The Argument That Judaism and Israel Underpin Western Society

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.
