It took 13 years for Douglas Murray’s prophecy to come true. Thirteen years.

And now it’s happening exactly as he said, word for word.

He stood at the Oxford Union and warned that the West would once again abandon the Jews—and this time, Israel would be forced to stand alone.… pic.twitter.com/nckRyFNBZZ

IDF always challenged numbers on one important ground - Hamas exaggerates “women and children” and hides combatants. Israel claimed 25,000 Hamas killed (with the ratio 1 combatant per 1.5 non-combatant) which will make overall casualties around 60,000 plus 12,000 natural deaths

A movement that treats Jewish objections to antisemitism as "political stupidity" has already answered the question of how much it values its Jewish members and their rights and protection. Hazony's speech, for all its sophistication, is an admission of that reality. 20/🔚.

Hazony is right that moral pronouncements alone don't constitute political strategy. But politics without moral limits isn't strategy either—it's capitulation. The question isn't whether to be politically sophisticated. It's what principles are non-negotiable. 19/

This speech isn't about really fighting antisemitism. It's about managing it, keeping it quiet enough so that Hazony's nationalist coalition holds together. Jews are asked to be junior partners who don't complain too loudly when allies platform people calling us demonic. 18/

The question Hazony doesn't answer: Should Jews trust a political movement that needs persuading to eradicate antisemitism? If the price of admission is silence about Jew-libels reaching millions, what exactly is the point? This seems harsh, but this question isn't addressed. 17/

Hazony built @NATCON by managing contradictions, uniting philo-Semitic Zionist Christians with Chritsian Nationalists carrying more complex views on Jews. Tucker's turn has exposed the fragility. His response: blame Jews for noticing. 16/

The speech was hosted by the @IsraelDiaspora representing an official platform for an argument that Jews should stop vocally opposing antisemitism instead accommodating a movement that harbors it. Can we assume @AmichaiChikli agrees with the analysis? 15/

"Nationalist Republicans are not anti-Semites," Hazony assures us. They're "mystified" why Jews attack them. But if the movement requires this much Jewish bridge-building to prevent antisemitism from dominating, that's an indictment of the movement, not Jewish strategy. 13/

The speech's deepest evasion: Hazony never specifies what Jews must accept to join his nationalist coalition. Silence about Tucker's content? Acceptance of Christian nationalist theology? Looking away when allies platform antisemites? The terms are left carefully unstated. 12/

He attacks the "anti-Semitism-industrial complex" - a remarkable phrase for a Jewish intellectual to deploy against fellow Jews concerned about antisemitism. It mirrors the language antisemites use to dismiss Jewish concerns as an "industry" of manufactured grievance. 5/

Hazony declares "the fight over Tucker was lost" and moves on. But what fight? His entire speech argues Jews shouldn't have fought at all—they should quietly cultivate nationalist allies instead of loudly objecting to antisemitic propaganda reaching millions. 4/

The fight against antisemitism is the fight against anti-Christian hatred.

The same ideology kidnapping Christians in Nigeria is ramming cars into synagogues and murdering Jews abroad.

Different targets. Same hate. Same war. pic.twitter.com/FVIKOXKggr

Palestinian living in the U.S.:

“Burning the American flag is such a beautiful sight, but it’s not enough. We need to burn the U.S. government to the ground. Free Palestine.”

They’re telling you exactly who they are.
