Israel, Front Line Of The West?

Suddenly, Israel is the great cause of "conservatives", despite having been created by the ultimate globalist institution (not that she has paid any attention to it since, but there we are), created in surrender to ultra-vicious anti-British terrorism of the Marxist variety, and built up by bringing in people from all over the place to supplant those who had lived there from everlasting.

Far from Israel's being the West's outpost in the Middle East, over half her population is either Arab in the ordinary sense, or Sephardic, or all sorts of other decidedly non-Western things. Neither of her two official languages is European. She certainly does not have a Christian majority population, or a culture defined by Christianity so that, for example, everyone in the cultural mainstream keeps Christmas and Easter whether or not they believe in God.

The balance of power in her Parliament is routinely held by ultra-Orthodox parties. If they, or Caliphate parties, or Hindutva parties, or Khalistan parties ever held the balance of power at Westminster, then Britain would have ceased to be a Western country. That they are the power brokers in the Knesset gives yet another lie to Israel's claim to be a Western country.

Better than Hamas? Of course. (Although Syria and Iran are a different matter - Jews are probably safer in Damascus, and certainly safer in Tehran, than they are in Sderot.)

Entitled to defend herself? Yes. Within the law and the basic standards of morality (Judaism has traditionally been good on how those latter are universally accessible), of course.

But the West's front line, and our especial concern? Not in the least.
