Are we seeing the revitalization of conservative civilization all over the world has been a massive backlash against globalization, its leftist leadership, and its anti-cultural liberal values, and it's just the beginning.

I'm Dr. Steve Turley. I believe the liberal globalist world is at its brink, and a new conservative age is rising.

Join me every day as we examine these worldwide trends, discover answers to today's toughest challenges, and together learn to live in the present in light of even better things to come.

This is Turley Talks.

The footage coming out of Gaza has been nothing short of staggering. Israeli defense forces have retaliated against the horrific Hamas-led attack against Israeli citizens with overwhelming and bewildering force, leaving nothing but complete devastation in its wake.

But are these scenes a glimpse of what's yet to come for an even wider conflict? Are we seeing the beginnings of nothing less than a very real outbreak of World War III? That's the very question we're going to answer in this video.

Again, it's me Dr. Steve, your patron professor, here to help you to think better so you can feel better in these absolutely crazy and turbulent times, so make sure to smack that bell and subscribe button.

Let's assess what's going on here, big picture between Hamas and Israel.

First and foremost, it's long been recognized that what we're seeing here between Hamas militants and Israelis is basically the latest chapter in the decades long blood feud.

Now, to be clear, that's not to morally equivocate one side with the other. It's simply a recognition that this is a region marked by a cycle of retaliatory violence with one ethnic people group seeking vengeance on another ethnic people group. That's all I mean by now.

One of the dynamics that's exacerbating this blood feud is what scholars call re-territorialization, and this is a process where as liberal globalism wanes and falls apart across the world, more and more populations reclaiming their cultural space.

And they're beginning to take action to protect that space from any remaining vestiges, other radically anti-cultural dynamics of transnational globalization.

It's the very same dynamic that we've been seeing in Africa of late, with all the coups that have been happening in the Sahel region, the latest, of course, being in Gabon.

What all of these nations have in common, Gabon, Niger, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, what they all have in common is that they were once French colonies.

And now they want to expunge any and all remaining French influence, particularly its political and economic influence from within their borders.

I remember calling this a process known as decolonization, but it's actually much bigger than that because it works the other way.

And that's what's so key to understanding what's happening between Hamas and Israel.

So for example, in Europe, more and more populations are reclaiming their cultural space, their land, their regions, their borders, their national sovereignty.

And in turn, they want to expel what they consider to be foreign influences that are threatening that cultural space.

So this explains the massive backlash against immigration that we're seeing, not just in Europe but in the United States as well.

So it's bigger than decolonization. It's more re-territorialization, more and more populations are reclaiming their regions, their cultural space.

This is why you're having a face-off between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
