Its fair for them to run their motor-mouths off against everyone else but no-one should criticise them. That said, I still enjoy Melanie and I think Anne Bayefsky does a remarkable job. Glick on the other hand - I think I prefer Fisk to her vitriolic nonesense. It’s interesting reading the response from the trio who have taken such exception to the criticism.

She has become a grotesque mirror-image of the ANSWER left.

I also stopped reading Glick a while back since she is a one note parrot who can never see anything positive in any of the admittedly mostly dismal news about the Arab Israeli conflict. Melanie Phillips is a puzzle to me. I like her spirited defense of Israel but am often taken aback by the sarcastic vitriol she dishes out to other supporters of Israel with whom she disagrees. I still look at her comments once in a while but read them with a double grain of salt. “Yet all these accusations were leveled by the discordant trio of Melanie Phillips (she’s the one who came out with the unforgettably looney reference to “psychopathology”), Caroline Glick and Anne Bayefsky.”
