"I live in Israel but I will always be British", I think we can all draw conclusions from that fact.
Perhaps it’s time that individuals need to choose ONE passport- that would be an interesting dilemma
Exactly, I wonder what illegal settlement she's occupying whilst renting her home in the UK.
I live in Spain, but will always be British so what's the problem
@@scot6120There is no problem being juu and living anywhere in the world. The problem is when you’re in denial for 75 years backing an apartheid regime and not seeing the reality for what it is
@@scot6120Technically you might be British but if you are not paying tax here you are a noncontributor.
I thought she was British until she tried so hard to claim she was British.
Now I am convinced she doesn't consider herself to be British.
she cant be british
genocide is just not cricket
@@kwanchan6745 Actually if you know any history, it is.
@@jimbob3030 Explain how cricket is genocide.
@@kwanchan6745Yep, that's what they say in Ireland and Bengal 😂
True: she' claimed recently on YT interview that she feels "karmically safer" in Israel, she has made that very clear.
Yet she bangs on about patriotism....
Hypocrite.
What is so scary about this woman is that she presents as a reasonable, well spoken intelligent person. The ideology of fascism is desgusting, ruthless and unscupulous.
Ty these ppl don’t realize the fascist agenda has already begun
Yes we all are discovering that so called Liberal people can be the most racist type.
so true.
That's how the Israel propaganda machine works. they present a face that seems reasonable and relatable to the audiences they want to influence.
@antonydavis2764
You are the one not undrestanding...
Well done melanie i totally agree with you on gaza and climate change,
So thankful for social media that the world is finally seeing through their 75 years of lies!
Oh well said I totally agree.
Yes thank God. I will never will believe any of these people anymore. All the conspiracy theories seems to be too real now
@@RvtQe it's unbelievable aint it. it's just surreal the way they lie they just constantly lie over and over again it's so weird
You can live on the high of all the "likes" that you get, but it wouldn't change the fact that you are objectively wrong.
This is the level of delusion SS surviving officers often displayed on the holocaust. They protect themselves first to the point of outrageous denial
The parallels are frightening and dishearten me

The sad thing is, the people would give her food even though they are starving because that is arab and muslim hospitality.
😂😂😂👊🏾
No thanks, my relatives there say you guys can keep her all to yourselves 🎉❤
interesting that you are unable to tolerate individuals with different opinions
Oh my days, Philips is not only grandiose and delusional, she is a danger.
Donald Trump really promoted this completely shameless reversal of the truth in fictional narratives on the altar of uninterrupted seas of money and power for the super rich.
True... she doesn't even blink her eyes when she talk....
Can we just call her delusional calling her grandiose seems to elevate her stature. Now trump that's one grandiose guy 👍🏿💯🇬🇧🇯🇲
Unfortunately for you, everything she said is true. Hamas steals the food and sells it at a prohibitive price.
Why is she given a platform? I have seen her on QT many times.
How absolutely disgusting. We're literally seeing the reality of the situation in Gaza in real time, and she just sat there and lied through her teeth.
wel,well.but just reflect,what shiiiit The BBC is, to employ such a liar and allow it to speak to millions of viewers
She still lives in the 50s where there was no actual journalism, what did you expect?
This shameless liar is Netanyahu's propaganda minister. The Goebels of Golders Green.
Cry baby cry
Should have not started, now want ceasefire, got over it.
Dignified Stephen Flynn,all credit to him ,he behaves courteously in the face of her abject hate and dishonesty.Humanity has passed her by
Beautifully put. Thank you 🙏
She's not the only one in denial, the fact that UK still sells Weapons to Isr-l shows that all the government is in denial and complicity.
No, not at all. The government and the majority of the population are able to determine that a democratic basic-human-rights observing country (Israel) needs to be supported against gay-murdering, female subordinating theocratic dictators (Hamas).
@@blackmore4 Human rights observing!!! I invite you to read the ICJ ruling about the subject. You can read in there how the Palestinians are called "animals", " Amaleks" and how Isr--eli leadership is calling for their extermination.
@@blackmore4 human rights observing?? are you serious? I invite you to read the ICJ ruling about the subject! more than 200 international ONG denounced the starvation of Gaza and asked for an immediate ceasefire. without forgetting that all the world (except USA) called for an immediate ceasefire.
@blackmore4 well said. I completely agree with you.
Lie after lie from this despicable person. The audience reaction tells you all you need to know about her lies.
What do the audience know?, they don't live in Israel and she does. She obviously has access to much more info than any Brits, Israel for sure know what's going on on the ground much more than the brits
Yeah, like the audience is better informed!
@kronkite1530 No, the audience has seen too many lies being told by her and IDF, debunked over and over again.
@@kronkite1530 I would say so.
So you’re saying that the aid is getting through? Looks like you and Phillips are the only ones to believe this.
This lady has been in debates arguing that anti Zionism is anti semitism
Mehdi Hasan and Ilan Pappe won the debate quite comfortably
And she's right
She has no idea what antisemitism is if she resorts to that old out of date argument.
@@marielouisenilsson3766 Why? do try and explain .
because most of the time it is.
Scary to hear a pathological murderer talk with such coldness. She needs to be locked up
Its amazing. You have 30 upvotes on that comment as well... Its astonishing really. I might just call my neighbour a murderer and see what happens.
@@Danny-is5if Wow you have issues there, it irked so much that you had to reply with a derogatory comment.
@@jackwilliam2965 Derogatory? Lol. Actually Jack I was being facetious. Not sure how you didn't see that, though. Yet, you still didn't address my statement.

Its all yours, champ.
Thanks Michael, I won't be taking ANYTHING Melanie Philips says at face value. You just did us all a service by revealing her public deceptions.
What a sick, despicable, repugnant person! Glad the host pushed back - tells you how catastrophic the situation in Gaza is.
Thank you Michael and David! All the best.
Agree
Well put !@@GOLDESCAFLOWNE
Shame she didn't interrupt her lies to tell her the facts... intentionally done, so that the sheeple can just listen to her fiction and ignore anything else said afterwards.
Question Time should have time called on it - propagandists!!!!
The audience too. She got a few isolated claps and cheers, but most of the people had WTF looks on their faces. They knew she was lying.
Why are you calling it a person?
The audience saw straight through Phillips’ propaganda and lies
Unfortunately for you, everything she said is true. Hamas steals the food and sells it at a prohibitive price.
Not the first time a Question Time audience has either. On the occasion I'm thinking of she was roundly jeered with disgust.
That reaction to one person clapping was priceless.
to be fair its not her lies, she's just repeating Hasbara talking points
@@giftedgift9418 and what are these Hasbara talking points?
She just destroyed her own credibility & reputation, though she's now got a new reputation for being a burgiouse liar, and a hypocrite.
Didn’t she used to be on the left before she discovered Zionism. Indoctrination really works obviously.
She didn't have much of a reputation left to destroy.
@@geoffpoole483 surprised she's even an mp
And a feckin' know-it-all. Beware!
@@zhongguojiayou2675 She's not an MP. Never has been. Used to write for the Guardian until the mid-nineties when she re-invented herself and now she gets off on (and gets paid for) lies and mischaracterisation.
Melanie is such an exceptional human being. She sees and knows things none of us can comprehend.
Yeah, she's like David Icke.
@@billaitken2989nothing like David icke he has a brain she doesn’t and thinks we don’t 😂
This lady is 100% correct.
Don't know why the BBC still give space for Phillips.
She has an impressive track record of being plain wrong about stuff.
because she gets to be the Punch to any Judys on the panel.
She serves the purpose of exposing the violent sickness afflicting the delusional entity in Occupied Palestine.
That sums up the quality or complete lack of it on the BBC! How many fascists can they fit in everyday!
I'd hope with fingers crossed it's because they want anyone on the fence to realise how anyone representing Israel is full of it. Get the people with ridiculous points in the past to really push that view.

like the Scottish MP
This is worse than holocaust denial - she is not acting as a denier of genocide - but an active supporter of it, since as Michael says, her comments could cause more children to starve. She should be on trial in The Hague.
She said in that 7 minute ramble on BBC QT that Hamas were trying to carry out a second Holocaust!
Stephen Flynn at the beginning taking a big gulp of water and thinking here comes the apologist bullshit which is just as sickening as the crimes themselves.
Would you prefer to live in Israel or Gaza?
She denies there is no famine in Gaza ? Well, then I deny that Melanie Philips is alive.
She denies THERE IS FAMINE.

Well if Hamas stopped stealing the aid there wouldn`t be starvation. Hamas have been stealing this aid for DECADES.
Dangerous levels of Gaslighting. Disturbed woman.
melanie is speaking the truth, and one truth can puncture a million lies.
Could it be that you're the one that can't see through the lies? Of course not, you're looking out, not in.
I was in the audience- we were so shocked by her outrageous comments towards Flynn. We kept disagreeing with everything she said and she kept saying I don't know why you're laughing/sniggering
She must have some supporters as you can hear clapping from few and it quickly goes and laughter ensures.
I too was totally shocked at the gall and audacity for her to bark at the audience like that. Absolutely Outrageous! I commend you for managing to control yourself. I'd have found it extremely difficult. I'm surprised my TV survived to be frank. insufferably odious hunt that she is.
if you disagree with her you are not living in the real world.

keep telling yourself that. Fact is against you @@fivish
If I start telling everyone that grass is purple and the sky is made of Christmas baubles, will the BBC give me a platform?
Yes !
This woman is outwardly calm and reasonable. IF she believes what she is saying she's DEMENTED.
The whole Israel has dementia???
These genocide deniers make me feel physically sick. She is going to claim that it was Hamas that carried out the "flour massacre" ?
I'm British but I live in Israel.....and I occupied someone else's house ....
Did anyone tell her that we can see 👀 what's happening in Gaza ?????😮😮😮😮😮
Repeating the lies again, and again.
You have no idea what's going on in Gaza. You just blindly accept whatever Hamas says is going on in Gaza.
I can see that in Gaza, every last bit of the tragedy unfolding is due to Hamas. The fact that Hamas openly admit to being a gay murdering female subordinating theocratic dictatorship should've been more of a clue.
Melanie Phillips needs a mental health act assessment. I would be extremely concerned with her presentation here. I have never heard such confabulation and delusional ideation in the face of facts.
Confabulation, not a common term but one that is almost certainly the most accurate observation across all the comments. I shall retain the term in my head for future use.
Well said!
this is very common in israel .. they refuse to accept their gov lies to them
It’s been used a few times so don’t get too excited.
I'm glad your not my mental health nurse.
What a wicked horrible crone
...How dare you belittle crones Sir!
How dare you insult wicked people by comparing them to her!
100% ON POINT 👊🏾
why is SHE not on Goves EXTREMIST list...she's a threat to the UK
It’s like saying that the Jews in the concentration camps were well fed, they just didn’t like German dishes 😃
I'm so close to tears all the time when I think of what's happening .We can see it all , right in front of our eyes , and yet we are still unable to stop the horror and some of us are able to completely deny what is right in front of us . Hopeless !!!
It seems so utterly insane that we are just carrying on with our lives as if this isn’t happening
Yes, I feel the same when I think of 10/7. These barbaric monsters These butchers. Unbelievable in 2023

Izr4eli illegal setlers are on picnincs at the borders and at the same time blocking hundred and hundreds of aid truls and compelling them to turn back
We now know that Israel block aid on a Saturday, because of the Sabbath. Before this barbarism, they could check 500 vehicles per day now we’re lucky if we get 150 per week!
Long, long ago, John Pilger exposed the horrors that were being inflicted upon people by Israeli soldiers.
And they were getting away with it then.
Stocked supermarkets in Gaza?
Is there a supermarket that hasn't been destroyed and is still open for business?
I am willing to beleive that that one supermarket that is fully stocked is up and running... how is that one supermarket suppose to services 2.2 million people? Let's assume it can (mega warehouse or something), how is it suppose to service people when north is cut from the south, and roads are deatoryed. Like for real make it make sense! Isn't there any Z which are not hinged? I am really looking hard to have a balanced view and know the other side of this. However, I am yet to find any Z that argues with logic and not lies.

All while she had the gall and audacity to bark at them for rejecting her bs lies and reacting in kind! I'd have found it hard not to bite back there and then tbh.
I have the feeling that in decades to come persons like her will deny this Gaza war ever took place, rather like Holocaust deniers.
Melanie Phillips managed to lie with such authority and prejudice it was scary. Never mind the famine created by Israel she was not challenged with the unsubstantiated claims about UNRWA employees when there still no evidence other than the false confessions gained from torture.
she's a very professional liar
The numbers of UNWRA employees has jumped from the 11 to dozens according to her. What a despicable hunt.
@@thodystackI think she said thousands. Like, they are all Hamas.
Agree. Fiona should have pulled her up on that - for the sake of the audience. Any debate chairman should call out clear lies so the debate can focus on true areas of disagreement.
She is so odious it makes me physically cringe. I'm surprised my TV survived her poisonous lies and I've never been so outraged at QT. Unbearable, intolerable and down right dangerous.
She has done extremely well because she accomplished what she had set out to do...succeeded in being given an international platform to articulate rubbish....well done to the media for feeding this rubbish
Showing sick children is always an emotional thing, but explaining a war is another ! Hamas is responsible for every misfortune of the "innocent civilians" of Gaza.
Israeli government must have paid her to say that
This is a dumb statement, we have an almost endless supply of people that require no payment to spread these views. If you're going to make such a claim, you should have evidence to back you up.
@@darksaint0124there are people that Israeli government pay from politicians to stars and so on. But in the Melanie Phillips case it is ideological. She is so obsessed to have the whole land for Israeli that Palestinians are a nuisance to annihilate.

Well, there is no doubt that right wing groups do get funding. Just as corporate consultants hop between being government advisers and back to the corporations and political strategies get devised in the private members clubs.
@@darksaint0124O come on, just recently a pro Israel grope in the US offered (or more a accurately were caught) $40,000,000 to a candidate to take on a politician that was critical of Israels behaviour in Gaza, so if they can pay that massive amount to one person what money they might be spreading in other areas or to other people, as the say "money talks" or it gets people to talk aggressively on your behalf!

Totally disagree with this woman but I suppose having people with more extreme views / opinions on one side or the other makes for a more watchable show. Have seen these shows when everyone is centre ground agreeing with one another and they are very boring. Though yes in this instance ...at this point there shouldn't even be debate about the war should there it just needs to stop seems quite ridiculous to be debating it and taking the moral high ground or moral low ground when people are suffering so badly
Why has the bbc given this hate preacher a spot?
cos the bbc is an outsource of lies

No that's what you do when confronted with the reality of Hamas's gay murdering, female subordinating theocratic authoritarianism.
I've seen comments criticising the BBC for inviting her. I disagree; as inhuman and vile as her stance is, she represents probably what most of those in Israel are thinking - we need to know this.
Agreed. We have to know what the liars and disingenuous hour is are thinking- as with any censorship- but if contextualized, their lies become more obvious. Unfortunately many media hosts don’t do this
Also the audience were laughing at her. Hopefully all she did was make a fool of herself.
Just watched Lex podcast with Finkelstein, Rabbani, Destiny, and an Israeli historian by the name of Morris. There I learnt that Pro-Israel don’t care about international law
I agree in principle, but there’s no point inviting them on if they’re not going to held to account. Too often these people aren’t even held to basic standards of evidencing and truthfulness, they’re just allowed to spew their violent rubbish without any challenge. Meanwhile other intelligent and well-researched individuals are often interrogated so much they are barely allowed to finish their sentences, they are constantly interrupted and unable to get a word in edgewise.
This kind of thing only works if the mediator is genuinely unbiased, neutral and capable of properly interviewing all parties equally.
As an all too frequent guest on BBC Radio Four's "The Moral Maze" Melanie Phillips has often demonstrated she has little relationship to morality or the truth.
Well said
She got lost in that maze right at the start, and will never find her way out
I used to listen a lot and she could always be depended on for a homophobic diatribe and a false narrative. Hate filled and misleading even back then, hateful now.
@@seandoherty925 With figures like Phillips and Scruton as regular stalwarts, not to mention the Burke himself presiding, the show often had me wondering who's "moral maze" are we talking about here anyway?
Rarely anyone in my circle that's for sure.
It's good to hear voices like Ash Sarkar and one or two others from time to time but it's often felt a bit like reluctant inclusion to poke pedantic holes rather than genuine consideration outside of the establishment narrative.

The very thought of harming a child is abhorrent to any compassionate soul, yet the actions of the IDF paint a picture of sadism and a twisted enjoyment in inflicting pain. They not only perpetrate violence but revel in the torment, even towards innocent children already suffering from starvation. Such cruelty defies all notions of humanity and cries out for justice to be served swiftly and decisively.

She's 100% correct though. The fact is aide trucks. full of food are lined up at Gaza's border crossing points. in their 100's. if not 1'000s. The truck drivers. however refuse to drive the food stuffs into a war zone where their personal safety. & the safety of their priceless vehicles are in clear, & present danger, You've heard of the massacres surrounding truck convoys entering Gaza ,,,, haven't you? Hamas fighters highjack aide trucks as soon as they enter Rafah, where NO IDF troops are present. I've seen the trucks lined up for miles. waiting for drivers, & safety guarantees from Hamas, haven't you? If not ,,,,, you must NOT want to know the truth, You can Google the videos, articles, & photos yourselves, right?
My cat can, & he's really not that smart as far as most cats go, Those "mothers", & doctors sure hadn't missed any meals recently, had they? Odd ,,,,, no?
@@kellyowens1868 there is indeed a lot of general hinkiness in that region.
When we were trying to deliver aid to Kosovo, same thing, not hijacked, but people insisting they’d take ‘care of it from here…’
Later they’d sell it to anyone with money, or divert it.
It happens everywhere and every time.
I have zero trust left in charities. Especially that region, but at least in the case of Gaza we can choose to contribute or not.
Melanie Phillips has always spoken and written with an utter conviction based on the flimsiest of evidence. All she needs is something that appears to prove her pre-existing prejudices.
When did _you_ become prejudiced against basic-human rights supporting democracy. Or... when did you become prejudiced against civilisation?
The big question I have is why do the bbc give this person so much time on their channels.
Please BBC, never invite that lying woman on BBC Question Time again. Being self assured and talking down to the UK public is insulting for us. We are pretty sick of being made fools of.
In 40 years of following BBC QT I have never been more disgusted. The host challenged Philips but not hard enough!
Totally agree as if they are scared of her! Perhaps fearful of losing their jobs!
maybe this woman is a reason why for many years ewes were requested to leave the flocks
If it wasn't for social media, people like her would be able to pull the wool over our eyes.
Exactly. Reels and reels of evidence keep gathering at the ICJ
Immoral people!
All except Melanie, of course.
Correct.
But it’s the base of Islam .
You can’t change that.
But the fact that non-Muslim are so important is crazy .
Melanie Philips knows what she is talking about.
She is a regular on most BBC platforms for several years and lies all the time , the difference this time is that most people spotted the lie as it is so obvious.
For someone with such a “prestigious” career in journalism, the fact she quoted UA-cam as her source clearly shows how little fact checking/due diligence she does.
Psychopathic coldness spinechilling, 'why are you laughing, why are you laughing,' the way she uttered those words!!!!! Something about that absolutely terrifying
Your rejection of western democracy in favour of gay-killing, woman-subordinating theocratic dictatorship is _"spine-chilling, psychopathic coldness"_ defined.
What a horrible little person. I hope most people can see through her nonsense.
This is Melanie in a nutshell:
"the taunt of Islamophobia is used to silence any criticism of the Islamic world, including Islamic extremism" and "facilitates" antisemitism.
Sounds very familiar I.e. the weaponisation of antisemitism to silence legitimate criticism.
the only person that says "the king is naked" yet the brainwashed croud goes 'boo'....
Literally only one person clapped for her when she said Hamas was stealing the food.
That person is probably a serial killer.
that would be a token Jew living in Hamspstead....
