I and No Other

The tremendous achievements in Eretz Yisrael over the last century caused many of our people to believe that a secular redemption was all we needed. So why did the accompanying ideology fail?

It seems that the world is in a very sorry state. Earthquakes, wars, people fleeing for their lives, and oh yes, Covid is still here too, in case anyone forgot.

In Eretz Yisrael, another wave of terror, an internal war against the very meaning of Judaism, the country’s economy and security in worse shape than it’s been in years, and a government existing in its own bubble of arrogance. We seem to be facing a new world disorder as we prepare for the Seder.

And despite all its efforts at normalization, the State of Israel is still considered not quite legitimate, even in the eyes of other Western-style nations. For some reason, the longer it endures, the more doubt is cast in the international community on its right to exist. In every corner of the world, the local pundits keep asking when the State of Israel will finally disappear.
