What Should Israel’s Role Be in Light of the Israel-Hamas War?
Israel should serve as an example for humanity in how to treat and care for one another, and how to bring the world to a harmonious and peaceful life.
Many people currently think of this as an ugly idea, but it does not matter. What matters is that it is the truth.
How is it the truth? It is that the people of Israel were originally a formation of people from all walks of life, without any biological connections, and who followed the method of Abraham to reach a state of positive human connection above the divisive drives within the Babylonian society of that time, around 4,000 years ago. The achievement of such connection, a state of “love your neighbor as yourself,” led them to become “a light unto the nations.”
That is, when a critical mass of people unites above their divisions, they become a conduit for the unifying forces dwelling in nature to pass through them to others.
That is the example Israel needs to set: an example of positive human connection among all people. I am not talking about relations between armies or states, but among people.
