I agree. We both come from THE Book and while we differ regarding Jesus who WAS Jewish and preached in the Temple, Christianity came from the Old Testament foundations. To my Jewish friends here I say Shalom.
That’s another first class article and I totally agree with the point regarding Judeo-Christian values and alliance.
My only respectful part query is regarding the concept that Islam is not the threat, only the Islamist extremists.
I believe I understand your point, but I believe (personally) that while not every Muslim will commit terrorist Islamist acts of violence, the vast majority of Muslims will tacitly or overtly support such acts.
And an even bigger majority will not oppose or demonstrate against such acts, nor instigate action to expose, shame or prosecute the actual culprits.
I suggest Islam is not a religion, it is a culture, a political body, a way of life - and it is one that tolerates no competition.
I agree completely. Someone recently said, "Radical Islam is a snake in the grass; ordinary Muslims are the grass." It's exactly the same as 1930s Germany.
I suspect that at least part of the answer is that to take my / your position in public means the definitive painting of a literal and political bullseye on one’s back.
Interesting; it’s not directly connected to the article, but I suspect Farage & Reform are quite literally Britain’s last chance of avoiding Third World banana republic status.
And NF is a politician; all politicians have to allow wiggle room & self deception by the public or they would never be elected. Genuinely purist / honest assessment of the threat from Islam is, given the reach and power of MSM, almost certainly electoral suicide.
Looking back, I have to doubt whether Lady Thatcher would have won the General Election of 1983 without the assistance of General Galtieri.
Do you have a link for the alleged Farage statement re criticism of Islam being immoral?
What both religions share is a moral code that governs peoples actions. What they are up against is people who are the new "Pagans" who have a situational morale code that can and does change as their interpretation of social action changes to fit their immediate needs. People so violent and close minded that they see opposition as a moral failing of their "foe" and therefore that group is a legitimate target of that violence.
There is a pervasive view among westerners that institutional religion is the sources of all woos. This is completely false. The source of woos was *always*, and remains, dogma.
We cannot compromise on Who Jesus Christ is - the Son of the Living God, but "to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks (Gentiles) foolishness." But we can defend our Jewish brothers and sisters and stand together with them in fighting the common enemy.
Well said and true. But the comments support my suspicion that the Jews need the Christians more than the Christians need the Jews. Of course the Christians will pay the price for their nearsightedness in the end.
Science never quite debunked religion nor Plato. We can test for G-d, and the results are surprising. Here in London we have been monitoring a thirty-year Nazi revival. This revival was supposed to be underpinned by the appearance of Thor and Wotan as tens of thousands of top Nazis waited for Sign. These Nazis hate Christianity. However, All-powerful Deity is easily debunked.
They are rightly far more worried about Muslims and their support from Sadiq khan, the Muslim Mayor, and Keir Starmer, the Communist Prime Minister than they are about National Socialists.
Tommy Robinson knows this. He was just invited to Israel by Netanyahu's government to let them know about it and his videos are terrific.
Be careful of ‘Jew-washing’ from the Nazis. This is a well known tactic by post-war German Nazis. This is an attempt to wash away the atrocities of WWII. Here in London, we have monitored Nazi psychopaths planning the same again.
The article is wonderful but why narrow the focus. We also need our Hindu brothers and sisters to unite with us. India has been a tremendous ally to Israel and we always seem to forget them. They also know the danger of the Islamists and have been fighting against them for decades. It time we gave them the recognition they deserve.
Absolutely, western civilization is based on a Judeo-Christian foundation (maybe with some Greco/Roman threads) and absolutely, we should stand together. I love it.
I would, however, focus more on "Enlightenment values" -- especially if you want to forge a strong and compelling alliance. Enlightenment values stress reason and science, as well as justice, individual liberty, all men created equal, rule of law, etc. but it does NOT require a "religious / spiritual" foundation.
And, it does need updating. Instead of returning to Bronze Age roots, why not take the Bronze Age into the 21st century?
I do think that Judaism and Christianity have shown some adaptations over the centuries, but more is needed. Why is it that western societies do not require every girl to learn how to protect herself from physical harm? The penalties for rape should be much harsher. It should be absolutely taboo to physically harm a female in any way.
At the same time, we need to stop treating the white male as the boogey man. We need to reclaim our history as glorious, facing our flaws yes, but also illuminating our incredible achievements -- especially in comparison to the other "civilization" in question.
This is neither "racist" nor "phobic". Can we just start to teach history based simply on fact? That is where a good deal of our strength lies.
Great article, as always. BUT . . . this time I have to tweak it a bit. Absolutely, western civilization is based on a Judeo-Christian foundation (maybe with some Greco/Roman threads) and absolutely, we should stand together. I love it.

I don't care if it seems "racist" or "phobic". Can we start to teach values and history based simply on fact? That is where a good deal of our strength lies.
Okay, that's my sermon for today. Thanks, as always.
Wonderful! I agree Jews and Christian’s standing together make us stronger than ever. ✡️🙏

This is the way forward for civilisation .unity is strength and we need this now, not a moment to lose .
This article is perfection itself.
India has been and still is safe haven for Jews .
There are Jewish communities dotted around India in major cities.
There is a pervasive view among westerners that institutional religion is the sources of all woos. This is completely false. The source of woos was *always*, and remains, dogma.
Woes?

Some of my family live in London.

This article comes at the perfect time. Could you expand on how historical divisions truely lose meaning?
