We do not need Hasbara!

An article in The Jerusalem Post:

Israel needs a new approach to ‘hasbara’ — opinion

My comment:

For God’s sake, forget about Hasbara!

Instead, spend all the money on proper Jewish education, one that can explain to all of us — secular, religious, all the different social and cultural elements in Israeli society — what the true, obligatory, and crucially important role of the Jewish Nation is in the world.

We do not need words; we do not need social media presence, we simply have to show a shining and overwhelming positive example of how an extremely diverse, argumentative, and “stiff-necked” people can live in unity, in absolute and unconditional mutual responsibility, above and against everything that tries to separate and reject Jews from Jews — without suppressing or erasing any of our individualities, uniqueness, and arguments.

This is a unity and mutual guarantee nobody else can achieve or has the method for.

This is a “supernatural” — above the inherently egocentric, selfish, and destructive human nature — unity, our “Jewishness” and nationality were established upon starting with Abraham until the destruction of the Second Temple.

This unique Jewish unity — we ourselves also have to relearn and implement again — is the only way the cancer-like individual human beings can survive in reality’s fully integrated and mutually complementing living system.

This is what we have to show and publicize!
