Israeli - SECURITY

National pride, an army geared to win and faith in G-d.

Israel's enemies will give nothing and receive nothing. Enemies must be defeated.

National pride in all diplomatic interactions.

Application of Israeli sovereignty on all land in Israel's hands.

Non-Jews who do not accept Israeli sovereignty should be encouraged to emigrate from Israel.

The goals of the army will be defined as liberation of the Land of Israel, defense of all areas currently in our hands and responsibility for the security of every Jew.

The ethical code of the Israeli army will be modified to conform with these goals and with Jewish ethics.

A military prepared to fight to achieve its goals deters the enemy from aggression.

Security for Israel and its inhabitants is a direct result of strengthened family values and education. If a Jew hasn't learned the real significance of the Land of Israel and if he is not loyal to his homeland, the message that he unwittingly broadcasts to his enemies is that his Land is free for the taking. Israel's lack of Jewish values and Jewish identity is the cause of our severe security problem. Oslo and the Road Map offer a solution -- to base Israel's security and very existence on justifying the claims of our enemies. These solutions have brought nothing but terror and death. What we need is the complete opposite; instead of justifying our enemies, we must immediately reverse the Oslo process. We must proclaim Jewish sovereignty over all the parts of the Land of Israel in our hands (as written in the Likud constitution) and regard the civilian populace that promotes terror as an enemy in every way.

The Temple Mount Has Already Been Ceded

We are in the midst of a strategic process to cede the Temple Mount. In the past, negotiations were first announced amidst handshakes and fanfare on a lawn in Washington, while the Right demonstrated. The current process is just the opposite: PM Netanyahu has already reached agreements in principle and now he is going to create the facts on the ground and get the public accustomed to the new reality.

The most potent landmines in the past negotiations were Jerusalem in general and the Temple Mount, in particular. Even with Ehud Barak, who was willing to give everything away, the deal fell through over the Temple Mount. That is why the opposite method is being employed in the current negotiations: First, Israel cedes the Temple Mount and Jerusalem while declaring that we are doing no such thing. But the facts on the ground show that we are – in front of our eyes. At a certain stage, the PM will have to admit the truth. The explanation will be, ‘Just as no Jew steps foot in the Eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem, so no Jew will step foot on the Temple Mount.’ This is a process in which the government is peeling layer after layer of Israeli sovereignty from the Temple Mount.

All the Israeli governments since 1967 have ceded the Temple Mount, step by step. On Netanyahu’s watch, this phenomenon has accelerated and in my evaluation is coordinated within the framework of a plan: not a capitulation here and there, but an overall plan.

Who is the Sovereign in Israel?

Nov. 6, '13


Today, after 17 years of investigation and trials, former (and future) Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman was acquitted by a unanimous court decision. Lieberman’s story forces us to face a serious question: Who is the sovereign in the State of Israel? The people, by means of their elected officials? Or bureaucrats, who appointed themselves?

I have decided to visit the elected mayor of Nazareth, Mr. Shimon Gefso, who is currently under house arrest for corruption charges. I know – they will accuse me of chasing after the votes of the Likud Central Committee; they will try to make me look guilty of corruption. But I am going.

I am not chasing after anybody. I will gain nothing from Gefso. Personally, I believe that he is innocent and that this is a classic “Dreyfus” case. But the real question has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of the newly re-elected mayor of Nazareth. Just as with Lieberman, the question is who is sovereign in this State? We, the people, by means of the people whom we have elected? Or a band of bureaucrats that has appointed itself as lords of the land?

The lords of the land attempted to prevent the residents of Nazareth from voting for Gefso. But the people of Nazareth (Heaven help us) disobeyed the lords of the land and elected him, nevertheless. Now they are teaching the sovereign – the people – a humiliating lesson. In a media-saturated operation, they have chosen to arrest Gefso just days after the election. They even had the audacity to demand a court order to distance him from city hall for 30 days; in other words, precisely the critical days in which he is supposed to get his municipal coalition together and begin working in earnest. As far as they are concerned, Nazareth can go to the dogs. The main thing is that they have the last word and that they will remain the sovereign and not the voters.

These lords must understand that the people have had their say at the ballot box. They must allow Gefso to fulfill the wishes of the public. In my opinion, all investigations and indictments against elected officials should be postponed until their term is over. I can say this now, because I wrote the same thing in an article about one of the politicians for whom I have nothing but contempt: the post-Amonah Ehud Olmert. This is what I wrote in May 2008:

Judicial Tyranny
I don’t think that it is proper to investigate a prime minister while he is in office. Not that I have anything good to say about Olmert. I know that he is corrupt and I have absolutely no good wishes for the prime minister responsible for Amona. But on principle, I think that there is a serious flaw in the fact that he is being investigated while he is in office.

What has actually taken place here is that a very small group of judicial officials – a group that was not elected by the public and whose motives are completely unknown – suddenly decides to investigate the man whom the public has elected to lead the country. In other words, a collection of technocrats has more power than the public. They can depose or change the officials elected by the public as they see fit.

I do not know why they have sunk their fangs into Olmert and his unexplained wealth, but that is not important. What is important is that the power to choose leaders has been removed from the public and placed firmly under the control of “the rule of law gang,” as former Justice Minister Chaim Ramon so aptly described them.

An elected prime minister or government minister should have immunity from police investigations for suspected offenses committed before his election. Unusual cases should be brought before the Knesset, where a special majority would have to authorize an investigation. When the official in question finishes his term of office, the investigation would proceed. The media should be allowed to continue to report on findings pertaining to the case, and the public should be allowed to decide whether or not to vote for the official once again.
If we do not insist on proper judicial conduct now, we will surely pay for it later, when the “rule of law gang” will depose yet another – probably rightist - government.
****

The lords of the land could have waited a half a year or so to go after Gefso. After all, they have waited for years until now. Why arrest him a week after the elections?

I have no idea what Shimon Gefso did or did not do. But one thing is completely clear to me. Nothing that Gefso did can be more corrupt than a legal advisor or a retired judge who robs the public coffers to the tune of NIS86,000 per month for his pension. There are currently 300 people from the legal system who star at the top of the pyramid of those who have dug their hands deeply into the public’s pocket and live the good life as a result of this essential corruption.

I am tired of all these stories. I was elected to the Knesset by the public, the sovereign. No bureaucrat or police officer will intimidate me. I will take my ethical credit and the public trust that I enjoy as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset to Shimon Gefso’s home to declare: The People are the sovereign – not self-appointed bureaucrats. Harass organized crime, drug dealers and those guilty of extortion. That is what you are being paid for. Remember that you are public servants – not the public’s lords.
 

Moshe Feiglin: Israel Must Defend Itself with no Interference

It's not much of a surprise that the US administration has turned its back on Israel - both in its negotiations with Iran and in pressuring Israel on the 'Palestinian' issue. The following is just a partial list of prominent 'friends of Israel' in the Obama administration, who are very close to the policy makers.

Arif Alikhan – Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Mohammed Elibiary – Homeland Security Adviser.

Rashad Hussain – Special Envoy to the (OIC) Organization of the Islamic Conference.

Salam al-Marayati – Obama Adviser, founder of Muslim Public Affairs Council and its current executive director.

Imam Mohamed Magid – Obama's Sharia Czar, Islamic Society of North America.

Eboo Patel – Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

We can also mention US Ambassador to the UN, Samatha Power, former Special Adviser to Pres. Obama, who openly called for the establishment of a large international force to protect the Palestinians from Israel.

In truth, who exactly is part of the Obama administration is less important than where we in Israel are holding. I have warned time and again that the erroneous policy of passing the responsibility for the Iranian nuclear program from Israel to the rest of the world will eventually lead to a nuclear Iran. What do we expect of America? For years we have been telling them that Iran is their problem. "OK," the US is now saying to us. "You convinced us. It is our problem. So please sit still and let us take care of our problem our way."

Feiglin Sheds his Bristles

Twenty years ago, MK Moshe Feiglin began a long journey. The journey’s end is the prime ministerial seat. In the meantime, he has managed to block traffic in the entire country, be put on trial, change the rules of the game in the Likud and feud with Binyamin Netanyahu, who buried a number of land mines under his legs. The land mines delayed the unconventional politician, but did not stop him. Today he is a Member of the Knesset and serves as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset.

The media still don’t know how to digest Feiglin the politician after years of categorizing him as an extremist and crowning him as the leader of a subversive group called “The Feiglinites”: Finally, they have begun to accept him. Feiglin, who is considered the most eloquent and one of the most talented speakers from among the rightist MKs, has become a popular guest in Israel’s television studios and news programming. Even when the media do not agree with him they are much more accepting of him than they were in the past.

Now that the political novice has spent many months of basic training in the Knesset, we set out to meet MK Moshe Feiglin to find out if anything has changed, moved or softened in his well-defined ideology.
“When it comes to my beliefs, I really don’t think that anything has changed. That is expressed in the way I vote in the Knesset,” says Feiglin, sitting down on the swing on his wooden porch. “I cannot vote against my conscience; that simply doesn’t work for me. If there has been any change, it is in my ability to accept different opinions and communicate with others.”

He also has an explanation for the change in his ability to accept and communicate with others: “When I established Zo Artzeinu twenty years ago, the neighbor across the street didn’t know my name. I was simply Tzippy’s husband. But then, with Zo Artzeinu, I blocked traffic in the entire country. Israel came to a halt. All at once, the whole country recognizes you and is forced to form an opinion of you, because they can’t get to work and they can’t get home. During that era, the media was totally drafted to support Peres and Beilin. They turned me into a demon, into their monster. You are in a situation in which you have no way to get your message out to the public without the media, which are on a single track against you. They cannot not interview you because you are the story, but they do everything they can to turn you into a monster. So you appear on the famous political show, Popolitika, and the entire panel sitting around you wants to eat you alive. You have one or two minutes to deliver the knock-out punch. Frequently, I did manage to deliver a knock-out punch, but the price of a punch is that you can’t do it softly. The struggle for the Land of Israel can turn you into a porcupine brandishing its quills.”

The Fiction That Bars Jews From The Temple Mount

If You Want to Shoot, Shoot. Don't Talk

The process of the destruction of the Jews that we know as the Holocaust – this is the historical example from which we must learn, and Netanyahu is correct in presenting the issue as such, despite the ridicule and scorn of his detractors – did not begin in 1939 with the start of World War II. The Holocaust began in 1933 when the leader of a large and important country was elected and from his Reichstag, announced his intention to destroy the Jews. The Jews had no way to react and the world stood by in silence. As a result, a question mark began to hover over the right of the Jews to exist. 
Later, when the opportunity to destroy them arose, this De-legitimization translated into the cooperation of the nations of the world; be it the active cooperation of the East or the passive cooperation of the West.

Yes, there is a bomb even more dangerous than any nuclear bomb: the bomb of De-legitimization. 
When Ahmadinijad began to threaten Israel and proceeded with actual preparations to make good on those threats, the world was confused. It anticipated an Israeli reaction similar to its attack on the Iraqi nuclear reactor. For decades, we have been dragging every visiting VIP to the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Yad Vashem, pointing to what happens to Jews when they don’t have their own state to protect them and basing our State’s right to exist on this claim. That has been a mistake.

Moshe Feiglin: 'Palestinian' State will not Secure Israel, but Destroy it. 21 Tishrei, 5774 Sept. 25, ‘13

Moshe Feiglin: 

Obama is wrong in saying that the creation of an Arab state in Judea and Samaria will guarantee Israel’s security.

A Palestinian state is not a guarantee of Israel’s security; it is a recipe for Israel’s destruction.



Moshe Feiglin: 'Palestinian' State will not Secure Israel, but Destroy it

Catastrophe is on the way......

Summing up his speech to his supporters, he said: "I want to wish us two things. First of all, just as we have made headway on the Temple Mount until now, let us wish ourselves that on Pesach, six months from now, we will say – 'Wow! A Pesach sacrifice is being sacrificed on the Temple Mount.”

The Fiction that Bars Jews from the Temple Mount

In his reply to the questions that I had addressed to Police Commissioner Yochanan Danino on the legal status of the Islamic Trust and freedom of access and worship for Jews on the Temple Mount, the legal advisor to the police, Brigadier General Shaul Gordon, wrote that in 1967, Israel’s government made a historic decision to allow the Islamic Trust (wakf) to control the Mount.

The truth is that no such decision exists.

When the Knesset’s Interior Committee convened on Monday, 12 Tishrei (Sept. 16, '13) the Police could not produce any document testifying to the above government decision. As the decision clearly does not exist, I demanded, at the first stage, to close the Temple Mount to Moslems during the Sukkot holiday just as the Mount was closed to Jews for the month of Ramadan.

It is unacceptable that Moslem rioters control the Mount while Israel’s Police Force, which claims to be the sole authority on the Mount, allows them to continue to riot while preventing Israel’s Jewish citizens from freely accessing Judaism's holiest site.

The following is a short summary of the points made by the police in their answer to my query about the legal status of the Islamic Trust on the Temple Mount and my full response to the Commissioner:
