Melanie Phillips: 'How Conservatism’s Chickens Came Home to Roost in Gaza'
Political Observer comments.
Melanie Phillips opens her diatribe with these markers, this hysterical collection of ‘charges’ against a people subject to 75 years of subjugation, oppression, dispossession, incarceration, kidnap, murder. And in the present to Geocide and Famine, charges that Phillips vehemently denies, based on denial, alone!
The Enemy of Civilization
The malign malignant attack
Genocide of the Jews
The War against The West
War against Israel
The War against Civilization
Phillips is, along with other Jews, are given the role of Victim, as in the six charges above! Phillips also attacks an amorphous, ill defined ‘Left’, the Tories and some of the attendees at the Conference she is addressing. A 25 minute speech consisting of repetitions, reframed as need be, to fit the evolving rhetorical imperatives of propaganda!
