NatCon Is Here?!

A final word on the Global Prayer Event...

Glorification of Evil

On to the next chillul Hashem...

This flew under my radar.  It was going on at the same time as the Global Prayer Event.  This truly is another aspect of GoguMagog - all the nations have come up against Jerusalem at Sukkot time.

The National Conservatism Conference (NatCon) is the flagship gathering of an influential, anti-liberal right-wing movement known as the “New Right.” Launched in 2019, [founded and lead primarily by Yoram Hazony, an "Israeli-American"], the annual convention serves as an ideological melting pot where traditionalist conservatives, populist nationalists, Christian nationalists, and hard-right politicians unite. Their explicit goal is to shift the conservative movement away from standard "free market" libertarianism and globalism toward a focus on national sovereignty, strict border enforcement, and the preservation of Western cultural and religious traditions.

US, Israeli and European far-right figures to gather for conference in Israel

A National Conservatism (NatCon) conference beginning today [yesterday] in Jerusalem advertises a talk from the Trump administration’s anti-terrorism czar alongside speeches from far-right Israeli politicians, European figures who have faced disciplinary action over alleged antisemitism, and Christian nationalist and far-right figures from the United States.

The Jerusalem event is perhaps the most significant recent gathering to feature large contingents of Israeli nationalists alongside Christian nationalists and far-right European nationalists from a milieu sometimes shadowed by accusations of antisemitism.

...The conference runs from 6 to 8 October at Jerusalem’s International Convention Center.

Speaking at the National Conservatism Conference — or NatCon — in Israel on Tuesday, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told his audience that Israel “can and must bear a growing responsibility for its own security,” however, “I can and must show why the alliance with Israel is in America’s interests too.”

He seemed to hint at the Israeli government’s support for proposed U.S.-Israeli integration at the Pentagon, which would forge new contractual arrangements inside the military bureaucracy to accompany a phaseout of more controversial direct aid from Congress. “Israel recognizes the American friendship and support it received over the years but it’s precisely because of that the time has come to deepen the alliance, to move from dependence to partnership between two independent nations.”

In “rare cases,” he added, the two nations may have to “fight shoulder to shoulder” against a “common enemy, as we saw this year in Iran.” (Source)

At the same time all this was going on...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech in Greece on Wednesday, calling for a renewal of Western civilization and urging U.S. allies to stand together against what he describes as the decline of the West.

Rubio delivers urgent plea to save Western Civilization
(Start at 1:19 and remember he is speaking of those who subjugated us in a third exile)
