Her weekly column, which currently appears in The Times of London, has been published over the years in the Guardian, Observer, Sunday Times and Daily Mail. She also writes for the Jewish Chronicle and Jewish News Syndicate, and speaks on public platforms throughout the English-speaking world.Her best-selling book Londonistan, about the British establishment’s capitulation to Islamist aggression, was published in 2006 by Encounter, New York. She followed this in 2010 with The World Turned Upside Down: the Global Battle over God, Truth and Power, with a foreword by David Mamet and also published by Encounter. An updated paperback edition of Guardian Angel, her personal and political memoir, was published in the US by Bombardier in January 2018.Melanie's book published last year, The Builder’s Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West—and Why Only They Can Save It, delves into how Western civilization is facing a critical moment. Foreign enemies sensing its weakness are circling. Internally, the West is being consumed by division, decadence, and demoralization. The October 7th attack on Israel presented it with a choice between civilization and barbarism—a challenge the West has failed. But this damaged society is far from lost if it takes advice from an unexpected source. Western culture is based upon Christianity, whose own foundations in turn lie in Judaism. The unique survival of the Jewish People offers both the West and its struggling Christian church, as well as secular people who shun religion, priceless lessons in resilience that they must learn if their culture is to survive. https://www.amazon.com/Builders-Stone-Christians-Built-West/dp/B0DT15VDW6Her newest book, Fighting the Hate: A Handbook for Jews Under Siege is being published this March.

Led by George Adams, these families made a 42-day journey overseas and landed where the Etzel Museum stands today, on the beach between Tel Aviv and Yafo. They brought with them the wood and household materials to recreate their homes here built in the New England style. When these American pioneers were granted permission from the Ottoman authorities, they ultimatley settled in what has come to be called “The American Colony.”The Drisco is a heritage-landmark, 5-star superior hotel, established in 1866, and a proud member of Relais & Châteaux. This boutique gem is located in the center of the picturesque and pastoral American colony, in a quiet and pleasant environment surrounded by beautiful historical houses, near Neve Tzedek, Noga & the Yafo Flea Market. With an adults-only policy and stunning interiors, the Drisco creates the pefect Salon environment to savor their in-house Kosher Israeli wine, while engaging with thought leaders in Israel today. thedrisco.comFormer Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren founded the Israel Advocacy Group to be an independent, credible voice for Israel on the world stage. Amb.
