas released the hostages and renounced any form of terrorism i’m sure it would clear the way for peace but that doesn’t look likely
Free Palestine! Much love to Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you ireland 🇮🇪 , norway 🇳🇴 & spain 🇪🇸!!!
You can also thank Sweden for doing the same in 2014.
@@charisma-hornum-friesMaybe they thanked Sweden back in 2014 when they did it.
Just heard the news that Israel has withdrawn their ambassadors from Ireland, Spain and Norway.
It reminded me that their UK ambassador said on TV that there was no chance of a two state solution and that the people of Gaza had two choices, leave and cross the border into Egypt or die.
In light of that I had hoped that she would be declared Persona non grata and told to leave.
But Rishi and co just turned a blind eye just as they are to the killing of our aid workers and the prevention of aid getting in.
Can we hope that we acknowledge Palestine so that Israel pull her out too?
Cabinet officials also said the next 3 settlements will be named after the three nations that identified Palestine a state. This is so sickening.
They should have been expelled a long time ago

Underrated comment!
Irelands on the right side of history.
they are on the devil side if u consider reading the bible

@@azaxYyYyY bible hah Israel and Palestine try preaching your bible there 😂
@@azaxYyYyY you sound like a child.
People are against occupation simple. It took a massacre to wake the world up. I will give credit to the open minded leaders of Ireland, Norway, and Spain for their courage in recognising Palestinian 😊😊😊.
where's Palestine?
@@HardcoreHokage-cw4uqthere isn’t a country named Israel 🤮
@@MyPortsmouth But there is though.
Ireland knows what it's like to have an external military superpower unilaterally declare that the land that it's people have lived on for centuries, now belongs to immigrant settlers. It also knows what it's like to be tarred as terrorists for the actions of a minority. And it knows what's it like to have the deck stacked against it militarily and diplomatically. That's why Ireland supports Palestine. What they are going through now, is what we went through for centuries.
You don’t have a clue what’s going on in Ireland and you certainly don’t sound Ireland born and bred. More like a London leftist!
In a nutshell. GRMA
Oh stop 😂
What you forgot to mention is Irish Catholics in the north of our land were persecuted and shot like dogs in the street , also the plantation of Ireland by England , I grew up through the troubles in Belfast and as long as I’ve known we were treated like subhumans by the British government
England being England
Steals and slaughters and doesn't think twice about it
By England and Scotland. Scotland often gets away with responsibility.
You’re right in everything you say but I have to state that the plantations of Ulster were initiated by a Scottish king and primarily carried about by Scots. Hence Ulster ‘Scots’
Agitation agitation agitation is all you’ve got. Britain was invaded and colonized numerous times; Romans, AngloSaxons, Normans.
@@aleph8888 It's not an allegation it's a proven fact. Do Saxony and Italy still occupy parts of Britain? Does the colonisation of Britain by Rome still affect politics and people's day to day lives in 2024?
Not remotely comparable, regardless if it was, two wrongs don't make a right.
Ireland has a long history of sending peacekeeping troops to Lebanon. To the best of my knowledge, 3 irish soldiers have died to date to Israeli weapons fire during that time. You could say that the irish people can not only empathise, but has invested blood in the 2 state peace process.
South Africa 🇿🇦 Ireland 🇮🇪 Spain 🇪🇸 Norway 🇳🇴 ❤❤❤
USA and UK?????????????? Please be honest with yourself for once.
It was a form of Apartheid in northern Ireland until the Catholic population rose up and asked only for equal rights but people like paisley were not having a Catholic about the place
Love the Irish ❤❤❤❤
Love Ireland 🇮🇪, Love Spain 🇪🇸 and Love Norway 🇳🇴 ....proud of you ALL
Scotland would recognise Palestine too if England's parliament allowed us Scots to have vote on our own independence. 🏴
Buddy I agree but you couldn't win independence now anyway. !! It would be a worse disaster than 2014
Would we aye?
@@yvonnesmith2115
Any particular reason why we wouldn't ????
Vote on independence?? Like they did a few years back??
this shows we vote for a supposedly a democratic state but the government acts like a dictatorship manner, people's opinion means nothing to them
Very proud of my country right now. Better late than never 🇮🇪🇵🇸
The world is proud of your country. Ours next?
Respect to Ireland ❤. Love and peace to you from Ontario Canada
Remember Israel was called the little ulster of the Middle East
My favourite Bobby Sands quote: "Our revenge will be the laughter of our children". What wouldn't I do to avoid my children suffering and to see them laughing? Would I let go of my deeply ingrained hatred for my enemy - stop seeking revenge? Irish have very long, imbedded memories of oppression, but yes, I would do that if I knew it would mean my little boy could live in a peaceful land with opportunity.
I've a KFC in remembrance oh Bobby every year😂
Interestingly, Trinidad and Tobago recognised Palestine more than a week ago. Well done T&T
Thanks for sharing. Great to know ✌️
Norway and Spain have recognised the State of Palestine, too.
Others are doing likewise soon.
Israel was also rewarded for terrorism after the horrors of Hagannah, Irgun and Lehi in the 30s. So that logic does not work.
Exactly and the Israelis voted in two of their leaders as prime ministers of Israel.
From the river to the sea
Israelis and Palestinians will live in peace
JOB should’ve explained to Suzy that Hamas changed their charter and agreed to the 1967 borders. Unlike Likud, which has From The River To The Sea in its charter
James repeats the same misinformation about the Hamas charter.
100%
FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE Righs and Peace ✌ on Their Lands.
where is Palestine?
I'm an American, but I'm extremely proud to be of Irish ancestry for many reasons, and this is just another one
You are Irish today with us
I find it troubling the some Israelis and some Jews from around the world thinks that only Israelis deserve freedom and state?
Gaza had freedom inside Gaza if they just stayed there, Israel block their border to them and don't let them leave by sea because if they do they'll get attacked or invaded by terrorists duh
I just surprised Ireland had not recognised before.
So another bonus for Ireland, still members of the EU after the Brexit debacle and now also on the right side of history regarding Palestine. ❤
Yes! Well done Ireland!
🇵🇸 FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
That woman at around 45 minutes had an interesting take. She was trying everything in her power to avoid the fact that hamas are fighting for similar reasons to the ira

The woman defending Israel is completely delusional. The amount of genocidal language has been disproportionately from Israel.
How anyone rejects recognition of a Palestinian state and still advocate for peace is simply hypocritical, illogical and nonsensical! How? 146 countries have already recognised Palestine, how has their recognition hindered a peaceful resolution settlement?
Israel isn't offering Palestinians full and equal citizenship,rejects Palestinians getting their own state, what's Israel's objectives towards Palestinians?
Are you referring to the UN vote Klopp? If so, that vote was for Palestine to join the UN as a full member. Or am I misreading your comment?
Free Palestine ✌️
@kirstymiller9332 if I'm not mistaken, Palestinian statehood is voted on every year and it's usually the US, Israel and a few others to vote it down or veto it.
@@kirstymiller9332 recognition dude not only for the recent voting which too point to an outright global majority support a Palestinian state. US always uses veto against it
@@jaymes8718 what is voted for every year since 2000 is a peaceful resolution to the conflict in accordance with inter law, UN security resolutions 242 only Israel, US and 2 island nations reject it every year. It's surprising whenever Palestinians reject peaceful resolutions/israeli offers etc are cited
@@jaymes8718 thanks Jaymes. How can a country advocate for a two state solution & then veto. It makes no sense to me 😪
I think the focus of conversation ought to be on those shameful nations who have not yet recognized Palestine knowing well a vote Palestinian State means a vote for peace and against *OCCUPATION* , *colonization* and *apartheid* system.
The actual updated Hamas Charter that no one seems to bring up recognizes Israel and the 1967 borders all the Zio's are stuck on the original Hamas Charter
Because the old one is the one they can propagandize more effectively. It really undermines their message to acknowledge that even Hamas accepts 1967 borders.
The Arab version of the charter remains untouched. Only the English version is redacted differently. Not that I care...
@@pontifexinstitute That's not true. It's a completely separate document.
🇮🇪 ❤
Ireland’s recognition is very significant. Ireland understands starvation, it understands being colonized and discriminated against and not being given a right of self-determination… and most of all Ireland is a nation that knows how to make peace…
Ireland we the American people love you and THANK YOU for standing for truth and justice for humanity and the people of Palestinian
The question is .... Why is the UK not supporting Palestine.... When 70% of its citizens want a ceasefire....
Money
heroes of Ireland, like ireland Palestinian have to right to have their own country.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a 2017 revised Hamas charter that supports a two state solution, being the 1967 borders in accordance with international law.
45:28 “While the 1988 Hamas Charter had been widely criticized for its antisemitism, the 2017 document stated that Hamas' fight was not with Jews as such because of their religion but with the Zionist project.”
🇳🇴 🇪🇸 🇵🇸 ✊🏽 hopefully more will follow this historic move! South Africa 🇿🇦 set the scene and the world has finally opened its eyes, theres no more burying heads in the sand, regardless of faith,nobody should have to live the agonising,for less of a better word, suffering like that which the Palestinians have endured not since 7th october but over the past 100 yrs, before the Balfour legalised the occupation of Palestine and the end of a peoples existence!
😢😢😢😢Can someone please explain to me again why no European nation including the US wanted these people in their country before during and after WWII????? What did they know that we are now finding out???? 🤔
🙂
They still don’t want them. Imagine them in the uk.
I did yesterday
"These people"? Who, Jews? Listen, the Palestinian solidarity movement does not want or need this kind of advocacy. Give your head a wobble.
James you need to do your own thing like Tucker Carlson.
An alternative to a two-state-solution is a one state solution with equal rights like it was before the invaders invaded the country
The best decision so far
Love the Irish. ☘️
Brilliant show, James! It gives me hope, realistic or cautious hope, for the possibility of the beginning of a movement for a Palestinian state. I'm of mixed Republic of Ireland and English heritage, and know of the emotions and history of the clash.
The US was the First Nation to recognise Israel as a State, 11 minutes after the State came into existence.
The total of constant Aid sent to Israel from the West is equivalent to $3 billion per Israeli.
@@madwisdom4929source?? That is CRAZY if true! Wow. If only more British and American taxpayers knew about this.
@@MV-se4diit's becoming a big issue for Biden in the US. Potential voters of his are questioning why Israel gets all that money and they have free at the point of use healthcare but Americans don't
@@MV-se4di
So what? Anyone sensible enough would think that we should support more Israel. I am a U.K. taxpayer.
Israel invented the camera pill that saved my life from a health complication. Israel is a world leader in water conservation and recycling , and one of my top priorities is water management.
Israel medical innovation has saved lives, including numerous members of my community.and family.
@@MV-se4di
Let me tell you what contribution Palestinian people have made to my life.
Two of my cousins suffered life changing injuries from the terrorist attacks in Rome airport 1985. They were children.
In Lebanon, numerous people who my extended family knew well, in the early 90s were killed by Palestinian militants . The only guilt was that they were Christians.
My favourite broadcaster even though I live in a staunch tory area with Roger gale as our mp
Because they know something about genocidal occupation. They know something about empathy. They know something about Humanity.
I know, but I gotta say it. This is the real reason they had to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn. Btw It was CNN news reporter Marc Lemoont Hill.
As for now Israel government, parlament and probably a big part of Israel society won’t even think about 2 state solution neither single state with equal rights of both people. So to recognise Palestine as state is not a gift neither favour it’s a just thing to do and give back what rightfully theirs or whatever is left of it
Stop being negative just give Palestinians their land they will decide themselves who will rule them,you were talking the same to Afghanistan now today afghans are ruling themselves without all negative things you people were talking
I think we should all agree that peace is preferable.
Didn't Hamas change their charter to accept the 1967 borders?
Most countries recognise the State of Palestine 🇵🇸
When will Ireland recognize Hy-Brasil? It's about as real a state as Palestine.
It's one thing to be a legal white Australian, New Zealand, South African migrant worker in the UK, but be brown or Eastern European........😢
A migrant worker used to mean someone who showed up at harvest time, not foreign born
Hip hip hooray 🎉
Two states, in which borders? Should they start then to definde those borders?
The U.N 1967 borders. That's recognised the world over by international law & international community.
You are wrong Hamas has changed their charter regarding Israel, I would suggest you look it up. It os also Hamas who states that they want a two state solution.
It was Die Hard. It’s why John McClain isn’t wearing shoes at Nakotomi plaza.
I do not oppose a two-state solution. However, the premise of a two-state solution requires allegiance and unequivocal insistence on the right of existence for an ethno-national state. I'm thinking Corsica, Basque Country, Northern Cyrpus, Indigenous/First Nations Americans in Canada and US. There are numerous spaces where questions revolving around two separate ethno-cultural states versus single states with equal civic rights regardless of population majority. There are options, the question is what base options are rejected immediately. The primary objection to a unified single state giving all residents from river to sea equal rights and voice is the necessity of maintaining an ethno-national state with super majority demographics; that's a 19th-20th century concept. As much as I support 2-states, it is an out of step premise from 21st century statecraft and nation-state ideology.
It's true to an extent in some of the younger countries; look at South Sudan, Kosovo etc... However, ethno-nationalism exists in nearly all states, even in Western Europe, and the U.S. It can't, therefore, be a feasible barrier to a two state solution.
I've lived in Herne Bay since2003 before that I lived in Greenwich for 19yrs. In September I went back there for a couple of nights and couldn't believe the change, especially on the riverside, the parks the riverside walks and it's only 6 miles from the city of London. I would be in my element pushbiking it with the sounds on.
I'm 66 and this year I want to go their again this summer this time by train, taking about hour and a half.
I worked there before the big bang, so jobs were easy to come by.
But really I'm an Essex boy from a place that has been in the news all for the wrong reasons and that is Hainult in North East London
A two state solution would mean moving all the illegal settlers out of the occupied West Bank.
James love your show always great!! What you as hould say on your show the reason the NJS is desperate for staff is the uk government have let 20 million foreign people into the UK over the last 50 years
Germany and France are also having these problems Sir but they do have a government that gets involved and headhunt students for medical schools and subsidizes
I can see LBC sacking the Norwegian, Irish and Spanish government.
Ignorance is apparent in her justifications
Thank you Ireland
There is the psychological aspect that needs to be dealt with in order to have peace. This means hatred has to become tolerance. It means denial has to be accepting accountability. It mean recognising the common humanity that we all share. It means being able to empathise with each other. This is for both sides. And defining terrorism has to include terrorism caused by an army against a population as well as resistance fighters.
James CLEARLY rattled by this "hasten" issue!!!😅
The only worry I would have is in the history of partitions. Eg India and Pakistan. Where to draw the border and how to protect minorities left on either side. Part of the Irish solution is the weakening if the border brought about by EU membership on both sides.
Each time a bell kerchings (in GB), a Palestinian child loses a limb/parent.
At 27 mins 47 seconds we saw your look of distain as a woman coughed and spluttered down his ear 👂
Its sad because the only people that talk about a two state solution are people in the west looking for an ending to this conflict while Israel continues to carve up the land that would be needed for two states
Israel has never wanted a state solution. The propose is the illegal settlements is to make it impossible.
This show is well meaning but ignorant.
What happened to the LBC journalist who was fair to Palestine?
Not the same people occupying the same space. One is indigenous, the other was planted, in the most nationalist part of the country, the north. Just like Palestine.
Because we're humans.
Very positive its probably the only way out
I don't get James' logic that acknowledging a Palestinian state takes the idea/advocacy of a 1-state solution off the table.
You only need 1 state for a 1-state solution, if that state is Palestine that is not just valid but also the most moral outcome.
Nope 2 state is not the solution
The people of Pallie just like the people of any other territory on this planet deserve to have their own democratic jurisdiction. Not sure why you wold struggle with this basic concept of democracy. England is a example of that. Scotland currently, not so much. A lot of ex-British colonies can be held up as examples. The US went to war in order to achieve it. So why would any group of people want to deny them that right, except to smite them.
the only ever obstacle to peace are the selfish, hateful and uneducated. the oppressor continuing to not have the empathy to recognize those they oppress as the same as them. human beings. hatred must be reeducated and is possible, however most time that oppression ends is when continuing the oppression is greater in blood and treasure than the perceived benefit of continuing the oppression which is a sad fact throughout history.
While European settlers are not the same people as the Palestinians.
Spain should never be compared with Ireland and Norway. Spanish colonialism is still very alive in many territories, regions, nations inside the Iberian Peninsula and in the American continent too. Spain has no authority to back Ireland and Norway decisions
Call me naive, but I believe that Palestinians can be Israelis strongest allies against outside threat if they would join together in peace.
Outside threat, you mean like aliens?
Yup you're naive
Join? Can there be a partnership in asymmetrical power dynamic with one’s abuser? Don’t side step the harsh facts and jump to the “solution”. There is a clear injustice and it’s not up to the hurt party to capitulate.
Israel can't be trusted
@@adilabbas8628
I know I am, but I still believe having Palestinians as allies is always a positive thing.
What is she talking about, has she heard what is taught in Israeli schools, did she not see the choir a few months ago. By the way James it was not catholic versus protestant, it started with catholics being attacked in their homes.
what has zippy portapotty got to say about this ?
There’s no T in england
Now will Spain recognise Kosovo?
well, I guess we all know now that James will have to hoist his 19 year old staffer aloft and promote him accordingly. Natasha will have to eat her hat. And all that we plebs can hope for is that Sunak and co. will disappear into the mists of time like Patrick Stewart when the transporter breaks down because the federation didn't have enough "migrant workers" with the proper knowledge to maintain the system.
Even when he has the right take, James continues to be a total lib, framing the conflict that arose from the colonisation of Ireland as, "having two halves of a country committed to the destruction of each other" 🤣🤣🤣
The Jewish caller was heavily bigoted towards Palestinians. I wish James would have asked how she thought Palestinians would be able to gain self governance and independence if they are not first recognized as an independent country?
That's your opinion.
To deflect from their failed government and own civil diistress?
Because nothing to do 😂with
