Western Crime
Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero
The central hypothesis proposed by Viviane Forrester holds that antisemitism in the West is a historical constant that tends to intensify. Europe bears the primary responsibility for creating the Arab-Israeli conflict and remains indifferent to the fate of Jewish culture.
This rejection and hatred of Jews seems to perpetuate itself, even allowing for extreme situations after the Holocaust.
The annihilation of Jewish communities in Eastern Europe is an episode that the Western world avoids addressing directly. During World War II, this rejection took on global dimensions, culminating in the non-admission of Jewish emigrants and their fate in the extermination camps. The concept of the Intermarium has profound implications for global geopolitics.
However, European Jews did not seek conflict over the so-called Holy Land; many would have preferred to remain in European nations, but they still faced relentless rejection, being expelled and rarely welcomed.
The vast majority perished due to the Nazis' death machine, and Europe never granted them a square meter to form their homeland.
The idea of a possible Jewish state in Eastern Europe was a central element of Operation Barbarossa and the development of hell like never before on earth.
In the current context, progressive populism has fueled a new kind of antisemitism accompanied by an idealization of Arab terrorism, reflecting a self-destructive tendency and an attempt to erase certain historical values of Western Judeo-Christian culture.
Rather than focusing on transcendent legacies, this trend seems to be more focused on an empty and purposeless consumerism.
This has resulted in a serious deviation from Western culture, which tends to glorify deeply anti-Western civilizations while justifying the elimination of its own cultural pillars.
Currently, the West seems less interested in allowing Israel to defend its identity and territorial sovereignty, adding to a cultural and political crisis that is moving away from fundamental principles and calling into question the values that once defined these societies.
The West is experiencing an ontological suicide, as the thinkers Eric Zemour and Alain Finkielkrauft expressed with regard to France.
The values of Western progressive populism are not embraced by powers like China, Russia, or Iran, which take opposing positions.
This raises a troubling question: could the world be a better place if one of these nations replaced the United States as the dominant power? As in rapidly Islamizing France, Western progressive populism will surely be complete and fulfilled when the political parties of Arab fundamentalism govern them.
On the other hand, Israel does not need external defenders; its history has taught it to protect itself with determination and effectiveness.
Despite pressure from the same powers responsible for historical crimes against the Jews, Israel continues to be considered a Western bastion without full recognition as an independent and sovereign nation.
In the face of all this, Israel has managed to reclaim its territory through laborious and persistent effort. Although, once again, the leaders of the European nations that committed the Western crime seek to force it to remain a spearhead, they will not grant it self-determination. Will they be able to? Israel has earned its land inch by inch, and these are no longer the days of Baron Hirsh. Israel is not France, and Netanyahu is not Macron.
