Israel and Civilization: The Fate of the Jewish Nation and the Destiny of the West

Josh Hammer presents a compelling manifesto asserting that the survival and prosperity of Western civilization hinge on the security and flourishing of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. He argues that Israel is the frontline defender against Islamist terrorism and secular nihilism, and that the Jewish heritage is central to Western identity. Hammer calls for a grand alliance of Jews and Christians to counter modern antisemitism, multiculturalism, and relativism threatening the West. Drawing on recent events, including the October 7, 2023 attacks, he stresses the urgent need for strong US-Israel relations and a renewed commitment to Jewish self-determination as essential to preserving Western civilization's future.
