Abstract
In this short article, I suggest that the problem posed by the judicial reforms is not insufficient liberalism, but rather that liberalism is not up to the task of fixing Israeli society because it is exclusionary and ethnocentric. Many people currently doubt that “Israel” can hold together as a concept in any meaningful way given the vastly different social visions of its citizens. The crisis must be addressed. But many simply want to cancel the reforms without addressing the conditions that created them, which will be temporary, at best “buying” the opposition a couple of years by trying to sweep this major clash under the rug.Here I suggest that we should seek a more radical process of inclusion that actually gives everyone a seat at the table.
