Ok, let’s have a look on the current development in the political sphere.
My last book “Eden” seems to have an impact on the whole “post war” discussion in Israel. How do we make sure, that Israelis do not divulge into pit fights, and the unity that was created in the aftermath of 7’th October, how do we keep that movement going.
It comes down to knowledge of the virtues of the state; justice, wisdom, enlightenment and love or solidarity.
To get the different arms of the state to work better will propel the state of Israel to be on a more well functioning mode.
We have to work on our legal system, make it more just, on our scientific institutions, make them more enlightening, also media has to be serving the light, if it has to work.
I know that my point of departure is mainly Platonic, yet the sources of Plato are the same as all the Jewish legal debate principle. There is some difference in some of the principles, yet the basic point, that the legal system is a tool of justice is the same in Jewish law as in platonic law and there is off cause room for discussion.
We HAVE to be better at the state implementing just, fair and morally clean solutions because that is the problem, at least seen from a platonic perspective, that we are moving into an age of moral corruption, and we need to pulling out bootstraps up, to make the state work again.
This goes for politics as well, we need good servants of the state to be at the head of the states. People who put their country above themselves and SERVE.
In the UK Mr. Starmer has had a brilliant start on the whole debate, and it seems to me, that the UK can be a serious renaissance leader with Mr. Starmer. Mr. Starmer is talking about the positive impact of being a good servant, serving good. So the UK could be a world leader in politics. He has had a good start.
This feeds into the EU debate. Instead of seeing the nation states as competitors see them as something that the federal level should work with and for.
The cleaner the commission gets morally, the better it can be a positive partner. All the secrecy, the lack of transparency and so on must be worked on, to be an example.
So, focus on GOOD.
G-d bless the will to serve the littlelest in our societies.
