"Hello everybody I've come to talk to you today about Israel's secret weapon.
October the 7th threw down a challenge to the West - would it choose civilization or barbarism. The West did not choose civilization.
And the reason is that the West no longer understands what civilization is.
What we've all been living through since October the 7th is not just a threat to Israel's survival, it's also an existential threat to the
West and a war against civilization itself."
