Why does the world need Israel?

Beyond its distinction as a leading innovator, often hailed as the 'startup nation' in fields spanning science, technology, agriculture, and defense, Israel's global significance is more crucial now than ever.

This urgency becomes strikingly evident in the ongoing Israel-Hamas War, where Hamas terrorists claimed the lives of hundreds of innocent Israelis, prompting Israel's retaliatory actions and the subsequent declaration of war.

Setting aside the intricate historical complexities of the conflict, it is evident that conventional peace settlements or UN-sponsored solutions, akin to the situation between India and Pakistan, cannot bring about resolution.

At its core, this conflict transcends mere territorial disputes or religious obligations concerning sacred sites. It represents an enduring clash of civilizations.

Drawing inspiration from Samuel P. Huntington’s concept of the "clash of civilizations," this conflict is not just a theoretical notion.

It stands as a defining moment in history, comparable to the fall of the Roman Empire, the extinction of the Incas, the decline of Chinese civilization, or the millennium-long struggle against Sanātana Dharma.

History teaches us that conflicts tend to conclude when one civilization assimilates the other, leading to a mental extinction rather than outright annihilation.

The term "consumed" underscores this point, emphasizing the victory of assimilation in civilizational wars, unlike conventional warfare where annihilation signifies victory.

In the context of Israel, as one of the last bastions of the old order, which is also integral to Sanatan Dharma, its survival is vital. It is akin to preserving the roots of a plant, for what is a plant without its roots?

Beyond geopolitical or geoeconomic perspectives, the survival of Israel is crucial for the world.

It ensures that a unique tapestry of history, culture, and civilization endures, continuing to narrate its tale amidst the complexities of our contemporary world.
