Democracy suffers from a serious crisis and seems to be in the process of collapse. In Israel and in advanced countries, it has become a relatively successful governmental mechanism for the problem that must be solved urgently.
There will be no misunderstanding: Democracy was one of the important achievements of human society. We were educated on her knees, sanctified her, and proud of her contribution to humanity. We learned about Athenian democracy and the principles of the French Revolution, and proudly leveled the flag of the separation of authorities, the freedom of individual and equality before the law. There is no intention of returning to the past and authoritarian regimes. The opposite of democracy is not dictatorship, so we must rethink the very existence.
