Nobody expects anything good to come out of Annapolis. Nobody expects anything good to come out of negotiations with the Syrians. There is not one citizen of Israel who honestly believes that peace and security are just beyond the horizon. But the "peace process" rolls inexorably on. Nothing -- not common sense, not Jewish sentiments, not security threats, not flying missiles and not horrendous acts of terror -- gets in its way.

 

"What is going on here?" the bewildered Israeli asks himself. "Are our leaders so blind? Don't they see the dangers?"

 

It is time to understand that our leaders are not stupid. They also understand that the "peace process" will bring neither peace nor security. But the dreams and goals of the leftist minority that controls this country are different than the dreams and goals of the Jewish majority. For them, surrendering the Temple Mount to our enemies is not a "painful concession." On the contrary; it is part and parcel of their goal. If we are not rid of it, how can we ever become a normal nation? How can we erase Israel's Jewish identity and replace it with formless Israeli identity if we are still attached to our forefathers in Hebron, Beit Lechem and Shechem? How can we be citizens of the world when those irritating settlers keep chaining us to our Jewish roots?

 

Is there a way out of this madness? Is there a cure for our collective political insanity stress disorder? What is the solution?

 

 

The obvious and urgent solution is Jewish leadership for Israel. Nothing else gets to the root of the problem. But how do we achieve our goal?

 

The answer to that dilemma is on two planes. On the practical plane, it is urgent to register for the Likud and to convince your friends and family to do so as well. Israel desperately needs a belief based prime minister, and voting for Moshe Feiglin in the next Likud primaries is the way to make that happen.

 

But there is also a popular/spiritual plane that can no longer be ignored. It is not enough to register for the Likud and then forget about Jewish leadership until it is time to vote. It is time to stand up and be counted. Every person who understands that Israel needs authentic Jewish leadership must stand up and say so. Talk about it at work, at school and at family and social gatherings. Tell everybody you know about Moshe Feiglin and the Jewish leadership alternative. We must create a critical mass of people who are willing to do more than just eat their hearts out at home. If the government continues with its political insanity, we will no longer be able to rely on others to demand a change. Each and every one of us will count.

 

Last week, we saw the first signs of people outside the "Orange" camp who were willing to stand up and be counted. The Beitar fans who jeered during the moment of silence for Rabin were roundly condemned by one and all. But in truth, the Beitar fans expressed what so many Israelis are afraid to even think. The article that Moshe Feiglin wrote for the NRG website in support of the Beitar fans struck a sensitive chord in Israeli society. The article triggered over 500 talkbacks, and it was the most read article on the website on the day that it was publicized.

 

As frustrated individuals, there is not much that we can do. But if we collectively set our sites on the true goal -- authentic Jewish leadership for Israel -- the Jewish majority will win!
