Douglas Murray: Why Is the World Obsessed With Israel?

Why is the world so obsessed with Israel? Why does the United Nations pass more resolutions against Israel than against some of the world’s worst regimes combined? Why does the media scrutinize Israel differently than every other democracy? And why are people so emotionally fixated on the Jewish state? In this powerful and deeply thought-provoking speech, Douglas Murray breaks down the psychological, political, and moral forces driving the world’s obsession with Israel. From the hypocrisy of the United Nations… to the media’s double standards… to the collapse of empathy after October 7th… Douglas explains why Israel is judged by a completely different set of rules. This is not just a conversation about Israel. It’s a conversation about morality, hypocrisy, the West, propaganda, anti-Semitism, and the deeper ideological crisis unfolding across the world today.
