'Are you a friend of Israel?' Shelagh Fogarty asks Sir Richard Dalton | LBC 

Specially at this point

That is why I refer to that person as Shelagh Foggybrain and the Looniversity educated James O'Brien as Mr No'Brain😮🤐😶🤫

@gavle And you can certainly set a high bar in imbecility as you have continuously exhibited here.

She always does that. There have been several instances where people have confronted her with logic on this issue but rather than admit logic she changes the subject. She can’t admit that she doesn’t care what Israel does or how many war crimes they commit she will continue to support them.

Yeah she couldn’t even draw parallels to how starved and desecrated people would behave in a locked up environment, that even he had to point out the same thing would have happened in London. That’s the standard of intelligence this poor woman has.

“An anti-Semite used to mean a man who hated Jews. Now it means a man who is hated by Jews.” - Joseph Sobran

Watch the video of the interview she did in November of the famous people who signed to say to stop the war, and that will show you her bias.

She's asking for the same reason the whole world is asking..... Because nothing rational, moral or sane explains why the political class is so shamelessly subservient to çrlmlnaIs.

@@sprinkz6187Jews are not a monolith. They have a variety of opinions on Israel and the war in Gaza. They have been on marches in support of a ceasefire. Stop tarring them all with the same brush.

I find the whole idea that someone can be a “friend” of a country completely absurd. It’s like being a friend of a letterbox.

You Mean They are COWARDS of the First Order!!!

They have fought multiple wars and failed. Just because you keep losing doesn’t mean you get to keep land and go again. Palestinian have had many opportunities to accept some borders each and every time they said no and decided war or use terrorism. Well what do you think is going to happen Israel was forced to become a more right wing nation as that is the perfect match to hold off Islamic minded adversaries.

@@MrWhitmen1981 I don't know where you live but how would you like it if a huge number of people came to your country from abroad and kicked you out of your home while demanding half of your country in order to form their own ethno state? Would you accept those borders??

​@@MrWhitmen1981you are wrong. Someone has convinced you to believe the exact opposite of how things actually happened.

How many "brownie points" will you grant them?

she's used to slagging off THE usual pleb voices on the end of a cracking phone line before segwaying into an ad/news break

so right!!!

the problem with being a paid for mouth piece is you quickly run out of things you've been told to say and it's hard to improvise.

A quick look at the career of Sir Richard explains his hostility & distain for Israel and sadly Jews. He is of the "old school" of Foreign Office Arabists. In no way should he ever be given air time. Yet with LBC he is dearly loved. It tells you more of the newly found bias of this station

Hear! Hear!

I stopped listening to her months ago over all this

@imran So which propaganda have you opted for?

​@@chatham43Is high definition video footage of Israel indiscriminately bombing civilian areas "propaganda" to you?

Will she get through the doors?

She ate the door

Shelagh the shelob

​@@WillScarlet1991😂😂😂😂

@@diddydum And the air.

Please engage your critical thinking for a picosecond. It wasn't a purity test; look up the history of the phrase 'friend of Israel'.

She had to ‘push’ back for the sack of clarity…I believe.

@@segue2ant395 She knew what she was doing. It was a trap, a divisive question. But he didn’t fall for it. He replied with such professionalism and honesty. I’ve listened to her shows on this topic for months and that’s her modus operandi.

@sara...and incidentally you share his opinion.😊

@@chatham43 💯%

100% agree with you; they need justice and the only way to get that is to return illegally occupied land. Only then can there peace ☮️

Absolutely 💯%💪💪💪

Exactly….. People just don’t get it do they lol Stop taking and taking more Palestinian land then extreme groups will leave Israel alone Really not difficult 🇵🇸

​@@DiDi1984-How much land would Israel have to give to the Palestinians to please you?

​@@deanbarnett8538....the land that is not the land of Israel....

Doubt it

@@mh8826 I doubt it too.

@@Forksake82 she might learn what’s it like to humiliated by a superior intellect and better human being and more humble….on second thoughts maybe not as that requires self awareness which is suspect is rather lacking here

By having Foghartybrain

Money

They're not friends. They're outright ąğęntş. It's disgraceful this has been allowed to go on.

Are you a friend of Hamas?

You Mean HAMAS and Palestinian Authority!!!

Pretty sure we are already there

ADL are probably working on "antisemitism by proxy" for that.

Beautifully said 👌🏼

I already regard it as an insult

It always has been an insult

They'll accuse of being fat-phobic. 😮

@aja So the cheques in the post?😊

She is an absolute 🤡

I am a friend of freedom and equal rights of all humans!!

....a breath..!!

With a veneer of respectability (also see Lord Cameron) they masks their old public school ways so well. He is in no way "fair minded". You will find all ex UK diplomats posted to muslim countries converted to anti Israel/Jewish hated. He is no different with postings in Beirut, Amman, Libya and Iran. So no surprise there On LBC talking to LBC this morning he actually said despite the Barak & Olmert very generous peace settlements offered to Arafat & PA and declined that now the "palestinans" are ready to live in peace and harmony with Israel and accept a State of much smaller area than they originally sought. All this despite 7 October and the polls taken indicating the majority support Hamas, deny 7 October and want ONE majority muslim state ! Shows you the quality of British Diplomatic service

@buix Dunno. Why don't you give us a clue.

Its so crazy how its not seen as an insult at this point. Bonkers

She sure does!!!

So dramatic

@@liamcragin elaborate

@@BruceWayne-he6hb Your comment is a comical exaggeration. Someone who has opinions doesn’t have blood on their hands. Someone who actually commits violence does. She may be wrong - that doesn’t make her a murderer.

@Bruce AND I CAN SPELL SHELAGH...EVENTUALLY..!😂

@syed No you don't. You just want some easy likes.😊

@chatham43 really, and how do you know what I like? Please enlighten me or alternatively just shut up!

@@chatham43oooof you’re angry lol, I see you rage commenting loads 😅

Well said 👏!!!

I'm yet to hear an interviewer ask if a person is a "friend" of any other nation on earth.

@@johncobourne361 Exactly the whole way this is framed suggests that only Israeli's or their allies can criticises them.

@@matthewsarson6934 Wrong ! NOBODY is allowed to criticize them ... or they're 'antisemitic'

She even lowered her voice when she gave the man his due, he was a consul-general in Jerusalem for 4 years

@feet You're in favour of the honours system! Unbelievable!!

@jnorth Cut the fake outrage...you're not kidding anyone...just embarrassing yourself!

@gavle But you're not really are you.

What Arab land?

The Palestinians are resistance fighters with a legal right to resist the occupation. You can fact check that! Terms of engagement for occupied people.....Geneva Convention!

Children of israel

should we still call them terrorists then?

@@SallyMarvin-c9g What does the Geneva Convention actually say?

That's pretty much what it is....

😂 yeah

She has lost all journalistic integrity with her obvious Israeli bias.She must be kicked off the show.

@tobias Dunno...but I'm sure you could make one up if required.

Could be in the the mps interests and the lobby groups the they have an connection with I sure there must be a list . Isn't it called a conflict of interest and have to declare it in a debate if there is a connection to the subject. Apologies if I'm wrong

Google it, there's a list of names of both labour and Tory members who are in the friends of Israel groups.

If our policy making was influenced by Chinese or a Russian lobby group, there would be outrage. Politicians are elected by us to govern in the interests of the British people first and foremost. No foreign nation, I would include the US in that, should be dictating our domestic/foreign policies.

Russia do influence our politics. Son of an ex kgb officer given a peerage by Boris. As for the Russian report, still waiting for the unredacted version.

@@davidforman6191 Russia don't seem to get the same bang for their bucks though do they!

@@HectorHectorious they got brexit and weakened the UK and EU at same time. More than worth it

@t.dmy It's not a fact..but apart from that you're on the button!

Sure, if you personally experienced having to evacuate your home. How can your descendants, who weren't born there, have a right of return?

It seems that those in charge of who gets to speak have seen which way the wind's blowing

Because 5 white people were killed and people stopped pretending to believe Israel’s lies.

@Will There's several reasons why you are.

If Sunak withdraws the UK from the ECHR, about 24 hours.

@amir So who do you declare as inhuman?

I am surprised that you respect her.She has little journalistic integrity or impartiality and she clearly sticks to ‘feelings’ over plain facts The fact is that Israel has waged collective punishment of Palestinians. Shame on her.

Well said it is a grossly asymmetric conflict.Israel is armed by USA,UK and Germany.
