Under all the tribalism and branding, it's physics.

There are centripetal and centrifugal forces in every society. Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.

Given our gut processes the energy, while our head processes the structure, there is a mental bias toward the structure, which is the centripetal.

So unless we allow ourselves to surf out across the various vortices, gravitational wells, we get sucked into the particulars. Israel cannot escape that centripetal vortex, because it is inherent to monotheism. The black hole in the center. The eye of the storm. The ideal as absolute.

We are just watching it play out.
