Ben Shapiro seeks to pilpul his way out of the Noahide Laws controversy by crying "anti-Semitism" and constructing a straw man.
"This entire fake controversy went crazy online because some liar named Chris Menahan put out a tweet that had millions and millions of views that said, 'Ben Shapiro urges TPUSA crowd to abide by the Noahide Laws.'"
"Okay, now, again, I'm just confused. Did I encourage Christians to abandon Christianity or did I do the opposite?" he says.
Did I tell anyone you encouraged people to abandon Christianity? No, I did not. I said you urged them to abide by the Noahide Laws, which you did, then quoted you word for word.
He also laughably claims that when Jews invoke the commandment to destroy "Amalek" they're just "speaking colloquially!" 😂

Israel’s New – and Terrifying – Security Doctrine

If you read one thing today, make sure it is this:
In a stunning piece published by the head of one of Israel’s most prominent think tanks, Maj. Gen. Tamir Hayman describes the reality of Israel’s new security doctrine:
A few crucial principles he describes:
1. The United States is a “declining power” and, given its ongoing social and political shifts, will soon abandon Israel in any event. This is compelling Israel to move toward greater self-reliance in order to avoid “excessive dependence” on the US since it “exposes Israel to the influence of a progressive American value system that is incompatible with Israel’s Jewish character.”
Then he concludes: “Severing ties with the United States is therefore not only inevitable, but essential to Israel’s independence and the resilience of its Jewish national identity.”
2. Primacy of Jewish Identity over Democracy: The state’s Jewish identity takes precedence over its democratic system of government.
3. Peace as a Means Rather Than an End: “A meaningful peace agreement is unattainable in the Middle East, as peace agreements are merely technical and temporary arrangements requiring constant reassessment. According to this view, peace is not an intrinsic value that generates security, but a means of achieving other policy objectives.”
4. “Rejection of the Independent Existence of Arab States: The underlying premise is that most Arab states are not genuine nation-states, but collections of tribes and ethnic groups lacking a shared history and a foundational national vision. Consequently, undermining their stability is viewed as a natural process, one that Israel can manage more effectively than it can contend with strong nation-states, and one that it should even encourage.”
5. “War as a Foundational State: War is essential to national security and cannot be replaced by a state of peace, which, as noted, is merely a means rather than an end…. War is necessary, and preventive war is preferable because it secures a significant achievement at the outset.”
6. “Absolute Priority for Initiative and Offense over Defense: Preemptive, surprise strikes are viewed as the only way to achieve victory, giving offense precedence over defense.”
And there’s more.
Important to note that Hayman does not advocate for this. Rather, he contends that this already is the new security doctrine of Israel.
He is describing reality as he sees it. And that reality simply is not compatible with a US or Western alliance with Israel – unless the West transforms into a similar entity that treats war as a permanent and desirable state of being.
