| 0:00.0 | This is John Batcher, conversation with Jonathan Schanser, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy's, |
| 0:06.0 | the report from London that the Labour government will withhold some armed shipments to Israel in the midst of the war with Hamas and with Iran's many |
| 0:15.4 | surrogants Jonathan reacts strongly and comments on how labor has never shed the Paul of the anti-Semitic comments by a former labor |
| 0:29.9 | leader, Jeremy Corbin, and this decision by labor is suggestive that that |
| 0:37.4 | element in the Labour Party is not gone. Johnson Schancer, F.D. regard the new labor government in London and Israel. |
| 0:49.6 | More of this tonight. |
| 0:51.3 | In short, John, I don't know, but this is undeniably a shameful chapter in British history. |

| 1:48.1 | against Iran and its proxy network but rather punishing the Israelis or something that still is not fully clear to me. |
| 1:57.6 | This certainly seems like a policy that would delight Jeremy Corbyn, the radical far left anti Israel, perhaps even anti-Semitic |
| 2:07.9 | politician in the UK. This is, it is simply really hard to fathom right now how they arrived at this decision, how they can justify it. |
