Weekly Update In this Week's
Update:
The crowd enthusiastically greeted Manhigut Yehudit General Director Michael Fuah, who overviewed Manhigut's activities and short and long term goals. Former Gush Katif spokesman, Eran Sternberg's voiced his firm belief that Manhigut Yehudit has the only realistic and applicable solution for the problems that Israel is facing. Chief Rabbi of Tzfat, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu blessed the audience and spoke with conviction of the need for a belief based revolution. The crowd spontaneously rose to its feet and cheered as Moshe Feiglin made his way to the podium. Moshe stressed the need to take practical, realistic action to save Israel. He reiterated that Manhigut Yehudit is not working to save just a particular sector of Israeli society. It does not call upon the Orange public to simply disengage from the rest of Israel and look sorrowfully on as it self-destructs. Manhigut Yehudit reaches out to all sectors of Israeli society, aiming to restore its Jewish identity and lead it to its true, Jewish destiny. The candle lighting ceremony honored five people who represent the culture of loyalty to G-d, Nation, Land and Jewish identity that must replace Israel's current culture of perfidy. Esther Pollard was the first person to light a candle. Her husband, Jonathan Pollard, is a prime example of a Jew loyal to his land and nation, who was heartlessly betrayed by all of Israel's consecutive governments. Oriyah Shirel, one of the young girls who spent months in prison for refusing to cooperate with Israel's courts, received vigorous applause when she declared that Moshe Feiglin and Manhigut Yehudit gave her the strength to face off against the system. Moshe introduced the person chosen to light the next candle by telling the crowd that when he witnessed what happened at the Ozeri outspost, he was burdened with a sinking feeling that the betrayal that occurred there was just a prelude to a large scale betrayal of settlers that would soon become the norm. Nearly four years ago, Nati Ozeri was murdered by Arab terrorists at his home in an outpost near Hebron. About two months later, police and army forces surrounded the outpost in the middle of the freezing night and drove Nati's widow and five small orphans out of their home, eventually dumping them, sobbing and shivering, on a street in Jerusalem. The Ozeri home and belongings were all destroyed. Nati Ozeri's mother-in-law, Rachel Nir, lit the candle to honor the memory of her late son-in-law and the culture of loyalty to the Land and People of Israel. She was joined by Naomi Ofan, whose husband, Neriyah, is one of 21 settlers who have been driven out of their homes in the outposts by Israel's government. Immigrants to Israel, old and new, were also honored at the Conference. Moshe Feiglin noted that a large part of Manhigut Yehudit's membership is made up of olim, and then asked all those in the audience who have immigrated to Israel to stand up. About a quarter of the people in the room rose to resounding cheers. Ideologically motivated immigrants to Israel are naturally attracted to Manhigut Yehudit, where they find a home for their aspirations to make Israel the Jewish homeland that they have always dreamed of. Ben Landa, Manhigut's Chairman of the Board, who flew special from New York was also honored for his immense dedication and support of Manhigut Yehudit. He treated the crowd to a stirring speech in English, calling on the audience to do all they can to return the State of Israel to the Jewish People. Manhigut activists were called up on stage and given small flashlights, which they then distributed to the crowd. The lights were dimmed and all the flashlights turned on to the chords of the famous Chanukah song, "We have come to drive the darkness away, everybody is a small light, but together we shine brightly." Aharon Razel and Aryeh Zilber got the crowd on their feet and dancing in the aisles. At the evening's end, there was a smile on everyone's face and tremendous motivation in their hearts to make the belief based revolution a reality. Now it's time to get to work! You can turn the
State of Jews into the Jewish State.
Achmadinijad is very smart. His world view is grounded in the labyrinths of the Middle East, but he understands the weak spots of the West. Achmadinijad understands that the Holocaust created the world opinion that gave birth to the State of Israel. It is hard to argue with him on that point. The chance that the UN would have decided on the establishment of the State of Israel before the Holocaust is miniscule. But the Holocaust is not just a one-time tool that Israel used to tweak the conscience of the world before the fateful vote. It is the tool that the State of Israel uses until this very day to justify its existence. Just like a beggar who displays his open wounds to drum up business, Israel coerces every VIP who visits here to run directly from the airport to the horrors of the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. Between us -- have you ever seen another country that justifies it existence by explaining that there is no other choice? "Look Mr. President... Please understand, Mr. Prime Minister, did you see what they did to us when we had no State? After pictures like these, can you even ask why Israel must exist?" The ploy worked for fifty years. But the world is already tired of it. It is very unfortunate that you were once persecuted, but it doesn't give you the right to steal the land of a different nation -- that in the meantime has also learned how to create photo-ops of wretchedness and suffering, entangling the entire Western world in a struggle with the Islamic world. Achmadinijad clearly identifies the weak point of Israel's claim: If the only justification for Israel's existence is the Holocaust, then you know what? We'll find the Jews a solution in Europe or in outer space... And if the world will close its eyes again, as it managed to do in 1944,I am willing to do the dirty work and rid the world of the Jewish problem. I even dare to claim that the Holocaust never occurred, and nothing happened to me. If you don't get in my way, I will finish the job for you. It won't take more than a few minutes. By the time you open your eyes, it will all be over. We won't even have to deny anything. Achmadinijad is also smart enough to surround himself with Jews. That way, he can say to the world, "What do you mean that I am Hitler? Did you ever see Hitler hug a Jew? On the contrary! I like Jews. All that I oppose is the Zionist attempt to turn the Jews into a nation that works within history and influences it." In truth, I do not understand why everybody is so up in arms over the Ultra-Orthodox Jews that attended the Holocaust denial conference in Iran. Achmadinijad has not yet killed one Jew. Arafat, on the other hand, declared that his goal was to destroy Israel and never renounced it. Not only did he make declarations, he also acted on them. He murdered more Jewish citizens than any person since Hitler. But Arafat was the darling of Rabin, Peres, Netanyahu and a long line of Israeli personalities. So what does everyone want from an odd Jew from Brooklyn? Is he the Prime Minister of Israel? A Knesset Member? A prominent journalist? If Binyamin Netanyahu could warmly shake Arafat's hand and tell the world that he had "found a new friend," why should we be appalled by some bizarre Jews from the most eccentric fringes of Ultra-Orthodox Jewry who also found a friend from the same neighborhood? The hugs that Arafat received from the representatives of the State of Israel obliterated Israel's most basic survival instinct. Not only did we no longer see any justification for our existence other than the Holocaust, we even began to accept the opposite claim -- that suggests that our existence be terminated. Achmadinijad's best weapon is his claims. On one hand, they are based on Israel's inability to justify its existence for positive reasons. On the other hand, they play on Western Anti-Semitism and get additional maneuvering space in exchange. That is exactly what Hitler did. When the American bombers flew over Auschwitz without bombing it, he got additional time to finish his job. To deal with Achmadinijad, we must deal with his claims. Israel currently fears the Jewish answer, rendering it incapable of justifying its existence. As a result, it cannot protect itself. Not from the Kassam and not from a nuclear Iran.
