The perception people have of matters is often diametrically opposed to
the reality of things. For instance, Rabbi Meir Kahane was considered
to be a racist by most people because of how the media presented him.
The reality is that Rabbi Kahane was the greatest Jew in the last two
thousand years. The state of Israel is presently groping in the dark
because its citizenry did not possess the wisdom to realize that Rabbi
Kahane spoke only the truth and that he could have led us to peace,
tranquility, security, and to all good things. Sadly, our foolish
people still do not realize this even today.
Another equally false perception is that the state of Israel is occupying Judea, Samaria (the so-called “west bank”) and East Jerusalem, just as in the past, it occupied Gaza, and before that southern Lebanon, and even before that, the Sinai Peninsula. The reality is that all of this land unequivocally belongs to the Jewish People because G-d gave it to us. Be that as it may, even under International Law all of the above mentioned land unequivocally belongs to the Jewish People. A learned treatise has recently been written by Adv. Howard Grief, who is nothing short of the world’s foremost authority on the modern return of the Jewish People to its homeland, on the inalienable rights of the Jewish People to all of the Land of Israel under International Law. This treatise is about to be published and is must reading for every nationalistic Jew, so that he may be equipped to debate with, and prove our enemies and Quislings wrong when they advocate Israel’s abandonment of integral parts of our motherland. A third dangerously false perception, and the reason why I am writing this article, is that Judaism is a religion like any other religion, and that Jews may be good Jews while living in any country, just as Catholics can be good Catholics while living in any country. This perception is patently false. We are not a religion; we are a people. We may not live anywhere; we must live in Israel. All 613 mitzvot are meant to be followed in Israel and only in Israel, otherwise G-d would have allowed us to live in the Land of Goshen and not have led us through the desert for 40 arduous years. The Diaspora, actually the Exile, does not complement the state of Israel, it insults the state of Israel, and more important, it insults G-d. There is room in the world either for the state of Israel, or for the Exile, not for both. The time will come when the Exile will be destroyed together with every Jew living therein. Don’t get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Please join us and come home to Israel now, before it’s too late, G-d forbid. The writer is an attorney who made aliyah 30 years ago and who had the honor to know and work for Rabbi Meir Kahane, of blessed memory, may the Lord avenge his blood. |
