Violent Neighbors: October 7 and the Battle for the Soul of the West, (Paperback)

<b>Eye-opening stories and sharp cultural insights from the producer of <i>The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill</i>--revealing what we stand to lose when the Judeo-Christian tradition that gives the values we hold most dear is under threat.</b> <p>When Hamas launched its horrific attack on October 7th, many were shocked--not just by the violence, but by how deeply hatred for Israel spread through elite institutions, media, and social platforms worldwide. </p><p>In <i>Violent Neighbors</i>, journalist and cultural commentator Mike Cosper dives into this unsettling backlash, revealing it's about more than antisemitism--it's a rejection of the Judeo-Christian values that shaped Western civilization. </p><p>Tracing this contempt through history, Cosper shows how extreme left and right movements echo dangerous, destructive forces from the past. But this book isn't about despair. It's about why these traditions, with their honest view of human nature and freedom, still matter--and why antisemitism is often the first warning sign of society's breakdown.<br>With clear-eyed reporting and powerful insight, <i>Violent Neighbors</i> challenges us to recognize what's at stake--and what's worth fighting for.</p>
