Israel's Role in Western Civilization Examined

The foundation of Western civilization is deeply rooted in biblical morality, particularly from the Jewish tradition, as articulated in an article highlighting the influence of the Bible over Greek philosophy in shaping Western thought. The article argues that American Founders were inspired by biblical principles, evident in symbols and inscriptions associated with the nation's history. Meanwhile, a discussion on the Israeli-Jordanian relationship reveals Jordan's long-standing stability and its moderate role in the Arab world, despite recent tensions following the Second Intifada. As international perspectives shift, concerns have emerged regarding police responses to anti-Israel sentiments in Europe and the U.S. political landscape, where support for Israel faces increasing scrutiny from certain Democratic factions. Additionally, the DA's strategic adjustments in South Africa's foreign policy aim to align with the ANC while navigating international pressures concerning Israel, representing a tactical shift within the governing coalition. These narratives reflect ongoing complexities in the intersections of history, morality, and contemporary geopolitics.
