How Israel Will Save Western Civilization, with Josh Hammer

JL;DR SUMMARY Josh Hammer discusses his book 'Israel and Civilization' with Liel Leibovitz, positing that the future of Western civilization is intricately tied to the success of Israel and the Jewish people. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

Israel
"It makes the case that no less a precious thing than the fate of the entire Western world and civilization. It depends on the security and well-being of a certain smallish Jewish state, the state of Israel and the Jewish people's right to, you know, have their own self-determination in their own ancestral homeland."
London, United Kingdom
"I mean, is it actually self-evident to the Taliban goat farmer in the hills of Afghanistan? I don't know. I'm not sure that the intellectually honest person can say that the answer is yes. But the reason that it was self-evident to Jefferson, the reason that it was self-evident to John Locke writing a century prior in England was that this happened."
New York, United States
"There's a there's a one very prominent reform synagogue in New York City, Rabbi Hirsch, I believe is his name, who has now come out and basically said that that he he he was wrong for calling for a so-called two state solution, but with the Palestinian Arabs for many decades there."
Jerusalem, Israel
"So, OK, so so the proposal, it was the third night of Hanukkah there in Jerusalem. And it's the balcony of Asha Torah, which which which you've identified there."
New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
"Yes, that's a real thing. We learned that the hard way yet again on Bourbon Street, New Orleans on New Year's Day. Funny how the media doesn't talk about that particular story anymore."
