We can’t blame each other; we all have to correct ourselves!

An article in The Jerusalem Post:

My comment:

While there is a lot of truth about the ultra-Orthodox having a negative influence on Israeli society, putting the blame solely on their shoulders is unfair and unjust.

Let’s take the so-called “liberal left,” whose hysterical demonstrations and urging soldiers not to serve under the present government at least indirectly lead our enemies to believe that they can attack us since we are weak.

Even now, while the country is fighting an existential war on multiple fronts, the “liberal left” is using the families of the hostages as pawns for their own agenda of undermining the government and forcing the Nation to accept defeat and “peace” based on very unfavorable conditions.

The whole society we are to blame, as we are still blindly and instinctively following our inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and hateful nature.

Blaming each other and calling for correction and punishment against each other will not help.

Instead, we need to revive our own original Jewish method — we have to relearn — so we can build our crucially important mutual guarantee above and against everything that separates and rejects us from each other.

There is no other solution.
