Israel is a Western democracy...Its parliamentary system, legal traditions, education and scientific research facilities and cultural achievements are as fundamental to it as to any other Western society. Indeed, in some of these areas, Israel is a world leader. Defending Israel means defending the values that made and sustain our Western civilization.
We must never forget that Israel is on our side in the battle against Islamism and terror. Israel stands on the front line of that fight as a bulwark of Judeo-Christian values. The belief that the democratic world can sacrifice Israel in order to placate Islamism is profoudnly wrong and dangerous. Appeasement failed in the 1930s and it will fail today.
Attempts to question Israel's basic legitimacy as a Jewish state in the Middle East are unacceptable to people who support liberal democratic values. The State of Israel was founded in the wake of Unite Nations Resolution 181, pass in 1947. It also arose out of an unbroken Jewish connection to the land that stretches back thousands of years. Israel derives its legitimacy from international law and from the same right to self-determination claimed by all nations
Israel's basic right to self-defense should not be questioned. Nor should it be forgotten that Israel faces unique security threats from terror groups such as Hezbolah and Hamas, and from Iran seeking nuclear weapons.
