In an international context marked by growing tensions in the Middle East and a fierce dispute over political and cultural models, President Javier Milei once again positioned himself firmly on the global stage by ratifying his defense of capitalism, life and Western values. During a dissertation at the University of Bar-Ilan, in Israel, the Argentine president not only received an Honoris Causa doctorate, but he also displayed a profoundly ideological discourse, in which he questioned Marxism and its main exponent, Karl Marx. In front of an audience full of students and special guests, Milei was applauded standing and made his views on the global conflict clear: “With certain cultures we are not going to be able to live together. Because we defend life and they are going to want to kill us,” he said, referring to the war involving Israel and the United States against Iran. In this framework, it also reaffirmed its alignment with leaders such as Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, differentiating itself from

It's not a rhetorical accusation, it's a description of the worldview that is at the root of the system
,” he emphasized.The President even quoted excerpts attributed to those writings: “Soon I will embrace eternity and will cast gigantic curses against humanity”, a phrase that, according to his interpretation, would reflect a profound rejection of traditional values. He also referred to “the anagram of Emmanuel, the biblical name of Christ, as a hymn to destruction and hatred against the creator”, reinforcing his thesis on the
spiritual nature of ideological conflict.Along these lines, Javier Milei argued that Marxism not only implies an economic error, but also a moral worldview opposed to Judeo-Christian values. “That worldview generates a set of moral values that are the exact opposite of Judeo-Christian values. The values of collectivism are envy, hate, resentment and unequal treatment before the law,” he said, in a speech that combined economics,
