Rupert Murdoch: Can Europe and the United States survive if we allow the terrorists to succeed in Israel?

Rupert Murdoch raised an important question in a speech to the American Jewish Committee:
In the West, we are used to thinking that Israel cannot survive without the help
of Europe and the United States. Tonight I say to you: Maybe we should start
wondering whether we in Europe and the United States can survive if we allow the
terrorists to succeed in Israel.

We can no longer lie to ourselves. If the Islamic terrorists succeed in destroying Israel, they will not stop there. That will only be the warm up for a Christian country as the next target, and another will follow that one.

He describes the opponents well: "In the end, the Israeli people are fighting the same enemy we are: cold-blooded killers who reject peace, who reject freedom and who rule by the suicide vest, the car bomb and the human shield." They accept no peace until the whole world embraces Islam. To impose Islam on the world, they will murder any who stand in their way.

Apologists may think that if only we help the Islamists defeat Israel, they will be nice to Christians. They are no different than Neville Chamberlain and the Islamists will act no differently than the Nazis. If they destroy Israel, the only question will be where they will strike next.
