Talking is a 'miracle': 3 highlights from Dennis Prager's interview after spinal cord injury
3. Prager makes a moral case for Israel
The PragerU founder, who was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home, discussed the state of Israel and how the moral case for supporting the Jewish state comes down to one question.
“The biggest reason to support Israel is not a faith argument. It’s a moral argument,” Prager said, referencing the educational content he’s published through Prager U on the topic of Israel and the Middle East.
“And I asked one simple question: What would happen if Israel decided, 'You know what, we're going to stop fighting. We're relinquishing all our weapons, and we will not fight,'” Prager said.
“On the other hand, what would happen if the Palestinians said, ‘We will not fight. Here are all our weapons.’ OK. So, what would happen in the case of the Palestinians relinquishing violence and war and terror and giving up their weapons, there would be peace the next day,” the conservative content creator asserted.
“If Israel did that, there would be literal genocide. The Israeli Jewish population would be largely wiped out, and vast numbers of its women would also be raped,” he added.
