Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
An opinion piece asserts that Israelis, exemplified by their actions on a flydubai flight, possess an inherent sense of responsibility that leaders must now embody following the October 7th attacks. The author criticizes the current political focus on assigning blame and legalistic arguments, advocating instead for a deeper understanding of leadership accountability. This perspective draws on philosophical ideas and psychological research to argue that eroding national identity and trust through internal division poses a significant threat to Israel's existence.
