“The Attack on Jews Is an Attack on Western Civilisation”: Gadi Taub

In this clip, Gadi Taub argues that antisemitism should not be understood in isolation, but as part of a broader civilisational conflict. Taub suggests that attacks on Jews have historically preceded wider assaults on Western values and institutions. In his view, hostility toward Israel and Zionism is often connected to a deeper rejection of the principles underpinning Western civilisation itself. The discussion explores how these patterns have appeared in the past—and why they may still be relevant today. This is a provocative argument about history, ideology, and the broader meaning of contemporary conflict.
