BENSON BYTE: Douglas Murray - U.K, France, Others Have "Weak Leaders" For Recognizing a Palestinian State
Manage episode 508093881 series 2300922
Douglas Murray, Manhattan Institute Fellow and author of On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel and the Future of Civilization, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to President Trump's speech at the UN, arguing that the United States has become somewhat of a lone voice in condemning Hamas terrorists within the body. Murray weighed in on the UK and France's recognition of Palestine as a state, which he said is a purely domestic political move with no intention of making it a reality. He also reacted to disturbing incidents in the UK, including a Jewish man threatened with arrest simply for his presence at a pro-Palestinian rally, and the arrest of Graham Linehan, which he called an example of the "left-wing enforcement ring." The conversation turned to the rise of Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which Murray sees as a revolt of ordinary Brits against the radical Labour Party. Benson and Murray also reflected on the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, nearly two weeks after his assassination. Listen to the full interview below!
