    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on Israel's history of defending itself against Palestinian attacks, often leading to its portrayal as "isolated" in the international community. It argues that Israel's actions challenge conventional perceptions, asserting that Israel's existence represents a unique and transcendent purpose. The article contends that Israel's determination to fulfill its purpose remains steadfast, suggesting that its status as "chosen" transcends the notion of isolation.
