A (Levantine) Jewish and Democratic State

Levantinism can provide a conceptual space to connect those torn between the two binary worlds: one liberal, individualistic, achievement-oriented and competitive, attributing supreme importance to self-fulfillment via the pursuit of happiness; and the other, a world that favors collectivism, communal life, and cultural identification.

Religiously-observant people who see democratic values as a threat are doubly mistaken: They are leaving democracy to manipulative forces that understand democracy’s mission to be one of antireligious secularization.
