They argue that while not everyone supports Hamas, there is a reflexive pro-Palestine sentiment as people perceive Palestinians as oppressed. The speakers express concern about the celebration of violence against civilians and the lack of response from political leaders. They highlight the need for elected officials to address these issues and the dangers of allowing extremism to fill the void.
Integration challenges and consequences
The podcast delves into the issue of integration in the host country. The speakers note that the problem is not solely caused by recent immigrants but also by second and third-generation immigrants. They emphasize that assimilation and integration have been poorly executed, resulting in a lack of buy-in to British values and identity. The podcast acknowledges the need for drastic actions like breaking up ghettos in order to prevent the situation from escalating further.
