Gazan Sentiments Toward Hamas and Israel

In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sat down with journalist, author, and host of The Brink, Jake Wallis Simons, to unpack the latest in the Israel–Hamas war, the UN’s controversial genocide report, and Britain’s recognition of a Palestinian state.

We examine what Keir Starmer’s decision really means — and why Hamas itself has called it the “fruits of October 7.” Jake explains how the propaganda war has been waged from 1947 to today, why the UN has long been biased against Israel, and how famine and aid are manipulated as weapons in the conflict.

We also discuss Jake’s new book Never Again: How the West Betrayed the Jews and Itself, where he argues that anti-Semitism is a symptom of the West’s civilizational decline, from centrist fundamentalism to the rise of radical ideologies.

A wide-ranging conversation on Israel, Gaza, the UN, Western weakness, and whether we can restore our lost values.
