    "Netanyahu, in his latest trip to America, has launched public diplomacy within the framework of emphasizing “Judeo-Christian values” to compensate for the decline in support for Israel. But modernity is founded on rationality, social progress, tolerance, and science—not apocalyptic theology. Eclectic Zionism has historically been in tension with Christianity. The far right referenced by “Bibi” is rooted in white racism, not shared Judeo-Christian values. This is a Nazi-like project for domination, not a defense of the modern world!"

Today, just as the armed forces need reconstruction, the economy, education, the judiciary, and human capital also need deep reforms. Social and economic gaps, if left untreated, can also nullify military achievements."
