Perhaps, recalling William Randolph Hearst, The Guardian‘s editors may have suggested to Bunglawala “You furnish the complaint and the cardboard organization and we’ll furnish the war.”
In any event, contrary to The Guardian‘s assertion, neither Phillips nor The Spectator (her paper) are currently under investigation by the PCC. There is likewise no indication the police have acted on the complaint, although given the UK’s lattice-work of hate-speech regulations this one is more worrisome.
Perhaps the PCC and/or the police might decide their time would be more profitably spent investigating sites like Inayat’s Corner, in which the eponymous Inayet (small world, how many people can there be with that same first name?) regales us with soothing, oil-on-troubled-waters pronouncements such as these:
(3/11) The Israel lobby views any progress made by UK Muslims in this country’s political life as being against their interests. The only permissible Muslims are those who are prepared to remain silent about the crimes perpetrated by the apartheid state of Israel.
(2/11) Robert Halfon [a British MP] – you are a total and utter coward, much like the members of the murderous Israeli Defence Forces. Whereas the IDF like to hide inside their tanks while firing shells at little children, you hide inside the House of Commons while making your libellous comments.
(10/10) David Cameron spoke out against any calls to punish Israel for its continuing occupation of Palestinian lands, its illegal Jewish settlements, its cruel and barbaric treatment of the besieged and repeatedly bombed people of Gaza and its known stockpile of nuclear weapons.

Nope, you’re right. Not a chance. As Melanie Phillips, Caroline Glick and many others continue to make abundantly clear, the elites and their house organs have all read and memorized the same catechism: Palestinians good, Islam good — Israelis bad. Bunglawala and his squalid little website are perfectly safe.
Glick puts it somewhat more bluntly:
As far as the opinion makers of Europe and much of America are concerned, the Yoavs and Hadases and Elads of Israel have no right to live if they live in “a settlement.”
So too, they believe that Palestinians have a right to murder Israelis who serve in the IDF and who believe that Jews should be able to live freely wherever we want because this land belongs to us.
Until these genteel Jew haters learn to think otherwise, Israel should neither seek nor care if they condemn this or any other act of Palestinian genocide. We shouldn’t care about them at all.
Melanie Phillips is one of a growing number of authors and journalists whose work is kryptonite to Islamofascists and their apologists. Unhappily she resides in a country somewhat further down the path than the United States in the legalized suppression of free speech through open-ended and deliberately vague “hate speech” legislation. (That is not to say we aren’t doing our level best to catch up, but, as Cass Sunstein would doubtless attest to, nudging takes time.)
Time will tell if those instruments are brought to bear against Phillips. However it breaks, we owe her our support.
To say nothing of those children who died with their fists clenched.
