By refusing to submit to the Islamic project and insisting on a sovereign nation-state, Israel forced the region to accept the legitimacy of nation-states.
Without Israel, without a single sovereign, non-Islamic state planted in the Middle East, the path to reestablishing a caliphate would have been wide open.
A caliphate is more dangerous than the Nazis ever were. The caliphate once stretched from Spain to India, launching invasion after invasion into Europe.
If the Ottoman Caliphate had simply been replaced by an Arab one after its collapse, the West would have lived under constant threat.
That’s why Israel’s existence matters. Its very presence blocks the return of the caliphate.
Israel gives legitimacy even to the Arab nation states.
That's why Israel is the stumbling block in the eyes of the Muslim Brotherhood.
That is why they are obsessed with erasing Israel: without Israel, the dream of resurrecting the caliphate becomes possible again.
This is why the free world must stand with Israel, not just for Israel’s survival, but for its own.
