I recorded a podcast with Ariel Whitman for his show The Western Spirit. Discussing the themes of my new book, The Builder’s Stone: How Jews and Christians Built the West – and Why Only They Can Save It, we chewed over the west’s suicidal attack on itself, the key contribution Judaism made to the core values of western civilisation, and how the combination of these two things has put a bullseye on the back of both the State of Israel and the Jewish people. We also discussed public reaction to Donald Trump’s arrival in the White House suggested that something in the zeitgeist had shifted, the wildfires in California and demographic change in Europe.

I’m travelling in Australia this week on speaking engagements, and so haven’t had any time to write about Trump’s astonishing comments about Gaza or any other developments. I hope to be back at the keyboard again soon.
