Nobody Knows More than You
by: Moshe Feiglin
Founder and President, Manhigut Yehudit
Kislev, 5767 (Nov., 06)

I once had my own private life. I started a family and a business, built a house and voted for a different party in every election. Believe it or not, I even voted once for the pensioner's party -- 15 years before everyone else. What made me leave the warm corner I had created for myself and start to fight with the whole world?

It was like an arrow that hit me in the head. Suddenly, I understood that what I see is really all there is. No secrets. What I see is the unadulterated reality. It was when Rabin and Peres announced the Oslo Accords. Every time that a Leftist would argue with me in reserve duty and would run out of explanations for the madness, he would pull out the triumphant wild card: "Do you want to tell me that Rabin -- the Chief of Staff of the Six Day War -- doesn't know what you just told me? He must know things that you do not know and if he says that Oslo is good, that's enough for me..."

Suddenly, I realized that the people up there don't know anything of import that I do not know. The way that they control us and demand that we obey them is based on our belief that they have information that we do not possess.  But then I understood that the essential information is available to everyone. In other words, the defensive wall of the anonymous citizen suddenly crumbled away. The emperor really does not have any clothes... As soon as you understand that, the responsibility is on your shoulders. You can no longer get up in the morning, go to work and rely on your leaders that certainly know what you do not know. That's it. Now the responsibility is yours.

I apologize in advance, but now I am going to remove your anonymous citizen's defensive shield. It's not that I am sadistic -- just that our situation is pre-Holocaust. You can surely see it coming. All that I am saying is that what you see is the exact reality. Jabotinsky urged Europe's Jews to run away. I cannot give you that advice. Your situation, in some ways, is worse than the Jews of Europe. You have a state and will not even be eligible for refugee status. But I can suggest a different solution.

First, though, three facts that we all see and clearly know:

1: America

America's defeat in Iraq is reaching completion. Just as I warned after 9/11, America cannot win this war, because it refuses to admit that the enemy is Islam. Clearly, America has no intention of embarking on additional military adventures in the Middle East. Obviously we cannot depend on Europe, with its large Moslem population. In other words, we remain alone to face off with a nearly nuclear Iran.

2: Israel

After it buried its soul in the sands of Gush Katif, the IDF can no longer defend the State of Israel. General Ron Tal has stated this very clearly. It is worthwhile to listen to what he has to say. Everyone suggests improving the technical capabilities of the army. They do not understand that the problem is much deeper. The soldiers who did not refuse to obey the expulsion orders thought that they were protecting the IDF. But just the opposite occurred; they destroyed it. I am not referring to the security collapse that the Disengagement brought about -- a collapse that the head of the GSS so aptly described this week. I am talking about the moral collapse that has eliminated the IDF.

Whether you agree with me or not, you cannot argue with the facts. This past summer, when the IDF encountered the first enemy that was not settlers, it was roundly defeated -- by a band of fighters in Lebanon. More recently, the IDF was embarrassingly defeated in Beit Hanoun. Both examples are military actions that the IDF initiated and that ended with the situation worse than it was at the beginning. As I write these words, I hear that a woman in Sderot has just been killed by a Kassam rocket. You can try to wriggle out of reality with post modern terminology. But the bottom line is that we lost. Until the IDF regurgitates the entire military command that was involved in the planning and execution of the transfer and expulsion from Gush Katif, it cannot be rehabilitated.

As usual in our country, the man appointed to head the Defense Ministry is the most suitable candidate politically and the most unsuitable candidate professionally. In other words, the country's survival is much less important than the political survival of various officials. Nasrallah has already forgotten the name of the labor union head that miraculously metamorphosed into a Defense Minister. But we -- will really never forget Amir Peretz.

The entire security and political leadership is currently preoccupied with personal survival. They have no time or interest in you or in me. The commanders in the field do not rely on them, and rightfully so. The IDF's miserable performance in Lebanon and Gaza leaves no room for doubt as to its ability to deal with the Iranian threat.

3: Iran

Some commentators and pundits have attempted to claim that a nuclear Iran is not so terrible. The proof? The nuclear Soviet Union. When push comes to shove, the pundits -- who also supported Oslo and the Disengagement -- say, Achmadinijad will not sacrifice himself and his country just to destroy Israel.

The problem is that there is no basis for comparison. The Gush Dan region -- most of Israel for all practical purposes -- can be neutralized with just one nuclear attack. It is possible that an Israeli submarine or bomber jet will extract a price from Iran for erasing Israel off the map. But Iran is not a city/state like Israel. Does somebody really think that Achmadinijad will not be willing to sacrifice a few Iranian cities so that he could become the modern day Salah-a-Din -- the new leader of the Islamic world, the death defying ruler who has liberated the Middle Eastern Moslem domain of the Zionist monkeys and pigs?

That's it. These are the facts. We all know them. The deceptive and clumsy band of misfits running the country today has no other significant information. In other words, the responsibility is now yours.

Can we do something? With the current leadership, there is nothing that we can do. We need leadership that will revolutionize our values system. We need leadership that will restore our sense of justice. That is the only way to rehabilitate our country and the IDF so that we can deal with the approaching holocaust. The only sector of the public that has the ethical codes and feeling of responsibility for the fate of the nation -- the only sector of the public that can produce the appropriate leadership to lead this revolution -- is the sector that has been labeled as the enemy; the Orange public. It's time to turn to them.
