Here with gp news across the uk on tv in your car on Digital Radio and on your Smart Speaker by saying play on your Smart Speaker by saying play gb news. This is britains news channel. News channel. Good evening. Well the British Government have not taken long to get involved. Were sending two royal navy vessels. Therell be royal vessels. Therell be Royal Marines on board and perhaps even more significantly, well be setting a of be spending setting a couple of spy be spending setting a couple of spy planes, which will be flying over to see how hamas over the region to see how hamas are being rearmed. And all of are being rearmed. And all of this as as 100,000 Israeli Soldiers and reservists are lined up opposite gaza for what inevitably is going to be a major Ground Invasion. And however grim you think the news has been, this week, i think its quite easy to predict by this time next week it will be grimmer still. And amongst all grimmer still. And amongst all of this , a former leader of of this, a former leader of hamas , a former founder of hamas hamas, a former founder of hamas , Khalid Mashaal , has called for , Khalid Mashaal, has called for tomorrow to be a day of rage. It is to stand up to demonstrate, to study and to understand. And to study and to understand. And what jihad to study and to understand. And whatjihad is now , these what jihad is now, these comments have been aimed, and he was quite specific. They been aimed at arab and muslim countries. But there is great countries. But there is great concern in other parts of the world. For example, in amsterdam, all of the Jewish Schools will be closed tomorrow. In london, weve heard two schools, two Jewish Schools will be closed tomorrow, 1000 extra metropolitan police will be patrolling predominantly jewish area bars and into all of this, the Community Security trust , the Community Security trust, who measure anti semitic attacks report a significant rise over the course of the last few days. So the question, i guess, is just how worried should we be . Let me give me please give me your thoughts. Farage at gbnews. Com. I have no idea whether there will be spill over, but im certainly certain only concerned. Lets go certain only concerned. Lets go live tel aviv and join charlie peters. Gb news is reporter peters. Gb news is reporter there. Charlie good evening. First things first. What is the military situation in today . Military situation in today . Well, the situation in general in israel is such that idf commanders said this morning that we might see the quiet before the storm down in the south, in the northern region, we had more shelling coming over from southern lebanon and shelling from syria. Shelling from syria. And we saw the first strikes by the Israeli Air Force outside of israel hitting two airports in syria , damascus and aleppo in syria, damascus and Aleppo International airport in the south. And in the last hour, we have seen a huge rise in rocket attacks hitting the town of beersheba east of the gaza strip. And as you said in your intro, a significant force still gathering in the south of the border of the gaza strip for that likely ground incursion as over 100,000 troops gather there. The main challenge for there. The main challenge for the military, though, across the country is to sustain them. Weve seen reports today and spoken to idf soldiers who say theyre just not getting all the kit they need. Theyre relying on civilian means and charities to bring them basics, body plates, body armour, boots, military equipment, stuff that an army really needs to engage in this sort of massive violence across itself when its dealing with this existential risk press conference this morning between Prime Minister netanyahu , who Prime Minister netanyahu, who and secretary of state antony blinken, how much help have the americans indicated that they are prepared to give . Well, the are prepared to give . Well, the americans are here. It seems to both extend a humanitarian hand in trying to use its diplomacy to engage in that Border Crossing with egypt, but also to sharpen israels spear by providing what it called advanced munitions to forces in the south. They were very clear, though , Anthony Blinken saying though, Anthony Blinken saying earlier today that it was his it was his position to express moral clarity and to combat what Benjamin Netanyahu described as isis style butchery. The isis style butchery. The americans say they will stand firmly with israel in to order allow it to defend itself. Many allow it to defend itself. Many people have said that israel has a right to defend itself, but people in israel say they have to defend themselves and this is the worst violence theyve seen for 50 years. Yes. And so many, charlie, as i touched on last night with you, many the international you, many in the International Community , please community saying israel, please dont overreact, but i mean, given whats just happened to them what they supposed to them, what are they supposed to do . You guess as to do . Do you have any guess as to when you think Israeli Forces will go physically into gaza . Will go physically into gaza . Well i think its a minimum of 48 hours at this stage. Its a realistic possibility that that first invasion, the first Ground Invasion of the gaza strip since 2014 will occur in that period because a significant amount of shaping and sustaining of the ground still needs to be done. The logistics supplies to those forces in the south are required, no doubt the americans involved in that very seriously, but also hamas needs to be beaten back into their shelters inside the gaza strip. They are knocking hundreds of targets every night. The israeli air every night. The Israeli Air Force, with their airstrike capabilities , hitting air capabilities, hitting air defence assets. But also personnel and senior commanders up and down the strip. That will have a significant effect on preparing the way for any Ground Invasion, but still so much to be done and people in israel starting to really recognise that when that Ground Invasion occurs , all those shelters where occurs, all those shelters where members of hamas, the terrorists, have been hiding, they will suddenly become traps for heavy armour and all the unwieldy forces that will be pounng unwieldy forces that will be pouring into the gaza strip should that invasion occur in the coming days. Charlie peters, thank you. Once again for your live report from tel aviv. As i say, i think by this time next week , the war by this time next week, the war will be bigger and far worse than it is now. Lets hope that im wrong now. Josh howie is a columnist for the jewish chronicle, but hes also a gb news presenter. Youll see him on hes witty on headliners, and hes witty and funny, hasnt and hes funny, but he hasnt come in tonight to discuss a particularly amusing topic. Josh, welcome to the program. I chatted at the beginning here about this day of rage thats been encouraged by one of the founders and former leaders of hamas. Now even though he said that it was designed to happen in arab and muslim countries all over london, people are starting to take precaution. Lessons just to take precaution. Lessons just share with us how much concern is there in the jewish community. Well, its a huge amount of concern. Amount of concern. Amount of concern. I mean, first of all, thank you for letting me on before 11 pm, but but yeah, i mean, that p. M, but but yeah, i mean, that message went out and then he had to sort quantify oh, we to sort of quantify it. Oh, we just the arab countries, just mean in the arab countries, we mean everywhere we dont mean jews everywhere around the world. By the way, arab countries been arab countries having been ethnically cleansed of their 1 million since creation million jews since the creation of but its scary. Its of israel. But its scary. Its not just that thats i mean, weve just heard two School Jewish schools in north london have closed that my kids go to a Jewish School , two jewish Jewish School, two Jewish Schools. They are remaining open. But all the way through this week, theres just been constant emails between between the parents on the whatsapp groups from the school to us, security has been picked up and its mental that we live in a society where where Nursery Schools require guards. Require guards. I mean, you know where your kids go to School Tomorrow they will go to school because i dont want them at home. But and well do security and keep them safe. And also, its a way of i dont feel like we should give in to these people. We shouldnt have to change our lives. But you have had to change your life, havent you . As you say, you know, security guards are part the as you say, you know, securinow1ards are part the as you say, you know, securinow1ardkidsepart the as you say, you know, securinow1ardkids going the as you say, you know, securinow1ard kids going to the norm now for kids going to school. Jewish schools in north london. But i just mean even walking down the road, having my star of david out, its like im of david out, its like im sort of constantly fluctuating between fear attacked and weve fear of being attacked and weve seen anti semitic incidents increase three, 400 over the last few days. I mentioned on that and i was at the vigil in front of the israeli in front of number 10 on monday, and it was a peaceful , monday, and it was a peaceful, solemn affair to mourn the more than 1000 people who were slaughtered in a way that we cant even imagine. No. And id i took a different route home and thank god i did, because if i hadnt, it would have been caught in the middle of people swinging from lampposts and setting off flares and fireworks and chanting , oh, and fireworks and chanting, oh, youre jews are dead good. It was a celebration. It was all the media called it a protest , it was all the media called it a protest, but i called it out. It was actually a celebration of course, going on. Yeah, absolutely. And to see that and again, to see that within our society to and see the police sort of standing by with all this hatred going with this all this hatred going on and that seeing stuff like thatis on and that seeing stuff like that is of course, its terrifying and its. Me and you. Terrifying and its. Me and you. We havent actually met before. We havent actually met before. Hello. I know. I just see you later. I just see you later. Yeah. You see. Well, and vice versa. But we disagree politically. This is beyond well , its way beyond that politics. This is way beyond that. This is way beyond that. A and i dont want to maybe exaggerate or something. This is a this is a war for liberal democracy. It doesnt you know, democracy. It doesnt you know, when we disagree about how our country should be run and those things here, its but this goes to the ethos of what is our country, what is it to be british . And its about fairness andits british . And its about fairness and its about being able to live your life freely, seeing some live shots. In gaza, there was an explosion a few moments ago. No, of about of course, the point about living in a liberal democracy is that agree to disagree. And that we agree to disagree. And then elections or then we have elections or referendums, thats the referendums, and thats the result. We like it result. And whether we like it or is result. And or not, that is the result. And thats we do things. I mean, thats how we do things. I mean, lets call this out. Josh for what really is, what is what it really is, what is actually happening pure actually happening is pure racial hatred, isnt it . 100. For many years 100. And for many years now, jews been the anti jews have been saying the anti zionism semitism. Its zionism is anti semitism. Its another excuse for it. Weve seen were talking about seen it. Were talking about thousands years worth this thousands of years worth of this hate. Doesnt go hate. It just doesnt go anywhere. And always has anywhere. And it always has a different reappear. Different excuse to reappear. Whether then it whether it was religion, then it comes back as some sort of racial and now racial purity. And now its coming as as as israel coming back as as as as israel being and its insane to have to explain to your children what it is about them. It must be very difficult. It must be very difficult. Its very i wish people could just come in to see my kids schooled Primary School to come to our synagogue. Its all about peace. Its about making the world the a better place. These are literally the rules. Why we live our life. And its i mean, i understand there are many reasons this anti semitism that it exists and its so pernicious. But i it exists and its so pernicious. Buti guess it exists and its so pernicious. But i guess the thing thats most frustrating for me as someone on the left is fellow progressive travellers. To see progressive travellers. To see them joining in and to say, as you say, celebrating the death. Yeah, it wasnt just corbynism you know, there have been other strands on the extreme end of the Labour Party Going back decades that have actually this zionist actually used this anti zionist narrative. As you said yourself, a moment ago, as a cover for what . Well, it all comes from russia. Russian propaganda. I mean, there reasons for it going there are reasons for it going into into academia and what not. The is when it gets to the point is when it gets to this where we are seen the this level where we are seen the barbarism , i mean, on a scale barbarism, i mean, on a scale that we cant really imagine, ive even seen photos and the demanding for people online, it didnt happen. It didnt happen. Didnt happen. It didnt happen. They want they want to see it. They want they want to see it. They want they want to see it. They want to see the dead. We have to showcase our dead babies to somehow appease these people. I mean, its unbelievably disgusting. Their humanity and but again, its coming from people on what it would term my side. And that is horrific. Side. And that is horrific. People in my you know im a stand up comedian. Obviously im not being funny right now. No. Im not going to try this material night. But material on saturday night. But this is, you know, amongst in that industry, youre seeing it and youre seeing it, of course. And its the whataboutery. And also its the hypocrite. Me as also its the hypocrite. Me as well. When you compare it to other progressive movements and to see people here, the celebration. But this this , you know, but this this, you know, were dealing here also i said pure racial hatred. But were deaung pure racial hatred. But were dealing here with extremist fundamentalist islam. Arent we . And i, i never, ever think that it makes sense to compare anything to , ever. But in this anything to, ever. But in this case, actually, the mindset is quite similar, isnt it . Yeah. Actually tried to hide their crimes. Yeah, thats true. And this not put i
