On A Mountain, With A Trumpet (excerpts)
“But if the watchman see the sword come and blow not
the trumpet and the people be not warned; if the sword cometh and take from
them a soul…his blood will I require from the watchman”. (Ezekiel 33)
I sit on the
mountain with a trumpet in my hand. We
all sit on a mountain, each of us a watchman with a trumpet in hand. Our mission is to sit and see the enemy. Our mission is to see the danger, to search
our own souls and to blow the trumpet and warn the rest – the rest of
the Jewish people.
I sit on a
mountain as the sands slip through, the clock ticks away and the Almighty watches
from above to see whether the sleeping Jew will awake on top of the mountain to
see the enemy and blow the trumpet and save himself and all the rest and
reclaim his greatness and his destiny before there are no more years left.
We are all
watchmen, we Jews. We are commanded to
know the danger, to see it approach, to blow the trumpet and save, both
ourselves and our fellow Jews.
How possible
to sit on a mountain and behave like valleys! How incredible that we sit on
high, seeing all that is below, and sees nothing! How awful that
the watchman sleeps even as the enemy grows bolder and comes closer and the
clock that ticks, rings its alarm, shrilly, without pause, and he hears
nothing. We are a nation of watchmen on
a hill and we sleep the sleep of the mediocre fool. “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a
little folding of the hands to rest; so shall thy poverty come as one who
travels and they want as an armed man.” (Proverbs 6)
I sit on the
mountain and, behold, the enemy, the terrible dangers, are in full view. There they are, there they approach, those
who travel, as armed men. Jew, can you
not see them:
- A land of Israel that sees Arabs rioting without
fear of an army hobbled by tragic orders of small men, fearful of the
nations and what they will say; little men who never thought for a moment
of fear: What will G-d say? A land
in which soldiers and civilians – are stoned by howling Arabs whose
self-confidence and certainty grow in proportion to the hesitation,
uncertainty and loss of confidence on the part of Jews. A land in which Arab citizens of Israel
puncture the absurd myth of “loyalty” to the Jewish State by carrying the
riots and hatred and the cries of “We
will free Palestine,” into the Jewish cities of Jaffa and Lydda and Acre. A land of Israel which sees its Jewish
citizens, frustrated and bitter at the impotence of the government, who
are gripped by the terrible thought: Perhaps, G-d forbid, the State will
not survive…
- A Land of Israel in which the “stranger”, so
beloved by the guilt-ridden eyrev rav, mixed multitude, of our
times, the “stranger”, the Arab, “rises above us higher and higher and we
sink lower and lower.”
- A Land of Israel in which fear stalks the
highway, and the inner psyche of the Jewish citizen, as soldiers and
civilians are murdered regularly and the proud new Jew, the product of
the Zionism of Herzl, and Borochov and Jabotinksy, the one who left Minsk
and Pinsk and Fez and Sa’ana, who fled the fear and psyche of Minsk and
Pinsk and Fez and Sa’ana and the psychological ghetto of the exile. A land in which fear grips the Jew and
Zionism dies a pathetic spiritual death.
- A land of Israel in which there are funerals each
week, funerals of Jews who did not fall in battle but who were murdered in
the streets and in the fields of Eretz Yisrael, and an impotent
Jewish government “gropes at noonday as the blind gropeth in darkness,”
and has no answer, even as it frees 1100 terrorists and jails Jewish
heroes. A land in which the
glory of Samson is shorn from our heads by the Peresitic Delilahs and
strength ebbs from the body Israel even as the Palestinian-Philistines
pledge: “See wherein his great strength lieth and by what means we may
prevail against him…. And we will give you every one of us eleven
hundred pieces of silver.”
- A Land of Israel in which the army is slowly
destroyed as a fighting force and the morale of its soldiers shattered by
timid and frightened orders, conceived in gentilized concepts and born in
fear of that gentile, not to strike with an all-powerful hand at the enemy
– lest women and children, who are an integral part of that enemy, be
hurt. A land that ties the hands of
its soldiers and thus passes a death sentence on them, a land that sees
more and more Jews fearful of army service and fearful of taking the
action that will save their own lives.
- A Land of Israel that sees our enemy grow bolder,
encouraged by the madness and gentilization of the Hellenists, the mixed
multitude who destroy the Jewish state in stages even as they pretend to
govern it. A land that see Arab
boldness and confidence increase in proportion to Jewish insecurity,
guilt, weakness, confusion, stumbling and fear. A land that sees a guarantee of worse,
much worse, Arab action and slaughter of Jews, as the barrier of fear is
swept away, a land that will make Northern Ireland appear idyllic, as the
wild man who is Ishmael, emerges in all his barbarism and savagery.
- A Land of Israel that sees the Jewish character of
the land disappear under the hobnailed boots of the storm troopers of the
self-hating and fascist Left. The
ones who spiritually destroyed Sephardic Jews and who kidnapped young
Yemenite Jewish infants even as they stripped Jewishness from the souls of
their parents. The ones who, driven
by self-hate and with a Judaism that they see as hideous hump they cannot
escape, attempt to destroy our children, our people, by ordering enforced
gathering together of Arab and Jewish youngsters in Arab villages and Jewish
towns, in weekends and dances and songs, sounds of music that are a
funeral dirge for Jewish survival.
A land that opens the doors to the impurity and pollution of
intermarriage and assimilation and calls them “good.” A land that in the moves to increase the
defilement of the Jewish seed and Jewish purity, that is seen already all
too clearly in the Jewish women living in Arab villages, in the Jewish
prostitutes and their Arab pimps, in the Jewish girls sitting and laughing
with Arabs on the beaches and in the coffee houses.
- A Land of Israel in which the economy dies even
as the men of fraud pretend that it improves; a land in which unemployment
and disaster will unravel the social fabric leading to chaos and anarchy
in the streets. A land in which
young Jews, released from the army, find themselves unemployed, as greedy
Jewish employers prefer two Arabs for the price of a single Jewish
worker. A land in which cities see
entire areas becoming Arab, as Ishmaelite arrives, cash dollars in hand,
dollars that come across the Jordan bridges from the PLO coffers, and buys
apartments, in neighborhoods and towns.
- A Land of Israel that sees a Knesset populated,
not only by Arab enemies of the state, but by Jewish ones. Jews who
are enveloped with blind, obsessive hate against religion, against
Judaism. Jews who cannot sleep
without dreaming of ways to liquidate Judaism. Who yearn to go to war against Judaism
and erase it from the earth and who are so spiritually sick that they
prepare to go to war and murder the Jews they so hate.
- A Land that sees the Arab, free of obligation to
serve the country, free of paying his full share of taxes, multiplying at
a rate that sees the Galilee and Wadi Ara and the Triangle, filled with a
majority of Arabs, Arabs whose quantity is matched by a quality stemming
from Jewish madness as the Hellenists in their guilt and self-hate took an
ignorant, illiterate peasant’s child and turned him into an educated
intellectual who is the greatest danger to the survival of Israel, who is
the future leader of the PLO. A
land that sees Jewish madmen subsidizing the Arab birthrate by paying
checks each month for every child.
- A land that, through a perverted “democracy” and “coexistence” calmly
salutes national suicide as it allows the Arabs to grow swiftly and move
towards a majority, a majority that will vote Israel out of existence on
the way to slaughter that will be a thousand fold that which they commit
against each other daily in Lebanon.
- A Land that sees immigration into the country dry
up even as Israeli Jews seek to flee the country, their main obstacle
being American and Western immigration quotas. A land that is unhappy, that has lost
confidence in itself, in the justice of its own cause and in the iron
guarantee that “Israel can never go under.” A land in the hands of the gentilized
Hebrews, the hideous Hellenists, the mixed multitude.
The enemy
comes nearer, the dangers are closer, and I sit on a mountain and blow
the trumpet.
Arise, O slumbering Jews and save yourself, save your body, save your
soul!
I sit and
blow the trumpet and the Jew sleeps on, or reacts in vicious anger and shouts:
Silence, we sleep! I sit and blow the
trumpet and plead with brothers and sisters to arouse themselves, their people
– to bring the Messiah now.
Another year
enters the volumes of time and the next takes its place in the march
toward Jewish destiny. The sands of the New Year are already
running. Running out. The sands slip through, the clock ticks away
and the Almighty waits to see whether the sleeping Jew will awaken from his
slumber to reclaim his greatness and destiny before there are no more years
left.
