For 3,500 years, a cultural war has raged between those who uphold Judeo-Christian values and those who seek to undermine them. Today, that war is more evident than ever. On one side stand the values given to humanity at Mount Sinai--freedom, individual rights, the sanctity of private property and a God-centered morality that rejects tyranny.
On the other side are the forces of oppression--communism, marxism, Islamism, socialism, wokeism and other "isms" that seek to eradicate faith and submission to a higher power in favor of centralized control.
The reason these disparate ideologies--some of which are seemingly in direct opposition to each other--can work together is because they recognize a common enemy: Judeo-Christian values. That is why you see radical Islamists aligning with woke activists, why Communist China funds radical leftist movements in the West and why Iran collaborates with Marxist revolutionaries.
They are all fighting against the worldview that Israel represents--God-given morality, freedom and national identity. There is a reason why Israel is called "the Little Satan" and America "the Great Satan."
This battle is not just military or political; it is spiritual. It is cultural. And in such a war, only faith-based diplomacy can win.
When Moses received the Torah on Mount Sinai, it was a revolution. For the first time in history, society was built on the principle that all human beings are equal before God. The Torah rejected the idea that rulers were inherently superior to their subjects. It enshrined laws that protected private property, personal freedoms and the right to justice.
Unlike the surrounding pagan nations where kings and emperors ruled by divine right and the masses had no voice, the Torah introduced a legal system based on debate and discourse. The Jewish people thrived under this system, living in relative freedom while other nations languished under dictatorship.
It was only natural that the surrounding powers sought to destroy this "disruptive" worldview. The enemies of Israel throughout history--from Pharaoh to the Romans to modern-day globalists--have always seen the Jewish people as a threat because they embody a system that undermines their ability to control.
Judeo-Christian values were so revolutionary that they laid the foundation for Western civilization. The U.S. Constitution, the British legal system and European Enlightenment were all built upon the moral and legal principles found in the Bible. These societies flourished, creating the freest, most prosperous nations in history.
Today, we are witnessing an aggressive coalition of forces that seek to dismantle Judeo-Christian civilization. At first glance, these groups appear to have nothing in common:
