They Finally Said It Out Loud
Nat Con Jerusalem telegraphed an imminent renegotiation of the US and UK's relationship with Israel, on new grounds of reciprocal nationalism. Jonathan Keeperman and William Wolfe explained that the post-War consensus is dying, and America is “a war-weary nation”. The unpopularity of dispensationalist theology, and repudiation of neoconservative foreign policy by repeated failures to regime-build in the Middle East, make them unreliable guarantors of prosperity for either America or Israel.
If Israelis want a healthy relationship with the Anglosphere and Europe, they need to treat them as self-confident, demographically secure countries, without the suspicion that they will someday, for no reason at all, morph into Adolf Hitler.
That means, as Gadi Taub said on stage, both Israel and the Jewish diaspora must stop pushing for third-world migration and an "Open Society" in those countries. They must stop misusing pejoratives like "racist" and "antisemite" — which no longer work, because the consequences of complying with censorship are worse than being called these names. They should support ethnic and national self-confidence for those countries, because the double standard of nationalism for Israel but not for White nations is not compelling to a generation of young patriots like me, who face unprecedented demographic insecurity. We respond to strength, not being browbeaten for historical atrocities we didn't commit.
But should support for Israel be our concern? How sincere were the speakers at Nat Con Jerusalem? Can Israeli Ministers like Bezalel Smotrich be trusted when he tells Nat Con, "There is no justification for demanding that Western countries absorb Middle Eastern populations again and again," when he said in September, "if every country in Europe was willing to take 20,000 - 30,000 [Palestinians] that would have been the end of the matter"?
This renegotiation has unresolved issues. Some involved still have some way to go to establish trust and consistency. But I commend everyone involved in Nat Con for hosting these conversations.
