The true purpose of Zionism
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
The purpose of Zionism is not “simply” to have a country where Jews can protect themselves.
The purpose of Zionism is to reestablish a Nation of Israel on the Land of Israel in order to finish not only the physical exile but to finish our “spiritual exile” as well.
This means rebuilding our original “supernatural” — above the inherently selfish, egoistic, exploitative, and hateful human nature — unity and mutual guarantee that can give us similarity with reality’s single governing and operating force.
Jews and the Nation of Israel were not supposed to be “just another nation.” We were not supposed to build the modern State of Israel on “Western values” or on any other values humanity has invented and developed through millennia.
Jews and the Nation of Israel are supposed to become the shining and positive example to everybody else on how to build a Human society that is similar to and integrated with nature through “nature-like” mutually responsible and mutually complementing cooperation and coexistence.
This requires a special method so we can learn and practice how to foster “brotherly” love above and despite the constantly erupting instinctive “unfounded hatred” between us.
We have the method through which we have to build and publicize this kind of “Jewish life system” and existence to everybody else.
This is the true purpose of Zionism. And the best self-protection is fulfilling our obligatory evolutionary role and becoming the positive leaders for the rest of the world.
