Episode 444 – The Andrew Parker Show - A War of Values II: Antisemitism, Radical Islam, and the Fight for Western Civilization

In this powerful and uncompromising episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker speaks during the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah—a time that commemorates miracles, resilience, and the triumph of freedom over tyranny. Against that backdrop, he confronts the accelerating rise of antisemitism, radical Islamic terrorism, and the dangerous moral confusion spreading across Western institutions.

 Andrew argues that the world is no longer engaged in a series of isolated conflicts, but in a full-scale war of values—one that pits freedom, democracy, and Judeo-Christian principles against ideologies that glorify death, destruction, and the eradication of Israel and the Jewish people. He addresses the normalization of extremist rhetoric on college campuses, within media coverage, and among elected officials, including the consequences of excusing incitement under the guise of free speech.

 This episode calls for decisive leadership, including the formation of an international alliance of freedom-loving democracies to clearly define antisemitism, confront radical terror, and respond collectively when violence and incitement occur. Andrew warns that silence, appeasement, and moral relativism only give oxygen to forces that seek to dismantle Western civilization from within.

 This is not a partisan discussion—it is a civilizational one. And the time to act is now.

Episode 444, The Andrew Parker Show

Andrew Parker (00:03)
Welcome to another episode of the Andrew Parker Show. Thank you very much for joining us as we are in the midst of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.

celebrating God's miracles.

with great gratitude to God for.

The.

Miracles of Hanukkah and for

the Maccabees prevailing against all odds.

with the help of God in the name of freedom and liberty and fundamental Jewish values that became Judeo-Christian values.

and that we all in the Jewish and Christian faiths attempt to live day in day out.

And that is loving thy neighbor as thyself, living with kindness.

and

hope and prosperity and caring for all.

just a few of the fundamental values. Not everyone shares those values. And I would argue that radical Islamic terrorists do not.

In fact, as it has been said often and even by radical Islamic terrorist leaders,

they love and are not fearful of.

death as much as we love life.

And as they have said many times...

Death in the name of Allah is the most righteous.

What that can result in with the most radical of Muslims is death and destruction for others who do not share their faith or belief.

And what has occurred on the first day of Hanukkah this year is yet another reminder.

of such death and destruction.

and the horrors of it. And the question arises, what are we to do about it as we wring our hands once again and allow it to march forward? It meaning.

propagation of radical Islamic terror. We are in, as I have said, and I just said on

recorded show earlier.

We are in a war of values, a fight for Western civilization and our values. And people don't want to acknowledge it or admit it. They don't want it.

But oftentimes, almost always, you don't want war, but your enemies do. You have no choice.

Unless you simply capitulate, which many in Western Europe do and they have and they may now be lost Australia, Canada potentially as well. But we need to take decisive action. And I call for something like the creation of a NATO organization amongst freedom loving

democracy-loving peoples.

and the US should call for an international conference to create this international organization. It is not the UN and should not be the UN.

but it should be aligned countries who are opposed to anti-Semitism, who are opposed to the destruction of the Jewish people. That's how important it is to all freedom-loving, democracy-loving countries around the world.

whether they have a lot of Jews in the country or not. Because it is not so much about the Jewish people as it is about world civilization and values.

But at the point of that spear is anti-Semitism.

And when so Ron Mondani.

make stump speeches like he does, filled with virulent hate of the Jewish people and more so of the state of Israel, which is interwoven with the Jewish people. The land is the Jewish people and has been throughout the millennia.

like you don't understand. It has been throughout the millennia.

The Jews rightfully have a country in that small sliver of land and have for thousands of years, whether recognized by the world or not.

and they have inhabited that land. are the indigenous people of that land.

So when Zmandani calls for boycott, divestment, and sanctions, calls for and calls out the prime minister of the state of Israel, democratically elected as somehow a war criminal, who he would arrest in the largest city with Jews anywhere in the world.

in terms of numbers outside of Israel.

It is a disgrace. It is a black mark.

for the United States, most importantly, it gives oxygen to radical Islamic terrorists. They view themselves as having gained a foothold here in the United States.

And this happened decades ago already in Western Europe, in various cities in Western Europe, with mayors and other elected officials making statements like this. You don't read about them that often, but they are a whole litany of such examples. And where else? Right here in the city of Minneapolis. That city council that we have is horrific.

when it comes to the war on values.

They hate the United States. They speak openly about revolution. Several of them.

They fully support and arguably are worse than Mamdani himself. Some of them.

as it comes to taking a position contrary to Judeo-Christian values.

Now people will say, what do you mean Israel has committed this atrocity, that atrocity, et cetera.

First off, most of those statements are blatant, unadulterated lies that are being perpetrated and repeated time and time again in order that at some point they become truth. No, the reality is no matter how many times you repeat it or how loudly you repeat it, it doesn't make it true. For example,

Israel committed genocide. It is a bald-faced lie. In fact, the opposite is the case.

Israel fought a war, and the war was brought upon them through some of the most heinous atrocities that these people on the city council here in Minneapolis ignore.

And when you fight a war and when it is foisted upon you and you have to defend yourselves, God forbid the Jews should actually fight back and defend themselves. No, they should just go to the gas chambers like sheep, right? No, now that they are fighting back, they are called out as perpetrators of war. That's baloney.

This is a peaceful people that wants to live in peace and they have shown it time and time again, offering peace for virtually everything when it comes to the land, despite the fact that they shouldn't have to.

despite the fact that there is no right, legal or otherwise, under international law or otherwise, under moral conviction, otherwise.

for them too.

have to give land that they have been indigenous to for thousands of years, well before Islam ever existed.

No, these cries of genocide, bogus lies. Cries of starving young children, bogus lies. Of lacking provision of humanitarian aid, bogus lies. Although no other party involved in a war that was brought upon them when they were attacked has had to provide humanitarian aid to the enemy that is killing them day in and day out.

Thousand or more soldiers of in the Israeli Defense Force kids who are forced Since the beginning of the country who are forced Into going into the army for two years all of them the entire country

because of the warring parties, warring Islamic radical terrorists on their borders.

Think about it. It's horrific.

takes a psychological toll like you cannot believe. Having to send your kids, your 18 year old kids, men and women.

into uniform.

without very, very few exceptions.

It takes a psychological toll. But this lack of humanitarian bogus lie.

You don't even hear much about any other ⁓ sort of atrocities, but when they come up, they bombed a hospital. No, turns out, no, that's not what happened. It was actually Hamas shooting a rocket that went haywire and hit the hospital.

Now there were one or two in an entire war in a most urban area, almost anywhere in the world, ⁓ errors are made, but investigation occurs, people if needed are brought to justice. That's what the system calls for when you're in a country like this. You would not get that in any Palestinian country, in any Muslim country.

Controlled.

by those who.

to simply do not believe in the values.

of freedom and liberty.

The LGBTQ community would be destroyed in these Muslim countries in radical Islamic state. You kidding? It's outrageous that this city council calls for us to support that. It is outrageous, it's disgusting. The second class citizenry of women, the treatment of women.

and they support this. Free Palestine, free Palestine. Hey, really? Are those the values that you wanna support? We should not be supporting that here in the United States. We should be openly opposing it, in fact. And we shouldn't be confused about it. And anyone who incites violence should be arrested.

and immediately enforcement of the law should occur.

through our justice system. And that means across this country at university campuses, all of these free Palestine signs and the incitement of violence is not covered by the First Amendment.

Of course, the ACLU, they protect those haters, the Islamic radical terrorists that kill and maim under the guise of the First Amendment. They know full well that if you are engaged in incitement, you lose that protection.

and the U.S. Supreme Court should take up.

the case to set the boundary of where that protection starts and ends, and particularly where it ends.

and they should take up that case and interpret the Constitution such that there is no protective quarter for people.

who take action to incite hate, to incite hate crimes, to incite anti-Semitism.

We have done it in this country as it relates to racism against blacks.

the KKK and the destruction and the

Discouraged that the KKK Voiced it upon this country has been all but destroyed anybody who comes out publicly saying I'm a proud member of the KKK are shunned

and pushed under the rock from which they came.

No, but if you're an anti-Semite protesting on campus...

You're heralded as a hero, at least by the city council here in Minneapolis, by Zoran Mandami, mayor now of the biggest city in the United States of America.

One of the biggest anywhere in the world. He's now mayor.

Does he support the KKK? Of course he doesn't. Wow, this is different. This is, you know, a political battle between Palestinians and Israelis and, you know, that's all it's about and it's not about it. Baloney. Bull.

Radical Islamic terror in the name of creating a Palestinian state is bull. It is about the death and destruction of the state of Israel, the death and destruction of Jewish people wherever they are. That is what it is about. How do we know that? At a minimum we know it because there wasn't this hue and cry.

when the Jews did not have their country.

on the state of Israel and

from 1948 to 1967 for those 19 years there wasn't.

in the way there is now.

And Israel has provided and offered to live side by side with the Palestinian people five, six times openly. Bill Clinton will tell you that.

along with many others.

That's not what this is about. If you don't believe me, just read the statements of the Hamas leaders, of the Palestinian leaders.

Calling for in textbooks taught to little kids in elementary school for the total destruction of the state of Israel goes on every day. No, can't be, yes. That is, that is accurate. In the textbooks you can see, and this testimony has been given to the US Congress.

This is not about ⁓ Northern Ireland. The stupidity of the Irish to believe that this is a similar battle is outrageous. And it's so outrageous that maybe it's more...

with a foundation of anti-Semitism.

It sure looks like that.

So the argument that, ⁓ well, this is different, this is a ⁓ call for a homeland by a people that, ⁓ Palestinians that have a ⁓ right to their land here. There never were, there's never been a Palestinian country. It's not been we're returning to our country, we're returning to our ancestral homeland, no.

The Jews have that claim for sure.

And historically, ⁓ those are the facts.

But even if it were for this return, that is not what is being sought, certainly by Hamas or Hezbollah or Iran.

Certainly not. It's the total destruction. The constitution of Hamas says the total destruction of the state of Israel. what about the moderate, Fatah, the PLO, Mahmoud Abbas, total destruction. That's what they're calling for. That's what they have called for. That's what they teach their kids and they have for generations.

And you want to demand that Israel?

Has these people on their border?

What happened on October 7th will happen again and again and again and that is what the leaders of the Palestinian people have said. Openly.

So don't let these city council members in the city of Minneapolis lie to you. Because that's what they're doing. Or call me out as xenophobic or Islamophobic.

If being against radical Islamic terrorists is Islamophobic, then I'm Islamophobic. If there were Jewish radical terrorists, I would be against them too, by the way. If they were white, I'd be against them. If they were black, I'd be against them.

No, this is a war of civilizations. This is a war for values, fundamental values that the world can live and thrive with versus die and be destroyed with.

And someone's gonna win this and someone's gonna lose it. And we better wake up quickly.

Does it take 11, 12 people, 12 now people to be dead in Sydney, Australia to wake us up? I dare say it's going to take more than that. Why? Because October 7th was far more than that. Horrific. The worst. You can't even watch the videos. You can't watch them all the way through. I bet you you can't. It's disgusting. Despicable. That didn't wake us up. No. In fact,

Israel's been attacked more since October 7th than before in the in the milieu of international debate and discussion It's unbelievable Sickeningly unbelievable and it's not just that it's wrong is that it is so dangerous and is another lost battle Because it gives oxygen

It supports and says, we did the right thing on October 7th, gives oxygen to the radical Islamic terrorists. That's how horrific it is, the way the media covers this, the way our institutions of higher learning teach.

These academics who teach in the classroom.

the open hatred of the Jewish people and of the state of Israel and teach blatant, unadulterated lies and revisionist history should be removed.

It is a destruction.

of our values. Well, but you know, it's free speech and it is an open learning process. All views are welcome. Yeah, but they aren't all well.

Pro-Israel views are not welcome and it's not even pro-Israel anti-Israel that it's fundamental values

that are being attacked and destroyed.

It is supporting those that will have the destruction of the Jewish people and they call for it.

again.

If this were the KKK, they would be run out of town in every class of college, university in the United States.

And the difference is bogus.

Yeah, they are different fringe elements. No, radical Islamic terror is, know, it's now, it's, you know, it's popular to be supporting it on college campuses. It's an outrage. And we need to come out and fight it. Silence is not an option. So I have called for...

And I believe that a concrete step that can be made, statement as well as actual, not just as a statement, but certainly that's part of it. But as actual policy is to call for an international conference of countries to come together.

And to start with.

to identify what antisemitism is. Now this has been done before, but not in this way.

Call out what it is, identify it when it occurs, and have countries agree in advance through an organizational construct to agree to come together to fight whatever action occurred, such as the murder of the 12 in Sydney, Australia.

Who should come to this conference? United States should call it.

And the European Union should be there in force every single country and all of the countries of Europe, whether a part of the EU or not. All democratic countries, Australia, Canada.

should be there.

That is a statement rather than the Australian Prime Minister coming on TV and saying, ⁓ we feel terrible about what happened to the Jewish people on the first day of Hanukkah 2025.

Yeah, that's terrible. Well, it's predictable.

And radical Islamic terror supports it. They celebrate in the streets just like they did after October 7th, just like they did when this so-called peace plan was signed. They viewed it as a victory, and they're not gonna follow through with anything further in that plan. They haven't and they won't.

Just like they did after 9-11. Cheering in the streets. The Palestinian people. Cheering in the streets. Thousands of Americans dead.

The city of New York that Mamdani now heads up attacked, blatantly attacked.

What did we do? We went into Iraq and we lost lives, we lost a lot of treasure. We did nothing.

Radical Islamic terror is on the march and we are not responding, Republican or Democrat. We are not taking action, calling an international conference like this, calling out radical Islamic terror for what it is, being clear about it.

Calling out anti-Semitic actions when they occur and making a statement as to what will be done when they occur and are identified. Not just hand-wringing and making a public statement, we feel so bad, yeah, more Jews dead.

because soon it's going to be more Christians dead.

Pretty soon the laws on the books are going to say we're allowed to ⁓ call out Christians and Jews and make them second class citizens. Only those that convert to Islam will not be.

nobody's ever gonna do that. ⁓ What do you mean?

It's been done throughout the generations. The examples are a myriad.

Nah, this is happening everywhere, no.

But it's what the Muslim Brotherhood calls for. It's what the Iranians call for. You look at Muslim countries around the world, most of them, almost all of them, don't have a Jew anywhere in sight. And they're massacring Christians. What do mean this isn't happening? It's happening. The timid of us, which is most, don't want to accept that it's happening.

And so what do they do? They call out, hey, you're an Islamophobe, you're a xenophobe, yeah. Just calling out those names. And they say, well, you do the same. Anybody who has a negative view of Israel, they're an anti-Semite. You do the same. No, it's different, totally different. And I don't call out anyone who has a negative view of Israel as an anti-Semite.

There are different policy views you can have so long as you apply them across the board and not simply to the Jewish state. When you simply apply them to the Jewish state, you are a bigot.

And by the way, I don't simply apply my views related to Islam and what they have shown they do.

If there were radical Jewish terrorists, I would oppose them as well. As strenuously, arguably more strenuously.

Not even arguably, more strenuously.

and we would get rid of them, but that doesn't exist. You haven't noticed that sort of organization within the Jewish community. You could probably find it.

But it's a pinprick compared to

the scourge of radical Islam.

around the world.

That's not all Muslims. Understood.

but a lot of people are dead. Jews and Christians are dead. We are in a war for civilization for our values. And we should call an international conference. We should call out the Minneapolis City Council when they make these anti-Semitic statements. Several members.

when they engage in this quote unquote covered free Palestine sort of statement and movement and push lies. Should call out Memdani for it.

to call out the Democratic Party and those that they support, who they send to the halls of Congress, who push this narrative. Well, it's free speech. Everyone has the right to. Now, incitement is not free speech. And again, the US Supreme Court should make that doubly clear in this context.

because the U.S. Constitution is not a suicide pact. Our rights and values do not protect the complete destruction of our country.

When you use those rights and values to attack us, to incite violence, you lose the protections. And the Muslim Brotherhood and care in this country have walked over that line. Now, they try not to. They try to walk right up to that line. And they play a very cute game.

But I think the high court needs to call them out, as well as others, to make clear where that line is and not allow them to use our freedoms and liberties to attack.

Take over.

It is destructive. Now, in the same way, people shouldn't be attacking Muslim communities. Good business people, good people who want to become and are a part of this country, just like many in the Jewish community.

But there is a difference between that and the Muslim Brotherhood and care. CAIR.

the council of ⁓ american islamic relations

an unindicted co-conspirator in one of the biggest cases in US history against radical Islamic terrorism years ago.

So there should be this international conference. The US should call it. Donald Trump should call it. And the commitment in this organization should be.

When radical Islamic terror takes action, we join together and take action against them. When anti-Semitic actions occur, we join together and make sure that justice is found.

and we show strength, we show that we are not going to cower, that this war of ideas, this war of values and a physical war, when it occurs, there will be a winner and there will be a loser, and we will win. We need to make that statement. And that war needs to be fought to an unconditional surrender, not to some sort of a

peace plan that allows radical Islam to continue and the scourge of it to continue and in fact grow and strengthen. That is what is happening right now. And for the next three years while Donald Trump is in office, they will quietly, under the radar, rebuild. And then when some feckless politician comes in afterwards, or worse yet, an anti-Semitic politician comes in next.

They will seize their opportunity because they will have been strengthened because we did not finish what we needed to finish like in World War II we did and then the denazification of Europe occurred. Yes, an ideology can be destroyed.

can be recognized for what it is, a scourge on civilized society.

And we can put radical Islamic terror in the same box as Adolf Hitler, the Nazis, the KKK. And what I mean by the same box is that when they come up, everyone, most everyone understands this is evil. We oppose this. We will not allow it to get any oxygen. It will remain.

an anathema to society with no support. No members of Congress. No support. Because we stand for something much brighter and bigger. I'm Andrew Parker.
