Part II – Realization: Looking Back From 2020
The following chapters are part of the story of how the Jewish People reinvented themselves and laid the foundations for a thriving new Jewish civilization!

Chapter 11: The Diaspora Reasserts Itself
One of the most significant developments of the past 12 years has been the reassertion of the Diaspora, characterized by the Diaspora demanding that Israel become an instrument for the entire Jewish People and Israel ultimately agreeing to this demand. This meant that Israel and the Diaspora would work as equals to develop institutions and frameworks that would guaranteemeaningful Jewish survival. A now famous essay – written by an Israeli who had emigrated from the United States – entitled “What is this Nonsense about the Negation of the Diaspora” served as a major intellectual justification for this new concept. 
There are more Jews in Israel than Irish in Ireland, Finns in Finland, Norwegians in Norway and Danes in Denmark and these countries do not have trouble sustaining a vigorous national culture based on a high standard of living.  Nor are they obsessively preoccupied with the size of their population. Why do we Israelis continue to feel that bringing more Jews to Israel is such a vital national goal?  Is it the internal threat of the Israeli Arab birthrate? This has been declining for almost two decades as a consequence of the rise in living standards and changes in the status of Arab women achieved by a massive affirmative action educational program. The goal of the program was that 90% of women in the Arab sector would be matriculated as High School graduates and 40% of them would have university educations.  A universal sociological rule is that educated women have smaller families.  Amongst educated Arab women in Israel today the birthrate is already lower than the general Jewish birthrate.
What we Israelis have that the Finns, Norwegians and Danes (and even the Irish) do not, is a well developed and powerful Diaspora so intimately concerned with our welfare.  This is a strategic resource that is the envy of every nation on earth and we Zionists – at least ideologically – want to do away with it.  Has there ever been an ideological principle so irrational in the entire history of humankind?

Chapter 12: Jewish Energy Project
Energy was determined to be a Jewish problem. The goal of the Jewish Energy Project was to form a wide range of coalitions with environmental and security groups in order to destroy the power of petroleum as an international commodity by deploying alternative energy resources and conservation methods that already existed in 2007. This has occurred and has undermined the financing of international Islamic terror and rendered impotent the petroleum funded nuclear weapons programs of rogue states such as Iran. The War on Terror and international Jihadism was not won by the direct strategy of armed intervention, but rather by the indirect strategy of destroying oil as the major international commodity. 

Chapter 13: Project Upgrading Israel
It was imperative to upgrade every aspect of Israeli life in order to enable it to perform its proper function in the service of the Jewish People.  If Israel and the Diaspora were to be equal partners, they had to be equal in per capita median income, educational level and cultural, scientific and technical achievements. In many of these areas, Diaspora Jewry was superior. The partnership could not survive with a super-developed Diaspora and a semi-developed Israel. The aim of Project Upgrading Israel was to make Israel the showcase of the entire Jewish People, the practical instrument of Jewish idealism and energy. A central task of the Diaspora was to help Israel achieve this aim.

Chapter 14: From Explanation to Information:The Triumph of Jewish Hasbara
Israel’s information campaign or lack thereof had long been a focal point of Jewish debate. Part of the problem is that the Hebrew word for information – Hasbara – literally means explanation and not information.  Explanation is to information what sales are to marketing. The revamped Jewish Hasbara campaign of 2007 had two aspects: negative and positive.  Negative Hasbara aimed at de-legitimizing Arab/Moslem and certain NGO and media positions vis-à-vis Israel, Zionism and the Jews.   Positive Hasbara was based on Israel’s achievements.  Tactics were new.  They included websites, Google ads, email chain letters and articles, specialty magazines, Blogs, exposé books etc. 
One book had these words: 
For every Moslem killed by Israelis, British and Americans since 1950 a thousand Moslems have been killed by fellow Moslems. 50,000 gassed in Yemen by Nasser in the 60’s, a million killed in the Iran-Iraq war in the 80’s; 200,000 killed in Algeria in the 90’s; Saddam Hussein’s slaughter of his own citizens; tens of thousands killed in sectarian Sunni Shia strife in Pakistan and Iraq.  Over 8 million Moslems have been killed by fellow Moslems in this period, compared to 60,000 by Israel, most on the battlefield.

Another publication discussing the dictatorship of the majority in the United Nations and its obsession with Israel asked: would African Americans have achieved their full civil rights if the American system had been Majoritarian and not constitutional?

Chapter: 15 Practical Peace Making
Practical peacemaking (as a process) replaced the stress on a finalistic peace agreement. Alleviating the predicament of the Palestinian people replaced the problem of Palestine as a focus of concern. The myth of Gaza’s population density was finally dispelled (it was 30% less dense than Singapore).  UNRWA (the sustainer of suffering and conflict) was dissolved and the Palestinian refugees were transferred to the UN High Commission on Refugees and all international law and codes of practice that had been applied to every other refugee problem since WWII now also applied to the Palestinians. EU and American development aid to the Middle East became completely regional and completely contingent on the cessation of all racist propaganda and incitement to Jihadist violence. The destruction of oil as a vital international commodity was a backdrop to this development. The economic welfare and political stability of Israel and the Arab countries became inextricably tied to one another.  Reality defanged Moslem fanaticism.

Conclusion: Facing The Future: Towards 2040
The Jewish People have accomplished a great deal.  But a vigorous civilization can never be satisfied with past accomplishments.  It must always be striving for some greater future vision if it is to sustain its vigor and retain its relevance for the individuals who identify with it and relate to the general human community by way of it. Self-actualization and self-transcendence are the eternal challenges of the human condition.  They are the essence of what it means to be human. They must be addressed by every generation in turn and in its own way.  This is especially true of the Jews.  If Jewish history reveals anything it is this fact.  Jewish culture is never as dynamic as when it is touching the nerve endings of the general human condition. This is the eternal truth of Jewish history – from antiquity when the Hebrew collective discovered Monotheism to the Enlightenment, after which Jewish individuals made discoveries, had insights and invented new ways of economic and social interaction that changed the course of human civilization.  This must be the challenge and the mission of the Jewish people over the next 20 years.
