The current problem with Israel is the fact that we have lost the memory of our place in the Middle East.
There is still memories in the Torah, Egypt, other peoples like the Philistines and the Phoenicians.
Yet, we do connect the dots. Lebanese are Phoenicians, still there, potential allies. Egypt is Egypt, an ancient and wise country.
The Arabs are still Arabs, and they are essentially family.
Not untill we internalize the place of Israel as it has always been, will we be at peace.
Everyone around us needs to feel that we find ourselves in our ancient roles as merchants and philosophers.
Only then will we have peace. Behaving like a bully, is not civilized.
G-d bless the will to UNDERSTAND the role of Israel. May we have peace.
