US supporters of Israel -

If you could vote in the upcoming national elections, who would you vote for and why?

As an American Jew or Jewish American, do you wear Israeli Colored Glasses?

If no, why?

If you are Jewish, you must feel the connection to Israel in many ways.
One of them has to be as a safe place to escape. Are you prepared to make Aliyah?
If not, why not? What if you had to, what would you do? Would you go to
Nefesh B'Nefesh? http://www.nbn.org.il/index.php

Consider all possibilities.

The Awakening Monster: By Moshe Feiglin

What did you think, dear Hebronites? That if you paid an outrageous price, photographed and filmed the transaction for the 'Peace House' and the Arab seller standing on his head and swearing by the tail of the horse of Muhammad that the building is his and he is selling of his own free will - that you could rest easy? Did you think that the law would be on your side? That the Supreme Court would answer Amen? What, beloved brothers, did you think?

You simply do not understand that we are currently facing destruction. As far as Israel's decision makers are concerned, Hebron and all of Judea and Samaria no longer exist. Israel's 'leaders' are completely subservient to the legal/media/cultural/financial/security/academic elite that vigorously clutches the steering wheel of our Titanic.

In the good old days of Gush Emunim, Zionism still existed. There were forces in the Zionist Left that supported settlement throughout Israel. Gush Emunim took full advantage of that breach and with a combination of determined settlement of the land and legal and bureaucratic toil - it dotted Yesha with Jewish settlements.

But today we are on a completely different page. The elites have conquered the country and closed all the breaches. Gush Katif - established by the Labor party in the most legal of procedures - is dust. The elites are just waiting for their next opportunity. After Amona, Kadimah's popularity took a plunge and Olmert withdrew his Convergence plan and the continued struggle against the settlers. But it seems that the period of grace is drawing to an end. What is happening now at the Peace House is the awakening of the monster.

So now what do we do?

First, we must understand that the main objective of the government mechanism today is the destruction of all the settlements in Judea and Samaria. Our Sages teach that in times of shmad, destruction, we must not make the slightest retreat. It is a zero sum game and every retreat will be used to facilitate further destruction.

Second - and much more important. There is no relevant political arena outside the Likud. The Likud is not just another party. It is the national battle field. The rightist parties that were and that will be are completely irrelevant. We saw solid proof of that last week, when former head of the National Religious Party Eitam knocked on the door of the Likud and was not accepted.

The faith based public must connect to the large national camp and make its voice heard inside the Likud. The direction that the Likud takes is determined by its members. If just a fraction of the energies of the faith based public was redirected from struggling over every house to making its influence felt in the Likud - we could have been assured an impressive number of faith based Likud MKs and a much more Jewish-values oriented Israel.

Now you will remind me that the Likud destroyed Yamit and that the Likud destroyed Gush Katif. That is completely true. But the responsibility for that is on the shoulders of those people who ran off to hide in their sector-based parties instead of joining up with the broad national camp and wielding their influence there. Just think of the Likud as the parliament of the entire national camp. Everybody is welcome to join and to vote. Instead, we prefer to stay outside and demonstrate.

The monster that has awakened now in Hebron may wait until after the elections to rear its head again. It doesn't even care who wins.

What to do now? Run to register for the Likud!



Let's get Moshe Feiglin elected to the Knesset!

Let's make Israel the Jewish state that we've always dreamed of!

Excellent Achievements at Likud Central Committee

Sunday's Likud Central Committee meeting brought good news for Moshe Feiglin and his supporters. These achievements are the fruits of long and hard behind-the-scenes efforts. First, the list of eligible Likud voters was closed at approximately 96,000 eligible voters. We successfully blocked the motions to allow 'registration by crate' in which a particular candidate registers thousands of people who have no affinity to the Likud just so that they can vote in a particular election.

In addition, we successfully blocked the attempt to save preferred spots on the Likud list for 'all-star' candidates. Along with other Central Committee members, we also successfully blocked the merger of Uzi Dayan's Tafnit party with the Likud, thus preventing the 5,000 Tafnit voters from voting in the upcoming Likud primaries.

The Central Committee decided that every voter will vote for 10 candidates on the general list and one candidate in his district. This decision works in our favor.

The stage for our success is set. Now it is up to us to get Moshe Feiglin and associated faith-based candidates elected to the Likud Knesset list!

Despite the fact that the chances that I would also be elected to the Knesset are good, I have decided not to run this time and to dedicate 100% of my efforts to Moshe Feiglin's success. Moshe Feiglin is a symbol. His election to the Knesset will create a new political power balance in Israeli society.

The struggle to get Moshe elected will not be easy. There are a lot of popular people trying to get into one of the 19 relevant slots on the Likud list. We call upon each and every one of our friends and supporters to do whatever you can to help. Every small donation counts. We also need people to call or visit the homes of Likud members and talk to them about voting for Moshe Feiglin, and volunteers to be at the polling places on voting day.

Our readers in Israel may already have received phone calls from various candidates asking for their support. Please ask them one question: "Will you be helping Moshe Feiglin?" If the answer is "yes" and they will call upon their supporters to vote for Moshe, we can support them. If not, not. All of our energies are focused on a clear goal. Politicians understand this logic very well: Help Feiglin and we will help you.

In addition to Moshe Feiglin, we will also be supporting other Manhigut Yehudit associated candidates:
Sagiv Asulin on the young people's slot, Asya Anatov on the olim slot (the olim have slots number 21 and 30, and Asya's chances to be elected are excellent.), and Shmuel Sackett on the Yesha slot. Shmuel Sackett co-founded the Zo Artzeinu movement together with Moshe Feiglin and is the International Director of Manhigut Yehudit.

We are all in this together. We need to pray, donate, convince others, do all that we can – and G-d will help us.

Campaign Up and Running



Above is the latest Moshe Feiglin sticker/logo. Loosely translated, it says:
Feiglin - You can believe!

Moshe Feiglin's campaign is up and running. Moshe and his staff are busy meeting with Likud leaders and voters throughout Israel. In addition to the smaller, daily meetings, the Moshe Feiglin campaign headquarters will be holding a central rally on Wednesday, the 28th of Cheshvan, (Nov. 26) at 6:30 p.m. at the Jerusalem Renaissance Hotel. For those of you who live in Israel, this is your opportunity to meet Moshe, associated faith-based candidates who will be running for slots on the Likud ticket and other public figures who will be there to express their support for Moshe. It is also your chance to donate and volunteer. Most importantly, the rally is your chance to show your support for faith based leadership for Israel!

The following is Moshe Feiglin's latest Hebrew movie. The movie opens up with famous political journalist Ayalah Hasson's television appearance in which she declares that Moshe Feiglin may be elected to one of the top five slots on the Likud list. She is followed by Moshe Feiglin's appeal to his supporters to come to the rally, to donate to his campaign and to make sure that Ayala Hasson's projection will become reality.

Don't Vote for Leftist Opportunists

It seems like every day, more and more public figures are joining in the race for a slot on the Likud ticket. The fact that a diverse array of nationalists will be running in the primaries is a positive phenomenon. It means that the Likud is a broad-based national movement. We must strive to make the Likud the political home of the entire national camp - from Yisrael Beiteinu to Shas.

Not surprisingly, though, a number of leftist opportunists have also joined in the primaries race - among them Expulsion supporters Dan Meridor and former Police Chief Asaf Chefetz. It is fine for candidates who represent a broad spectrum of views to run in the Likud primaries. We can only hope that the Likud members will not be dazzled by the media hype surrounding these men, and will vote for the candidates who truly represent the nationalist camp!

The Jews Who Got Obama Elected: By Moshe Feiglin


For some reason, it is always the Jews who are deeply involved and sometimes responsible for the revolutions in the world. It is the Jews who are inexplicably driven to perfect the world in the name of some cause. If they are not busy perfecting the world for the Kingdom of the One G-d of Israel, then they will throw themselves into the perfection business in the name of communism, liberalism or some other ism. Whenever you peek behind a real revolution, you will discover a Jew – pulling the strings.

Barack Obama's meteoric rise to power is a revolution. It is difficult to describe this revolution because it has gone to great lengths not to describe itself. Time will tell exactly what revolution we dove into this week. But one thing is for sure – it is a revolution, indeed.

Who are the Jews who got Obama elected?

On the surface, the answer is simple. Obama's campaign manager - the brains behind the brilliant campaign of the young candidate who has never filled an executive position in his life – belong, of course, to a Jew - David Plouffe. Jews were prominent at every level of the Obama campaign, as well.

But I do not think that it is the Jews on Obama's staff who created the revolution. The two Jews who got Obama elected are in completely different places. They are two Prisoners of Zion.

The Jew more responsible than any other person for Obama's victory is my friend, Natan Sharansky. Sharansky is a man to be admired. His personal biography, captivating personality and uncompromising integrity have won him wide acclaim. If given the choice, Sharansky may not have chosen the path onto which G-d put him, but his image has become synonymous with the small man whose courage broke the Iron Curtain. Whether he intended to or not, Sharansky has become a cultural icon in the U S – a beloved hero. He is the man who defeated America's challenger – the USSR – and proved that the human spirit can triumph against evil. Sharansky promotes traditional American values - the values that inform the Republicans in general, and Bush in particular.

Bush and Sharansky became close friends. It was easy for Bush to adopt the former Prisoner of Zion's doctrine as the resounding proof of the wisdom of his world view. Sharansky's book "The Case for Democracy," became Bush's second bible. According to Bush, the book became a permanent fixture on his night table and he referred to it often. Sharansky became a frequent and welcomed guest at the White House. Admirably, this modest man did not publicize the many meetings and personal relationship that he had with the US president.

What does this have to do with Obama?

Bush seems to have received the inspiration or reinforcement for his ill-advised quest to democratize Iraq from Sharansky. Bush Senior understood that the US could not enforce its values on a Muslim society. He made some serious mistakes in the First Gulf War – but he did not entangle his country in an attempt to create an impossible reality on the basis of an appealing, but patently unrealistic theory.

There is not and will never be democracy in Arab Muslim society. Democratic and Muslim values are mutually exclusive. America's embroilment in Iraq is not the result of poor military planning (although that is party of the problem) as the American Right attempted to claim. America's embroilment in Iraq stems from an unfounded and even childish world view. The mis-attempt to democratize Iraq is the point at which Bush's presidency began to collapse. Barack Obama's rise is just the flip side of the large shadow of Bush that hovered over McCain's campaign.

There is another Jew – a Prisoner of Zion – who also has a hand in Bush's collapse. When Bush was elected to his second term, I sent him a letter that was personally delivered into his hands. I addressed him as a believing Jew writing to an American of deep faith. I congratulated him on his victory and wrote that I believed that the continued incarceration of Jonathan Pollard – a righteous Jew who acted to save his brethren when they were in danger – would result in a catastrophic term for Bush.

The Biblical verse "and I will bless those who bless you and those who curse you, I will curse" is a guiding light for many believing Americans. George Bush forgot that verse and placed himself on the side of the cursed.

But there is still a chance to rectify the situation. Jonathan Pollard has been rotting in a US prison more than double the time that Natan Sharansky was imprisoned in the USSR. Pollard's actions to save his brethren do not go down well with Israeli politics – or with American politics, either. But now that Bush is leaving office, he can be motivated by his conscience instead of by politics, and pardon Pollard. We must do all that we can to put Pollard back on Bush's agenda. We must also be on the side of the blessed.

Something Good is Happening in the Likud


Something good is happening in the Likud. Nationalist ideologues are entering the primaries race for the Likud Knesset list - among them Benny Begin, Uzi Landau and possibly Yair Shamir. These people are genuine nationalists and we must receive them with open arms.

Effie Eitam's announcement this morning that he also intends to join the Likud and run in the primaries is an even better piece of news. His step widens the bridgehead originally forged by Moshe Feiglin. It emphasizes the fact that more and more religious nationalists understand that integrating into the national camp's leadership tool - the Likud - is the only way to progress. Unfortunately, it seems that Netanyahu is trying to block Eitam's entry into the Likud and not to authorize his candidacy.

The following is Moshe Feiglin's press release on this topic:

Accept Eitam into Likud

"Effie Eitam's decision to join the Likud is an important step in the religious/nationalist camp's integration into its natural ruling party. It is not acceptable that blatant leftists such as Uzi Dayan and Asaf Hefetz have received the authorization from Chairman Netanyahu to run despite the short amount of time that has passed since they joined the Likud, while Effie Eitam - a person from the very core of the nationalist camp - is rejected by the Likud citing the very same reason."

On the one hand, there is a strong nationalist trend inside the Likud - for which we have worked over the years. On the other hand, though, there are still those in the Likud who oppose the faith-based direction and continue their attempts to prevent the refreshing change so vital to the Likud's success.

Now more than ever, Israel needs Feiglin in the Knesset!

The race for a realistic slot in the crowded list is going to be tough. It is important to remember that Moshe Feiglin is the only faith-based Likud candidate who dares to directly face off against the justice system and media.

The following (Hebrew) film succinctly presents Moshe's views on these issues.
