English transcript
Look at any church or government building. The cornerstone is most often visible.
It's not usually buried in some dark,
subterranean corner of the foundation, never to be seen.
It is the stone from which the building springs upward. There can be no doubt,
however, that the building that became Western political thought,
and therefore the free world, was built on a foundation of Judaism.
Without millennia of Jewish faith and struggle, there is no Christianity.
The foundation is an often unseen and much smaller component of
a building structure,
but it is nonetheless completely indispensable.
After thousands of years of war and diaspora,
Israel represents the enduring presence of Jews in the Holy Land and the
protection of that biblical history.
Communists and Islamists understand the critical
nature of Jews and Judaism to human society. It's fundamental.
That's why they attack Judaism, not just Israel, and they want to see it erased
from the Middle East.
Israel is therefore not just a political jurisdiction.
It is a representation of Jewish political,
economic, and spiritual power that is related
to Christianity and related to Western society and the free world.
The jihadists and the Marxists both know
that a building unsupported by its foundation will crumble.
If Judaism is broken through the erasure of Jews from the Middle East,
which is the goal of the Palestinians and the radical Islamists,
then Christianity will also become more vulnerable.
Spreading generically anti-Israel messaging is anti-Semitic
because weakening Israel's right to existence will lead to not only
the killing of more Jews,
but the erosion of Judeo-Christian
principles upon which the Western world is based.
