before his assassination.
Kahane on the Parsha
Rabbi Meir Kahane- Parshat Ki
Tisa
THE TORAH SOLUTION: EXPULSION!!!
For many years I have pointed out
the clear halachic status of a non-Jew in the Land of Israel, which is in total
contradiction to Western democracy, which postulates complete equality of all
peoples regardless of ethnic, national, or religious background. I have pointed
out that he has, at best, the status of a ger toshav, assuming that status is
still applicable nowadays when yovel is not in force.
I have also pointed out that a
non-Jew who wishes to live in the Land of Israel MUST ACCEPT upon himself the
obligations of misim and shibud (tribute and servitude) under which he cannot
ever hold sway over any Jew in Israel and cannot hold any position of authority
(see Hilchot Melachim 6:11). In a word, I have pointed out the
clear halacha of a non-Jew with absolutely no NATIONAL (as opposed to personal)
rights in the Land of Israel that was given to the Jew as a Holy Land in which
he must live alone and in isolation, creating his own unique and holy Torah
state.
Today, after deep contemplation
and study of the situation, I believe all this applies to every non-Jew--except
for the Arabs who call themselves "Palestinians." They, unlike any
other people, have the halachic status of the ancient Canaanites. Let us
consider my point.
We clearly find in halacha a
difference in status between ordinary non-Jews and non-Jews from the seven
Canaanite nations--a difference that is expressed only in part by the fact that
refusal to surrender on the part of ordinary nations leads to the killing of
all their male adults (not their women and children), whereas similar refusal
by the Canaanites leads to TOTAL extermination. Why this halachic distinction?
Because there is a FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE between non-Jews who have origin in
the Land of Israel (but wish to live there now) and those who stem from
it--i.e., those who were there before the Jews arrived or came during the
absence of Jewish sovereignty in the land.
To understand the nature of this
difference, consider the words of the great Biblical commentator, the
Abarbanel, on the following verses, "Behold, I drive out before you the
Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the
Jebusites. Be vigilant lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the
land to which you come, lest it be a snare in your midst" (Exodus
34:11-12). The Abarbanel writes:
"Since the Almighty drives
out His enemies, it is unseemly that we should make a covenant with them
because this would be a desecration of His honor. [Furthermore], a treaty with
them will not succeed since there is no doubt that they will ALWAYS seek evil
for Israel considering that the Israelites took their land from them. And this
is the meaning of the words 'the land to which you come'--i.e., since you,
Israel, went into that land and took it from its inhabitants, and since they
feel oppressed and robbed of it, how will they preserve a treaty of friendship?
Rather it will be the opposite; they will be 'a snare in your midst'--i.e.,
when war breaks out they will join your enemies and fight you."
What a stupendously true and
incisive comment by the great Abarbanel and how much it understands the reality
of human nature. And how different from that of the sad Moderdox of our time,
who not only prattle about equal rights for the inhabitants of the land under
the Jews who took the land from them but who ignore--because they lack the
courage to face up to it--the reality of human feelings and the unwillingness
to accept crumbs rather than the sovereignty that was.
The Abarbanel lays down the clear
fundamental reality that non-Jews who were in the Land of Israel before the
Jews arrived will never accept their defeat. They will always dream of revanche
and the day when they will take the land back. They will never see themselves
as equals in a land that was once theirs and now belongs to the Jews who
"graciously" consent to give them "rights." And herein is
the fundamental difference in feeling between nations who were in the Land of
Israel first, before the Jews arrived to take it for themselves, and other
non-Jews who have no sovereign claim to the land but wish to live there now.
And, indeed, this
postulate--which equates ALL peoples who were in the land before the Jews with
the Canaanites--is also advanced by the holy Ohr HaChaim in his commentary to
Numbers 33:52, which instructs the Jewish people to "drive out all the
inhabitants of the land." He writes: "It's true that the [Torah says]
concerning the seven nations, 'You shall utterly destroy them,' but this verse
refers to nations OTHER THAN the seven nations found there. And that is why the
Torah specifically states 'ALL the inhabitants of the land'--i.e., even those
who are not of the seven nations."
And so we see: The seven nations
do not have their special status alone, but rather all people who were in the
Land of Israel before the Jews arrived, and who see the Jews as robbers who
stole the land from them, have the same kind of attitude and approach of hate
and revenge--and thus, the same legal status.
The Jewish Press, 1990 Editor's note: This Dvar Torah derives
from the very last article Rabbi Meir Kahane wrote for The Jewish Press. The
article was published in two installments. Rabbi Kahane submitted the second
half to The Jewish Press on November 5th, just hours before his
assassination

Um, it's probably an issue involving publisher and distribution. They do sell books by and about R' Kahane, including the new biography.
