Anti-Semitism, Israel and the Twilight of Western Civilisation - Dennis Prager Interview (Video)

In this 17 May 2024 video, host John Anderson interviews Dennis Prager to explore the deepening divisions in America today.

Concerned with the destructive tendencies of left-wing movements, Dennis points to growing difficulties for young men and women who are deprived of the structure and blessings of Western civilisation. He emphasises that while these issues are daunting, despair is not an option, echoing his belief “despair is a sin”.

Confronting the polarising shifts between red and blue states, which give little reasons for hope, Dennis opts to fight for goodness and truth on principle, regardless of the odds for victory. Dennis Prager is one of America’s most respected conservative thinkers and communicators. He is the Founder of the ever-popular PragerU platform and consistently engages in what seem to be the most important debates of our time.

Excerpt from the transcript:

Truth is a liberal value and truth is a conservative value but truth has never been a left-wing value. It is irrelevant to  leftism, literally irrelevant. They don’t ask is something true, they ask is it racist,homophobic, transphobic or xenophobic. That is what they question. they don’t ask if it is true. This leaves the leftists free to engage in two enormous lies. Israel is an Apartheid state, with 2 million, approximately 20% of its citizens not Jewish but overwhelmingly Muslim Arabs. They are Palestinians, the freest Arabs in the Arab world. By living in the Jewish state, they are the freest Arabs in the Arab world. I doubt two percent of University students in Australia or in the United States are even aware of that fact, that truth. We live in a sea of lies. The apartheid and the genocide lles are Vindication of the famous gbl’s quote that if you repeat anyhing often enough people will believe it is a disgrace.

The head of the British army in Afghanistan and an American Army officer who teaches at West Point Military Academy both have spoken about Israel as the most moral army in the world. Literally that was their words in a Prageru.com five minute video of a British General giving a talk about the unique Moral behavior of the Israeli Army and now here they are the ones accused of atrocities and genocide.
