Overcoming the Politics of Unreality
(JNS) Jonathan Spyer - In recent years, a transnational elite pursued a politics of unreality, based on the notion of the replacement of power and interest by a new world of "international law," universal human rights, a universal commonality of interests (making feasible the notion of mass immigration from vastly different cultures) and a taboo on the use of military force. Thanks to the efforts and sacrifices of generations, the Jewish state today stands as the military and economic superior of all its rivals, and therefore as a worthwhile and powerful ally in the eyes of those of its neighbors not hostile to it for religious or ideological reasons. Israel has the possession of statehood, a powerful military, a strong economy, and a durable national and religious ethos. An interesting by-product of the politics of unreality and, in particular, of its odd embrace and romanticization of the Muslim and Arab worlds - was an unbridled hostility to Israel and often to Jews on the part of its adherents.
