He was right!

In order to succeed in the struggle for Eretz Yisrael and achieve our goals we need to set things straight. What is the objective — and what are the means of achieving it? What is the vision and what is nostalgia? At the 14th memorial for Rabbi Kahane we took a poll of the participants. It turned out that close to two thirds of the hundreds of Jews who were there to honor his memory never merited to actually meet him in person. It is a great honor to the Rabbi and his memory that young Jews are learning his Torah and recognizing the correctness of his path.

Most people pine for the "days of old". In English this is called nostalgia. It turns out that there is confusion between ends and means, vision and nostalgia. Each has an important purpose, but in order to reap the benefits we must set things straight and put each in its proper place.
The purpose and vision is to create a Jewish State based on the Torah of Israel for the People of Israel in the Land of Israel, and to complete the process of Redemption or what is commonly referred to as "bringing moshiach". The vision hasn't changed. It was taught to us by Rabbi Kahane. Our forefathers dreamed and pined for it all the long years since the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the people from our land.
Rabbi Kahane aroused the desire of the nation for the messianic vision and rooted in it the hope that we can hasten the process. According to the verse in Isaiah 60:22 "I am G-d, in its time I will hasten it." If we merit it - it shall be hastened. The Rabbi taught that there is the possibility to merit a hastened Redemption, in all its beauty and splendor if we repent, especially in the area of true faith in G-d. He also warned us that if we do not take advantage of this opportunity to hasten the Redemption, it shall come in its natural time, but accompanied with harsh suffering.
We learned from Rabbi Kahane that the ends justify the means. Throughout the years of activism under his guidance we were willing to suffer with self-sacrifice the harassment, arrests and beatings. The Rabbi and the leaders of the organization even gave their lives in the full sense of the word and were murdered Al Kiddush Hashem.
We can learn from the self-sacrifice and the personal example of our rabbis. But we must know that Rabbi Kahane also wanted to create a movement of proud Jews who have a Jewish HEAD attached to their Jewish fists. The point is that even though the ends justify the means, they do not permit ALL means ALL the time, and the means certainly do not turn into ends themselves. We don't use violence and break the law for its own sake.
Kach and Kahane Chai were important organizations which successfully taught important lessons and brought us several steps closer to the final Redemption. Our fond memories will be retold to our children and written about in history books. But these organizations are no more. Even if we pooled all of our strength we wouldn’t be successful at replicating them. Displaying the symbols and keeping an organization running are not ends themselves — they were TOOLS to achieve our goal, and the goal remains unchanged. In order to achieve it we must set things straight and distinguish between nostalgia and vision, between ends and means. We must choose the means which best help us achieve our goal. We must utilize, and create if necessary, new tools to achieve our goal. We will decide the rules of the game. We mustn't remain stuck in the past; we must continue to bring the final Redemption.
