Only Thus

         

The waves of religious insurgence grow higher in Islam and in Christianity, too.  And the gentilized Jews, who kneel daily at the altar of secularism and pagan Schindlerism, call it “fanaticism”.  Hopeless and hapless Brickners; what can they know?

The days are moving toward their appointed climax; the era of redemption is at hand it.  It is immutable, nothing can change it, and it is only for us to understand what is happening – and why.

There is a G-d.  The L-rd, G-d of Israel. He is the G-d of history, the One who created the world and who ordains what will be.  He created it, and for a purpose.  That Man shall know Him, shall worship Him, shall recognize that the L-rd is G-d.  “For then will I turn the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the L-rd to serve Him with one consent.” (Zephaniah 3).

The history of the world is one of those who “know not the L-rd.”  “Who is the

L-rd that I should hearken unto His voice… I know not the L-rd!”  The words of Pharaoh, words that I have echoed down the corridors of history, the words of those who refuse to recognize that the L-rd, G-d of Israel, IS the G-d, the only ONE.

The struggle has been a long one, a might one, against the imposters and worshippers.  Baal, Ashtoret, Kmosh, Ra, Dagon, Jesus, Allah.  All the pretenders, all the false idols and spirits and names.  And only until the final struggle is joined and the L-rd emerges in direct war with the followers of false gods, will He be One and His name One.

And so, as long as we babbled about the struggle in Israel being one between Israelis and Arabs and even Jews and Arabs, as long as the Ebans and Schindlers and other pagan ignoramuses joined the pitiful pundits in discussing the POLTIICAL, problems in the Middle East, we held back the Messiah.

But that is changing.  The spirits of Islam and Christianity arise; the Pope meets with the Moslem and they speak in RELIGIOUS terms!  Ah, that is the beginning of the end.  Welcome the Khoumenis and the Popes.  Nod as the conflict becomes a religious one. For on the day that the religious battle is joined and Moslem and Christian war on Israel in the name of their gods – on that day will the anger of the L-rd be fierce. On that day, will He destroy His enemies so that they forever know that “Unto the L-rd is the kingdom and dominion over the nations.”

Declaration and Independence - 1981

THEY MUST GO  - 1981

BY RABBI MEIR KAHANE

Declaration and Independence 

[The moment the Memorial Ceremony started for our fallen soldiers in Ma’ale Adumim, the Arabs in the nearby towns started shooting fireworks.  They were celebrating the death of our soldiers.  Happy to say that the fireworks were stopped by our IDF.  Tomorrow eve when we will be celebrating Israel Independence Day and will light the sky with fireworks; will be a day of sorrow for the Arabs.  Let us read the following article and learn what Rabbi Kahane has to say about Arabs and Independence Day]

Declaration and Independence (excerpts)

“On the 29^th November 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling for the establishment of a Jewish State in Eretz Yisrael.  This recognition by the United Nations of the right of the Jewish People to establish their state is irrevocable.  This right is the natural right of the Jewish People to be master of their own fate, like all other nations, in their own sovereign state.

“Accordingly we, members of the People’s Council…hereby declare the establishment of a Jewish State in Eretz Yisrael to be known as the State of Israel.

“The State of Israel will be open for Jewish immigration and for the ingathering of the exiles…”

Note the innumerable clear statements of what Israel is meant to be.  The land is “the birthplace of the Jewish people.”  The first words of the declaration of the state set the time. It is the birthplace of the Jew – not the Arab – and it is the Jews who were “exiled from their land”; it is the Jews “who kept faith with it” and “never ceased to pray and hope for their return.”  Can we seriously expect the Arab to feel equal or to have a share in such a state?  A declaration of independence that he is expected to see as his own begins by speaking of the land as the birthplace of the Jewish people.  But, he is not a Jew.  The declaration speaks of an exile and a dream of return, but the Arab was not exiled, and if anything the dream of return of the Jew was the hope of making the Arab a minority.  For the Arab who dreamed of Jewish not returning, the Jewish dream is a nightmare!

When the Israeli Arab is told to rise for his national anthem, “Hatikvah” (the hope), and sing of  “the Jewish soul yearning” and “the hope of 2,000 years,” can he be expected to feel empathy?  Indeed, Israel’s resident self-hater, Uri Avnery, proposed in 1975 to change the anthem.  His reason made eminently good sense if you were an anti-Zionist: the song’s motif of Jewish longing for Israel is not acceptable to Israel’s Arabs.  When the Israeli Arabs looks upon the happy revelers on Israeli Independence Day, celebrating, in effect, the Arab defeat and the displacement of an Arab majority of Palestine by a Jewish majority of Israel, can he be seriously expected to join us?  When, in the words of the Independence of Independence, the Law of Return opens the gates “for Jewish immigration,” and not Arab influx, for the cousins of the residents of Tel Aviv and not those of Nazareth, is it surprising that the Arab feels alienated from the state?

The concept “Jewish” is dinned into the Arab’s angry head every day.  Well, he is not Jewish, and what perverse madness prevents us from understanding his alienation and rage?  Has it never occurred to anyone that the very existence of a Jewish state in the land where the Arab was once the majority makes him uncomfortable and that is unacceptable to him?

The State of Israel came into being as the Jewish state, the sovereign homeland of the Jewish people.  The State of Israel is the goal of Zionism, the movement of Jewish longing for a return to their homeland, a longing that began, not with Herzl in 1897, but with his great-great-ancestor, who wept as the Second Temple was destroyed in the year 70.  The State of Israel is that homeland for which Jews pray three times daily, turning their faces, not toward Mecca or Rome, but toward Jerusalem.  The State of Israel is the dream, vision, hope, tears, yearning of a Jewish people that suffered humiliation, exile, agony, poverty, Inquisitions, and Auschwitzes from its varied hosts throughout the world.  The State of Israel is the Jewish conviction that “Never Again!” is a concept that can be realized only in a land where Jews control their own destiny, their own police and armed forces, their own guns to guarantee the kind of respect the Zhid, Kike, Yahud and Yevrei never quite received from the mouths, fists, and boots of the majority culture where he resided in nervous insecurity.  The State of Israel is the Jewish demand for a land in which Jews can preserve and create their own specific tradition and way of life free of the spiritual and social assimilation of foreign abrasive culture.

The State of Israel is the Jewish demand for what every other people sees as its natural right.  The State of Israel is not a request, a plan, or a petition.  It is not a favor sought while crouching like some pauper at the back door of the nobleman’s mansion.  The State of Israel is the Jewish demand and affirmation of right to the land.  What the Arab state of Syria is to the Syrians, and the Polish state to the Poles and Burundi to Burundians and Muslim Pakistan to Muslim Pakistanis and Papua to Papuans, so is the Jewish state – at least - to the Jews.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.  There is no need to grow defensive about this.  There is no place for apologies.   The land is ours, the state is ours; let us be proud, let us be joyful, and, above all, let us be convinced.  Israel: the one land that the Jewish people have the right – and the obligation –to demand.  Israel: the sovereign Jewish state, owned and controlled by and for the Jewish people.  This is Zionism, this is Judaism; this is normalcy.

I do not feel sorry for the Arabs of Eretz Yisrael, no matter how much they feel that the land is theirs.  I do not feel for them because I know that the land is not theirs, that it is Jewish.  It is the one and only land that we have, whereas the Arab of Eretz Yisrael can find a home in any one of more than the twenty lands of his 100 million fellow Arabs.  I feel not pain for one who robbed me of my land, no matter how loud his false claim to it.  But as I feel neither pain nor guilt, I can understand this Arab and know the stupidity of the deception practiced on him.  It is a deception that does not deceive; for the Arab of Eretz Yisrael may be a robber and murderer of Jews, but he is not a fool.

An Urgent Proposal - 1982

RABBI MEIR KAHANE

ON JEWS AND JUDAISM

 

AN URGENT PROPOSAL

 October 15, 1982       

 

We are losing the real war and the immediate, urgent need is to save the Jew from himself.  It is not an exaggeration to say that the State of Israel stands at an unparalleled crisis, one that truly threatens to bring unthinkable tragedy upon her.  It is not the Arabs that pose this awful threat and the battlefront is not in Lebanon or the banks of the Jordan or where the Syrian and Israeli lines meet on the windswept Golan.

           

The battlefront is within the state and the people.  We are our own enemy.  That which no Arab state was or is capable of doing, the Jew successfully sets about to do.  The battlefront and the issue is not a Jewish-gentile one, but the Jewish loss of perspective, confidence, inner strength, certitude and clear identity.

           

For the first time in Israel’s history, a genuine anti-war movement marched and spoke and protested.  For the first time, a serious breach in Israel’s war unity was seen and doubt and recrimination and guilt corroded the one weapon that made Israel superior, over the years, to Arab manpower and firepower: certainty and confidence in the justice of the Jewish cause.

           

 More and more Jews today, within and without the Jewish state, are unsure of the justice of that cause.  Not only in Lebanon, for the overwhelming majority of those who protest the shooting in Beirut are prepared to march against the “oppression of the Palestinians” in the “occupied territories” and to demand their return as part of a “Palestinian state.”  And not only the “occupied territories,” for the vast majority of those protesters live with the worm of doubt in their breasts concerning the very right of Zionism to come, after 1800 years, to a land lived in by Arabs and to demand their land for a Jewish state.

          

Let no one deceive us.  It is not a fringe group that seethes with doubt and guilt.  It is a growing number of intellectuals and pseudos, and worse - of students and young people who knew not Joseph and the events and realities of a generation ago.  They are on both sides of the ocean:  Israeli and non-Israeli Jews.  They rot the state from within; they corrode the Jewish people with the vinegar of guilt and the poison of the gentilized concepts.  Cloaked in a mantle of morality sold in the marketplace of  “Justice and Ethics,” it is really the cloth of frustrated and lost people, torn by contradictions and self-hate.  The tragedy is that they stand in the pulpits, write the newspaper and “educate” them.  The gentile is not only absorbed in his own self-interest and not only driven by the innumerable sources of anti-Semitism, but more-the gentile is not relevant to the Jewish future.  It is what the Jews do that will affect their destiny and determine what will be with them.  Let us, therefore, cease the pitiful whining and apologetics.  Let us end our messages to the non-Jewish Garcia.  Let us concentrate our money, talent and efforts on Jews.   

The material must be based on the total, unqualified and uncompromised Jewish truth.  It must not be a public relations House of Gimmickry.  It must cry out the Jewish idea in its honest totality.  For too long have Jewish audiences been subject to a weak, apologetic, compromising “Palestinian.”  The latter must win the day.

           

 The organization must understand that it is late, very late; let us pray not too late.  For that reason, it dare not play the game of “let us not mention this because we may frighten away certain Jews.”  It must concentrate on the following points:

1)      The Land of Israel in its entirety is Jewish and the Arabs or any other people have no claim to it in any way.

2)      The Jewish-Arab dispute did not begin in 1967 or 1947 but has its roots in the very beginning of the Zionist return.  The issue is the very existence of a Jewish state of any size.  Perhaps that means that the Arabs will never make peace.  If true, it is sad, but Zionism was not born to bring peace to the land: it was created to build a Jewish state. 

3)      Israel has a right and obligation to annex all the liberated territories and settle Jews everywhere. If we have no right to Hebron, where Abraham lived, we surely have no right to Dizengoff street, built in the twentieth century and where the first Jew never walked.

4)      There is no “Palestinian” people.  They are Arabs, part of the Arab nation, and trespassers in the Land of Israel.  If they cannot accept the permanence and inviolate character of the Jewish state, let them leave and live in any of the 22 Arab counties.

      And above all:

5)      The Jewish destiny and future is predicated on the Jewish understanding that the Jewish people is a chosen and special one: chosen at Sinai by the G-d of Israel and bound by an eternal covenant that compels it to walk in the way of Torah.  What will be depends solely on that adherence to Jewish faith and laws.  

            

This is what the organization must expound.  Day and night, this is the message

 that must go out to the Jew.  Pride, not guilt.  Faith, not fear, Chosenness, not doubt.  And let the Jew learn to recognize the “Palestinians” for what they really are.  Let him learn of the pogroms and rapes of the 1920’s and 1930’s, long before there were “occupied lands.”  Let him know what would be if the Arabs, G-d forbid, emerged victorious, thanks in great measure to Jewish naivete and knaves.

           

This is an organization that must be funded, very well funded.  It must have offices worthy of the status of a major Jewish group.  It must hire dedicated but professional people.  The material must be of fine substance and form.  All of this is money and let every Jew ask himself and herself: If not now, when shall I give?  And if not now, what will there be tomorrow for me to give”  And if not now, where will I be tomorrow?

           

And one final point.  Unity. Let not the ancient evil of needless, stupid hatred wreck this last hope of the Jewish people.  No Jew who believes in the principles enunciated above can be barred.

      

Unity and Jewish pride.  That will save the Jew from himself.

[ Rabbi Meir Kahane tried to save the Jewish people from himself and the disasters that we face today.  Unfortunately, no Jew donated the necessary funds needed.]
