GB News presenter Emily Carver has clashed with a former adviser to Jeremy Corbyn’s over Palestinian marches in London and the meaning of ‘Free Palestine’.
Speaking on the People’s Channel, Carver locked horns with James Schneider in a fiery debate over a video posted on social media, showing a train driver on the London Underground using the tannoy to issue a pro Palestinian message.
Showing the clip in full, Carver explained that a probe is now underway and asked Schneider whether it was appropriate to use the tannoy in that way.
“Yes, it's absolutely fine,” Schneider said before Carver sharply questioned “why?”.
He continued: “So on your way to a football match, sometimes the tube driver -”
Carver interjected again: “It’s is not a football match though, is it?”
Schneider remained calm, simply replying: “But hold on, Right. Let's just. What did he say?
“He said free Palestine, which is a perfectly reasonable thing to say and he said keep people in your prayers. That's what I just heard there.”
Carver continued to question: “What does Free Palestine actually mean to you, James? Because people throw around this plant all the time. And I wonder what does it actually mean?
“A lot of people on that rally unfortunately seem to believe that it means the eradication of Israel.”
Schnider said: “That's…hold on. That just isn't true.”
“You said loads of people on that March. I can't account for what everybody did, but I can tell you from what I saw and I was actually, I was there.
“Now free Palestine means the liberation of the Palestinian people who are dispossessed, who don't have a state, who've suffered decades of occupation, who live under an apartheid situation.
“And free Palestine means freedom, dignity and justice for those people who currently do not have it.
“It is a cry for justice and it is in no way a cry for justice.”
