ONTARIO — Whether preventing a radical revolution to defend Judeo-Christian civilization, or experimenting with a socialist utopia, the Bible says Israel is to be “a light to the nations.” One Israeli author and commentator points out many of the challenges America now faces have parallels to the successes and failures Israel has already faced.
David Rubin is the former Mayor of Shiloh, Israel and Founder and President of Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund (SICF). His organization is dedicated to healing the trauma of child victims of terrorist attacks, as well as rebuilding the Biblical heartland of Israel through the children. Recently Rubin spoke at Sar Shalom Center to discuss his new book entitled “Confronting Radicals: What America Can Learn from Israel.”
“There is a radical plan to change the United States of America from a nation of traditional values of GOD, family, and hard work – to a neo-Marxist, gender and ethnically confused reality that sees the “land of the free” as an evil force in the world,” says Rubin.
As social justice warriors are trying to rewrite American history to divide the country, Rubin says Israel has learned to realize their leaders like King David, King Solomon, Theodore Herzl, and David Ben Gurion have all made mistakes.
“Many Jews learned hard and worked hard in early twentieth century during the years of discrimination. There was no need for rioting or the overthrow of values like we are seeing in America. It is interesting that as the Biden Administration is aiding the social justice movement, it is also funding the “pay to slay” program which financially supports the families of Palestinian terrorists who kill Israeli Jews.”
“It is not too late to stop the step by step revolution that the Secular Left has been organizing. We in Israel have learned certain lessons in the roller coaster ride that we call Jewish history, both from our successes in confronting the challenges, and from our mistakes. We need to keep in mind that there is nothing that cannot be reversed.”

As a nation of former slaves and exiles, Israeli Jews always emerged from darkness to light despite seeing disproportionate persecution, hardship, and death. Rubin points out the modern State of Israel had struggled for decades with its own brand of socialism, and continues to confront terrorist threats and propaganda warfare from radical Palestinians and their supporters on the Secular Left.
While Israel has not been exempt from the influences of the LGBT movement, Rubin says Israel as a whole is beginning to restore the traditional family.
“In Israel, there area more Jewish marriages than before and the birth rates of religious Jews have surpassed the Arab birth rates for the first time in recent memory. While American marriage and birth rates are plummeting, Israel is now following the Biblical mandate of being fruitful and multiplying. If the United States returns to the Bible, it too can regain its status and become a beacon to the world.”
Rubin says, “It is not too late to stop the step by step revolution that the Secular Left has been organizing. We in Israel have learned certain lessons in the roller coaster ride that we call Jewish history, both from our successes in confronting the challenges, and from our mistakes. We need to keep in mind that there is nothing that cannot be reversed.”

The Bottom Line:
Isaiah 49:6 says, “The LORD said to me, ‘I have a greater task for you, my servant. Not only will you restore to greatness the people of Israel who have survived, but I will also make you a light to the nations-so that all the world may be saved.”
