Melanie Phillips is about as objective a commentator as Osama Bin Laden.

I remember after the Gaza war she had a column in the Spectator in which she and her fans argued that
claims of Israeli war crimes had been "disproven" because the Israeli military had carried out its own investigation of itself and said it was all lies.

I wonder if she'd accept that in court from someone accused of a crime "I carried out my own investigation m'Lord and it turns out i never done nothing and you ain't got nothing on me."

What's even funnier is all the nutjob comments below comparing the Board of Deputies to kapos in the concentration camps. Yes, the Board of Jewish Deputies, that well-known body of Israel-hating dhimmis... You know, I could have sworn that they organised a pro-IDF rally during the Gaza bombardment, but I must have imagined it.
