The previous posts
described how the lives of the Jewish communities, who were persecuted and humiliated
and that have constantly fought against the attempts to destroy them, led them
to see in the dedication to survive and to prove that the persecutors have
failed to destroy them, the most important goal of their lives.
Proving that
the Jews have survived in spite of everything, became the main essence of the
Jewish existence. This sacred cause allowed them to do everything. There
was no law, no moral and no limit to stand on the way.
This concept, naturally,
trickled into the perception of Israel as the Jewish state.
It was not the
case from the beginning. There was an attempt to draw a line over the Jewish
life in the Diaspora and start from fresh. Nevertheless, slowly and inevitably took
over the concept of being the ultimate answer to the Jews persecutors. This is
not a country unto itself, with laws and orderly government, but a means to
glorify the name of Judaism and the overwhelming evidence of its victory.
There are many
examples to this concept: the leaders of the country, the ruling party, the major
media and most people do not consider the establishment of the state and
ensuring its stability, as a goal in itself. Much more important is the "Judaism"
and ensuring its existence. All governmental procedures, a proper administration,
all attempts to build a fair and decent society - all were sacrificed on the
altar of "Judaism". Again, as I explained before the term
"Judaism" means the way in which the majority perceives the meaning
of: What it means to be Jewish.
I call this
obsession to show the Judaism enemies that we have survived: Anti-Anti-Semitism.
It is equivalent to the obsession of the Anti-Semites to eliminate the Jews and
it developed in parallel, hand-in-hand. Anti-Semitic obsession is seems less
and less, in the Western world. The Jewish Anti-Anti-Semitism obsession,
however, remained, at this stage, here and is threatening to destroy the
development of the State of Israel and bring to its disintegration.
