oatmealWill Zionism eat itself? On Zionism's inherently self-destructive nature (and Islam as an inspiration for what will replace it)
Following #Israeli unprovoked attack on Iran, Rabbi Daniel Sagron published an article on the religious website "Srugim" declaring "the end of secular Zionism's historical role", calling for the establishment of a Sanhedrin to replace Israeli courts and govern according to Torah law.
[...] "The people of Israel have taught humanity in recent days what 'turn from evil' means – how to destroy absolute evil in an absolute manner. Now the next task of the people of Israel is to teach what 'do good' means – how to build a society that takes from Islam the total commitment to God's word and will, but takes from the West morality and progress, freedom and science. This combination, which Rabbi Sacks described so beautifully in his book 'The Great Partnership,' is the main purpose of the people of Israel, it is the reason for the existence of the safe haven that it established in the heart of the Middle East."
Drawing on Rabbi Kook's writings, Sagron argued that secular Zionism completed its mission of creating a safe haven for Jews, and called for establishing a #Sanhedrin to replace Israeli courts, so Jews can live according to Torah law.
Drawing inspiration from #Islam, Sagron wants to turn Israel into a theocratic dictatorship. He later published a clarification stating he envisions demographic changes naturally leading to religious majority rule, rather than forced implementation. Secular lifestyles would be permitted in private homes, he says.
A call to establish a Sanhedrin to replace Israeli courts and govern according to Torah law does parallel the concept of implementing religious law as the basis for state governance, similar to how #Sharia functions in some Islamic states. Both involve replacing secular legal systems with religious jurisprudence derived from sacred texts and religious interpretation.
I guess Christian Zionists who have devoted decades to supporting Israel might find it jarring to discover that their religious Zionist counterparts are instead looking to Islam for divine inspiration...
