WEST BANK CLOSED in RESPONSE to Attack; UK Encouraged to STOCKPILE; Anti-Semitism Report Scrutinised – Transcript

00:00Good morning, coffee moers. >> Good morning, coffee moers. How are we all? >> Welcome, welcome, welcome. Wow. Um, we have an incredibly packed uh program program podcast live today. I mean, there's an incredible amount of news, uh, breaking news in the West Bank, evolving news across the world, shocking news late last night, which was sort of landed almost without any fanfare and

00:28then disappeared and then landed again regarding stockpiling. N was meanwhile, was out uh, not even aware that people were madly buying toilet rolls. >> I had no idea and the rest of it. >> I was at the best award show I've ever been to yesterday. I'm pleased about that later.

00:43>> Nervous, but you enjoyed it. So, yeah. So, we've got an awful lot to talk about today and an awful lot of topics that we were going to talk about already and and some of them have been kind of obviously nudged to the side because of this evolving news story in the West Bank with Israel threatening to close, this is no hyperbole here, threatening to close the West Bank um after a shooting

01:08has occurred uh according to the Israeli media and the IDF by two Palestinian gunmen. In um obviously just to put it in context, we are a week out or six days out from uh Israelis going to the polls, the ballot box and voting. Um and so this has erupted and evolved. So we're going to try and provide some context to that. We're going to try and provide some updates around that. We're going to um explain what's happening,

01:34what we've got an ex post from Benjamin Netanyahu, uh the grizzly wanted war criminal. Everyone always says when they talk about Putin as they did with everyone losing their, you know, mind about Wickoff calling him a humanitarian. Every single report I heard on the radio said, and I mean after all, he's a wanted criminal. Why don't they ever say the same about him?

01:55>> And I was talking to somebody who's like on the ground sort of a charity runs a a very big charity and um you will not believe the cruelty that we never even hear about. The cruelty is part of the fun here >> with what Netanyahu orders and what Ben Wangir and Smatri order.

02:17>> So yes, the wanted war criminal. >> Yeah. Yeah. Never used. It's never used as as as a right. It's never used as a pre even by the most liberal. I mean all the time Putin wanted war criminal. Always. Always routine.

02:31>> Say it every time. Let's say wanted war. >> Wanted war. It's like from >> how does this guy get sort of like >> unbelievable green >> applauded red carpeted, adored. >> Yeah. >> Told that he's brave and that he has he's a thriver.

02:47>> Yeah. >> I mean if he I think if Benjamin Netanyahu had a six-pack, him and Trump would probably really hit >> run off into the sunset together >> because Trump is into all of all of that though he would deny it himself. Um okay. Well, look, >> you've got you've got a video on that later. We have got a lot. We've got a very funny video composed or created by CNN. Donald Trump's well is it sort of hidden or is it is it sort of his >> all his sexual references?

03:11>> All the sexual references >> to to um is it to other Republicans >> to men in general? >> I haven't seen it yet. Um, we're also going to uh refocus on the anti-semitism in schools report because a number of outlets have had time to scrutinize uh the statistical background to the report that obviously was released this week. The same week that um the government went on went into

03:38a sort of press push on political uh impartiality needing to be an absolute mainstay of schooling. weird that as we said yesterday it's attached to the same day as an anti-semitism in school report and of course as we've always said anti-semitism racism sexism >> homophobia islamophobia transphob every type of prejudice needs to be treated with the same level of uh force and ferocity to protection given to children

04:05>> protection given exactly um so we got a lot to talk about on route I just want to a couple of things obviously and obviously the thing that happened last night this is the government making an announcement to all Britons to stockpile. Um, so we're going to talk about that. I mean, that's quite a big head.

04:20>> So, I came in for my evening. Are we doing that first? >> We will, but I just before we go into that, I I do want to just share this. This is this is a poll that's just just landed this morning. Um, Greens Zionism is racism three. This has been posted by uh one of the uh someone in the Green Party, Greens Palestine. Greens Zionism is racism. Yeah, that's the motion that as as it says here. I do like that.

04:44Three weeks of deranged media. I mean >> deranged. >> I mean it's quite an accurate des. I mean truly deranged. It's like I mean >> I've never seen knickers get so in a twist. >> No. And I've never heard pants sound so in a bind.

05:01>> Okay. >> Um yeah. Uh look at this. The lowest vote share for reform uh that we've ever recorded. So Labor 26% up one. Conservatives 21% down one, reform 20% down two, Greens 13% up two. Uh implied turnout 54%. if this interesting.

05:19>> Now the question I want to ask because I don't think anyone either in the Green Party >> or in the deranged media landscape that is this country and also in the sometimes deranged and disappointing maybe uh independent media outlets and independent media journalists that I've been surprised and disappointed by. Has anyone asked this single question?

05:44When the Zionism is racism motion passed with the largest turnout of votes in Green Party history, >> did anyone stop and think that maybe two things? Because of course the press tried to say that's why Zapalansky lost his bi-election. Has anyone asked this question? Maybe Zach did slightly better than he would have done in the bi-election. Oh, >> and maybe this 2% bump is because all of

06:11those who were feeling a real heartbroken sense of, oh no, they're not they haven't got the courage of their convictions as a party went, oh, they have. They're willing to have a difficult conversation. >> Yeah. >> About Zionism being racist and then suddenly bold.

06:26>> Maybe they're being bold. Maybe they felt the boldness that we all felt and and and step towards >> and know that again >> what is needed to have any shift in our political world. >> Yeah. So I just don't think anyone anywhere and we might even be the first in the independent media outlets to say maybe a bounce in the polls and Zack Palansky doing as well as he did even though he lost was better and a result

06:52of the Zionism. Maybe it's worked in the Green's favor. Yeah, >> it's just a thought. I'm just I'm just throwing it out there. Just throwing it out there. >> So, I just got to tell um Abby because she's very desperate to know where this is from. This is Ann's style. An's style, I think it is, on Instagram. It's what? It is lovely, isn't it?

07:09>> Yeah. What does it do? Yeah, >> cuz it's the three, you know, the Palestinian. She just loves it. She keeps asking. >> She desperate. And it's got like three different hoods. >> I like that. >> There you go. >> Nice. Um, so there you go. Uh, the only thing says Gabrielle that will shift the vote in my opinion is more young people voting.

07:28>> Thank you. That's why we have to just keep trying to >> Robin Foster. This motion has really brought the racists out of the woodwork. >> It really has. It's been great. Fascinating. >> We've got like full flood light. >> I mean, did you see the I haven't got it, but did you see the brief clip with Michael Gove? It hasn't been subclip.

07:43Losing his mind with uh I think Double Down News was it? Or Declassified interviewing him. >> Oh, really? >> Losing his sheet. >> Oh god. >> In the street. Yeah, we'll try and find it. Yeah, he's being vox fought somewhere. I think he might have been at the Labour Party conference. >> Oh, yeah. They always lose their [ __ ] at the Labour Party conference if you ask them a question.

07:59>> Yeah. >> That they haven't prepared themselves. >> So, anyway, >> they don't like random questions, do they? >> No. Exactly. >> So, here. So the final thought on that poll is maybe if the Greens were even more robust and coherent and weren't afraid of a motion that in no way seeks to demonize, villainize, castigate, criminalize, or in any way anyone who's Jewish or anyone who belongs to a synagogue that declares itself a Zionist

08:25has no intent or interest in any of that whatsoever. It has an interest in digging into the political ideology at the heart of a regime that's committed a genocide. Maybe if one's just like, "Oh, okay. Well, yeah, Zionism is racism.

08:40Let's just have the conversation, the polls might even go higher for the group." >> A land without people for a people without land. Little bit sticky because it was already people on the land >> if you consider them to be people. >> Well, that's the problem.

08:54>> There in lies the rub. Okay, let's talk about the announcement last night, which was weird. And this was this is weird because I'm going to show you a report from Sky News. Um, >> is this the stockpiling? >> Yeah. >> So, I come in last night, right? I've had a really really lovely night. You know how much I hate awards things, the red carpet, all of that. I just it's just I hate them.

09:15>> Always have all my career in telly and everything. >> Well, guess what? I went to one last night and it was the best one I've ever gone to. I had an amazing night out, didn't I? I was dreading it. Dreading it. Dreading it. I laughed. I I cried. I just it was the most joyful night and it was the ethnicity awards and it was just amazing.

09:39>> Oh wow. >> The difference from when you go to these waffles where you all have bloody bolivants and you have a piece of dried chicken. First of all the food was tasty because of the spices and stuff. >> Yeah. >> And but you know what the most we had singing we had dancing. We had the kingdom choir you know that sang at Harry and Megan's wedding. They sang Oh my god. I could just cry again now.

10:04Remembering the feeling of it as they sang. We had Turkish dancers. Wow. >> And we had Heather Small was on my table and I gave her an award and she got up and she sang all the all those top hits and she was right there. >> She didn't sing the one that Labour used. Did she? Did she? Was that >> Yeah, she sang that as well. And um Yeah, she was she was just great. But um but the but the most amazing thing that I just I said to you Mark was
