He is of a similar ilk to Comrade Corbyn. His producer on LBC vets all questions and if your name is not Ali or Muhammed you have little chance of a conversation with the oh so smug and smarmy O'Brien.<br /><br />suzanne simonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070795304779793934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-40066794230832459342015-10-21T21:32:56.590+01:002015-10-21T21:32:56.590+01:00fairbrit: I'd like to post your comment about ...fairbrit: I'd like to post your comment about O'Brien today in an article - are you OK with that?

I was only able to catch the last 25 minutes and could not phone the radio station as I was driving but he released on air a hate fest against Israel spurred on by Netanyahu's comment. The Israeli PM claims that the Grand Mufti, and not Hitler, wanted the Jews dead. <br /><br />Now I admit that Netanyahu's comment has inflamed the situation, but it takes little for O'Brien to climb onto his HATE ISRAEL podium and preach from there. He basically said that Netanyahu has 'lost the plot', that O'Brien is sick and tired of Israel being the 'only country in the world that you cannot criticise.' And when you DO, O'Brien is called an antisemite or the Jews that criticise are called self-hating Jews. <br /><br />O'Brien says he is sick and tired of anti Palestinian propaganda. And he more or less excused the recent murders of Jews 'because the Palestinians live in camps under occupation.' <br /><br />As I listened it became more sinister and deeply uncomfortable. O'Brien has always seemed to me to be humorous, clever, quick-witted and able to articulate in a simple way some very complex issues. So how then does he get Israel so wrong? How is he able to unleash an antisemitic tirade about Israel during a time when Jews are literally being knifed to death as they wait for buses and trains? <br /><br />In Netanyahu's defence, I think what he was trying to say [and failed miserably as this has worsened Israel's street-cred standing] is that Arab antisemitism predates 1929, it predates 1947 & 1948, it predates 1967, it predates 1973, and so on. <br /><br />But to BLAME the holocaust onto the Grand Mufti is ludicrous as all evidence confirms that Hitler wanted the Jews exterminated when he wote Mein Kampf in 1925; Hitler met the Grand Mufti [or corresponded with him] in 1939. On this fact O'Brien is right when he says it is impossible for the extermination to have been the Mufti's idea at such a late date.<br /><br />After hearing O'Brien's tirade today I am in no doubt that the hatred for Israel is so endemic and deep-seated among the majority of so-called intelligent Brits that I fear for the Jewish community's future here and everywhere.<br /><br />Furthermore there was not an ounce of compassion for the Jews that have been randomly murdered from either O'Brien or any of the callers.fairbrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702683109483194410noreply@blogger.com
