The daily mail. Leo so mail. Sorry skipped ahead. The daily mail. Leo so yes, theres daily mail. Leo so yes, theres angen daily mail. Leo so yes, theres anger. Is the United Nations boss attacks israel over the gaza crisis and he says Antonio Guterres says the hamas raid didnt happen in a vacuum because theres been ongoing conflict between israel and palestine pretty much since since day dot. I mean, going back to pre roman times , i back to pre roman times, i believe, you know, if we want to take it back to then accept that the palestinians werent there. Yeah, the palestinians werent there. Mean , its that there. I mean, its weird that all the left of seized all the woke left sort of seized on the on the on sort of muslims as the victims when islam islam is the major colonising force across the arab world. That is true. Absolutely. Thats only sort of what 600 or 650. Yeah. 600 ad but it is i mean, it is a valid point. You kind of go, where do you start the clock ticking . I suppose if you go back far enough. These were tribes names. Tribes without names. Prehistorical think prehistorical i think the birthplace of civilisation. Prehistorical i think the biriwell,e of civilisation. Prehistorical i think the biriwell, the civilisation. Prehistorical i think the biriwell, the only sation. Prehistorical i think the biriwell, the only we, n. Prehistorical i think the biriwell, the only we, the only well, the only we, the only National Country with laws with its own currency, with a king. Right. The only sovereign state was israel. Everything since then has been controlled by the romans, everything since then has bee syriansilled by the romans, everything since then has beesyrians and by the romans, everything since then has bee syrians and various romans, everything since then has bee syrians and various other1s, the syrians and various other naļ¬ons up the syrians and various other nations up the ottoman nations as up until the ottoman empire, until the british took it over as british mandate it over as the british mandate of palestine. It over as the british mandate of iright. 1e. Right. Right. So never been another so theres never been another country israel, country there since israel, since kingdom judea. Since the kingdom of judea. Right. Right. You feel youre fairly so you feel youre fairly solid ground in of of solid ground in terms of sort of the constitutional history of antiquity. This is not a colony. This is not a colony. Thats the whole thing. This narrative of colonisation is the absolute opposite. Its the only case a colonised people case of a colonised people actually being able to take their land back. That said, in the i mean, that said, in the last sort of looked last 60 years, it sort of looked a bit more colonising, you know, its not been quite so quite so clear cut. So i mean, yeah, i mean theres been mean obviously theres been theres been wrongdoing, both sides there been tit sides and there have been tit for but at the end for tat battles. But at the end of day, theyve had various of the day, theyve had various wars, pretty horrific wars of the day, theyve had various wars, pyouv horrific wars of the day, theyve had various wars, pyouv horrifthears of the day, theyve had various wars, pyouv horrifthe countries where, you know, the countries round tried to wipe round about israel tried to wipe it you know, they to it out. You know, they said to the palestinians, know, get the palestinians, you know, get off going to off the land. Were going to wipe you can wipe them out. And then you can have land back and the wars have the land back and the wars that they lost. So why . I dont know. Seems well, i know. It just seems well, i mean, also mean, and theyre also complaining that, you know, theyre going against International Law with these airstrikes. I mean, fair enough. They of they are killing a lot of civilians. Looks horrific civilians. It looks horrific like dont trust that they like and i dont trust that they know i think, know where hamas are. I think, you not as its not you know, its not as its not as precision as the idf would have. You believe. But, i mean, its a war. Its not like when the uk bombed dresden, we were like, know , trying to like, you know, trying to minimise casualties. Minimise civilian casualties. The issue find still the issue that i find still confusing after two weeks, josh, is the extent to which everything is just playing out as it inevitably would do. And i just cannot fathom what could have been hamass motivation in taking hostages if they didnt intend to release them. Was it simply to provoke israel into committing crimes against humanity that would trigger a shift in in World Opinion . Is that the question is whether they are, you know, committing crimes against. Im not saying they have, but certainly to control to make that the narrative. No , my understanding is they no, my understanding is they had the backing of iran. Yeah who also back hezbollah in lebanon also have agents in syria. So the idea was to distract the idf down south and then they would attack from the north, which is what weve seen some bombings coming over from hezbollah. But of course, america was like, well, were going to send some warships here. Said to here. And it basically said to iran, if this happens, were going for you. So that put going for you. So that has put a stayed to that plan. Theres another actually stayed to that plan. Theres anothe meant actually stayed to that plan. Theres anothe meant to actually stayed to that plan. Theres anothe meant to be actually stayed to that plan. Theres anothe meant to be thatally wasnt meant to be that successful. So. Successful either. So. Well, i certainly would believe and witness reports seem to back up the idea that these were there. Was there was an overarching plan two weeks ago, but the individual raiding parties had quite distinct approaches to it. Some of them seem to have been unbelievable, bloodthirsty beyond imagination, others relative lovely, sort of orderly and disciplined in their activities. I dont know whether activities. I dont know whether that just is activities. I dont know whether thatjust is human nature, that just is human nature, whether thats just, you know, an artefact of their decentralised system, you know what i mean . Yeah. Well, not really. I mean, the things that ive been seeing coming out from the people theyve captured and from bodies , who were stopped is bodies who, who were stopped is that theyve, they had detailed plans. They had like the they were told. Now were seeing some of these interviews come out with people whove been with with people whove been captured alive. And they were basically told by their commanders that that to basically kill all the men and to kidnap the women and in some cases, to commit these most horrendous, horrendous. So lets theres a slightly different take on the guardian although the front pages are saying, its really saying, well, its really interesting, actually. I mean, look at both i mean, if you look at both papers they basically do papers here, they basically do look the same. Look pretty much the same. Theyve theyve theyve got the photo, theyve got got two theyve got the photo, theyve got different got two theyve got the photo, theyve got different ways got two theyve got the photo, theyve got different ways that got two theyve got the photo, theyve got different ways that they wo very different ways that they present that information across. And one here, its and in this one here, its basically anger is the daily mail anger is un boss attacks israel and of course the guardian has gone for un calls for immediate ceasefire end for immediate ceasefire to end epic suffering in gaza. Well, you know theres also epic you know what . Theres also epic suffering where not suffering in israel where not only are they dealing with this mass onslaught against the people, a huge people, but theres a huge exodus of people coming moving from south of country. From the south of the country. Theres a huge exodus moving down the north the down from the north of the country. Going back to this country. But going back to this original speech , and thats original speech, and thats partly my fault. Im sorry, leo, because i excited this because i so excited about this story excited is the story and not excited is the wrong word, but thats word wrong word, but thats the word that. Yeah built up all day and is this speech that was given at the un by the un general secretary is like the most inverted ridiculous warped when he talks about here hes talking about the land steadily devoured by settlements. Gaza, israel pulled out in 2005. They havent been there. There are no jews there. Their economy stifled there. Their economy stifled israel left them a multi Million Pound industry that they instantly destroyed and destroyed all these warehouses that were flowers. That were flowers. Gaza is not under the same authority as the west bank. The west bank has got is where the settlements are going on. But thatis settlements are going on. But that is under the same that is not under the same authority, so know authority, is it . So know completely can we completely separate. Yeah can we just at the times just quickly look at the times as on this section , which as well on this section, which is obviously a similar story, you have to hold this one is obviously a similar story, you so have to hold this one is obviously a similar story, you so timesa hold this one is obviously a similar story, you so times. Hold this one is obviously a similar story, you so times. Ohd this one is obviously a similar story, you so times. Oh yeah. One is obviously a similar story, you so times. Oh yeah. Soe up. So the times. Oh yeah. So the times has arrived to read it. My nightmare goes on. Cries freed oh no, not freed hostage. Oh no, its not that doing the that one. Were doing the rights. Drops trans inquiry rights. Body drops trans inquiry into leader. So the into its leader. So the equalities human rights equalities and human rights commission, which is the human rights body in the uk, it basically there was an internal investigation against baroness faulkner that was viewed to be a witch hunt. She faulkner that was viewed to be a witch hunt. She had faulkner that was viewed to be a witch hunt. She had the faulkner that was viewed to be a witch hunt. She had the wrong or what people would say is the wrong attitude to trans and that she just didnt. You know, didnt believe just didnt completely swallow all the trans ideology for the transubstantiation. Yeah, yeah. Transubstantiation. Yeah, yeah. So they had this this investigation into her but it was all prejudged. They leaked it to channel 4 news. So can we badenoch got wind of it. It was very worried that it wasnt going to be a fair investigation. And so she called investigation. And so she called in independent legal expert in an independent legal expert to handling to review the handling of the complaints. That complaints. And upon that happening, you happening, the hrc decided, you know were not going to do know what, were not going to do this investigation were this investigation because were not able to stitch not going to be able to stitch her was going to her up because it was going to be hunt. So they had be a witch hunt. So they had they just completely collapsed. Yeah they just completely collapsed. Ysuppose thats good news, i suppose thats good news, although it it does although it does it does indicate that there a kind of indicate that there is a kind of rottenness heart the rottenness at the heart of the state of denmark, it . State of denmark, doesnt it . Well, i mean, to see this play well, i mean, to see this play and see, as you say, play out and to see, as you say, a playing out in the a stitch up playing out in the real time, was quite an real time, it was quite an extraordinary thing because i think times people think a lot of the times people arent aware that stitch arent aware that these stitch ups, reports ups, you know, these reports come complaints come out, these complaints and whatnot. And happened whatnot. And here it happened and called and it was immediately called out. If kemi out. And because if Kemi Badenoch called badenoch hadnt and called for this then baroness this inquiry, then baroness falkner would be tarred for life as some sort of bigot when the reality was all she was saying was competing of was theres competing set of rights here. And she laid out that it says very clearly the that it says very clearly in the hrc women have the right to hrc that women have the right to safe spaces. Was all i do safe spaces. That was all i do remember. Cant what it was, i cant remember what it was, but there was one particular phrase i remember phrase which i remember thinking seemed that seemed perfectly reasonable that people screaming people were screaming and clutching about and clutching their pearls about and this was some time ago now, though, wasnt it . It was. It was about six months ago. They started something they started this or Something Like that. Seen all it to i havent seen all of it to remind myself. Ive also heard this, though. Can be bad not remains favourite to remains i think favourite to take from russias next leader. Yes i think they made a big mistake. I think they should have with her when they had have gone with her when they had the a year ago. The chance a year ago. But i think she would probably now as well. Probably have lost now as well. Maybe the thing. Maybe they did the right thing. Give it a fair crack. Exactly. Yeah finally, the star. Yeah. Well , red bugs under the bed. Well, red bugs under the bed. So weve had a lot of bed bug stories and the idea behind this story is that actually its all putins fault and its all propaganda and its all to sort of undermine the west. It. But of undermine the west. It. But the bugs are real or well , i the bugs are real or well, i dont know. Do they exist . Is there such a thing as bed bugs or is this bed bugs . Well, okay. Yeah, theyre horrible and its when you find its horrifying when you find them. The most horrifying them. Its the most horrifying moment of. You think was russian do you think it was russian agents possibly them there . I actually think i was living on road. I think on edgware road. So i think it was the there was was actually the there was a kebab shop, golf criminals who were living in the flat before me. Oh, really . They did it . Well, they probably working with russia hand in hand. Cant remember if i it i cant remember if i told it on here or somewhere else. No i think was there was another think it was there was another channel. Mention. When channel. I wont mention. When you of when i had you had the story of when i had scabies. Was 25 years ago.
