Video Description
Join John and British journalist Melanie Phillips as they explore the escalating misuse of "genocide" in the Israel-Gaza conflict, exposing how propaganda and liberal denial have inverted reality. She argues that it is Israel who faces a genocidal threat from Islamists like Hamas, while anti-Semitism surges across a West blind to its own history. From torn hostage posters to distorted narratives, Phillips reveals a cultural crisis where truth is sacrificed for ideology, making this a critical wake-up call for understanding today’s Middle East tensions. In her new book The Builders Stone, Phillips traces the West’s democratic foundations to Judeo-Christian values, warning that their rejection fuels societal decay. She calls for Jews and Christians to unite against this erosion, critiquing multiculturalism and relativism as threats to civilisation. With insights on Trump’s Middle East moves—balancing hope and skepticism—this episode underscores the urgent need to reclaim Western identity, offering a renewed vision on how history and faith could yet save us. Melanie Phillips is a British public commentator with a distinguished career in journalism. She began her professional journey writing for The Guardian and New Statesman and currently contributes to The Times, The Jerusalem Post, and The Jewish Chronicle, focusing on political and social issues. Phillips has also appeared as a panelist on BBC Radio 4’s The Moral Maze and BBC One’s Question Time. In recognition of her journalistic contributions, she was awarded the Orwell Prize for Journalism in 1996 while writing for The Observer. Her other published works include the memoir Guardian Angel: My Story, My Britain. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 Introducing Melanie Philips 01:45 Melanie Phillips: The West’s Fall and Middle East Mess 12:00 Trump’s Gaza Dream vs. Hostage Nightmare 19:25 Genocide Twisted: Israel’s Truth Under Fire 29:45 Liberal Denial Meets Islamist Lies 39:01 The West’s Truth Collapse: A Totalitarian Turn 54:00 Religion’s Loss: A Meaningless West 1:00:05 Judeo-Christian Roots of Freedom 1:12:07 Anti-Semitism vs. Islamophobia: A False Equivalence 1:24:25 The Builder Stone: A Judeo-Christian Lifeline -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.
