Not only little states like Denmark and Israel, but even Germany and France, great powers at the beginning of the 20 th century, cannot stand alone anymore. While we Israelis were busy building our national state, the world was already moving from a national agenda to a regional one. Europe was unified, and other parts of the world tried to emulate it. But even the idea of regional unions has already become obsolescent. Human consciousness always stumbles behind objective reality.
Some manifestations are downright ridiculous.
For example, France won the international soccer championship and was floating on a wave of nationalist hysteria. But the stars of the French team were foreigners, headed by an Algerian, the likes of whom are considered by many Frenchmen as sub-human. That did not dampen the spirits of the masses. It is impossible to know how the aim of a new world order will be achieved. Perhaps the United Nation will assume the role of a supra-national authority.
