melaniephillips.substack.com… Do any politicians have the statesmanship to acknowledge the breadth and depth of the civilisational rot that lies behind the country’s economic, cultural and political woes? Or will they continue to stumble in their manifold delusions along the ever-more vertiginous path of British decline, relying on paying “Danegeld” to the various barbarians who have now crested the horizon and are thundering towards them?

melaniephillips.substack.com… The scene is now set for a titanic struggle on both sides of the American political divide. In the Democratic Party, centrists will struggle with anti-West, anti-Israel Muslims and leftists. In the Republican Party, conservatives will struggle with radical Jew-haters, white supremacists and conspiracy nuts. The momentum is with the hard-left, the Jew-haters and the Islamists because the centrists on both sides of the aisle lack a moral and intellectual spine.

Such malice and ignorance as displayed in this comment really are a bottomless sewer. This picture shows an edition of BBC Question Time in 2013 when I took on the entire panel and a baying audience by speaking against the danger presented by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

All those who cast Israel as the enemy of humanity are themselves enemies of humanity. Defenders of civilisation must now take the gloves off, end the mind-twisting and start calling them out in public for what they really are.

melaniephillips.substack.com… Yet again, Britain has advertised the fact that it’s a world leader in promoting cultural suicide. This week, Andy Burnham’s Labour government displayed its contempt for Britain’s identity while tendentiously trashing its history. While Burnham defamed his country by misleadingly singling it out as historically culpable for slavery, his government was adding to the vast demographic changes with which mass immigration is destroying Britain’s historic culture.

"Democracy" is terrorism when it's promoted by parties who declare openly they are using it solely to extinguish democracy and destroy the State of Israel and who support the terrorist murder of Jews. Your solution would be another Final Solution.

These Arab political parties don't "want a say" in the governanance of Israel. They are certainly not committed to democracy. They are Islamists committed to the extinction of democracy, the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews, not to mention the conquest of the West. Wake up

They aren't demonstrating their support for Arab Jewish partnership. If only! They're demanding that Arab political parties committed to the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews, not to mention the conquest of the West, be included in Israel's government. Wake up.

timesofisrael.com/some-2000-… The post-Zionist omnicause: first, judicial reform; next, the hostages; now, the inclusion in Israel's government of Israeli Arab genocidaires. All weaponised by the same leftwing Israeli narcissists who neither know nor care about the significance of Israel's identity as the historic Jewish homeland and the need to defend it against extermination.

melaniephillips.substack.com… Whether motivated by hatred of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir or corrupt funding by Qatar, the huge mobilisation of Israeli Arabs at this election was the democratic version of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” of October 7. In both Israel and the West, public bamboozlement is so great that deliriously energised Islamists believe they’re now within sight of victory over both. To prevent that, governments in Israel, Britain and America need to wake up to the jihadi threat they are facing.

It’s resulted instead in instability, unaccountability and political paralysis. And for many today, it’s turned voting into a nail-biting leap into the dark. Such a chaotic electoral system would be bad for any country. For one at such a critical juncture in a war against genocidal foes, it seems akin to lunacy.

In my JNS column today, melaniephillips.substack.com… I write about Brad Lander's stunt "harvesting olives" in the West Bank: "If anyone thinks this group wasn’t there to foment trouble for the Israelis, I’ve got a bridge to sell you." It seems that's something of an understatement.
