Why don't you go with the other belief based parties instead of Likud who like Bibi was unfaithful?
You will build on real strength rather than on an alloy. Your building can only be as strong as its foundation. Perhaps the reason the State of Israel is rejecting its own ideology in the present is because in it's formation it rejected the Torah. Rectification can come from recognizing the flaw and focusing on the Torah. You will attract not only people from Likud but also from Shas and UTJ. And most importantly you will stay true to your beliefs.
Sticking with Likud (Bibi and company) will be a thorn in your side. If you separate from Likud, your strongest advocates may come from the Youth who were betrayed. You can use their energy to work on their parents. Likud betrayed the youth in Gush Katif and Amona. They betrayed their belief in Eretz Yisroel Hashleima. They are willing to make deals and compromise. You can not change that or bring a reversal to what happened. It's like asking the battered wife to once again go into partnership with her ex
when he still hasn't proven in any substantial way that he regrets his actions from the past. How can she trust him? How can you expect anyone to believe that Manhigut will be capable of withstanding the enormous pressures of world powers if they choose to depend on a party that betrayed their very belief system. It is a serious flaw that will haunt Manhigut if they were to win. Winning is not everything. I wouldn't be so focused on winning but on sending out the right message. I'm all for trusting in Hashem. Be true to Hashem, His Torah and Mitzvoth and then you will only owe Hashem your successes.
It's time to put power and ego aside and be willing to work with others that are more in line with the Torah and the fundamental principal that Eretz Yisroel is our inheritance and that the Roadmap Solution is against the Torah and that only Am Yisroel are obligated in keeping the Mitzvoth that are in Sefer Devarim within the delineated boundaries specified in Parshas Masei.
Why are you so afraid to sound too Biblical. If you can win the war on giving The Torah Perspective legitimacy, than you will have won a major part of the battle. But you are correct to recognize what we are up against. Join with Benny Elon and Yamin and Hazit in this battle. Pick spokespeople of Yesha that are true to the Torah and our rights to Eretz Yisroel. Challenge Shas and UTJ to defend their position of having betrayed the Torah by not yearning to keep the Mitzvoth of Eretz Yisroel. Perhaps, with this approach, we have a fighting chance. I would call upon the courageous hilltop youth that fought the battle that the adults should have fought to join forces with you. State publicly that they, unlike the mainstream leadership stood up for Torah and for our Biblical Inheritance. Veheishiv Lev Avos Al Banim... Even enlist the little children, the Jewish Hizbollah (Tzivos Hashem) to quote from the Torah. Have a contest in the schools for the kids to find Parsha references of Bnei Yisroel's right to Eretz Yisroel ). In the High Schools let them set up mock Sanhedrins to decide on matters like what should be done to the Temple in Tzefat which worships the Sun. Should it be destroyed? Even if we don't win the elections initially, the Emes of our words will come through. With time we will prevail.
And if you say that the country is not yet ready for such a giant leap, then I personally agree with that statement. Therefore I would suggest that this Torah based ideology be allowed to be implemented on a small scale. If the State of Israel is rejecting parts of the heartland of Biblical Israel, then let a trial, self governing Torah based ideology be set up in precisely these areas that are being rejected. Give them the right to defend themselves from any aggression be in Kassam or Yassam. Allow them freedom of religion and allow them to be self governing. The general populace of the State of Israel does not wish to be coerced into a religious State and the religious population as well do not wish to be coerced to live a secular lifestyle. This seems to me like a wonderful compromise and let us live in peace and harmony and mutual respect with each other.
Any comments are most welcome.
The anti-Torah regime in power will not let us have any autonomy in any areas. This is the reason for both the destruction of Gush Katif and the abolition of the Relgious Affairs Ministry. The Knesset is now subservient to the ultrasecular court system. Jews have further been run out of their homes since the expulsion. The only way to defeat this system is to develop a massive majority which will form a non-coalition Jewish government. It will then face off against the Supreme Court with legislation to limit the power of the courts to undermine the Knesset and also change the procedure for appointing judges. You need a two-thirds majority to do that. At the same time there must be extra-parliamentary action used against the illegal force of the regime.

ReplyDeleteEven if the anti Torah Regime does not give us autonomy, at the very least we must be open about our freedom of religion and the right to live in all parts of Eretz Yisroel. If the gov't refuses to protect the rights of its citizens then, the citizens have a legitimate claim to break away from the government and do what it must to defend ourselves. We can take our cue from the American Colonies who refused to accept the government of Englands unfair Taxation w/o Representation. The people of Gush Katif had a legitimate right to assert their rights to remaining on the Land rather than have bulldozers destroy their property. They needed to enlist the support of the G-d in Heaven and then the support of Military Generals who would support the legitimacy of their claim to remain on their Land and to fight any aggression be it Kassam or Yassam with the help of their brethren soldiers between the ages of 20-60 with weapons similar to the weapons of their opponents rather than on a bunch of unprotected idealistic kids 18 and under.
