Make me the 2000th.

Okay.

2000 was the end of the tale of secular Israel.

Israel of 48 was, as Bernie Sanders called it, socialist, but let's call it European-wise, social and democratic.

A very young democracy, but with a prospect to move on for a better, more developed democracy and very secular.

Israel of today is democracy in deficit in a good day, harsh capitalists to the level of libertarian anarchy almost sometimes, and very religious.

So Israel of 2026 is not Israel of 48, not Israel of 67, and not Israel of 2000s.

Different society, different leadership, different rhetorics, different ethos and pathos.

And the real struggle today between the political forces

Yes, it's very personal.

My personality, your personality, my leader, your leader.

Okay, that's granted.

We have it in every political system.

Imagine politics with no ego.

So boring.

Okay, God forbid.

So thank God we have some ego left.

But the undercurrent is the warming cold war between religion and politics, between the Jewish and the democratic.

That's the real deep struggle.

Will Israel by the end of the road will be Jewish religious that their religion is defined by this kind of people?
