The narrative begins with a Muslim scholar’s perspective that the presence of Israelis in Israel is not a result of historical justifications such as the Holocaust, but rather a manifestation of divine Providence. This acknowledgment reframes the Israeli-Palestinian relationship, suggesting that coexistence requires mutual recognition of a higher intention.
For the Muslim world and Palestinians (referred to collectively as Ishmael), accepting the idea of Providence underlying Israel’s existence could transform debates into meaningful dialogue. This recognition would also require Israelis to understand their presence as part of a divine revelation, rather than a historical entitlement, fostering a shared space rooted in higher spiritual purpose.
The Kibbutz Experiment
The text draws a parallel between this dynamic and the kibbutz movement in Israel, which embodied an attempt to create a society based on collective bestowal. The kibbutz is described as an experiment close to the spiritual ideal of selflessness, where individuals cared for one another, freeing them from personal survival concerns and enabling focus on the collective good.
However, the kibbutz ultimately failed because it was not anchored to a higher spiritual purpose. Without this connection, the movement collapsed into self-serving agendas and authoritarianism, demonstrating the inherent fragility of systems that lack alignment with divine bestowal.
The Root of Failure in Human Systems
This failure extends beyond the kibbutz to other human systems, including democracy. Without tying themselves to a higher spiritual root, these systems inevitably collapse under the weight of self-interest and personal agendas. The lesson here is that any revelation, whether social, psychological, or ideological, that does not connect to a higher spiritual purpose will eventually implode, unable to sustain itself.
