This War Isn’t What You Think | Dr Mordechai Kedar

Dr Mordechai Kedar explains why this war was never about borders, land, or politics — and why misunderstanding that fact has led the world dangerously astray. For years, the conflict involving Israel has been framed as a border dispute. A disagreement over territory. A political problem that can be solved with concessions, negotiations, or redrawn maps. Dr. Kedar dismantles that narrative — piece by piece. This war is not political. It is ideological. And at its core, it is religious. In this conversation, Dr. Kedar explains how radical Islamist ideology views Jews, Christians, Israel, and the West — and why Israel’s very existence is seen not as a policy issue, but as a theological threat that must be eliminated. He walks through: • Why the conflict did not begin in 1967 — or even 1948 • Why Israel is viewed as illegitimate regardless of borders • How jihad operates far beyond terrorism, through media, economics, academia, and migration • Why civilian casualties and destruction are not deterrents in this worldview • How Israel functions as the front line, not the final target Dr. Kedar also explains why the West repeatedly misreads this war — projecting its own political log
