Golani notes the danger inherent in this sort of technique: `The excessive appeal to `a sense of solidarity in the face of a threat` and even the invention of a threat to lessen internal tensions (especially when they are focused on the leadership) are a weapon that must never be used.
In Golani`s opinion, `consciously adopted soul-searching is preferable to the narrow monism that is growing ever stronger in Israel as it assumes various forms in both the leftist and rightist camps.` The problem, of course, is that fewer and fewer Israelis are prepared to engage in soul-searching.
Golani`s book is important because it points to the serious danger facing Israeli society: The formation of a consensus with which Israelis have learned to live and according to which, in Israel`s situation, democratic considerations are a luxury.
