Because there has always been this debate over whether (Theodor) Herzl\u2019s Jewish state is the state of the Jews or whether it\u2019s the Jewish state?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s both,\u201d Netanyahu answered. \u201cIt\u2019s both. The main thing about the Jewish people is they\u2019re a collective body, a nation, if you will, but also a religion. You have religions, with a lot of states, a lot of nations, like Catholicism, there are many countries that are predominantly Catholic. And you have a lot of countries that are multiple, have many religions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut in the case of the Jewish people, the identity of the Jewish people is intertwined between national identity and religion,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s really, in many ways, inseparable \u2014 you do separate it to a certain extent \u2014 but it\u2019s an interplay of these two factors, and you balance them out and you maintain both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for me, it\u2019s a continuous miracle,\u201d he asserted. \u201cI have to tell you, I mean, I can explain it rationally. I come from a very rationalist tradition. My father was the editor of the Hebrew encyclopedia, which was, every family had it, not every family, but a lot. And so the rationalist approach explains a good part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it doesn\u2019t explain all of it,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cBecause you still cannot believe, it\u2019s hard to believe that the people that lost its land was spun around the nations, became powerless \u2026 was massacred, expelled, murdered, brutalized \u2014 and ultimately, under the Holocaust, the worst crime committed in the history of humanity \u2014 that right afterwards, they were able to amass their collective will and build the state in their ancient homeland and become \u2014 according to the University of Pennsylvania annual poll that they do among 20,000 opinion leaders in the world \u2014 the eighth most powerful country in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re 1\/10 of 1% of the world\u2019s population,\u201d he marveled. \u201cThe countries above us are a billion people, hundreds of millions of people. And we\u2019re nine million people and we ranked eighth in the world, and that is not only \u2014 there\u2019s more than a rationalist triumph here: it\u2019s the triumph of the spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded with a passionate declaration: \u201cI\u2019ll tell you what it is. It\u2019s a triumph of faith.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a powerful and moving hour-long conversation with Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro, Benjamin Netanyahu, the longest-serving prime minister in the history of Israel, who is poised to return in the elections scheduled for the fall, spoke passionately about his people, his nation, and the miraculous fact that the Jewish state was reborn after &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1605336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1605032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1605032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1605032"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1605032\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1605336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1605032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1605032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1605032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
