Concerning the understanding of the Israeli/Gaza war. One needs to understand this in an ethical perspective. Why? Because the aim of israel, Israel is supposed to be the light upon the Nations. Which essentially means an ideal.

So, how can we understand this idea about being the “light upon the nations”?

We should see it as a constructive as well as ethical question.

How is the structure of Israel, and how do we fare in terms of ethics.

Already Israel IS and ideal society. The democratic structure is impressive. New parties are easy to make, the law giving system really works. It’s blind to race or ethnicity. If you are an Arab citizen, you receive the same rights as anyone.

The educational system is top notch. And the social system is very good. Medical facilities are best in the world and the military is far more powerful than one would expect from such a small nation.

The religious community is extremely positive, caring for the poor and philosophizing about the ethics of the world. All fine.

Then how come we are not the ideal society for many people around the world?

Because of the ethics of the actions of Israel.

Let me explain. There is an economy to a conflict. If one does a certain evil or destructive action to someone. That other part earns points in the conflict.

Why is Israel without any sympathy in the way world. It is because the points earned after the 7th October is spent and WE are the bully.

That is the effect of keeping up the war.

We loose sympathy.

G-d bless the will to be realistic and honest in understanding of how the mechanics of the world really work. G-d bless the future of Israel.
