  • Israel is a middle eastern country with a middle eastern temperament. That is less reserved and controlled than Central Europeans. The majority of Jews in Israel are Mizrahi, descendants from Jews who fled the MENA region, not Europe. They tend to be a bit more noisy and dramatic.

    It would be interesting to get the perspective of an Israeli who went on such a trip.

    It’s also unclear how prevalent this issue is, or if it’s just a few cases tainting their image. There are lots and lots of Israeli school kids visiting Auschwitz. Probably more than any other nationality. So it might simply be explained by their numbers.















  • Interesting idea for sure. I’m not sure it would work though. The concept has lots of cultural implications as well. In traditional monarchies the king is usually divinely ordained, chosen by god. A democracy doesn’t get its legitimacy from above, the people are the ultimate sovereign and legitimize the system. New Monarchy also needs some kind of higher philosophical justification.

    Political systems often have a short slogan, that emphasizes their values.

    • No gods, no kings, no masters
    • liberté, égalité, fraternité
    • Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
    • blood and Soul
    • for god, king, and country
    • one man, one vote
    • SPQR

    New Monarchism could use one as well.
