Rabbi
Meir Kahane's last speech - Warnings to American Jews!
He
spoke the truth for all to hear!
[These
are Rabbi Meir Kahane’s, may G-d avenge his blood, last words to the Jewish
people, whom he devoted his life fighting for, going to prison for, trying to
warn them of all the dangers they are facing and will eventually face. Twenty
eight years ago, after these words that you will read, he was viciously gunned
down byEl Sair Nosair an Arab terrorist in Marriot East Hotel, N.Y.C.] November

Rabbi
Meir Kahane’s last speech urging American Jews to make emergency Aliyah (excerpts of speech)
I was born in this country, and I can’t recall ever, in my life, as much open and vicious Jew-hatred as I have seen in our time right now, in this country. I travel around from city to city, and in every city Jews tell me it is unbearable. Attacks upon synagogues, attacks upon Jews, all of which are of course buried. Because the synagogue doesn’t want it to be know. The ADL wants to report “there were 55 incidents this year in the United States”, when actually, there were 55 incidents in one hour in the United States. On radio programs which I am on – the telephone calls – open, open (anti-Semitism).
Two
Reasons for Increased Anti-Semitism
What has happened? What has happened in natural terms?
Of course, in divine terms, the Almighty is ending it
for us. But what is happening in natural terms? Two basic changes
have taken place in this country over the last twenty years. It began
slowly, now it is reaching its crescendo. We have seen the death of what
I call the “Auschwitz syndrome”. What is the “Auschwitz syndrome”?
After World War II, it was hard to be an anti-Semite, even for an
anti-Semite. It was just difficult. And then the years passed – ten
years, twenty years, twenty-five years, thirty years, and a generation arose
which was not born at that time. And the “Auschwitz syndrome” began to
fade away, and the guilt began to fade away. No matter how many Holocaust
programs were shown on television, every year they had less and less impact.
Indeed, they reach a point whereby they encourage anti-Semitism,
whereupon the anti-Semite says: “ Hey, you know, I know Jews, and the Nazis,
and they were probably right.” That’s what happens today. It fades
away. And to help things along, there was the rise of a strong Israel.
Suddenly, Israel was winning. And that allowed the
anti-Semite to cut the albatross. Now it was OK. You see, the Jew
are Nazis, and they persecute the Palestinians, and now it was OK. So the
“Auschwitz syndrome” faded, and it’s gone for all practical purposes. And
you hear people speak about the holocaust that the Israelis are perpetrating
upon the Palestinians. A Holocaust…So all the Israelis and all the Jews who
ever called me a Nazi and didn’t realize that when you call a Jew a Nazi, you
cheapen the Holocaust. And you cheapen the concept of Nazi, which is a
very unique thing. And by you calling a second Jew a Nazi, what you are
telling the world is” Jews can also be Nazis. Foolish
people and tiny dwarfs and pygmies, grasshoppers.
So the “Auschwitz syndrome” is gone. And another thing has happened.
After World War II, and until perhaps ten years ago, the American people lived
in an economic luxury such as we have not seen ever in world history. No
Roman emperor lived as well as the average American did from World War II on,
until fairly recently. Life was good. And when life is good, the
anti-Semite hates Jews quietly. It’s not a big deal to him. He
hates Jews, but he’s too interested in the Monday night football game. I
myself am amazed that so many people are here tonight that
don’t want to see the Giants massacre the Colts…
The
Economic Crises
So when times are good and he has his job, he has his beer and he has his TV
set, he has everything – he hates Jews, but it’s not that important to
him. But as the economic sands of time begin to run out, and as things
get bad and they get worse and suddenly there is a chill, there is a
fear. I can sense a fear in this country – people are afraid of what is
going to happen, and they have every right to fear it. This is a country
which is on the verge of economic horror, horror. In two years they
expect the national debt to go from 3.7 trillion to 5 trillion dollars, so they
work for months and months – this fiasco between Congress and this
administration – and they say, “we are going to cut 500 million dollars in five
years”. Five years! It is a joke – It’s a drop in the bucket.
This is a country which is dying because the thing that was saving it was the
fact that the Japanese are buying Rockefeller Center, Rockefeller Plaza – don’t
be angry. If they stopped buying it, no one is going to cover the
national debt. And they are stopping.
The dollar is a weak dollar today. Can you imagine: The Israeli shekel has held its own against the dollar now for a year. Don’t clap! It doesn’t mean that the Israeli shekel is strong. The shekel is weak; the dollar is just as weak. The Japanese don’t want dollars anymore, they want German marks. And they’re investing now in South Korea, Thailand, Singapore. The banks here are shaking, they’re tottering. In their greed, in the 1960’s and 70’s, they gave loans to anybody. The Congo came – you want money, take the money. Mexico came – take 100 million dollars – take, take it, take. Suddenly, the Congo couldn’t pay back. If that’s what a banker is…did he expect the Congo to ever pay back in total? So hundreds of millions of bad loans are being held by major banks: Chase Manhattan, Citicorp – and they are in deep, deep trouble today. And on top of that, suddenly the real estate market has collapsed and they are now holding several more hundred million dollars of bad mortgages. That’s the tragedy. That’s why suddenly, there’s a hurry talk about Chase merging with City.
There’s
a myth that your money is insured for $100,000. If the FDIC had 60 cents for
every hundred dollars that you have, I’ll swim back to Israel. There is a
myth that they are going to bail out the Savings & Loan with 40 billion
dollars. If they can make it with less than half a trillion, it will be a
miracle.
So for years, the new economists said, “Don’t worry about deficits, it doesn’t matter. Deficits don’t matter? I know that when my bank account is in deficit, it matters to me. The bank calls me up and says, “Rav Kahane, we have a little problem. Would you like to come and cover it?” A city can go a little deeper into debt than I can, and a state deeper yet, and a country can go a little deeper yet; but, in the end you have to pay the piper. So, America has lived beyond its means – extra credit, credit cards – and give anybody credit, give kids credit cards – anybody. Now it’s time to pay the piper, there is no money, there is no money. And should the economic collapse come it is the Jew who will be blamed. It is the Jew. You can hear it already. You can small it in the air.
The
Racial tension – In all Colors
I was on a radio program in Chicago. Every single caller blamed the Gulf
oil crisis on the Jews. Every single call. What you have now is the
getting together of all these crises – the economic crisis, the racial crisis –
and there is a serious racial crisis in the country. It’s a serious
one. It is a dangerous one. Whites hate Blacks and Blacks hate Whites and
they both hate Jews. It is a terrible, terrible thing. It’s not
just Whites and Blacks. Now in the West, it’s the Hispanics and the
Anglos – tremendous crises, which only proves all the more the myth of the
melting pot. Uh nechtiga tag –what melting pot? A melting pot
is fine until there is a terrible crisis and then two “objects’ occupy the same
job at the same time. That’s a law of physics, which I’ve changed a bit…
So it’s not an accident that Jesse Helms is now putting on TV ads talking about
the unfairness of quotas. Quotas are unfair. Of
course, that is his trump card. People are angry about quotas and
affirmative action, etc. And Blacks are angry. You think that
Blacks have no argument? You think they are all bad? – that everything
the Blacks do is wrong? You think that Bob Grant is your kind of
guy? G-d forbid! This Jew-hating fascist type. That he says
something good many, many times –you’re right. You think that bad people
don’t often say correct things? Of course they do – but watch him, watch
him and be careful of such people! People who are anti-Black will always
be anti-Jewish too. One doesn’t have to love Farrakhan or Jesse Jackson
to realize that he should be careful of racism of all kinds – White and Black –
be careful, because we get stuck in the middle. Because the Whites and
Blacks hate us both.
The
Pre-War Depression: Not a Criteria
We have a serious problem – the
economic crisis cannot be averted. There is no way. This country is in
for terrible, terrible times. People tell me in the depression it was
also bad. It’s true. But first of all, who knows what would have
happened in this country if World War II had not ended the depression? If
you think that Roosevelt ended it, you don’t know history. World War II
ended it. It gave jobs finally, but more to the point, it was a different
era back then. The American people at that time were a much stronger
people in character. Today, after 40-50 years of good life and soft life,
and the materialistic life, people are into themselves. Unbelievable ego.
Everything is me, me – my life, my body, my-me, my-mine. People are
incapable today of making sacrifices and that’s the great, great difference
between today and what happened in the depression. The person who is
fairly poor and gets poorer – not so terrible. The person who has it and lost
it becomes a wild animal, a raging animal. He’ll not accept it and will look
for a scapegoat. He’ll look for some target to blame. We Jews are
the most visible, the most highly visible in terms of power, in terms of
money. Of course, Wasps have more money than Jews have. Certainly,
Jews are not into U.S. Steel and banking and so on, and the real, real money is
not Jewish money, but that doesn’t matter because Jews are in those professions
that are most visible.
How
to Gauge anti-Semitism: Go to a Bar
So in the bars, it sits the jealousy and the envy of the Jews which leads to
hate. The tragedy as I’ve said a million times is that the average Jewish
leader in this country has no idea what people say ago about Jews in bars,
because the average Jew doesn’t go into a bar – and he should; he should be
compelled to go into a bar. Every rabbi before getting “smicha”, before
being ordained, should be compelled to go into a bar and find out what the real
world is like. It isn’t a joke. I’m serious. To hide in some little
ghetto, you never know what the world is. They hate us with a passion out
there, with a virulence which is frightening to see and to hear. On every
radio program I go on, I hear, “why should we give you guys three billion
dollars a year”? Anytime some fellow from the Israeli consulate is asked
that question, he comes up with the answer, “well, we help you too, etc.”
Baloney! The only way to get rid of that question is to answer as I do,
“I don’t want the money! I want Israel to be a free enterprise state and
allow private enterprise to flourish and then we don’t want your money, I don’t
want your charity.” So, that of course gets rid of the question, but it
doesn’t get rid of the anti-Semite. He’ll go home mutter in his beer and
pretzels. He’s still there. He’s still there.
Role
of the Prophet – To See It and say It
The rabbis tell us that G-d told Moses and Aaron. “I’ll make you Jewish
leaders on one condition that if they throw stones at you, you’ll accept
it.” Rather to be pelted with stones and not with dollars. That’s
what a Jewish leader has to be! Say the bitter truth, even though they
won’t like you. They won’t like you; they’ll attack you, but tell the
Jews the truth if you love them. If you love Jews, tell them the things
which will make them angry, but which can save their lives. That’s what
you have to do! Think carefully about what I’m saying, and that is why we
created this group called ZEERO, Zionist Emergency Evacuation Rescue
Organization. It’s a name that provokes. And we hope that as we
spread this idea it will provoke Jewish leaders to attack so we can debate the
controversy that arises. People will say he’s right; he’s wrong, and so
on. Of course, this is probably the worst thing you can ever tell any Jewish
leader, any Federation leader – that he should leave here, and go to
Israel. What’ill do there? .
The rabbis say: “Who is wise? He who sees the future”. It’s
no big deal to see “today.” A Jewish leader has to see tomorrow.
Living
in Israel – Difficult; Living Elsewhere – Impossible
It is coming here! It is
coming here! Friday night I spoke in Brooklyn in shul, and I had to walk
through Bensonhurst, a white neighborhood – nice people, because they’re
white…Watching the people, the kids, you can smell the violence, you can see
the hate, you can see the envy – frustrated, bored, looking for action.
You can see it. Those are the potential mobs. And G-d forbid, we
will see it. So ZEERO is a very serious project of Kach, and I mean a
serious one. And I know how hard it is to go to Israel – it is really
hard. Hard to make a living. My son goes into the army every single
year. It’s dangerous and so on. All of it is true. Everything
that’s all true. That’s all true. It’s hard to live in Israel, but
it will be impossible to live here, and if we go to Israel, at least there we
can change the country. Of course we can change it and make it better and
make it tremendous and make it safe. Of curse we can do that if we have
the power in the government, but here there is nothing you can do to change it,
it’s out of our hands. We are a minority and we are strangers here.
We’re stranger in this land, no matter how many years we’ve been here.
It’s not an accident that so few German Jews survived the camps. The
Polish Jew did better. Why? Because the Polish Jew wasn’t
surprised. It didn’t shock him that gentiles could behave like
this. It didn’t surprise him, so he wasn’t shattered inside, he wasn’t’
broken. But the German Jew was psychologically shattered. How could
this be? I’m a German. I’m a German. How could it be? How can
you do this to me? The Pole knew he was a Jew. The German was
broken because his whole illusion was shattered. And that’s how the
American Jew lives. “I’m an American”. It’s the gentile who
will teach you so quickly that you’re a Jew.
It’s no just in the bars, in the
working class bars the anti-Semitism that you see. When you see the news
media and their attitude towards Israel; it’s not anti-Israel – it’s anti-Semitism. Do
you know why they hate Jews? Because among intellectuals there is a
jealousy of Jews. When Truman Capote, the famous author, a sickness, a
disease who represents all that is sick about Western culture – when he spoke
about the publishing business being a Jewish mafia – you can see the
jealousy. [He writes] how Jews are over represented in publishing, in
broadcast, in movies, etc. Of course it’s so – they have talent.
Untalented people don’t like to think it is because of talent. They like
to think they run it because their friends, their uncles, their aunts and so on
and so forth. The hate runs across the board. You can see Peter
Jennings’ anti-Semitism. You can see it! And when I hold press
conferences in Israel and I see them sitting around, you can watch them all –
the hatred.
