Jewish Palestine is not a “Western nation,” Andrea. That’s a myth that the Jewish Lobby began peddling only recently so as to convince the West that Jewish Palestine is our obligation to protect. It’s absurd. I’ll explain: Western Civilization shares the following characteristics that Jewish Palestine does not… Greek intellectual inheritance? Nope. Roman legal inheritance? Nope. Christian religious inheritance? Nope. European historical continuity? Nope. DISTINCT civil and religious systems? Nope. Constitutional government? Nope. Shared artistic and cultural experience? Nope. Jewish Palestine exists because all of these were rejected by Jews, and they wanted out of Western Civilization. They could not get along with Western Civilization, remember? Jewish Palestine is not an outpost of Western Civilization, but a departure from it. They had a chance to be a colony of the West, but they invented modern terror and blew up the British. It had its chance. Jewish Palestine exists because early Zionists like Theodor Herzl convinced the West that Jews would not, or could not, assimilate to Western Civilization. That was the whole pitch. European history testified on their behalf. Israel only exists because they wanted **to leave** Western civilization. The West is not a club whose membership cards arrive with American weapons shipments. It is a historical civilization shaped by Greece and Rome, Christianity, and centuries of European political and cultural development. “Washington funds it” is not a competing definition. Israel is a Jewish ethnostate and its Basic Law explicitly denies it exists to serve anyone but its Jewish citizens. Apartheid written into your law is not “Western,” Andrea. Your civil law is run by Jewish Temu-Sharia, aka Halakha, in a two-tiered legal system run by Rabbis. It’s identical to Iran’s civil system. Theirs is run by Islamic clerics, yours is run by Rabbis. Neither is “Western,” Andrea. Those terrorists, who became your first PMs, were literal communists and national socialists, who created a nation with the government ownership of Industry. That’s not “Western,” Andrea. Israel is the only “Democracy” on earth without a Constitution. It promised the West to adopt one in their Declaration of Independence, so the West would accept it. It lied, Andrea. Israel does not come from the stock of the Magna Carta, English Common Law, or the Bill of Rights. Israeli Law has more leftovers from the Ottomans that isn’t anything resembling Western jurisprudence, Andrea. Israel BANS ethnic Jews who are Christians from migrating or becoming Citizens under right of return. Banning Christians is not “Western,” Andrea. Israel doesn’t participate in Western agreements that all civilized nations sign, like the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, or The Hague and Geneva amendments. Israel has never sent soldiers to assist in a single Western conflict. Israel is at odds with half of Europe, with a dozen nations suing you over human rights violations or Israel’s violations of international laws that Western nations all follow. The only thing Western about Jewish Palestine is the uranium you stole from the U.S. and the wanted posters of your founders in the U.K. Israel HATES the West. That’s why Jews drink to our damnation between the third and fourth cup of Passover. That’s why you use “the broom of Israel” (YOUR term) to flood the West with Islamic refugees and why Jewish groups are the ones paying for refugee resettlement. Israel hates the West. The West hates Israel back, except for our (1) war lobby and (2) evangelical Dispensationalists, mostly in the American Bible Belt. Israel could be washed into the sea tomorrow, and Western Civilization would not have lost a cubic inch. Meanwhile, glad you’re “anti-Marxist.” But that’s pretty danged antisemitic of you.
