Purim of our days

Purim is coming in a few weeks. This holiday is the celebration of a miraculous salvation of the Jewish people. But why did it hapen?

The Second Temple was destroyed because of the worst sin, baseless hatred. Therefore redemption will come when we'll repair this, and stop the habit of hating each other.
Current situation of Israel is far from being easy. Iran is swearing to destroy the country with its almost-ready nuclear force, Hamas and Hisballah on the borders of the country are getting stronger and stronger. Previous allies, like Turkey and Egypt are becoming less friendly, political Islam is gaining power. The Jewish state has no allies anymore in the region (maybe Jordan, but that is the weakest country in the Middle-East). The outcome of the uprising in Syria is unpredictable. Meanwhile the West is in an economic crisis, for which they could use the old, proven solution: speeding up the economy with military spendings. This all can very easily lead to an all-out war in the Middle-East with Israel in the center of it.
Meanwhile what is happening in Israel? A crazy, religious-looking charedi person is spitting on a non-religious girl for not being dressed modestly, women are insulted on certain buslines, some settlers are threatening Palestinians and left-wing Jews. These are the acts of a few idiots, who don't behave the way the Torah teaches us. Many Orthodox rabbis expressed their condemnation. And some journalists of the left-wing media are using these events, exagerate them in order to create enmity between different groups of the Israeli society. Which is the bigger sin?

In the Megilla (the book of Esther, which we read on Purim), when Haman, a Persian minister, the enemy of the Jewish people speaks with the king, he says: "There is a people scattered and separated from each other" referring to the Jews. He brings the most powerful claim: separated. Not supporting each other, not accepting each other, viewing each other as enemies. The decree comes immediately: Haman can do with them whatever he wants.
Later on in the story, Esther tells Mordechai, her uncle, the head of the Jewish community: "Go and gather the Jews". Gather...not physically, but make them friends, brothers. Stop the hostility, make them fast together. And when the Jews did, the king soon changed his decree, and the Jewish people was saved. Gathering was the solution.

What do we learn from this? When we are separated, when we see each other as enemies, when we spit on each other, and when we use this spit for our political motives, then we get into big trouble. All of us. But when we are able to raise above these issues, and not sink into the swamp of hatred, then our troubles go away. It doesn't matter if we are religious or secular, liberal or conservative, zionist or anti-zionist. We are all in the same boat, and if we make a hole under someone else's cabin, the whole boat will sink. We should repair the sin of baseless hatred, and then these troubles will go away.
