"Against four sons the Torah spoke: one wise and one wicked, and one innocent, and one who does not know how to ask."
And just as in every generation we are obligated to see ourselves as if we came out of Egypt, we are obligated to revive the Haggadah for its deep, educational messages, also in our generation.
That is why the four sons are prototypes for people in every generation, even today.
But in order to catalog, we must understand in depth the essence of the various boys.
Opposite evil is not the righteous, but the wise (the problem is that the wise also face those who do not know how to ask and the innocent, to teach you that wisdom is not necessarily in the majority ...).
And while evil and righteousness are illogical, wisdom is.
She analyzes the "testimony", the testimonies from history, and learns from them.
Evil is the one who denies all these and does not let reality confuse him.
The analysis of this evidence has rules.
Because in our history, lawfulness rules, and it is precisely metaphysical lawfulness: experimental lawfulness, above the laws of nature, above physics, above logic.
And this is the logic of the history of the people of Israel.
And the wicked have no power to control it, because in spite of everything, and in spite of the wicked within us, we are saved time and time again.
Who are the wicked of our generation?
Perhaps the Ofer Casifim and Yair Golan, whose difference is microscopic.
Those whose eyes are blinded by hatred.
Those who speak of "settler violence" as an existential danger to the State of Israel (although according to statistics published in Makor Rishon last weekend, settler violence figures are much lower than violence anywhere else in the country);
Those who call the settlers "subhumans" are wicked.
Those who feed our enemies in justifying terrorism against us as a legitimate act, those who formulate the arguments of Holocaust deniers, of the boycott front, of haters of Israel, those who say "what is this settlement for you, what is this land for you."
Whoever does so excludes himself from the rule and is mostly an infidel.
Anyone who does not protest the police violence against settlers in Amona deserves to have their teeth brushed.
Had he been there, in the Straits of Egypt - he would not have been redeemed.
And who is innocent in our generation?
Amar Bar-Lev, for example.
One such that when he opens his mouth we cringe in embarrassment.
He is not evil, I believe that deep down he does not want the Arabs to defeat us.
And who does not know how to ask?
They are seemingly intelligent, but do not know how to ask the right questions and therefore do not get answers, which creates a distorted and missing reality for them.
There are those who are afraid to ask the questions, because then the answers will oblige them to action.
Defense Minister Bnei Gantz is like that.
And in his actions he joins the evil, suffocating the settlement and not allowing it to continue to flourish, endangering Jews as he opens axes for terrorists, making generous gestures in honor of Ramadan, destroying hills.
"With the strength of a hand we have taken out," strength not only towards the Egyptians, but also towards the wicked and innocent, some of whom deliberately sabotage and some of them because of the limitations of their consciousness.
The imbalance in the division into these four prototypes sometimes leads to a situation in which the sage is faced with a coalition of three, and he is obliged to deal with it, because otherwise he will be lost.
And he faces and wins every time again.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
