Rupert Murdoch: I am not Jewish but...
Remarks by Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corporation, upon receiving the American Jewish Committee's National Human Relations Award.
In the West, we are used to thinking that Israel cannot survive without the help of Europe and the United States. Tonight I say to you: Maybe we should start wondering whether we in Europe and the United States can survive if we allow the terrorists to succeed in Israel.
[T]he "West" is no longer a matter of geography. The West is defined by societies committed to freedom and democracy. And if we are serious about meeting this challenge, we would expand the only military alliance committed to the defense of the West to include those on the front lines of this war. That means bringing countries such as Israel into NATO.
My friends, I do not pretend to have all the answers this evening. But I do know this: The free world makes a terrible mistake if we deceive ourselves into thinking this is not our fight.
