Melanie Philliips:

A dangerous dividing line

Diaspora Jews cannot properly be defended if they do not or fail to comprehend the monstrosity of the scapegoating and demonization of Israel. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The anti-Jewish fever dream of ‘The New York Times’

We’re living through a throwback to murderous beliefs from before the age of reason. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The anti-Zionist contagion

Condemning Jew-hatred while simultaneously inciting it through incendiary distortions is the mind-twisting stock in trade of the anti-Israel left. Diaspora Jewish leaders should get up off their knees and start fighting it. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The Palestinian Arab laundromat

Shockingly, the West has framed antisemitism and anti-Zionism as conscience itself. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The dawn of a new world order

Israel is very concerned that it may be losing America. America should be no less concerned that it’s losing Israel. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

An unholy silence

The pope’s genuflection to Islam spells disaster for Western civilization. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The West’s fifth column

It’s been chilling to witness a media and political class-mainly on the left, but also on the right-from the start, willing America and Israel to lose this war in which Iran used proxy armies to impose its murderous brand of Islam throughout the world. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

Finish the job, Mr. President!

If the Iranian regime isn’t totally defanged but survives to recover and rearm, it will not only continue to menace the region. Such an outcome will also advertise that the leader of the free world is a paper tiger. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The ethnostate illusion

Jews should be aware of the cry of pain behind a resurrected antisemitic libel. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

An alliance of light against darkness

The war against Iran may defeat the axis of evil-and put America and Israel at the head of a new world order. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The crumbling wall of Hamas propaganda

It seems, though, that nothing can be allowed to challenge the narrative of heartless Israelis and wretched Palestinian Arabs. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Jewish victimization should not be dismissed as unbeatable. It must be fought harder and better. Op-ed.

Antisemitism: Melanie Phillips

Bret Stephens is wrong. Jews can’t just ignore antisemitism

We have a moral obligation to fight for our survival. We should be saying that Zionism is an inseparable part of Judaism, and so antizionism is an attempt to destroy not just Israel but Judaism itself

Melanie Philliips

The deepening madness against the Jews

Jew-haters think their time has come. The proper response to this war against the Jewsh people is not to deflect it, but to fight it better. Opinion

Melanie Phillips:

Qatar represents the Jeffrey Epstein of world politics. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

A Caesar in the White House

The old world order is dead because Western universalists destroyed it. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The high stakes in Iran

Ending the Islamic regime in Tehran would help reset the West’s moral compass. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

How international law has been weaponized against Israel

The rules-based global order has expired in disgrace. Opinion.

A shield for antisemites:

“Judaism Without Zionism"

Don’t be misled: it’s time for us to all put our heads above the parapet and be vocally proud of the world’s only Jewish state. Opinion.

American conservatism and ‘the Jewish Question’

The silence of mainstream conservatives over the antisemitism in their midst is lethal for the Republicans and America. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The global intifada

The time for platitudes is over. What’s needed is zero tolerance of Islamic extremism and anti-Zionism. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The humanitarian front against Israel

Mass murder has been branded as conscience to mess with people’s minds. Regarding UNRWA, a U.S. State Department official called it a “corrupt organization with a proven track record of aiding and abetting terrorists.” Not so the UK. Opinion.

The canonization of Marwan Barghouti

For “progressives,” including celebrities across the board, the Palestinian cause is their badge of conscience. Opinion.

The Islamists’ Trojan horse

The twin causes of Arab Palestinianism and human rights have destroyed the West’s moral compass. Opinion.

The muddled morass of ‘settler violence’

New York holds its breath

Appallingly, progressive Jews are supporting an unhinged Jew-hater because they define this stance as conscience. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

Galloping Islamization in Britain and America

Alarmingly, what U.S. President Donald Trump is helping Israel fight in the Middle East is rampant in his own backyard. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The war is far from over - Israel is only the beginning

The Oct. 7 attack fired a starting gun for what the Islamists believed was the final push to destroy not only Israel but the West itself. Opinion.

J'accuse

UK's political and cultural establishment has blood on its hands

This situation just isn’t normal. This hysteria which has infected so many people who are apparently quite normal, decent people. This hysteria about Israel based on absolute lies and incitement isn’t normal. It’s a sick pathology to which Starmer and his Labour government have been totally silent. Opinion.

The fantasy state of ‘Palestine’

It’s time for the United States and the Jewish world to start holding their supposed champions’ feet to the fire. Recognition of "Palestine" constitutes the British and French governments' rejection of civilization for barbarism. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

Open season against the Jews

The West’s attack on Israel can only be explained by its assault on its own core values and identity.

Melanie Phillips:

An alternative universe

Hamas’s war against civilization pivots on its war against the Western and Israeli mind. Hamas and its Iranian patron have understood that the West no longer has the intellectual wherewithal to recognize the lies in the anti-Israel psyop warfare. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips

Australia: One eye and four blindfolds

Australia’s sudden realism concerning a malign Iran cannot repair the harm it is doing to Israel and the West. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The Madonna of Gaza

The murderous lies about Israel’s behavior tap into the ancient and enduring Christian problem with the Jews. Opinion.

To the 400 blood-libelling rabbis:

Gaslighting is not a Jewish value

Hamas is now deploying its most powerful weapon of all—ignorant and credulous Western public opinion, including virtue-signalling Jewish clergy. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The worldwide frenzy against Israel

An obsession with the Jewish state has replaced rationality by using lethal propaganda. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The hypocrisy, double standards and malevolence are off the scale

The hypocrisy and double standards over the massacre of the Druze included those people who blamed Israel—the only country that went to their aid—for attacking Syria. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

Nazi chic and soft-soaping the Jew-baiters

The current frenzy over Israel can be seen as the last remaining front of the Second World War. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The need to acknowledge Muslim antisemitism

Britain may be an outlier for now, but America’s not far behind. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The new populism of the Judeocidal left

The radical candidate poised to become New York’s mayor embodies an alliance between reactionary Islamism and left- wing progressivism. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips

The return of the neocon canard

Melanie Phillips:

Iran's nightmare has come to pass

Melanie Phillips:

The West turns against Israel

The Jewish people need to relearn a painful and essential lesson—that they are responsible for their own protection. Opinion.

King Abdullah and the Islamists

As the Arab Muslim world moves forward, the West is going backwards. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The real lesson of the attack on Josh Shapiro

It’s not just the man suspected of setting fire to the Pennsylvania governor’s Harrisburg home who has lost his mind. The attack on Shapiro’s house is what “Globalize the intifada!” looks like. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The Gazan revolt

Hatred of Hamas doesn’t alter the endemic hatred of Israel and the Jews. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

The real cause of the antisemitism tsunami

Fighting this global evil requires Jews to get out in front. Opinion.

Melanie Phillips:

Israel's agonizing dilemma

Hamas left Israel no alternative but to resume the war and this second stage of the war is different from the first because Israel no longer has to fight America, too. Opinion.

Phyllis Chesler reviews Melanie Phillips:

How the West was won, and how it can be saved

As Israel is fighting for its very life, the entire world, in an Orwellian reversal of reality, believes that Israel is the aggressor and that the true victims are the members of an infidel-hating death-cult. Review.

Melanie Phillips:

The West is facing an Islamic holy war

Governments and the public alike persist in a state of lethal timidity and denial, but they must start connecting the dots. Opinion.
