Britain’s divisive sanctions on Israel
About this episode
James O'Brien discusses the UK's sanctions on Israel and Nigel Farage's stance on face coverings in the context of community safety.
As the UK moves to sanction goods from illegal Israeli settlements, James explores the arguments from all sides: is it a long-overdue response to injustice in the West Bank, an inadequate symbolic gesture, or a damaging political mistake? Then, Nigel Farage wants to ban face coverings after masked men terrorised communities in Dover and Portsmouth. But why does his answer appear to focus on Muslim women rather than the men causing the fear? This episode was recorded on the 8th of September.
