Melanie Phillips gives an explanation of Western liberalism and progressivism in the clip. The liberal progressive West has fallen into this inversion of genocide which is “ridiculous and evil”. Don’t just consider her perspective in terms of Israel, does her viewpoint apply to other issues in politics and society?

Phillips is a Polish Jew who takes on the horrors of Israel-Hamas. See what you think, and if this applies to other issues besides Israel.
Probably the best explanation of Western liberalism and progressivism you’ll ever watch and listen to

The liberal mind is a mind set on the flesh and the flesh in and of itself is evil regardless of one’s faith. That’s why the liberal will accuse others of the exactly what they themselves are guilty of. The flesh is corrupt, walk by the Spirit.
Anyone that cannot see the obvious, that Israel participated in 10/7, cannot offer anything useful. Even General Flynn has now admitted 10/7 had Israeli involvement. I trust Flynn over any journalist. That nullifies any point Phillips attempted to make. This attempt to frame the conservative versus liberal debate in terms of Israel versus Hamas is irrational. We have many bigger… Read more »
