Recent riots in France are presented as a stark warning to Israel, suggesting that nations which abandon their national identity in favor of left-wing values risk self-destruction. The article argues that France's current turmoil is a symptom of a deeper issue: a left-wing ideology prioritizing immigration and "global" values over national identity, a policy championed by figures like President Emmanuel Macron.
This approach, the author contends, is a "pseudo-moral" and arrogant assumption that strong nations can blur their borders and national character without consequence. The article draws a parallel to Israel, particularly in the lead-up to elections, suggesting that some are willing to compromise the country's Jewish character to change the government. Unlike France, however, the Jewish people have no other homeland, and history has shown the dire consequences of losing it.
The piece criticizes specific Israeli politicians and their stances, such as Yair Golan's call to remove religion from public spaces, and Bennett and Lieberman's opposition to the Haredi public. It also mentions Gadi Eisenkot's proposal to allow 150,000 Gazans daily entry to Israel for work, framing these as dangerous positions that undermine the Jewish character and security of the state.
Furthermore, the article links potential Israeli coalition-building with Arab parties like Mansour Abbas's and reliance on the Joint List as further evidence of a left-wing agenda prioritizing the removal of Prime Minister Netanyahu and the right-wing government at the expense of Israel's identity as a Jewish state. This is juxtaposed with international pressure from European countries, including France, Britain, Belgium, and Spain, for the recognition of a Palestinian state and the cession of Judea and Samaria to "terrorist movements."
The author asserts that the connection of the Jewish people to the land is an ancestral right, predating any international body, and warns that relinquishing territory is akin to erasing this right. The article concludes by emphasizing that Israel is the Jewish people's only home and cannot be taken for granted, urging vigilance against internal erosion that could lead to its demise, as has happened to other nations and Jewish communities throughout history.
