Rabbi Meir Kahane Writings
It is the night of the Seder, the
eve of Passover. The Jewish family having been told by the child who attends
the temple “religious school” that Jews
celebrate the Passover with a festive meal, or perhaps having heard the temple
rabbi or the local American Jewish committee ignoramus declaim the theme of
Passover as being the national liberation struggle of all people and the
brotherhood of Man (the love of the Gentiles and Jews), is gathered about the
table. The room is filled with people, including gentile guests gushing over
the fascinating Jewish holiday. The family has equipped itself with Haggadas so
as to do the “thing” properly. They have finished the meal and now the excited
youngster (Scott, Brian, Kevin or some such Jewish name) excitedly says “It’s time to open the door to Elijah. He comes to every Jewish
house.” The parents smile; the gentiles smile – how similar to
Santa Claus. And, of course, they all rise as the child rushes to open the
door. Jew and gentile alike, chant the words prescribed by the Haggada, the
Biblical words of the Psalms, that proclaim:
“Pour forth Your wrath upon the
nations that do not recognize You and upon the kingdoms that do not invoke Your
name. For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his habitation. Pour forth
Your fury upon them and let Your burning wrath overtake them. Pursue them with
anger and destroy them from beneath the heavens of the L-rd.”
My G-d! What to think! What do the gentiles in
the room think?! What a litany of anger and, above all, vengeance! An open
prayer and call for the Almighty to avenge Himself upon the nations, to destroy
them for what they did to Israel! Is this Judaism? And did not the “rabbi”, the
temple paragon of Jewish wisdom, the fount of Jewish knowledge admonish us that
Jews oppose vengeance, that it is not a “Jewish” concept?
And that is why we are supposed to feel ashamed sometimes at the conduct of the
Israeli army? And, above all, what will John and Kathy, the gentile neighbors
think about the Jews? About us?
Ah, poor Jews; sad little Jews. Conceived in
ignorance and born in Jewish know-nothingness. Raised in Jeffersonian and
Kennedyian and Jacksonian (Jesse?) Democracy and all the westernized,
gentilized culture that is America, and lied to and deceived, and defrauded by
secular Jewish ignoramuses-leaders, and Reform-Conservative-Reconstructionist
ones; people whose ignorance is so awesome that only their fraud surpass it.
The fraud that was created by the counterfeiters of Judaism is astonishingly
awesome. They lied to the Jew because they could not bare to tell the truth to
themselves. Vengeance, un-Jewish? If so, let us cast out the Bible and
Talmud as “un-Jewish”. The L-rd is a G-d of
vengeance; O G-d of vengeance, arise! (Psalms 94). And the rabbis say: Yes,
when vengeance is needed, it is a great thing” (Brachot, 3a). Or let the high
praises of G-d be in their throat and a two edged sword in their hand – to
execute vengeance upon the nations…” (Psalms 58). Passover. A holiday that was created to commemorate the
sanctity of vengeance; the punishment and the destruction of Pharaoh and Egypt
that mocked and humiliated G-d by crying: “Who is the L-rd? I know not
the L-rd…!”Vengeance so that the world shall know the L-rd and
cry, “Verily, there is a G-d that judgeth in the earth…” And: “The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth vengeance, he shall
wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.” (Psalms 58) And why?
For it is only vengeance that proves that there is indeed a G-d in the world.,
that there is good and evil and punishment for that evil. When the wicked kill
and injustice reigns, surely the wicked cry out: “There is no G-d, for if there was He would punish me.” And
the victim in his agony agrees. When there is no vengeance and punishment and
the wicked reign, G-d is pushed from his throne; it is the greatest Hillul
Hashem – desecration to G-d’s Name, it is “proof” that
there is no G-d.
And again, “The L-rd hath made Himself
known through the judgement He executes.”(Psalms 9) And, of course,
the Psalm that is read before the weekday Grace after meals, a Psalm that sends
the gentilized Jews rushing from the table in horror:
“O daughter of Babylon that art to be destroyed; Happy shall he be
that repayeth thee as thou hast done to us. Happy shall he be that taketh and
dasheth thy little ones against the rock”. (Psalm 137).
And the Jews of Ashkenazi who created a prayer
of vengeance in memory of the Jews massacred during the Crusades, a prayer that
we read each Sabbath and that says: “May He avenge the blood of His
servants which has been shed, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, the man
of G-d: “O nations, make His people joyful! He avenges the blood of His
servants, renders retribution to His foes and atones for His land and His
people…And in the holy writings it says: “Why should the nations say, Where is
their G-d?
And for the hapless and ignorantly
hopeless who raise the half-a-cup of a Talmudic saying that G-d refused to
allow the angels to rejoice over the downfall of the Egyptians. Let us forever
torment the fraudulent by insisting on honesty and the complete text of the
Talmudic saying:
It is true that He does not
rejoice but He causes others to rejoice”.
Of course the Almighty, the
totality of Compassion, the Father of all, grieves for his children – all of
them. He does not sing. His angels, who are not of this world, do not sing.
BUT THE JEWS SING – AND ARE
COMMANDED TO DO SO. For the very same reason that the very same Almighty who
does not sing, does destroy the work of His hands because they are evil.
Yes, of course He grieves
that those who were made in His image have so perverted and destroyed the
greatness of that image. That those who were made in the image of good, were so
evil. In His grief He does not have pity. He destroys them: He knows that evil
and He cannot share the same world. And thus do the rabbis declare (Shmot Raba
23): “Then did Moses and the children of Israel sing,” this
is what is meant by the verse (Psalms 9):“The L-rd is known by the
judgment He executes. This speaks of Egypt who G-d smote at the Red Sea.” And
Shmot Raba 23: “Then did Moses and the children of Israel
sing. This is the meaning of the verse (Psalms 93): “Your throne was firm from then.” Even though You
exist from time immemorial, Your throne was not made firm and You were not made
known in the world until your children sang. When You stood at the sea and we
sang before You with “az” (then), then were
your kingdom and throne made firm.
The incredible perversion of Judaism by
confused and guilt-ridden Hellenists! Our rabbis tell us (Midrash
Avchir): “And Israel saw the great hand of G-d’ – When the Almighty wished
to drown the Egyptians, the Archangel of Egypt (Uza) said: Sovereign of the
Universe! You are called just and righteous…why do you wish to drown the Egyptians?
At that moment Gabriel rose and took a brick and said: Sovereign of the
Universe! These who enslaved Your children such a terrible slavery as this,
shall you have mercy on them? Immediately, the Almighty drowned them.”
Passover – the holiday that decrees the death
and destruction of wickedness and not coexistence with it. And
that, dear Jew, is why the Torah record for posterity the song of Moses and
Israel as the Egyptians drowned in the Red Sea. Yes, collective punishment
against the Egyptians, even the Egyptian maids and servants perished because
they were happy with the oppression of the Jews. (What can be said of the Arab
masses in Israel who danced on the roof tops as the Scuds form Saddam landed in
Tel Aviv.)
There is no help for it;
Passover is a holiday of sanctification of G-d’s name. Of vengeance against the
wicked. If the temple rabbi is unhappy, let him stop templing. If the gentile
neighbor will be embarrassed, do not invite him. If the Jew is troubled, let
him tie himself to the House of Study, a genuine one, and learn real Judaism.
Then he will celebrate Passover the proper way, the Jewish way. “Pour forth Your wrath…”
