Spengler: Israel Worships

David P. Goldman, who channels Oswald Spengler, writes a PJ Media column in which he reports Israelis becoming more religious as the rest of the developed world becomes less so. He is just back from two weeks there.

The religious have more children in Israel, as they do in the U.S. and elsewhere. However, I have to wonder if this "revival" isn't in some unfathomable way a reaction to Muslims becoming more religious? Alternatively, perhaps it reflects an increased sense of threat, of risk.

Whatever ... Israel marches to its own drummer, always has.
