"Let None Dare Call it Treason"
In the Light of the Jewish Idea by Rabbi Meir Kahane
by Nachum Shifren
 

This will come as a shock to you "Zionists" out there that haven't heard the post-mortem about this institution. Better look up a new
ideology for yourself. The latest aliya statistics confirm that the patient was dead on arrival: nobody is interested in "Zionism" nowadays
except the religious. Interestingly enough, it was Ehud (one-world-order) Olmert himself who bemoaned this fact;
Jerusalem was in "danger" of becoming a place of only Charedim and Arabs. The inference here is that Zionism must also be inclusive, able
to embrace a "diversity" of thought (Oh, how I hate that word!). The inference here is that we as Jews need to be ‘normal’ people, with
bowling alleys, fast foods, malls, drugs, prostitution, and pop culture. If anything drove the nail in the coffin of "Zionism," it was the
latest outrage in Lebanon. As if, the ripping out of 8,000 families in  Gush Katif didn't cause this, but let's not go there right now.

We, (the Jewish people), went to war against an enemy that took our soldiers. We had to get them back. We went to war to crush our enemy,
to prevent them from ever harming a Jew ever again. Where are the soldiers? How long will it be until the rockets start up again?
Everyone knows the answer. Therefore, we must ask some hard questions about this treachery that truly endangers every Jew on this planet.

The government knows that Hezbollah (may their name be blotted out speedily in our days) will attack again. Why did they stop their
incursion to eliminate them? Because this government fears the Gentile more than they fear the G-d of Sinai. They believe, against their own
logic and bitter experience with the UN, that somehow the ‘peacekeepers’ will watch over them. Could there not be a crueler joke than this? The
UN that voted to sanction Israel, calling Zionism racism? The UN that never tires of censuring Israel as expansionist and a denier of "human
rights. (Hmm, well, they may have something there, with all the times we got arrested for attending Kahane demonstrations!).

A friend of mine wrote me, "Why should I go to reserves and serve in Lebanon for a country that ripped me out of my home in Gush Katif and
gave my land to the terrorists? Our family remains homeless, moving  from place to place. Every dime we had, we invested in our home. Now,
they want me to die in Lebanon? I'll go to jail first!"

This has all the makings of a civil war. It is not Jihad, Hezbollah, or, Al Qaeda that threatens the Jewish people. It is the illegal,
corrupt, anti-Jewish government of Israel that is sending us to the brink. How much longer can the Jewish people tolerate a system that has
more concern for the terrorists than Jews?  Never before in the history of the IDF has a system brazenly abandoned
its soldiers in the manner that we have recently witnessed. Where are they? What message does this send to the terrorists? There is a tight
media lockout against the ideas I am expressing in this column. You will never hear a reporter or journalist in Israel say the things I do,
because he knows what will happen to him, his family, and his job. We are, simply put, living with a regime that thinks only of its grip on power,
whatever the cost in human life or Jewish souls. It's just that nobody's got the gumption to talk about it. And that's why they had to
get rid of Rabbi Kahane. At every turn, he pointed out the contradiction between Judaism and the state of Israel.

So let us not dare to call this latest debacle what it is: treason, pure and simple. In any other normal (secular) country, these leaders
would be rounded up and put before a firing squad. Bring it on. Bring on the war we know is coming. Bring on the Jewish "sleeper cells" in
Israel that will liberate the Jewish people from the long love affair the state has had with fascism a la Soviet Russia. Bring on the
struggle we know must ultimately liberate us from a liberal "supreme" court that gives more rights to Arabs than Jews. Bring on the struggle
over the Temple Mount where Jews are forbidden to tread; but where Arabs desecrate the site daily. Bring on the fight to free from political

prisons the followers of Rabbi Kahane, yet Gay and Lesbian "pride day" marches are held through the city of
Jerusalem.

No, it isn't the Arab I fear. It's the Leftist Jew, sitting in the Knesset, mandating, sanctioning, betraying the promise of Abraham with
the bat of an eyelash. It is the Jewish lemming that darkens my soul, knowing full well that he prefers a fiery death from Hamas rather than
to yield to the Sovereign of the world, to His word and promise. This Sabbath, we shall read: "Behold, I have given you a blessing and a
curse. A blessing if you follow my commandments. A curse ...” if otherwise. The government of Israel has spoken and made their decision.
It's now up to us.
