A War for Survival: Can Israel Learn to Live With Endless Conflict?
מלחמת קיום
Summary
This Israeli op-ed grapples with the psychological and philosophical cost of living in a state of permanent existential conflict. The author argues that it is deeply difficult to accept the idea that Israel will always live by the sword, particularly in an age of artificial intelligence and technological mastery where people expect every problem to have a definitive solution. The piece challenges Israeli society to come to terms with a reality where absolute security may never be achievable.
