Dr. Koldorf argues that the October 7 attacks mark "the beginning of the end of wokeism."
He bases this prediction on what he describes as decades of failed Western leadership, beginning with a 2016 anecdote where European defense officials expressed frustration over their political leaders' "naivety" regarding border control and illegal immigration.
Koldorf contends that Western institutions have since doubled down on this naivety, ignoring the warnings of integrated immigrants (like German Muslims and Iranian emigrants) who fled the very tyrannical ideologies the West now seems to embrace. He criticizes universities for hosting extremists and leaders for dismissing crucial alliances, like the Abraham Accords, due to political bias.
He argues that the public is growing weary of the consequences of these policies: deteriorating public safety, economic strain, and the undermining of Western values. Koldorf uses the Elie Wiesel quote, "What begins with the Jews, never ends with the Jews," to frame the October 7 attacks as a turning point. He concludes by predicting that if there is no "reality check" from leadership, the West faces a "painful reckoning" or even a "Reconquista 2.0."
