Melanie Phillips on #TrevorPhillips
"He [Polanski] is repeating the canard that Israel is committing genocide"
🙄
She has form for this. On programs like The Moral Maze and various podcasts (e.g., with John Anderson in 2025), she has asserted that Israel’s military actions are a lawful defence against a genocidal threat.
In her 2026 Book: In Fighting the Hate: A Handbook for Jews Under Siege, she refutes what she calls the "genocide myth" and defends Israel's moral conduct in urban warfare
