So we are kind of a standalone island, totally disconnected from the region, refusing to get connected.
When normalization was offered to us only two, three years ago, it was a threat.
We never dwelled into the strategy, what should be our relationship with the region?
So much so,
that in a way we resemble a lot the kingdom of Jerusalem of the Crusades.
Foreigners coming from the outside, circling ourselves with a kind of a self-siege wars,
and never integrate.
It is not right because there were interaction between the regional Muslims at the time and the Christians at the time.
But nonetheless, the kingdom as a political entity never wanted to be part of the region.
After 200 years, it expired.
The state of Israel...
born out of the ashes of the Holocaust for sure, but earlier on was born out of the nation state idea of getting secular Europe with its solutions to its national groupings,
came to the Middle East, which is not part of the nation-state thinking, didn't go through the processes of secularization and revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, the American Revolution, the British Revolution, never went through them in order to get where we are today, and therefore didn't find any hooks to get connected.
So we lost our Western...
And we never seeded enough in order to grow to be part of the local fauna.
So we are isolated.
Okay.
As they used to say at the time, the woman who made Milwaukee famous.
We love it.
We admire it.
