There is a difference in having an informed opinion and simply having a view. The failure to call what happened in October, for what it was, namely a massacre of innocent people and then to deny that it happened despite the fact that the crimes were live streamed by the perpetrators is beyond belief.
We are always told that its only a tiny number of Muslims that are extremists, yet none of them will ever criticise when an extremist commits an act of terrorism. Our Muslim guests are giving the same message every day: "you have to tolerate us, because your values include tolerance. We, however, do not have to tolerate you, because our religion incites us to do so." “Not all Muslims are terrorists” … they always say ……yet I’ve never seen a Muslim openly criticise these acts of terror …. The silence is deafening. Wake up !!!!
Every country in the world that has taken in Palestinians has massive regret. Kuwait expelled over 300,000 as they helped the invading Iraqi soldiers. Lebanon has been destroyed by Palestinian immigration. Egypt-refused Jordan-refused Iraq-refused Syria-refused Pakistan-refused Turkey-refused Iran-refused Afghanistan-refused Also UAE and Saudi Arabia. What does that say about these individuals it surely isn't good is it ???????

Yes, it's so sad! It is Muslims against Muslims in Civil War ---- but, you don't see the very, very rich Muslim nations do anything about it. Where are their good works???
So a queer is for Palestine. Let's break this down, a person who lives a life that would result in severe punishment or death in a country, supports that country over a place where they can roam free. This is not bleating hearts, this is anti-Jew. Pure and simple.
So Everytime someone criticize Israel for what's it been doing for years it's anti-Semitic it's a joke y'all need to stop this foolishness narrative then again for y'all ISRAEL can do nothing wrong
or what PLO is, FAL, Golden Square of Iraq, Amin al Husseini.. who all of these worked for.. for an artist.. from a country known for its good technology

I'm University educated, but it's a generational thing. It's the younger folks who were not shown "World at War" documentaries in junior high and high school. I am absolutely pro-Israel AND I am University educated. This is a failure of the United States and UK education system, altogether. My generation was shown and told what terror was, and it also affected our families. "Youthful idiots" is a good term.
The Arab population in the region (no such thing as "Palestinian," ask the PLO Executive Committee) stood at 1.7 million in 1948, it currently stands at 7.6 million. What "genocide" are you talking about?

When Hamas started all this in October they knew exactly how it would run. They knew Israel would react, they knew so many in the western world would then consider the Gazans the victims. The antisemites here suddenly found a “cause” they could unite behind. For the youth it’s just the latest fad. Before long they will move onto something else.but the damage they will do in the meantime is immeasurable.
The problem is that Hamas thinks that there's going to be some kind of uprising in the west because they watch random protest video's on social media. They don't realise that 99% of the protesters are just bored students who have absolutely no clue what they're even protesting.
In the Netherlands we had the opening of a Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam. Pro-Palestine demonstration was permitted next to the museum. The Arab Grand Mufti was drinking tea together with Hitler in 1942!!! And yet the Mare agreed to this demonstration. The world is getting crazy.
The western world is waking up and as a Christian who is proud to be British, I know Islam is not my friend and know their true intentions in our country.
The problem is there a lot more Muslims living in the Uk and in Universities and they are now expressing their hatred of Israel... because a lot of muslims feel this way. I think most British Christians and british people in general support Israel. We are the majority...but we are not marching the streets about it.
@@run2cat4run Islamic AND Jewish cultures were considerably less abrasive at that time. We can't scrutinise one aspect of that regions history without a broader understanding of the Islamic nations further afield. Unfortunately, there are virtually no voices in the current "liberal Left" who are interested in the history of the affairs of the Middle East, and even LESS interested in the wider public knowing that history either. So you end up with hundreds of thousands of uninformed people all with a somewhat one-sided perspective. The MSM have a great deal to answer for. But as we all surely know by now: there are bigger forces at work impacting MANY matters.

You worship Yahweh and that makes you a 2nd class Jew. You are literally trying to fulfill Jewish prophecy. Here's something from the Talmud - Deuteronomy 20: "10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. 16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes." Lies, slavery and genocide are baked into your ideology and as your Jesus said, if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword.

@@juliandarch9278 In the 20th century alone: 1. Muslim Turkey has expelled approximately 1,500,000 Greeks from its empire in the east and replaced them with Turks. They have massacred approximately 2 million Armenians and replaced them with Turks in the west. 2. Muslim Turkey has invaded and occupied northern Cyprus, displacing the Greeks living there. 3. Muslim northern Sudan has conquered much of southern Sudan, literally enslaving its Christian and pagan population. 4. Indonesian imperialism has occupied all of non-Islamic western New Guinea and incorporated into Indonesia. 5. Muslim Indonesia has invaded and conquered Christian East Timor with horrible loss of life. 6. This very day, Muslim Indonesia is attempting to destroy Christianity in what used to be called the Celebes. 7. A half-dozen Arab countries have fought two to four wars (depending how you count) in an attempt to destroy Israel and occupy its territory, and is currently continuing the attempt this very day with the publicly voted consent of 55 of the world's 57 Islamic nations. 8. For no good reason, Muslim Libya has blown up western aircraft, killing many civilians. 9. Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist war of aggression, invaded and occupied Muslim Kuwait. 10. Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist act of aggression, invaded Muslim Iran with a resulting (some estimates say) death of 2 million people. 11. Muslim Albania, this very minute, is attempting to enlarge its borders at Christian Macedonia's expense. 12. Muslim Northern Nigeria has been (and is currently) an aggressor against the Christian south. 13. Muslims expelled approximately 800,000 Jews from their homelands between 1947 and 1955. 14. During Jordan's occupation of the West Bank, the kingdom undertook an unsuccessful attempt to make Jerusalem a Muslim city by forcing out approximately 10,000 Christian inhabitants.
Yes. I little I know about UK law was that any speech that MIGHT LEAD TO VIOLENCE (even if violence was not literally intended) would be designated as hate speech. Thus, calling another nation "a bunch of cockroaches" might not consciously, literally be calling for violence against that group, but would subconsciously, implicitly, be recommending it. In the case of Hamas and Iran . . . there is LITERAL AND CLEAR speech intended to incite violence AND likely to LEAD TO VIOLENCE (that has all been clearly shown now). Hence I would think that that kind of pro-Hamas speech in the UK would be deemed illegal. I wonder . . . but that it is HATE SPEECH . . .that is as clear as day.

I believe IDF says they have eliminated 14,000 Terrorists in G@za. Which means that the ratio is 1-1 which is the lowest ever recorded for urban warfare. Additionally, please remember that 30% of rockets fired by Humus backfire or misfire and are launched directly from civilian areas like apartment buildings and Schools. When they fire rockets and even guns and RPGs Humus intentionally surround themselves with their own children. They want to martyr the,selves. They believe it is their highest honor as well as they receive 1 million dollars per death they can blame on Israel. And because of the above the G@zans are also counting every death from every reason as fault of IDF. Without any war 4,000 people would die from natural causes. Many pre 1 year old babies die in Haza because women aren’t allowed to breastfeed. Hundreds of babies would live past 1 if only women breastfed.
I couldn't agree more and I am almost desperate when I see people in our democracies believing the lies of the terror organisation and have no compassion at all for the brutally butchered Israelis. I had discussions with 'moderate' leftists since the 1980s and even they are hardline anti-semits. It makes me angry and sad. As a German non Jew I stand with Israel. Schalom
It was the same in northern ireland through the troubles the prepatraitors were always believed they had a slick propaganda machine. Even today they cry foul if they don't get they're own way and the government is weak liveted
Imagine staring a war then losing then starting another war then losing then starting another war then losing and then have the nerve to call yourselves victims 😂😂😂
This doesn’t relate to anything specific that Melanie said in this interview, and what she did say makes perfect sense, as it always does when she speaks and writes with such authority. Why is it that people slavishly believe in the utter myth that Israel is carrying out genocide against Palestinians in Gaza? Israel has a very powerful army and associated military resources and if it really wished to carry out genocide against Palestine it could do so in a heartbeat but clearly chooses not to. The only people pursuing their dream of genocide are the hostile Arab nations who want to remove Israel from the face of the earth. This is so obvious that it beggars belief that people fail to understand this.
So let's look at the facts on the ground what gonna happen to people of GAZA they should subject themselves to ISREAL abuse like they have been getting, how can someone comes into your home and tell you you have no rights in your own home that makes sensen

Thank you for this exceptional interview. Melanie Phillips spoke with such frank, well informed, clarity and reason. The world needs to see much more of this. I really hope somehow her voice can become a regular sight on mainstream media, and reflected in the average well-meaning person's social media posts and discussions.
They should be asked , " Would you live under Sharia Laws ? The feminist what rights would ypu lose ? " Would you change your lifestyle for Palestinian culture?
As a foundation for good politics (more statesman like and less shortsighted and governed by power and greed) you need understand history and background and connection. So I would put strong emphasis on good history eduction before any politics. But basically I would agree with your point.
I live in New Zealand. I totally agree. Its astounding to me the narrative that is being spread about the Israel/hamas war by mainstream media. Melanie Phillips thank you for your considered and truthful comments.
Keep up the good work, Melanie. One day all these virtue signallers in their keffiyeh scarves up and down the country will understand the full degree of their cult like behaviour.

I've always loved Melanie Phillips and we need to see and hear from her more often. She seems to be able to convey meaning of complex issues in an easily assimilable way. Also, Jews were in what we now know as Israel 🇮🇱 about 2000 years before Mohammed, PBUH, lived. I so, so wish that people, especially the young, could educate themselves and reject the Hamas-Palestinian lies! Israel forever! 🇮🇱

Why is it that the media and international leaders not pressuring and calling for Hamas to surrender? If the media and international leaders are honest about stopping the blood shed and releasing hostages, why is there not one word spoken about pressuring Hamas to surrender by international leaders, not one word of Hamas - SURRENDER?
No of course not keep telling yourself that, you do realize your country is crawling with extremists that want nothing but global Sharia (Germany? France?).....if Israel fails wtf is going to stand between you and that?
@@billaitken2989 What a great suggestion are you ready to defend your family from Sharia? Because they are targeting the only remaining democracy in the Middle East ie the only country where you can practice whatever religion you want be it Islam, Christianity or Judaism without threat of persecution simply because of that fact, they do not want their youth or their people sullied by our pretty Western customs so they choose death over life. But by all means, fight them yourself, have fun. I am sure you can figure out a better way hey maybe you can invite them to your country and see if they integrate into your society, I am sure you will find your society benefits from the joys of extremism.
