Israel.

The state whose founding narrative is the exodus from slavery remembered and taught as avadim hayinu has voted against a resolution that says slavery was a crime against humanity.

They voted during the season when every Jewish family is commanded to remember:

1. You were slaves.
2. You must never forget slaves.
3. You must never allow slavery again.

The Haggadah says: in every generation, a person is obligated to see themselves as if they personally went out of Egypt.

Then the UN asked 193 countries to do something much smaller, just acknowledge slavery happened and it was wrong.

123 remembered, they voted yes.

Israel said no.

Israel voted to cancel avadim hayinu.

וַיּוֹצִיאֵנוּ ה’ אֱ-לֹהֵינוּ מִשָּׁם בְּיָד חֲזָקָה וּבִזְרוֹעַ נְטוּיָה
וְאִלּוּ לֹא הוֹצִיא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֶת אֲבוֹתֵינוּ מִמִּצְרַיִם
הֲרֵי [עֲדַיִין] אָנוּ וּבָנֵינוּ וּבְנֵי בָנֵינוּ מְשֻׁעְבָּדִים הָיִינוּ לְפַרְעֹה בְּמִצְרָיִם

Dear God, if your divine wisdom did not see slavery as a crime, we and our children and our children’s children would still be enslaved. But are you even real? The F-35 is real.
