It's incomprehensible why there's so much debate and mixing of terms, unless there's a political agenda. To the unusual question, "Is Judaism the ultimate source of Western civilization?", we categorically answer NO. Furthermore, the two have nothing to do with each other. The West, at least its founding tradition, draws from three sources: Roman Law, Classical Greek Philosophy (through Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas), and, of course, Christianity. Regarding the latter, we believe we have sufficient grounds to speak of a true Western culture (consistent with its founding tradition) where, after the Protestant Reformation, Catholicism was established, thanks to the Council of Trent. Ontologically, the common thread is clear. Anglo-Saxon countries, the USA in particular, have nothing Catholic, Roman, or related to Classical Philosophy. Children of the Enlightenment and mercantilism, they embraced the liberalism of the French Revolution and its Protestant Ethics. They are part of the Anglo-Zionist axis. They aspire to create a new theology, just as the Freemasons who founded their country desired.
As for Judaism, it has as much in common with the West as Buddha. It seems like a mockery. Those who denied and murdered the Son of God and whose objective is the destruction of Christianity (as the Talmud teaches) presume to establish themselves as pillars of the West. And there is much more to say. But the proposition of Christian Zionism is so absurd that we will leave it all to you. Perhaps that is why, dear colleague, the silence and lack of debate. No one questions the absurdity.
Before Christianity, there was no Western culture. Unless you're talking about the Roman Empire, or Greece and Hellenism. But neither of those has all the elements that constituted the West. In any case, I ask you: What is the West to you? And finally, answering the post's question, what does Judaism have to do with the West?
Hanseatic Nordlandia has nothing in common with the invading Judeo-Latin collusion. We go back to our Solar Polytheist Roots. More on www.Nordlandia.nl Greetings from Flanders, the South-West border of Nordlandia... Andre-Hans von Bremen.
"Disco eranle God-given universal otder". God -given - what God? Didn't Greeks had a multitude of gods? In order to posit "God-given" we must assume one universlal(monotheisteic) God. Right there we are going back to Judaism. A Greek Miracle? Yes Greece is all about mythology of endlessly worrying gods. They even i.ptegnate earthly women. This notion of the Greek miracle is already negates the main argument that the western civilization sprang from the many Greek gods and the unique warrior Pride. In Judaism there are no miracles - there is one good just moral ethical universal God that commands humans to live in accordance with this good just universal moral ethical laws. Thats it. It all comes from God, not from "unique", "proud" warriors- its not god-given decrees, its the "unique" humans supersedeng God. Its unique western man-warrior superior to everyone else and thus deserves world dominance- back to the west subsuming the world, other himans...the racial superiority. The "uniqueness " of the western man ....
Of course not - how can a "unique man warrior " could be the foundational concept of the Western civilization? That is a Direct negation of One Good Universal Just Ethical Moral Creator who is UNIQUE. On the other hand, if the "unique" Greek roman warrior IS the foundation, that would explain never ending wars and the insatiable lust for world dominance of the western culture.

The West was founded and peaked before Christianity even came on the scene.

Read Plato, friend.
No counter arguments?

There is no West without Hellenism. And the notion of the just, one God of Judaism was denied by them when they rejected the Messiah. Acts.
