Bibi Defeats Jewish Majority


Once again, the Jewish majority won a clear victory in the elections, but is being forced to implement the self-destructive policies of Oslo.

On the night that the results of the Likud primaries were publicized, there was electricity in the air. When the next morning's headline in Israel's Ma'ariv newspaper was "The Feiglin Party," even more people on Israel's Right decided to join the Likud. The feeling was that there was now hope for Israel to get off the suicidal Oslo track on which it has been speeding to its inevitable crash. There was a feeling that the Jewish majority was on its way to a big win.

But that is not what Netanyahu wanted. He pushed Feiglin way down on the Likud list and made it clear that he was committed to the leftist elites. Now that Barak will be joining his government, his plan is complete. Bibi has defeated the Jewish majority.

Bibi's victory is certainly a brilliant political triumph, but it does nothing at all to change the reality in which Israel must survive. What will be the new government's message? Destruction of Jewish outposts? Continuation of all the agreements that have already collapsed and brought about Israel's defeat in Lebanon and Gaza?

Will a prime minister whose government is beholden to Histadrut Labor Union head Ofer Eini be able to lead Israel out of the economic crisis? Or is Netanyahu willing to surrender control of Israel's economy so long as he can rule?

Netanyahu is attempting to protect himself from the wrath of Israel's controlling elites by subjugating the will of the rightist voters who put him in power to the path of the Left. He has no qualms or compunctions. Basic political etiquette such as respect for the party constitution, election bylaws that he himself enacted or will of the voter mean nothing to him.

If Netanyahu will manage to present Israel with a government in the coming week, the arena on which the real battle for Israel will take place will then be within the Likud. The first round will be a new registration drive that Netanyahu is already planning and elections for the Likud Council coming up this summer.

If the faith-based public will wake up now, register for the Likud en masse and work hard to bring in as many new faith based voters as humanly possible, there is a good chance that Netanyahu's government will be a fleeting episode in Israeli politics. But if, G-d forbid, we despair, the division of Jerusalem, selling of the Golan Heights and trampling of the Jewish majority may be our wake up call.

Shabbat Shalom,

Michael Fuah

Notes from a Collapsing Empire: By Moshe Feiglin


This article is being written at the end my two week lecture tour of the US. Tomorrow, with G-d's help, I'll be on my way home.

I met with thousands of Jews from diverse backgrounds during this tour. Even some non-Jews came to hear my lectures. Just about all of these people are convinced that America is collapsing. Nobody believes that Obama will really manage to stop the crash - certainly not with the Robin Hood methods that he has adopted.

"Almost every day, another one of my patients is laid off," a successful dentist told me. "People who have been fired from their jobs ask me to remove all of their teeth. They simply don't have the money to treat them."

I don't believe that the dollar will be worth the paper that it's printed on," a Jewish cosmetics chain owner told me.

"Madoff has caused tremendous damage to the Jews," a successful businessman whispered to me. "Nobody talks about it in public, but Americans are very aware of the ethnic identity of the man who stole 65 billion dollars."

It looks like America is marching down the European path and has quietly surrendered to the Moslem offensive. The government department that was supposed to scrutinize the terror being exported from Syria has been dissolved. Iran understands from Obama that it has nothing to fear from America. Almost one billion dollars are being channeled to the "Palestinian" terror gangs in Israel - at the very same time that the US national debt has ballooned to dimensions that make the final collapse just a question of time.

At one of my meetings, an influential woman told me that ten years ago, a short time after 9/11, she read an article that predicted exactly what would take place in the following years. "I don't remember who wrote the article," she said to me, "but I do remember its name: America Already Lost.'"

I found the article for her, written by yours truly. I wrote it after I heard President Bush, in a national address after the 9/11 terror attack, call upon all Americans to pray for America in their "churches, synagogues and mosques." In other words, Bush was calling upon Americans to pray to the same deity in whose name the Twin Towers were destroyed. It was clear to me that the Americans did not understand the intrinsic nature of the war that had been forced upon them. They did not understand who their enemy was and thus would necessarily lose. My article precisely anticipated the American entanglement in Afghanistan and Iraq, the persistence of the Moslem offensive, the economic downturn and the fear of the Jews in its wake:

There won't be large-scale pogroms in America, perhaps small ones, but not the kind we have suffered in Europe. After all, there is something too good about the American people that won't allow it. But how will a Jew show his face in the street when every American is convinced that he has lost his job and his property, that his relatives are being killed in terrorist attacks and in endless war - all because of the Jews?

My return trip to Israel was no picnic. I sat at the airport in uncertainty for nearly 24 hours with thousands of others, until I managed to get aboard one of El Al's air shuttle flights returning the stranded Israelis home.

"If this is the line of Israeli visitors wanting to go home," I thought to myself, "how long will the line be when American Jews rush to come home to Israel?"


(America Already Lost, by: Moshe Feiglin, War of Dreams p.393)

It seems that we are in the midst of a process of rapid change in the world order. Western culture is crumbling in the face of the power of faith of the Islamic world. Post-modernism, which essentially neutralizes the concepts of good and evil, has shattered Western culture's ability to withstand Islamic culture.

The West has an absolute objective advantage over Islam - but it has lost its ability to discern between good and evil. Where there is no God there is no truth and certainly no ability to identify the enemy. The gates of the Western world are open to waves of Moslem immigration, while the immigrants themselves look with scorn upon the infidels and the sand that is rapidly running out of the Western hourglass.

The Moslem offensive already has Europe on its knees. For some time, it seemed that America would stand firm. But a nation that elects a president of Islamic background does not have what it takes to face off against the Islamic threat.

Israel must prepare to stand alone against Iran and against a very hostile world. We must prepare ourselves for a large wave of aliyah from the US and the West while simultaneously dealing with Israel's crisis situation.
We must prepare ourselves for a reality that will be very similar to Israel's War of Independence. We must understand that we can rely on no other nation but ourselves - and of course - on our Father in Heaven.

In the War of Independence, the US ignored Israel. We fought on our own. Then, too, we were facing the threat of annihilation by the entire Moslem world. We can safely say that history is repeating itself - but with one major distinction:

Unlike the previous wars that Israel has fought, the dominant element in the approaching battle is much more religious than national. In a religious war, physical power is not enough. It was not enough for the Americans in their war against Bin Laden and it wasn't enough for us against the Hamas.

We must fortify our spiritual power. In the recent Gaza war we saw that our soldiers are already equipped with faith. We must make sure that Israel's leadership will also be packing that same invincible weapon.

From the Desk of Shmuel Sackett: The Only Opposition to Bibi

Hypocrisy is a funny thing, and I love pointing it out. Consider the following: Many people in the national camp screamed at Moshe Feiglin for telling his constituents to vote Likud. They claimed that under no circumstances could one support Bibi Netanyahu. Most of these people voted for National Union. They were pure, uncompromising and 100% true to their ideals. Sounds good, but...

After the elections were over, President Shimon Peres met with all parties in the Knesset and asked them who they recommended to build the next coalition. National Union recommended Bibi. President Peres followed their suggestion and gave Bibi the green light to form the government, which he will do in the coming days.

As you can see, on one hand the National Union voters said "no" to Bibi (by not voting Likud), but on the other hand, the National Union leadership said "yes" to Bibi (by choosing him to become the next Prime Minister). And you thought only leftists are hypocritical?

Thanks to National Union, Bibi is now Prime Minister with ZERO opposition. These "holy" and "pure" guys can now scream, wave their orange flags and march all day through Umm-el-Fahm. Bibi is laughing his head off. Their four mandates mean absolutely nothing. They have no influence, no say and mount no opposition.

Of course, Bibi cannot ignore them entirely. He must send them a "thank you card" for recommending him as Israel's next prime minister. If I were writing the card, here is what it would say:

Dear Ketzale, Dr. Eldad, Uri Ariel, Rabbi Dr. Ben-Ari and the 100,000 people who voted for National Union:
Thank you for making me Israel's prime minister. I could never have done it without you. I want especially to thank you for not joining Likud; your 100,000 votes inside Likud would have meant total disaster for me. You probably would have elected a stronger, prouder Jew than I, someone who is connected to G-d, who would never have made a deal with Ehud Barak and his Labor party. Thank you for staying outside of Likud, for keeping your voters away from Feiglin, for not offering me any opposition and for recommending me to President Peres as Israel's next prime minister. You are very special people. I love your orange bracelets, your orange flags and your orange kippot.
The only sad aspect of my new government is that I will not be seeing you around. You are not part of the coalition or active in my party and are not even leading the opposition. I wish you luck in your march through Umm-el-Fahm and hope you keep fighting against that hostile city. It's a very noble cause. Please email me as to your progress.
In the meantime, I will be setting up a Palestinian State, releasing terrorists from jail, removing 20-30 outposts throughout the West Bank and doing whatever President Obama asks of me. Thanks to you, I have no opposition and all of my plans should move very quickly. Let's drink a l'chaim at the upcoming Knesset Pesach party. I could have never done it without you.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Netanyahu


The only one that Bibi will NOT send a "thank you" card to is Moshe Feiglin. Bibi understands that Feiglin is his ONLY opposition. That is why he worked day and night in his attempts to push Feiglin off the Likud list. After losing his case in the Tel Aviv Court of Appeals, Bibi went to "Big Brother" in the Supreme Court and succeeded in pushing Feiglin down to spot 36. When Likud received only 27 seats in the Knesset, Bibi felt relieved because Feiglin did not make it in. The only problem, however, is that Feiglin is far from throwing in the towel. The TKO (technical knockout) that Bibi was looking for is not going to happen. Moshe Feiglin is mounting serious internal opposition to Netanyahu. He is gathering MK's from Likud, key Central Committee members and leaders of Likud branches around the country to oppose the hijacking of the Likud party - by Bibi - away from the will of people. He will be fighting and challenging Bibi every chance he can and will pressure him in ways that will make it difficult for Bibi to carry out his plans of national suicide for Israel.

Only Feiglin can - and will - oppose Bibi. This does not mean he will succeed in stopping every one of Bibi's destructive actions; but Feiglin - and ONLY - Feiglin will organize Likud members into a solid bloc of opposition. He will mobilize thousands and will be at the center of a major campaign targeted at Likud voters to demand that their 27 MK's represent them and not the views of Labor. While the "right wing" fades into oblivion and their Knesset members wage silly and ineffective battles, Moshe Feiglin will continue to fight for a strong and proud Jewish State. Go Feiglin!
 
US Lecture Tour Pictures and Video

Enjoy these pictures of Manhigut Yehudit's annual Shushan Purim dinner in New York.  Moshe Feiglin just returned to Israel from an eight city lecture tour of the US. Thousands of Jewish Americans were inspired by Moshe's plan to establish Jewish leadership for Israel based on Jewish values and Jewish identity. American audiences of all affiliations engaged Moshe in discussion on a wide range of issues related to Israel and world Jewry. Moshe's positive vision for Israel's future combined with his concern for every Jew won over minds and hearts throughout the trip. The level of enthusiasm and support for Manhigut Yehudit was greater this year than ever before. Every day of the trip was packed with meetings and presentations from morning to night and the demand for Moshe's time was overwhelming - demonstrating that the goal of Jewish Leadership in Israel has been embraced by the Jewish community in America. Moshe Feiglin was accompanied on his trip by Shmuel Sackett (International Director of Feiglin's organization) and Dovid Shirel (Educational Director). Welcome home!
