The Forum Roundtable: Islamism, Israel, and the Decline of Western Civilization

Description

Across the West, from North America to Europe and Australia, antisemitism is rising alongside the spread of radical Islam. For Islamists, Jews are the first target, Christians the next, and Western civilization the ultimate prize. Yet Western leaders remain blind, or complicit, through permissive immigration, weak enforcement, and speech laws that hasten decline. As Israel fights for its survival, can the West still defend the Judeo-Christian foundations that once made it strong?
