#MiddleEast - How Israel Won the West | The Big Picture

25 October 2024

The Big Picture: How Israel Won the West examines how Israel has come to occupy such a privileged and protected place in the Western world.

Along the way, what is revealed is a process of transformation, of how Jews went from being despised by early Christians as "Christ killers" – seeding a vile anti-Judaism that would mutate into anti-Semitism – to being considered part of the white Western world, sharing a common Judeo-Christian heritage.
