Brendan O’Neill joins Ariel Whitman on The Western Spirit to expose how hatred of Israel has become a new secular faith in Europe. From Dublin to London, O’Neill explains why anti-Israel sentiment has morphed into a moral crusade — one that now dominates media, academia, and politics.In this explosive interview, we discuss:Why Ireland turned against IsraelThe West’s silence on antisemitismHow October 7 emboldened HamasWhy European leaders reward terrorThe collapse of reason in elite institutionsBrendan argues that modern Europe has replaced Christianity with a new religion — one where Israel is the devil and “Palestine” is the sacred cause. And the consequences are terrifying, not only for Jews, but for the future of Western civilization itself.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Brendan O'Neill and His Work01:33 Irish Perspectives on Israel and Anti-Semitism06:47 The Rise of Israelophobia in Ireland11:09 Hamas's Tactics and Western Responses22:35 Political Dynamics in the UK and Europe28:30 Immigration and Its Impact on Western Politics31:14 The Rise of Anti-Semitism in Europe32:44 Double Standards in Immigration and Politics35:58 Free Speech and Its Disparities39:41 The Disturbing Climate of Hostility44:37 Fear of the Mob and Police Inaction48:33 Israel's Image and Global Perception52:37 The Revolutionary Nature of Israel's Defense55:45 Conclusion and Reflections on the Conversation🔔 Subscribe to The Western Spirit for bold voices, uncompromising ideas, and clarity in an age of chaos.📌 Watch, share, and join the conversation to uncover what’s really at stake.📌 Support the channel by buying me coffee! ☕️ https://buymeacoffee.com/westernspirit📌 For business inquiries, including advertising opportunities on our show, please email us at: thewesternspiritpodcast@gmail.com#BrendanONeill #Israel #Europe #Antisemitism #TheWesternSpirit #Hamas #Gaza #Politics #FreeSpeech #WesternValues📘 Buy Brendan’s new book: After the Pogrom: October 7 and the Crisis of Civilization – here: https://www.amazon.com/After-Pogrom-O...
