THE FIGHT FOR WESTERN CIVILIZATION
America and the Path Forward
Hard Questions on Immigration, Education, and Anti-Semitism
February 24–25, 2026 | Washington, DC
Sponsored by: Culture for Peace Institute
This two-day conference addresses existential threats to Western Civilization and religious survival through unflinching analysis and actionable solutions. We ask the hard questions others avoid: Can universities be saved? Should Third World immigration be restricted? Have legacy organizations failed? Can Jew-hatred in the Muslim world actually end? Did the Abraham Accords survive or make a difference? Is there hope for the Fourth Estate? Did social media forever change our world?
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
DAY ONE: February 24, 2026
DOMESTIC THREATS & SOLUTIONS
Introduction by Martin Oliner, Founder, Culture for Peace Institute, Keynote Address by TBD.
How did American universities become institutions teaching students to hate their own country? From “intifada” chants at Harvard to DEI bureaucrats outnumbering faculty, we examine the crisis: 50% less study time since the 1960s, grade inflation epidemic (45% A’s vs. 15% historically), only 33% of budgets going to instruction.
Does it make sense to educate our adversaries in the CCP? 40% of Columbia students are foreign nationals. Shouldn’t scarce university spots be reserved for Americans? Potential solutions include capping foreign students at 5–10% (American Students First Act), STEM-only federal aid to defund grievance studies (RESCUE Act), and tenure reform.
Panelists: TBD
Can 53 million foreign-born residents assimilate? Can Islam integrate into liberal democracy when second-generation radicalization can exceed first? Can the Muslim community become part of America’s melting pot?
We examine Trump's framework for culturally compatible immigration, Western Civilization compatibility tests, denaturalization for undermining domestic tranquility, and a potential three-pronged legal strategy to make it stick:
(1) universal pause under 8 USC 1182(f) justified by 70% asylum fraud and $109B welfare cost,
(2) injunction bonds requiring tens of millions from activist plaintiffs, and
(3) rescinding delegations so the DHS Secretary must personally sign all green cards.
Simultaneously, we watch as European “civilizational erasure” proceeds through migration and censorship (UK arrests for tweets), government weaponization against citizens under “deradicalization” pretexts, and attacks on sovereignty by transnational organizations (e.g., see Nov. 2025 National Security Strategy Document).
Panelists: TBD
The 1619 Project pipeline runs from elementary school to campus radicalism. Parents are discovering CRT and anti-American curriculum while being denied transparency about what their children are taught.
Solutions include school choice legislation, curriculum transparency laws, a Heroes of Liberty book series patriotic education initiative, elimination of DEI bureaucracy, and restoration of competence and merit.
Hard questions: Is Western Civilization superior? Is it racist to say so? Is demographic replacement real?
Panelists: TBD
Legacy organizations (ADL, AJC, Federations) claim to fight anti-Semitism but Jewish students face unprecedented hostility on campus and Jews flee European cities.
What are the metrics of success and failure? We examine new models that work: Jewish education programs, litigation strategies (Privacy Act, Title VI), campus legal support, and data-driven approaches measuring actual results.
Panelists: TBD
DAY TWO: February 25, 2026
ISRAEL, ANTI-SEMITISM & THE MUSLIM WORLD
Country-by-country assessment with data not anecdotes: Desecration of Jewish cemeteries in Eastern Europe, Western Europe's Muslim immigration driving Jewish exodus from France, England etc., Muslim-majority countries' state sponsored hatred, Latin America's Iranian influence.
Who is actually attacking Jews? We examine root causes: religious animus (Quranic verses, Christian deicide charge), campus radicalization (faculty complicity, foreign-funded activism, TikTok), education systems (Palestinian textbooks glorifying terrorism), political scapegoating, and media algorithms.
Is anti-Zionism always anti-Semitism?
Panelists: TBD
Deputy Secretary Landau identified the glaring inconsistency: when European countries wear NATO hats, they claim Transatlantic cooperation is a cornerstone of mutual security. But when they wear EU hats, they pursue agendas utterly adverse to US interests.
Are these countries worth saving when their Western values seem to have disappeared?
Panelists: TBD
The Abraham Accords represent historic breakthroughs, but can they endure? We examine fundamental obstacles: leadership sustainability (will peace survive when pragmatic leaders like MBS leave power?), educational barriers (textbooks still teach the Protocols of Elders of Zion), theological obstacles (can Islamic interpretation accept a permanent Jewish state, and who has authority to decide?), economic interdependence vs. popular hostility (are elites normalizing while populations remain opposed?), the Iran factor (can peace exist while Tehran funds proxies?) Can we foster genuine change or only temporary tactical accommodation?
Panelists: TBD
What should be the next steps? What specific solutions can we pursue to protect the cultural integrity of the West?
Panelists: TBD
Martin Oliner, Founder, Culture for Peace Institute introduces high-profile Administration official TBD.
FORMAT: All panels include Q&A. “Hard questions” sessions encourage honest dialogue on topics usually avoided. No virtue signaling. Evidence-based analysis with actionable solutions. Chatham House Rule available for sensitive discussions.
