On the Other Side from Civilization
[Spectator-UK] Melanie Phillips - Israel was never the Palestinians' "homeland." It was never taken from them "by force." On the contrary, they tried to take the Jews' homeland from them by force - and are still trying. The issue of Israel sits at the very apex of the fight to defend civilization. Those who wish to destroy Western civilization need to destroy the Jews, whose moral precepts formed its foundation stones. The deranged hatred of the Jews lies at the core of the Islamists' hatred of America, the "infidel" West and modernity, and is the reason why they wish to destroy Israel. Unless people in the West understand that Israel's fight is their own fight, they will be on the wrong side of the war to defend not just the West but civilization in general.
