Israel at a Moral Low Point - and Silence Is No Less Dangerous Than Violence
Nachman Shai, Ph.D., Dean, Taube Family Campus in Jerusalem
In Nachman Shai’s recent op-ed for Maariv, he writes that Israel is at a moral low point and warns that staying silent in the face of violence and hatred is also dangerous. He points to recent incidents, including an attack on a nun in Jerusalem and a minister celebrating with a cake shaped like a noose, as examples of growing moral problems in Israeli society. As elections approach, he calls for a focus not only on security, but also on basic values like justice, equality, and the belief that all people are created in the image of God.
