Brendan O’Neill is Righteous Among the Nations, a clear-sighted chronicler of our dispiriting times. I read and support Spiked, but I also subscribe to the Spectator where I found an article by Stephen Daisley that made me think of your post here.
I'll leave a snippet:
"As the conservative commentator Andrew Klavan notes mordantly: ‘I just hope Israel can save western civilisation before western civilisation can stop them.’ Truth be told, Israel isn’t in the business of saving western civilisation, it’s in the business of saving itself. It just so happens that doing so benefits a western civilisation that is busy dismantling itself. In hammering senior Islamist terrorists into the ground, Israel is taking a cudgel to both the handwringing accommodationism of the western liberal and the vengeful utopianism that defines the western leftist. It is redeeming the virtues of sovereignty, strength, and stability – and it’s winning."
