In Why the Jews?, my book on anti-Semitism, there is a chapter on anti-Americanism. My co-author, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, and I long ago understood that many of the reasons for Jew-hatred and America-hatred were the same.Among them are envy of success—material, of course, but even more importantly, success in terms of influence. Another is the religious foundation of both peoples: Both America and the Jews are rooted in belief in God, belief they are a Chosen People and belief in the Bible, especially the Old Testament, as the book from which they derive their values.America-haters and Jew-haters resent the enormous influence both nations have had on the world, have contempt

The ultimate goal, what this country was set up to accomplish, was society oriented toward the Creator based on the natural law discernible by human reason and made clear by the word of Christ, his divine son.
Not brute force, not class systems, but all humans created equally free to live and orient their lives toward God.
And obligated to spread that message throughout the world. Western Civilization.
But forces have opposed that. Women as chattel. Elitism. Children as disposable. Exploitation. Not in Gods name.
Education to control the will and intellect of others. Markets to steal the fruits of others labor. And an international community united not by God but in opposition to. God.
And we squandered our greatness to appease Godlessness and evil.

Mr. Prager again shines the light on soulless enemy. 40 years ago Pat Buchanan wrote about the assault on western culture. Been going on ever since. The problem is none of the political class wanted to call it what it was......until Donald John Trump put it front and center.

Outside of Egypt ( and that was thousands of years ago ) what great things have come out of Africa ? Christiaan Barnard not withstanding.The left hates that most of the great advances of civilization came from white people. Miserable rotten white people that invented and discovered most of the things that are beneficial to life on planet earth. Though subjective, they also wrote and painted great works.Seems like jealousy and envy to me. There are plenty of not so great white people, evil white people, but they're outnumbered by the everyday ordinary good people and the ones that continue to invent and innovate.

The country was founded by white guys. The Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWi and WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War, any war -- all white guys. The Louisana purchase, white guy. The annexation of the West, white guys. Hawaii allowed in by white guys. Every invention, every innovation, white guys. If you don't like white guys, you are invited to stay away from them. It is a tragedy that the younger white guys are being indoctrinated to be communists. What it is going to get them is a seat at the back of the bus. We will see how they like looking up to their communist masters.

I remember a conversation with my father (whose father was Jewish but not his mother) way back in the 70’s about why the Arab countries in the ME hated the Jews and Israel and his answer was the same as Pragers - envy. My father pointed out that the Jews had taken a desert area and turned it into a thriving garden while the Arabs around them just sat on their duffs in the sand.

Prager is right about most of the hatred directed against both Jews and the U.S.A. is based on jealousy and envy and because the success of both groups makes the losers feel inadequate and worthless.
But he's wrong about the "extinction theory" concerning only Jews/America as there are a number of world religions that believe you must convert everyone to your own beliefs ... or you must kill them.
The ancient Egyptians killed or enslaved any one who didn't accept their Pharaoh as a god. As did many other African and Asian belief systems. The Romans, Greeks, Babylonians, Phoenicians, etc. did the same thing. Believe or die!
In more modern times, look no further than the Crusades going all the way up to 9/11. That religion takes no prisoners either.
