Here are two must read articles which, when taken together, speak to our national spirit.
The phenomenon of assimilation in Chutz L’Aretz is to be like everyone else; to conform, to “melt” and thus, more often than not, it leads toward mixed-marriage.
In Israel, the tendency toward assimilation on a national level — “a nation like all other nations,” lends itself to political correctness and negation of the uniqueness of Jewish nationhood. This political correctness squashes Jewish nationalism and our ages-long unseverable link with Eretz Yisrael. It is this political assimilation which leads to perverted pre-occupation of thousands of Israel’s police and soldiers with persecuting and expelling Jews as Israeli road-carnage continues, crime continues unanswered and Arab terror attacks are rampant on the roads, in Jerusalem’s Old City, via Kassams from Gaza, etc. infinitum. Not to mention the war plans and preparations of Hamas (read PA), Hezbollah and Syria.
