True democracy — above inherent human nature
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
It does not matter how many times people put the word “democracy” into an article; that does not make anything democratic.
An unelected, non-democratic organization going against a democratically elected government in order to preserve its own extraordinary and undeserved power in Israel’s decision-making is undemocratic.
Making this decision during the war, with the clear and obvious aim to destabilize the acting government, is undemocratic and also dangerous, we could say treacherous.
Israel’s governing system is just as undemocratic as the systems applied anywhere else in the world.
Democracy cannot function in unequal societies that are all built based on the inherently 100% egocentric, subjective, and exploitative human nature.
Democracy can only work — in an organic way — in a society that is built on the unique Jewish unity and mutual guarantee, where each member of society pledges to care for each and every other citizen as instinctively caring for one’s own sake and wellbeing.
This is something we need to achieve above and against our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and exploitative nature, for which we need the unique method our forefathers developed specifically for our most egotistic, narcissistic, and hateful generation.
Without rising above and acting against our inherent nature, we are just lying to everybody and ourselves, and we keep self-destructing since we do everything only for our own sake at the expense of others!
