An important and very productive cultural and scientific center has been created in Israel, relative to other countries with a population of about ten million, but for some reason Israelis are also characterized by imitative provincialism and are looking to America in vain.
It was therefore clear that we would be delayed in a fashionable fashion delay until the destructive wave of American "culture of annihilation" arrived in Israel - from overthrowing statues of the nation's fathers to developing an innovative but unfounded historical theory, which enslaved all of America's material and cultural wealth.
The Tel Aviv Municipality, headed by Huldai, canceled the favorite fireworks of the city's residents during the last Independence Day, as did quite a few other cities.
Minister of Culture Trooper also canceled them at the beacon ceremony.
Lag B'Omer bonfires have just been canceled in many places in Tel Aviv. The innocent picnics of the school children and the collection of planks have been postponed before. Protecting the environment from burning pollutants.
But for these matters, even for the pain of the warriors, there are solutions that do not necessarily disable joy and damage a beloved tradition.
What is important to see here is that cancellation is the immediate solution.
Very quickly the celebration is canceled, lest someone be harmed.
Walking on tiptoe in some general guilt seeking an object for itself.
And in the end, the object is our own joy of existence, our simple vitality, expressed in the lovable and quirky phrase "the people of Israel are alive" - alive and happy in spite of everything, with all the historical depth that this innocence has.
There is a growing trend of eliminating the bone of social joy.
One lecturer at Tel Aviv University diagnoses illness, no less, in people whose hearts are waving the waving Israeli flag.
She expresses quite a few lip curves in academia.
People like her revolt against the simple love of the people and the country.
To them, it is a collaboration with evil.
Since we are in their opinion a sinful and oppressive society, it is our duty to tear a tear in the garment.
Of course we must not rejoice.
At the end of every sentence we must be an Arab with a hookah, and we must look down at him and ask him to forgive us.
Tel Aviv is leading a "culture of cancellation" in the wake of the overthrow of the statues in the United States, on the way to storming the signs of Israeli life one after the other. Innocent and "collective" joy, Rahmana Letzelen, and a strong desire for "reforms" and relentless redesign.
In fact, the culture of cancellation began here 40 years ago, in the 1980s.
A post-Zionist denial of the foundations of the Israeli ethos then spread, which at the time would also have come from the "West."
But it was a fundamentally academic phenomenon, of high culture.
It had little effect on the general public.
We already have enough time for its academic judgment, and in the last 20 years post-Zionism's failure to provide comprehensive and valid explanations for the processes that have shaped Israel's society, economy and culture beyond its shallow labeling as "colonialism", "militarism" or "fascism" has been exposed.
Post-Zionism was nothing but an uneven flow at the level of critical comments on the founding processes.
Most are obsolete and do not hold water.
It had, unfortunately, a lasting effect on the so-called "Zionist left."
It was stripped of its core values and became helpless both to the anti-Zionist left and to the right.
Now we see a different erosion move - not in the high culture but in the popular one, in which the main power of Israel lies.
What is this joy to you, we are repeatedly asked in frustration.
To this trend, to try to fold our knees, we must resist with all force.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
