Hugh Hewitt: The Israel-Iran War Rages On

This is Hugh Hewitt for Townhall.com.

In the year and a half since the horrific massacre of 1,200 innocents on October 7th, 2023, war has raged through and around Israel and it rages still.

It's impossible to erase the record of who did what and said what over the course of what ought to be called the Israel-Iran War.

“Sometimes a flare goes up and you see exactly where everyone is standing.”

That’s Douglas Murray writing in his profound new book, On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel in the Future of Civilization.

That flare went up on 10/7 and has never for a moment dimmed. Everything is on the record. The reckoning continues.

Murray sets up the reader with a question that has haunted the world since 9/11: “What can Western liberal societies do in the face of such movements?”

The West can rally, can reject death cults, and produce a new generation of warriors.

I'm hopeful there remains within our nation the deep well of resolve to live freely and without fear, to defeat some enemies and deter others.

I'm Hugh Hewitt.
