Torah perspective
A people secure in its own identity has no need to erase anyone else's. The argument over whether it is better to sit with Arabs or with the religious is a symptom of a deeper confusion: treating the group you were born into as the whole of who you are, rather than what you actually think and choose. The Baal Shem Tov taught that nothing in creation exists without some benefit it brings to Israel, even if that benefit comes once in seventy years. Every person and every camp carries a spark the whole needs. Unity does not mean flattening difference. It means each part standing firm in itself, strong enough to honor the other without fear.
