Controversial post by the Israel Prize-winning philosopher: "The Jewish people whose face is not my Jewish people"


"The ultra-Orthodox mutation reveals a transition to the new way of life of the living minority at the expense of others, an economic parasite," writes today (Thursday) none other than Prof. Asa Kosher, who participated in the formulation of the IDF's code of ethics and won the Israel Prize for Philosophy. The words were written On Kosher's Facebook page. 

In the post, Kosher referred to the election results, according to which the right-wing bloc led by Netanyahu won a clear majority.

"A comment on the results of the Knesset elections. I am particularly interested in one image that was discovered in the elections that passed this week: the image of the face of the "Jewish people sitting in Zion", living in Israel. The image of the Jewish people, known to us from our childhood, from the education we received, from the life we ​​knew, from the stories we heard , is not the current character," Kosher wrote.

"Before us are two movements of the Jewish people:

"The ultra-Orthodox movement reveals a transition from the exiled way of life of the minority that lives its own life, keeps its guests and does not provoke the foreign rulers ("Dina Damalkuta Dina") to the new way of life of the minority that lives at the expense of The other is an economic parasite, a security dodger, deprived of civil responsibility, with no real respect for the democratic regime and its principles."

Kosher added that "the nationalist movement reveals a transition from the religious way of life to a life in which adherence to the principles of justice and fairness, honesty and compassion, out of fear of God, but in responsible human conduct ("the morals of the prophets" ) to a wild, malicious way of life, which sanctifies the land and controls itself with violence over its inhabitants, with methods that have no justice, no compassion, no morals, and more than any idol worship of the land, the people and its corrupt leadership."

According to Kosher, "The Jewish people whose face is not my Jewish people, is not the Jewish people that I wish to be named among my sons. I remain a person of Jewish origin. I will always be like that. My origin and my identity are the healthy Judaism that preceded the morbid mutations, The malignant, the rude and the repulsive, before our eyes.

"Any call for the unity of the people is in my eyes an invalid call, accidental or malicious, and you will never see me respond to it. The differences between me and my people are not marginal, differences that should be ignored from them for a higher purpose. On the contrary, these differences are important beyond measure, their expression is a higher purpose that deserves to be served now.
