Synergy- Israel for example
It was late R. Buckminster Fuller who demonstrated the synergy in the way 2 equilateral triangles are hinged to another to create a fourth equilateral triangle. Synergy is the behavior of a system as a whole unpredicted by its parts.
You and I can be represented as equilateral triangles. We are both locked in a struggle to be viable in context of the rest and do we not produce something unseen by either you or me?
For example the creation of Israel was to give Israel a national identity. The land was carved out of area where Palestinians had lived for centuries. Many of the Palestinians were displaced into camps while many were absorbed into the national mainstream. At present the Israeli-Palestinians constitute 22 % of the population. In terms of those Palestinians living outside and who also dream of a nation is like the equilateral triangle hinged to the other two viz., Israeli Jews and Israeli Palestinians.
Synergy of these is what one ought to worry about. It is so charged that Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and the USA are all drawn into it.
