- How can Israel protect itself from Hamas without causing a catastrophe in Gaza? (10:55)
- Could every Jew or Muslim who has the potential for dual citizenship potentially be deprived of their citizenship if the government of the day decides they have committed a crime incompatible with British citizenship? (23:22)
- Why don't British Muslims and Muslims worldwide collectively mourn for the 377, 000 Muslims recently killed in the current war in Yemen or China, or Pakistan or Myanmar in the same way that they mourn the deaths in Palestine? (33:30)
- If I condemn Israeli policy regarding settlements, does that make me an anti Semite? (45:28)
