Discussion on Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

So in fact, the show was sold out, but, and I canceled that show,

having heard that, you know, Hykeham Park is built on a Palestinian s-

graves and blah. And I said, "Now then,

you are the generation of young Israelis who must make peace with your neighbors,"

and blah, blah, blah. And they went from, "Ah,"

yeah, well, just a

. It was uncanny.

T- they went from that to, "What the

are you talking about? We're not gonna make peace with anybody.

Are you crazy? They're animals." And that ...

I mean, they didn't say all of that, but they went very, very quiet.

And we went all over the West Bank,

and

it was chilling beyond anything that I could ever have

imagined to see. And the absolute

disdain and disgust with which we, me with a

British passport and in a UNRWA vehicle, was

treated by all the young Israeli border guards and people.

I remember thinking at the time, "If they're like that to me, what

must be ... They'd be like to the Palestin- "

And of course we

know. And now to bring it entirely up to date,

we know exactly

what they're like to the Palestinians because they are, as we

speak, committing genocide in Gaza.

You can't possibly put yourself in that

position,

in their position, those mothers and fathers,

those children, those 2.3 mil- well, a bit less

now, people living in Gaza, being bombarded by

F-16s day and night, week after week after

week.

You can't ... One cannot, um, even begin to imagine what,

what it must be like, and that it's being cheered on

by the most powerful empire in the world is disgusting beyond all beli-

and not to mention B'nai Brith in your country.

And Trudeau, he's cheering it all on as well.

What is wrong with these people? How can they possibly be doing

that? How can they still be trying to cast the

Israelis as victims? Still have tried to get my

shows in Buenos Aires canceled on the grounds that

I'm an antisemite, which I'm not,

obviously.

Right.

It's such errant nonsense. They said,

"We have to lie and lie and lie, and the bigger the lie, the more

likely people are to believe." That's what these stupid

have been doing against me.
