1:05 am
and let's be honest, it won't just be in london, will it? no. so france has banned the protest. they got the water cannons out. they went in with batons. they whacked out the smoke we're seeing batons. they whacked out the smoke things we're seeing batons. they whacked out the smoke things , we're seeing batons. they whacked out the smoke things , actuallyseeing batons. they whacked out the smoke things , actually ining similar things, actually in rome, in italy . there we go. rome, in italy. there we go. right now , we're constantly right now, we're constantly told, aren't we? when you look at that, we're constantly told that we have to be the tolerant onesin that we have to be the tolerant ones in this country. you know what? i'm sick of it. i'm actually sick of it. i think we are too tolerant of intolerance . are too tolerant of intolerance. and anti—semitic hate has risen by about 400% in the last few days alone . we've got people days alone. we've got people tearing down protesters posters even of missing jewish children. we've got jewish schools closed. we've got jewish schools closed. we've got jewish schools closed. we've got people taking off their stars of david and hiding their stars of david and hiding their faith. i think it's ridiculous . we have no real push ridiculous. we have no real push for people to integrate in this country. the second somebody speaks the truth, which is that multiculturalism is essentially failed and that we are importing groups of people who hate other groups of people who hate other groups people while doing groups of people while doing nothing preserve protect
1:06 am
nothing to preserve or protect our culture at all. they're our own culture at all. they're shouted down our police force over here. they don't want to stoke racial tensions . fine. i stoke racial tensions. fine. i can understand that. absolute often. then they sit back , often. then they sit back, though, and just let things happen. though, and just let things happen . the irony, of course, is happen. the irony, of course, is that racial tensions have already been stoked and it's nothing to do with the vast majority of ordinary people walking our streets. we are now very often living with the racial tensions of some other nafions racial tensions of some other nations and some other cultures. and we just have to let that spill out on our streets . we do spill out on our streets. we do seem to have imported lots of extreme views, lots of extreme ideologies. i think we're to going see that play out in our capital streets tomorrow. so i look at countries like egypt , a look at countries like egypt, a country that claims to support palestine and yet does not want to people from that hamas to accept people from that hamas riddled . i can't help but riddled region. i can't help but wonder if that tells you everything you need to know . gb
1:07 am
everything you need to know. gb views on gbnews.com is our email address. i want to know whether or not you think that the scheduled protests for london and possibly elsewhere in the uk as well tomorrow should go ahead. but in the last half houn ahead. but in the last half hour, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu held a short news conference. he began by saying that he's spoken to families who've lost loved ones today and israel will never forget these horrific acts of our enemies . he went on to say, our enemies. he went on to say, we are striking at our enemies with unprecedented might. this is just the beginning. we are going to eradicate hamas. we are going to eradicate hamas. we are going to eradicate hamas. we are going to bring victory. going to eradicate hamas. we are going to bring victory . so that going to bring victory. so that is the very latest that from benjamin netanyahu, who just spoke in the last few minutes. but joining me now is gb news presenter and columnist for the jewish chronicle is josh howie . jewish chronicle is josh howie. josh, thank you very much. look first things first. i was very moved by a tweet that you posted this morning, which is that you took take kids to school should not feel like a heroically brave
1:08 am
act. do you just want to explain maybe a bit about what you meant by that? maybe a bit about what you meant by yeah. i mean, this it's been >> yeah. i mean, this it's been a grim week for everyone, not just the jewish community. and it's so grim. obviously that i'm being wheeled out before a certain time to not be funny . certain time to not be funny. but yeah, this this morning it was there was a lot of debate in in the whatsapp groups and i'm sure any parents out there, members of these whatsapp groups, they're a total pain in the but this was going on the butt. but this was going on about whether we should it was safe to bring the children to school. schools in school. other jewish schools in in similar area have closed down and ours decided to stay open and ours decided to stay open and yeah, we decided to, to send the kids in partly because of my home schooling is so terrible right after lockdown and partly in defiance and there was a lot of extra security. i mean, the fact that they're security at all at a primary school in this
1:09 am
country is mental. >> this is why i don't think this is a question i don't think gets asked enough, which is why is out of interest. is is just out of interest. why is there security outside there full time security outside synagogues and jewish schools? but people don't like it when you ask question. you ask that question. >> yeah, course, >> well, yeah, of course, because some and because we're afraid of some and coming in and we've seen it. we saw it in france and, you know, in primary school, you see it in different parts around the world and coming in and of course, hurting, killing our our children and that's the fact that that's a constant threat. but this obviously is escalated, this global day of jihad. >> yeah. so i mean, i'm going to ask a question now that i hope i never have to ask, how was the global day of jihad for you? >> it was yeah, it was just a lot fun . it was a weird thing lot of fun. it was a weird thing to live through. right? it's crazy . it's because you're crazy. it's because you're questioning your fellow human beings as you're. you're worried walking down the road. you're worried being on the tube coming
1:10 am
into work. my wife is really scared , you know, and it's just scared, you know, and it's just it just wears you down. i'm just i'm just to be honest, i'm a bit exhausted. i'm fluctuating between because obviously this exhausted. i'm fluctuating becomingwecause obviously this exhausted. i'm fluctuating becoming wecause back usly this exhausted. i'm fluctuating becomingwecause back of.y this exhausted. i'm fluctuating becomingwecause back of athis exhausted. i'm fluctuating becomingwecause back of a week is coming off the back of a week of images and that that can't not pay pay a certain psychic toll for anybody who's seen them . no of course. whether you're jewish or not. >> no. and just just on that, i know that obviously it's night—time in gaza at the moment. there are live feeds that come through which occasionally show the odd explosion. et cetera . i wonder explosion. et cetera. i wonder if we might be able to at some point, just have a quick look. yeah. so obviously it's not a huge amount doing the moment huge amount doing at the moment there, but that is gaza city, believe the believe it or not. now now the point you point of why i'm showing you what largely black screen what is a largely black screen at is because this at the minute is because this has played out to a series of raids the last couple of raids in the last couple of hours, hour or so by israeli forces excuse me , by israeli forces excuse me, by israeli forces. you see the odd flash
1:11 am
there. that will be a sign that something is going on if we come back us here i want to back to us here now, i want to just bring into this discussion as a human rights lawyer, david haig, who's a regular on the channel haig, who's a regular on the channel, on the show. channel, a regular on the show. david, thank you very much. great you on. now, the great to have you on. now, the reason i asked you on, apart from the fact that we just like your of course, is what your company, of course, is what is happening in gaza now. right? is there being told to get out a lot of these people and there's going to be some kind of incursion and then we'll have to see what happens after that. there is , of course, a blockade there is, of course, a blockade as well taking place. and look , as well taking place. and look, david, do you think that's all right ? do you david, do you think that's all right? do you think this is okay from a human rights perspective on this . on this. >> good evening to you both and patrick as well. i mean, look, you know, from from a obviously, i'll start this by saying basically hamas are terrorists. i'm not the bbc. i've got no issue in saying that at all. the problem the worry that i have from a human rights perspective is that 2 million people in the
1:12 am
gaza strip are not all terrorists. they are humans and their human rights are considerably being being, being, being you know, being at risk now, including their lives. you know, you've effectively the israelis have effectively told half of the country to move in 24 hours. that is impossible . 24 hours. that is impossible. there is going to be a catastrophe there. now, that's theissue catastrophe there. now, that's the issue that we've have. and there are so many ways you can you can look at that, whether it's risk to life, but also where do these people go? they cannot go across the border into israel. they cannot go across the into egypt . they are the border into egypt. they are stuck in a cage and that is a very, very serious issue . very, very serious issue. >> david, i'll come back to you. josh i want to bring you in on this because do you think it is all right to , i suppose, deny all right to, i suppose, deny things like water, electricity and food to a group of people ? and food to a group of people? |, and food to a group of people? i, i can understand that. if you thought that those people or not just thought if they are going
1:13 am
to attack you , then i suppose to attack you, then i suppose i would probably do the same. >> israel and gaza are now in a state of war in a state of war. you do not have to feed the people who are at presently holding 100 of your cities . holding 100 of your cities. gazans probably are sexually abusing them of some of the people that we've seen on the evidence , they israel wants to, evidence, they israel wants to, i imagine, go in there make it's not about this sort of eye for an eye or whatever. it's about israel has to protect its its citizens . i mean, it's citizens. i mean, it's a sovereign nation . and the thing sovereign nation. and the thing is also , look, i'm jewish and is also, look, i'm jewish and but here we are, 3000 miles away. it's not up to us. it's is up away. it's not up to us. it's is up to the israelis. the israeli government, the people they've voted in that to protect themselves . and we can opine on themselves. and we can opine on all of this stuff . it doesn't it all of this stuff. it doesn't it
1:14 am
doesn't matter. it's not up to us to tell them what to do. >> yeah. david, if there's a group of people there in gaza who who are committing war crimes already have are a designated terror group, i mean, does israel have a responsibility to make sure that that bit of land there is well fed? well watered and has electricity? i'm not sure they do. do they ? do. do they? >> i understand that. you know, obviously what's happened, they have a right to defend the territory. know , josh territory. but, you know, josh mentioned this is a war mentioned that this is a war against gaza. gaza is a war against gaza. gaza is a war against gaza. gaza is a war against gaza or is it a war against gaza or is it a war against hamas? now, the two i know that hamas is very well in in all of in all of gaza. but it really isn't and shouldn't be a war against gaza and all the people in there. there should be a war about about terrorists and getting them out and that's going to take you know, it's going to take you know, it's going to take you know, it's going to be very difficult. it's going to be very difficult. it's going time. but going to take a long time. but it certainly a war it certainly shouldn't be a war against josh said . against gaza as as josh said. >> i think that's that's well,
1:15 am
that's semantics in terms of let's , you know, in world let's saying, you know, in world war it was , you know, the war ii, it was, you know, the allies against germany , you allies against germany, you know, could say we're know, you could say we're against the. of course, i appreciate your point. let me change it. let's just say hamas. but unfortunately, but the two are unfortunately, intrinsically linked. they were democratically elected. and that's not to say that i or any humane human being wants any innocent people to be hurt in any way. but of course, in the argument and anybody who watches any of these debates goes is that israel, the idf , exists to that israel, the idf, exists to protect its citizens. and of course, hamas are doing the opposite by putting their their citizens as human shields in front of it . and also the other front of it. and also the other thing is, of is , is what thing is, of course, is, is what are expected to do in are israel expected to do in this situation ? what do they this situation? what do they expect? they've got 100 of their citizens. they've got to go and get them. yeah, david, this is why it's such a mess, isn't it? >> because in in the coming days, going to see a lot days, we're going to see a lot of action and there's going to be on be so much condemnation on either you either side. but i suppose you know people know what what do people what would israelis would what would israelis want their their government
1:16 am
their what their government and their what their government and their to you know , i their army to do? you know, i think right, patrick. think you're right, patrick. >> a mess. but i think >> it's a mess. but i think i think the us secretary of defence mentioned said something quite well. it's about resolve and revenge and it may and not revenge and that it may be the decisions of the people in that region that whether it's the israelis or hamas that are important . the israelis or hamas that are important. but the implications of those decisions for the rest of those decisions for the rest of the world, you know, we've seen the protests here. we already have problems with with asylum other asylum and migration in other parts . you know, parts of europe. you know, you've egypt side, you've got egypt to one side, you've got israel to the other, you've got israel to the other, you've mediterranean as you've got the mediterranean as well. can implicate well. so this can implicate asylum, its implications for everyone in the world of what happens next is significant . significant. >> i just want to say that almost sounds like we have to or not. we israel has to consider the appeasing point of people on other in the uk and their response whatnot. who might protest about this. i mean, that's not their priority at the moment. and i also say, i just want to say that when this the
1:17 am
other thing that always comes up here you let's these here is, you know, let's these protests tomorrow, why don't they go the egyptian they go to the egyptian embassy and protest and say, open a corridor for the civilians? why are are israel has said food and these other things can go in there just saying we're not going to do it. that's not. and the of hamas, the condemning of hamas, they haven't not ones haven't they're not the ones who've stockpiled food , who've stockpiled the food, who've who've used their resources , the billions that resources, the billions that have given them over the have been given to them over the last however many decades , a last however many decades, a decade a half. and they've decade and a half. and they've used they've the used that. they've used the water systems pipes to used that. they've used the water bombs. ; pipes to used that. they've used the water bombs. so pipes to used that. they've used the water bombs. so it's3ipes to used that. they've used the water bombs. so it's their to used that. they've used the water bombs. so it's their their build bombs. so it's their their responsibility . responsibility. >> both of you, we're going to we're going to have to draw a line here because we've got a heck of a lot to in. but line here because we've got a heck cyou,ot to in. but line here because we've got a heck (you, both in. but line here because we've got a heck (you, both of in. but line here because we've got a heck (you, both of you, ut line here because we've got a heck (you, both of you, very thank you, both of you, very much. i appreciate it. is much. i do appreciate it. is david their human rights much. i do appreciate it. is david also their human rights much. i do appreciate it. is david also thell,jman rights much. i do appreciate it. is david also thell,joshi rights lawyer, also as well, josh howie, me in howie, who's been joining me in the studio as thank you the studio as well. so thank you very, very much, of you. very, very much, both of you. now the help of now coming up with the help of my panel. yes, i will be looking into national broadcasting into our national broadcasting services decision to still not call hamas terrorists and see what everyone else has to say
1:18 am
about that . what everyone else has to say about that. i'm what everyone else has to say about that . i'm patrick about that. i'm patrick christys. this is gb news. we are britain's news channel
1:19 am
1:20 am
1:21 am
news radio. welcome back with me. >> patrick christys right here on gb news. now, the jewish board of deputies have written to the bbc over their refusal to call hamas terrorists. five lawyers have also written to the regulator ofcom, and accused the broadcaster of failing to show impartiality beyond doubt. the looming question is have the bbc fallen well below its standards expressed in its editorial values ? the fact is that, values? the fact is that, according to its own editorial values, it could call hamas a designated terror group. hamas isindeed designated terror group. hamas is indeed a designated terror groups. they would just be stating a fact. it is as though they are choosing not to. and as more atrocities emerge pretty much by the hour committed by hamas against innocent israelis ,
1:22 am
hamas against innocent israelis, many of them babies actually , many of them babies actually, andindeedin many of them babies actually, and indeed in some cases, some horrific cases, pregnant women, you wonder why on earth are they not just calling it what it is? but joining me now to discuss this is the former chief executive channel five, executive of channel five, former producer of the bbc is david elstein. david thank you very much. great have on very much. great to have you on the show. what do you make of this, the showing this, then? is the bbc showing his they his true colours here? if they let the nation down or not? his true colours here? if they let it's nation down or not? his true colours here? if they let it's slightlonwn or not? his true colours here? if they let it's slightly more)r not? his true colours here? if they let it's slightly more complex >> it's slightly more complex than you presented. and it's not just the bbc, because if you watch sky or itn , you to with watch sky or itn, you to with those organisations , you will those organisations, you will see they don't call hamas as an organisation, a terrorist organisation, a terrorist organisation . but i think that's organisation. but i think that's slightly beside the point. that's not a function for broadcast , that's a function for broadcast, that's a function for governments and people can make their own judgement as to what their own judgement as to what the organisation is, the problem with the bbc is they haven't acknowledged that the acts that
1:23 am
were carried out on saturday and sunday were terrorist acts. it doesn't matter . there's no issue doesn't matter. there's no issue of impartiality in terms of describing acts as they are. it's a duty under the bbc's editorial guidelines to show due accuracy . accuracy trumps accuracy. accuracy trumps impartiality all the way down the line. so the correct issue is , were these acts, acts of is, were these acts, acts of terrorism? they were should they be described as such? yes they should order the broadcasters should order the broadcasters should do that, not calling them acts of terror is in itself a value judgement because . exactly. >> this is this is the point, right? this is the point when you when you completely ignore the truth of the situation. so calling terrorist acts, terrorist acts , then in a way terrorist acts, then in a way you have picked a side, haven't you? and i find that bizarre,
1:24 am
really, that yet again, when it comes to this kind of issue, the bbc appears to be bias and have its finger off the pulse of the nation. no? well it's all a matter of bias. >> it's a matter of misunderstanding. their duty . misunderstanding. their duty. they think there's something to do with impartiality here. there is not. there is no issue of impartiality in doing your journalistic duty , which is to journalistic duty, which is to accurately describe the acts that you are showing on your screens. so let's take a for instance . there are roughly 17 instance. there are roughly 17 uk citizens , as far as we know, uk citizens, as far as we know, who were victims of the saturday attack. if hamas had come to london and killed 17 jews living in london, what would the bbc have described about that act as a militant act, an act by gunmen ? of course not. they'd have called it what it was a terrorist act. so they're getting hung up on the fact that
1:25 am
there is a debate between palestinian not just hamas, but palestinian notjust hamas, but also fatah and other palestinian factions and israel . there has factions and israel. there has been for 100 years, and there will be probably for another hundred years. that has no influence at all. on your journalistic duty, which is to describe the news as you find it. >> all right, david, thank you very, very much. always appreciate your time. david elstein, their former producer at the bbc, former chief exec of channel five. and i'm just going to whizz us over new york to whizz us over to new york quickly, because there are scenes taking place at the moment . so we've seen issues in moment. so we've seen issues in france, in the netherlands , in france, in the netherlands, in sydney, and we saw scenes in rome recently as well. so this is new york, right, where there is new york, right, where there is a big pro palestine march taking place . thousands of taking place. thousands of people taking part in it. this is just a snippet of it, of course, people marching through new york right back to me in
1:26 am
paddington now. and i'm going to go to my panel. not before time. we've got author and journalist emma wolf. i've got international security analyst will as well. thank you will geddes as well. thank you very much, both you, for very much, both of you, for joining always. ladies joining us as always. ladies first emma, did first here. so emma, do you did you buy that or was that just a load tosh designed to get the load of tosh designed to get the bbc do you think? bbc out jail, do you think? >> i think there's a few >> no, i think there's a few things >> no, i think there's a few thingthink the bbc are >> i think the bbc are incredibly i think they incredibly nervous. i think they took they didn't they don't want took they didn't they don't want to taking sides. to be seen to be taking sides. they're obsessed with impartiality. right. so they didn't the didn't come out from the beginning and say and call hamas terrorists and then they kind of doubled down and no one acts. no one says, come on, we need to correct this immediately, in which case it wouldn't be a story. now what i really object to the utter irrelevance of to is the utter irrelevance of all this. do you think the parents of murdered babies , do parents of murdered babies, do you brutalised women you think those brutalised women give toss about what we are, give a toss about what we are, whether whatever terms we're using the bbc were wrong, they should have corrected the error. but we are so out of touch when we when we get tied up in this stuff, this confected media outrage about who calls it what
1:27 am
by what word, no, people are being murdered and we are pearl clutching about this. patrick i think one of the big problems with it, this we shouldn't even be this. should be discussing this. we should be focusing is it focusing on what matters. is it is symptomatic of whether or not the broadcasters the bbc or other broadcasters would cover what is really happening, on happening, which we will come on to absolutely to now, which is absolutely indefensible atrocities that people seem , but they're clearly people seem, but they're clearly indefensible . indefensible. >> well, yeah, you hope so. yeah. but i think think yeah. but i think i think i think there's to it. think there's more to it. >> actually deeper >> i think it's actually deeper rooted i think rooted than that. and i think there a very there is actually a very valuable to this issue valuable point as to this issue and this discussion about bbc, the taxpayers are funding the we as taxpayers are funding in terms of their represent station of what's going on. i have guys on the ground in israel . there is stuff going on israel. there is stuff going on down there . last weekend my down there. last weekend my phone blew up with various different images, videos and the like, which even the msm can't publish. they can't broadcast. yeah, it's too horrific . hamas. yeah, it's too horrific. hamas. and this is where this ambiguity, this fog is kicking in. there is a question of
1:28 am
whether there's misreporting by the bbc. and i know that's a very serious allegation , but very serious allegation, but there is a lot of information that's going down there which substantiates and also supports the point of emphasising the fact that hamas is a proscribed terrorist group should be designated as and reported as a terrorist group. people are forgetting that there are three elements here. you know, looking at the footage that you had there, patrick in new york, you've israel, you've got you've got israel, you've got palestine, you have hamas . palestine, and you have hamas. there are three separate groups. there are three separate groups. the hamas even victimised palestinians . so there's a great palestinians. so there's a great deal more at play here. and i think it's really important that the broadcaster gets it right. >> so these again, live images now of what's taking place in new york. emma, are you concerned by this, this this day of rage , as it's been called? of rage, as it's been called? and for me , what it has done is and for me, what it has done is expose that we have societies within societies . and i think within societies. and i think this is why this particular round of the israeli—palestine conflict has has hit home really hit a nerve?
1:29 am
>> yeah . i wonder why it is >> yeah. i wonder why it is because everybody everybody you speak to has been affected by this in some way , even if they this in some way, even if they don't have links with the jewish community. even i was cycling through stamford this through stamford hill this morning heard you talking morning and i heard you talking to before. to josh earlier before. and obviously, actually obviously, josh was actually delivering his kids to school there. schools , there. but all the schools, patrick, security outside patrick, have security outside and that is normal for lots of jewish schools , although that's and that is normal for lots of jewisofschools , although that's and that is normal for lots of jewisof worrying. rlthough that's and that is normal for lots of jewisof worrying. rltishouldn'tt's kind of worrying. it shouldn't be but the security be at all. but the security presence around there is, is heightened and the fear on the streets in london in 2023 is palpable. so yeah , i mean, you palpable. so yeah, i mean, you know, what is going on is absolutely indefensible. whatever we call it. >> yeah. yeah. >> yeah. yeah. >> and i mean, i'd certainly say in terms of the jewish community and i've got very good and i've got some very good friends within that community at the very the moment. they are being very robust, resilient , they robust, very resilient, but they are very conscious this are also very conscious of this threat of rage. threat and this day of rage. this just literally this is just literally khaled mashaal putting out a worldwide publicity sort of snippet or if you like, taste or bite for the media to pick up on and try and promote.
1:30 am
>> well, it's worth when it comes to places like yemen, etcetera, as well. just very quickly, will just go back to this. do think we're this. when do you think we're likely israeli ground likely to see an israeli ground incursion into gaza? i know we've had raids. they've said we don't whether or not don't know whether or not they've get any they've managed to get any hostages released or anything. how see planning how do you see this planning out in hours? okay in the next 48 hours? okay >> so it's going to turn into a fibua >> so it's going to turn into a fibua situation of fighting in built scenario built up areas. scenario where you're going to have fundamentally special forces taking arrowhead it, taking the arrowhead of it, looking emplacements . and looking at key emplacements. and this is where the us intelligence instruments are being imagery is being used. satellite imagery is being used. satellite imagery is being local within being used, local assets within palestine are being to palestine are being used to actually designate and determine where hamas are. they're going to using palestinians as to be using palestinians as human shields. >> talk by the way, sorry >> as we talk by the way, sorry to cut across , this is gaza. to cut across, this is gaza. live . now and everyone will live now. now and everyone will be able to see if you're watching us on tv or online that there appears to be a monumental fireball in the sky over there, which was not there before, which was not there before, which would imply that some rockets , etcetera, are being rockets, etcetera, are being fired in. i don't know whether
1:31 am
or not well, maybe you'll be able to shed a bit light on this. yeah. >> i mean, this could be very well to illuminate well used to illuminate particular remember that particular areas. remember that a the power's a lot of the power's been cut off, utilities been cut a lot of the power's been cut off,within:ilities been cut a lot of the power's been cut off,within:ilities but been cut a lot of the power's been cut off,within:ilities but the en cut a lot of the power's been cut off,within:ilities but the oneut off within gaza, but the one thing that one's got to bear in mind is that, you know, the israeli defence force are not going and going in there and indiscriminately killing everybody path . everybody who's in their path. they are in on very they are going in on very targeted strikes into particular areas and many of the buildings, areas and many of the buildings, a lot of the palestinians that are based and the innocent palestinians based in gaza are being given sufficient warning. they've been doing leafleting, obviously, drops. obviously, leaflet drops. they've been obviously they've been doing obviously what soft drops, which what we call soft drops, which is send an is where they send in an ordnance necessarily ordnance which isn't necessarily going explode. not going going to explode. it's not going to a massive damage, but to cause a massive damage, but it's a warning to basically say you've of here, you've got to get out of here, because if you don't, is that enough? >> are people able because we've been hearing about know, >> are people able because we've bee notzaring about know, >> are people able because we've bee notzarisimple jt know, >> are people able because we've beenotzarisimple as know, >> are people able because we've bee notzarisimple as it'sknow, >> are people able because we've bee notzarisimple as it's no w, it's not as simple as it's no simple gaza, but you simple evacuating gaza, but you can't get out, it not that much? >> far from, say, what we saw in mosul, the last stand for islamic state, where they had a lot iraqis literally held lot of iraqis literally held
1:32 am
within that city and they were holding them there prisoner. these civilians, hamas are cowards. doing exactly cowards. they're doing exactly the they're using the same. they're using palestinians as human shields. yeah, they're embedding, you know, hospitals know, weapon stores in hospitals and in heavily built up areas. >> and using own >> and really using their own people against them. >> there is footage coming out of what appears to them of what appears to be them surrounding themselves with children. that they so children. yeah. so that they so justin children. yeah. so that they so just in case then, you know, let's say israel does drop a missile or something on that. well then that's used. that's the next round of propaganda to isuppose the next round of propaganda to i suppose isn't it. look what you're looking at now is gaza city skyline. going to city skyline. we're going to come back to that as that particular flame has been particular flame has just been extinguished. come extinguished. i'll also come back to my panel very, very shortly. very much for shortly. thank you very much for everything so far. now day shortly. thank you very much for ev rageing so far. now day shortly. thank you very much for evrageingimpact now day shortly. thank you very much for ev rageingimpact hasv day shortly. thank you very much for ev rageingimpact has been day shortly. thank you very much for ev rageingimpact has been seen of rage is impact has been seen across world and we'll be across the world and we'll be taking a closer look at what's been happening here the uk been happening here in the uk as we for a massive we gear up for a massive protest, a massive demonstration tomorrow . 1000 police officers tomorrow. 1000 police officers involved are be asking, should we just call the thing we just call the whole thing off? christys news is off? patrick christys gb news is

1:34 am
1:35 am
1:36 am
>> well, we already live in a city with cameras on every street corner. it's called . london >> well, this week, the former hamas chief, khalil khaled meshaal, called for protests across the muslim world today in support of the palestinian cause and for the peoples of neighbouring countries to join the fight against israel. well, the fight against israel. well, the implications of the former hamas chief's call have been seen actually right across the world, not just the so—called arab world or the muslim world. we've had school closures over here. a 400% rise in here. we've had a 400% rise in anti—semitic we've anti—semitic abuse. we've had shocking footage emerging of two women north london tearing women in north london tearing down posters innocent israeli down posters of innocent israeli children in. they've even been taken hostage, of course, by hassan and one woman was shouting this is for palestine earlier today , i spoke to nita earlier today, i spoke to nita verbeek , who is the british verbeek, who is the british israeli woman who filmed that.
1:37 am
now famous encounter of the woman ripping down the posters . woman ripping down the posters. she actually fled israel for britain just a few days ago, but now she's scared to show her jewish faith in public. here's a little snippet of our chat earlier. i was hanging up the flyers and after several different incidents , including different incidents, including ones which i didn't catch on camera , uh, three people i camera, uh, three people i didn't manage to catch all three of them in the video came and they started tearing down the leaflets. >> one of them came up to me. he stuck his middle finger up at me whilst shouting free palestine. um very aggressively. and then i saw somebody else, an onlooker, filming . so i quickly got my filming. so i quickly got my phone out and filmed the second half of the incident, which is what you can see in the in the video. so a man approached me and asked me what i was hanging up . he read the leaflet and he up. he read the leaflet and he started shouting at me that this is karma for the jewish people. they've gotten what they've
1:38 am
deserved, that people have brought this upon themselves and didn't engage because i was by myself. and also i've been in israel this week and i managed to get back two days ago and i just didn't have the emotional capacity to deal with interaction . interaction. >> right. so my panel about with me now, i've got author and journalist emma wolf, international security analyst, will geddes. be will geddes. emma, i'll be honest with you, when i looked at last night, i thought, at that last night, i thought, you know, for this talk you know, for all this talk of multiculturalism and diversity are our greatest strength, i thought, well, it's not working now, is it? >> it's not. and look, passions are running high and there's a lot of grief and outrage and angen lot of grief and outrage and anger. just i just keep anger. i just i just keep focusing on the fact that innocent civilians are dying, babies and grandmothers and parents and young people. i'm not really taking sides on this. ijust not really taking sides on this. i just simply keep thinking of the innocent civilians who have no idea. these babies have no idea what a border is or a
1:39 am
crossing or a religion or a faith or an ideology is. they just are just absolute wasted lives . they are. lives. they are. >> and, well, how bad is that humanitarian situation going to get in the coming days ? do you get in the coming days? do you think? >> it's going to get really bad? it's already bad. and one of the hardest challenges that the un have now trying to get have right now is trying to get resupply obviously food resupply in of obviously food and supplies, obviously to civilians . the issue i mean, and civilians. the issue i mean, and i again, i go with your points of what you were saying about not taking sides . i do take not taking sides. i do take sides. i take israel's side. obviously being the obviously in terms of being the victims situation. and victims of this situation. and again, your again, i think as as your guest earlier patrick, you earlier was saying, patrick, you know, could carry it out know, if this could carry it out in the united kingdom or anywhere the world, then anywhere else in the world, then then we would all really be standing by. >> just a quick the images >> just a quick one. the images that the screen now are that are on the screen now are in stark contrast to a lot of the images that we've seen elsewhere. believe, elsewhere. so this, i believe, is washington, dc . yeah. and is in washington, dc. yeah. and this is a pro israel march. a lot of the other marches have been pro—palestine line. so
1:40 am
yeah, there was some some ones before anyway that were that were in israel i think this one now is just a replay. yeah. this is a replay of some of the scenes that the aftermath of london, what we were looking at then could see so many then we could see so many israeli flags of course is in washington, pro—israeli washington, a pro—israeli march. but on. but yes, sorry, carry on. >> really sort of >> i mean, really sort of cutting to the quick on this, patrick, you're patrick, because i know you're limited time. the is limited on time. the issue is palestine. palestinians palestine. the palestinians are not themselves in this not helping themselves in this situation, endorsing what hamas have here. the fact is have done here. the fact is that, again, is very that, again, there is very little reported and i'd love to see the about how see more in the media about how palestinians are victimised by hamas, where they will torture people, they kidnap people, they will kidnap children , they these children, they will do these things against palestinians . and things against palestinians. and i that are here that i think those that are here that are sympathetic to palestine, many of which out protesting many of which are out protesting , are protesting at the wrong time. optics for them is not time. the optics for them is not going work favour. going to work to their favour. >> ask a question of you >> can i ask a question of you both men? how is any fighter both as men? how is any fighter able to do what they have been doing? how are these men? and it is how these men ? men is men? how are these men? men who are fathers, who are brothers , who are husbands? who
1:41 am
brothers, who are husbands? who are , you know, it's islamic are, you know, it's islamic extremism. how are they able to cut a baby from a pregnant woman's womb ? how are they able woman's womb? how are they able to shoot a child, to tie children up, to burn nurseries? how are they able to do that? >> yeah, but sadly, in this world, there are evil people and there are evil people are there are evil people who are going go there with going to go out there with a distorted agenda to carry out these people these things. othennise people like exist. like me wouldn't exist. unfortunately, is a unfortunately, there is a situation here where people will. i've seen atrocities across the world from bosnia, iraq, afghanistan , and it's been iraq, afghanistan, and it's been a reminder of how power fuel the ideology is that men can go into homes and do that. having operated in combat zones. i also know that there are things that we will see that we are we're protecting people against, that you will see atrocities being committed here and there is no fathoming of why people will carry out these things. >> well, can i ask the hostage situation? i know that everyone's deeply concerned about it . i everyone's deeply concerned about it. i had a jewish friend of mine messaged me to actually
1:42 am
ask this question of you. yeah what are the chances of getting hostages out alive, do you think i think i think there is a good chance. >> and i think your friend can hold hope that they can potentially get them back. we've got remember the first got to remember in the first instance, is not instance, this is not conventional and instance, this is not com dealt1al and instance, this is not com dealt1al enough and instance, this is not con\dealt1al enough those i've dealt with enough of those where it is a transactional process and will some process and there will be some bargaining. a bargaining. it could have a political there political agenda, but there usually money that's behind usually is money that's behind it. instances , it. in 90% of these instances, in the case of these israelis that have been kidnapped , i that have been kidnapped, i think in terms of some of these people, they won't have been treated well, that's for sure. i think other issue think secondly, the other issue is they will be held in is that they will be held in various key locations. they will also be moved as gaza is coming under strike. going be under strike. it's going to be down assets in gaza who down to local assets in gaza who are going to be feeding intel to the intelligence agencies to give of where they give positioning of where they possibly are being held. and surely surely surely the rescue and surely these hostages are going to be very of very valuable very kind of very valuable social media tools. >> you know, every killing will be filmed, every, you know, the revolution will be the
1:43 am
revolution will be the revolution be televised. revolution will be televised. it could single could go on for every single killing will be shown on twitter. thing is , when do >> the thing is, when you do when actually forced when you actually do a forced rescue, last rescue, that is always the last resort any kind of hostage resort in any kind of hostage recovery situation . that is the recovery situation. that is the really end game . but that's really the end game. but that's usually you've got usually when you've got the hostages going to be potentially. right . potentially. all right. >> okay. you, thank you >> okay. both of you, thank you very will back to very much. we will come back to you. coming up, the fa you. you know, coming up, the fa are serious criticism for are facing serious criticism for not wembley arch not lighting up the wembley arch in colours of the israeli in the colours of the israeli flag england flag for tonight's england versus australia. friendly or not, of course, you should be watching this watching that right now at this particular time. would you be watching how far watching us here? but how far should organisations go when it comes their support should organisations go when it coninternational their support should organisations go when it coninternational events?iupport for international events? we've seen ukraine, we've seen seen it with ukraine, we've seen it the lgbt flag, we've it with the lgbt flag, we've seen it with france, etcetera , seen it with france, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. why not this patrick christys british patrick christys gb news british news .
1:44 am
1:45 am
1:46 am
channel welcome back. you are watching
1:47 am
or listening to me. patrick christys on gb news. now the fa have found themselves in extremely hot water today after they decided not to light up the wembley arch in the colours of the flag. the decision the israeli flag. the decision has caused outrage given the fa's track as will be fa's track record as you will be able you're watching fa's track record as you will be able your you're watching fa's track record as you will be able your tvyou're watching fa's track record as you will be able your tv screensratching fa's track record as you will be able your tv screens nowing fa's track record as you will be able your tv screens now of us on your tv screens now of lighting it in a variety of lighting it up in a variety of different that i believe different causes that i believe is ukrainian flag. is the ukrainian flag. there's the lgbtq+ flag we've had in france , turkey as well. anyway france, turkey as well. anyway this sparks an interesting debate . to what extent should debate. to what extent should organisations become involved in international events and potentially political affairs? joining me to discuss this is a fan favourite at gb news and one of our contributors, presenter occasionally as well. it's a wonderful albie amankona albi of the fa scored an own goal here. >> i think the fa are in a really difficult spot because one of the things they've one of the things that they've been recently they have been doing recently is they have been doing recently is they have been social been taking positions on social issues. position issues. they've taken position on lgbt rights by lighting up the wembley arch in the pride colours , you showed our colours, as you just showed our viewers watching , they have viewers watching, they have taken black lives taken positions on black lives matter teams taking the
1:48 am
matter with teams taking the knee before football matches and they've also taken positions on conflicts as we've seen them light up the wembley arch and the ukraine colours and of course all the terrorist attacks. i think the lit the flag up french tricolour. flag up in the french tricolour. so on so they've taken positions on this i think that this before and i think that makes it difficult when they're deciding up the deciding not to light up the arch in the israeli colours . arch in the israeli colours. however, one thing that we've also got to remember is that i think at the friendly between australia today, there was a minute's the minute's silence before the match and the players were wearing armbands. wearing black armbands. so some people that actually people might argue that actually they showing their they are showing their appreciation and respects that way. >> i think some people in football, they always bang on, don't about can't have don't they, about we can't have politics and sport mixing despite the fact that are despite the fact that they are always intent mixing always so intent on mixing politics and sport. yes, i am talking lineker and politics and sport. yes, i am talki|you lineker and politics and sport. yes, i am talki|you end lineker and politics and sport. yes, i am talki|you end up lineker and politics and sport. yes, i am talki|you end up with|eker and politics and sport. yes, i am talki|you end up with situations then you end up with situations like this where they find it deeply or they deeply controversial or they don't which side take. deeply controversial or they don'so which side take. deeply controversial or they don'so they nhich side take. deeply controversial or they don'so they nhich quiet. take. deeply controversial or they don'so they nhich quiet. and e. deeply controversial or they don'so they nhich quiet. and it and so they keep quiet. and it almost highlights hypocrisy and so they keep quiet. and it al|that highlights hypocrisy and so they keep quiet. and it al|that sense. jhts hypocrisy and so they keep quiet. and it al|that sense. iits hypocrisy and so they keep quiet. and it al|that sense. i think hypocrisy and so they keep quiet. and it al|that sense. i think i guess sy in that sense. i think i guess my question would be, is it hypocnsy my question would be, is it hypocrisy or are we annoyed that the fa isn't doing enough
1:49 am
because they are actually doing something? >> there was a minute's silence before the match today. they're wearing black armbands. if the argument doing argument is they're not doing enough, if the enough, then fair enough. if the argument is they're not doing anything at all. but look at what they've with these what they've done with these other not other things, that's not credible. >> it's a good point that it's a very so i'll go very good point that. so i'll go over did you over to you. emma, did do you think should picked think the fa should have picked a side? >> tricky. and also >> it's tricky. and also is lighting arch the lighting up the arch with the israeli flag, as you know, number 10 downing street did finally a day or is finally after a day or two. is that taking sides or is it just showing respect and showing, you know, world stands with you. know, the world stands with you. we you . it's we are thinking of you. it's probably yeah, i can see that. it's seen as taking sides . i it's seen as taking sides. i come back the bbc point, it's come back to the bbc point, it's to me it feels a little bit irrelevant. felt to me it feels a little bit irreleyou . felt to me it feels a little bit irreleyou know, felt to me it feels a little bit irreleyou know, overpaidt that, you know, overpaid footballers the knee over footballers taking the knee over things like this, most of them playing in saudi and then going and following and playing and following the money to . and money wherever they want to. and often really often they don't really understand talking understand what they're talking about. you you ask about. you know, if you ask them, they taking the them, why are they taking the knee, most of them wouldn't know. think kind of know. so i think it's kind of irrelevant. actually , given irrelevant. but actually, given the situation, it seems odd that
1:50 am
they've taken the taken their position on so many other of these issues . maybe not this one. >> maybe it's symptomatic actually the that actually, with the fact that there amount of there is a huge amount of feeling out there that what's going palestine wrong going on in palestine is wrong and that whilst whilst hamas terrorists have committed atrocities that people really do not agree with everything that israel does. yeah, well , they israel does. yeah, well, they may very well do that, but then you could put it into question. >> the ukraine colours being obviously on the arch, obviously shown on the arch, then there know then because there are i know certainly some ukrainian russians been very , very russians who've been very, very quiet. know, there is you quiet. you know, there is you know, as they always say, there's two sides story there's two sides to every story and middle is and somewhere in the middle is the so of the truth. so in terms of the them not showing obviously the colours in solidarity . to colours in solidarity. to israel, it basically just shows that they're literally virtue signalling as and when they feel it's appropriate. and what is the most current subject they want to promote, which is a bit rubbish besides, follow rugby. >> besides, do you follow? maybe that's the way to go. i do think it does maybe highlight, albie,
1:51 am
how this virtue how some of this virtue signalling is often just a fashion so it's fashion trend actually. so it's very fashionable at times and certainly controversial to certainly less controversial to have backed ukraine, very fashionable , very everybody. fashionable, very everybody. >> was wearing blue >> everybody was wearing blue and yellow. it was actually cool to have a little blue and yellow flag cheek. flag on your cheek. >> and i argue sometimes >> and i would argue sometimes i think the flag can be think the pride flag can be massively for massively overused for commercial gain during sometimes . yeah, you can't do that with the israeli flag. so that's why they don't do it. >> well, i guess the question is should football and the fa be taking political positions at all? if your opinion is that they shouldn't, then you should be arguing that they shouldn't be arguing that they shouldn't be up the flag. the be lighting up the flag. the israeli colours, and there shouldn't silence, shouldn't be a minute's silence, there be any of that. there shouldn't be any of that. but be but there also shouldn't be taking blm. there but there also shouldn't be takirshouldn't blm. there but there also shouldn't be takirshouldn't be blm. there but there also shouldn't be takirshouldn't be pridei. there but there also shouldn't be takirshouldn't be pride flags.e also shouldn't be pride flags. >> started, they've >> they've started, they've started they'll but started, so they'll finish, but instead of dangerous precedent, because now on there's because from now on there's going to be big question marks about whatever else they decide to i actually quite hope that >> i actually quite hope that this mean, won't, but this this i mean, it won't, but this draws they'll stop . draws but maybe they'll stop. >> also, there's no downside >> and also, there's no downside
1:52 am
when we think about the rainbow flag. rainbow flag. i mean, there's rainbow flags on a crossing on my flags on my on a crossing on my street there's no street corner. there's no downside to whacking a rainbow street corner. there's no dowmnie to whacking a rainbow street corner. there's no dowmn yourwhacking a rainbow street corner. there's no dowmn your bank(ing a rainbow street corner. there's no dowmn your bank org a rainbow street corner. there's no dowmn your bank or youninbow street corner. there's no dowmn your bank or your shopv flag on your bank or your shop or or your rainbow crossing or your or your rainbow crossing or your or your rainbow crossing or on your police uniform and saying, we stand with the lgbt community. there's no downside. whereas here it's a more difficult situation, security dynamic. >> i mean , obviously you've got >> i mean, obviously you've got you've got the issue of a far more fragmented and disenchanted group , which if they offended, group, which if they offended, could see it as a viable target. now i know the fa takes counterterrorism very seriously and they're looking at obviously ensuring that anybody who goes there is going to be safe. however the problem you have with hamas and that bunch of lunatics and cowards is that they will have the individuals, they will have the individuals, the who want to the lone actors who want to carry their attacks. we have carry out their attacks. we have the threat from international terrorism. this is just another dynamic terrorism. this is just another dynthis: terrorism. this is just another dynthis is another dynamic. but >> this is another dynamic. but just if that's all just quickly, if that's all right, are due have quite right, we are due to have quite a big demonstration tomorrow in london. calls for about 1000. police are going be there, police are going to be there, people saying we should people saying maybe we should have what what's happened
