PM Bennett reminds me very much of the actor Lior Raz in the Jewish TV series Fauda (extremely good).

Notice how the Israeli's carry themselves with dignity and if you think about it they go about their business in Australia...quietly with no fuss...living in peace!!!! The actually add something positive to the Australian community on all levels. Compare them to the other ignorant rabble.....

Such great work you are doing on this. Brilliant interview. Bennet has conducted himself quite well. He was a bit double minded as PM but when it comes to the crunch the Israelis put aside differences. If you want the practical on the ground commentary- Melanie Phillips SS has beautiful commentary.

Will poor old JB know where he is or who he supports when he goes to Israel? I would have thought his visit would be a liability not a blessing. After all the 6 billion he gave to Iran contributed to all this and his lifting of sanctions in his zeal to cultivate Iran.

I remember the scene in the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" where then Arabs led by T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole), found their entire village massacred by the Turks (Historical fact). When Lawrence and his troops caught up with the retreating Turks, they shouted: "No prisoners! No prisoners!" and then tore into these murdering Turks like a fire storm. - No silly babblings about 'international law, no rules of war, no proportionate response'. As of the monstrous pogrom on the 7. October 2023 Israel finds itself in a similar situation: "Kill or be Killed" That is the law these murdering Hamas demons have forced on the Jews.

Israel try hard not to kill civilians. Hamas don’t.

Thanks so much, James for a great interview. For some reason we have difficulty getting sky so it is good to see your content. What I like so much about this was that he was very level headed and not foaming at the mouth angry like Hamas. Israel has suffered disproportionately for their entire existence and it is with great sadness the nation looking for peace is now harassed by its enemies who don't seem to remember Israel fighting them off with minimum weapons but many farm implements when they were offered up initially by the British government to the Arabs. Bob Dylan's brilliant and prophetic song Neighbourhood Bully spells it out in good detail. Well worth looking at.

Thank you James, Liz & Caleb How I admire Jewish people and the State of Israel 🇮🇱 for which AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 could learn many lessons. Even in the face of such horror and adversity they remain steadfast, united and incredibly resilient. 300,000 + reservists called, and they responded knowing they could be injured or even die.

Our young people are taught to hate their country culminating in a poll last year showing 30% would not fight for Australia if invaded. Our nation is so divided - truly sad.

In a time like this there are no civilians in Israel. Everyone is a soldier on active duty.

Thanks James, I watched the interview last night - so good. I noticed there was no malice or recrimination of Bibi's government - so unlike our own government re the ref. Israel's leaders have been able to put aside their differences and are united in putting first the safety and well being of their nation. Praying daily for Israel. Golda Meir, Israel's first woman PM is quoted as saying "Until the Palestinians love their children as much as they hate Israel there will never be peace". Even so ... Maranatha! Psalm 91 is a great comfort these days.

I watched that interview, it was excellent. I had never really taken notice of him before but he was very good and I was amazed at how young he appears
