Why the West Turned Its Back on Israel So Quickly was a discussion with Eric Weinstein hosted by Ariel Whitman on The Western Spirit.

Description[edit]

Eric Weinstein joins Ariel Whitman to explain why Western sympathy for Israel after October 7th evaporated almost instantly — and how revolutionary movements, media strategies, and historical forces helped turn global opinion against Israel faster than ever before.

In this deep conversation, Eric explores how modern hybrid warfare isn’t just fought with weapons, but with perception, emotions, and shame. He warns that Israel’s success made it vulnerable, that the revolutionary left understands this war better than many governments, and that the death of civilians has become a media weapon in ways the world refuses to admit.

Topics discussed:

  • How the West abandoned Israel
  • Hybrid warfare and perception management
  • Hamas’ true strategy after October 7th
  • The revolutionary left’s alignment with terror
  • The collapse of moral clarity in the West
