Today’s world is grappling with a release of energy not seen since the likes of the industrial revolution, whereby there are climate changes – literal, technological, demographic, and geopolitical – of the first order that propel the world forward in on a trajectory of non-linear acceleration. We live in a fast, interdependent world where there is no “later”; “later is now.” In addition, the traditional left-right political grid is an anachronism, and must move to a more natural framework of an ecosystem, which is adaptive, diverse, networked, open, and non-dogmatic. Only a pluralistic ecosystem will survive in the face of these changes, and is the only resource and recourse to garner and maintain resilience and propulsion – in other words, to survive and to thrive. Empires succeeded in eras of mild climate change; in the contemporary era, weak states can only dissolve, and what every viable state actor must strive for in this world of massive climate change is resilience and propulsion. For its part, Israel must go from managing strength in its surrounding environment to managing the weakness of the engulfing region. Israel’s main security threat is not a conventional army, rather, the potential army of Arab and Muslim refugees.
