"What can Israel learn from the success of the American social contract," asked Stenger?
It learned plenty already. It replicated it since the 1980s. Israelis are plagued by the same dynamic harming America.
Their political leaders don't give a damn about ordinary people. They target, abuse and neglect those most vulnerable.
What best can be learned from America is go another way. Social, political, and economic reactionary policies define both countries.
Stenger is right saying "as long as one group is treated as second-class, all Israelis will continue to feel threatened in their honor and integrity."
Too bad Israeli leaders don't feel the same way. It goes double for US ones. Humanity waited much too long to exhale.
Doing so depends on ending the real existential threat humanity faces. Prioritizing it rises above all other issues.
