Dear Governor Huckabee,
I am a great fan of yours and read your newsletter religiously .:)
Netanyahu is an amazing leader.
The economy in Israel is amazing. Politically PM Netanyahu has fostered friendship with Arab governments previously very hostile to Israel.
He has a great personal relationship with President Trump.
He has stood steadfast, strong and brilliant in the UN and elsewhere confronting a nuclear Iran knowing Israel is on the Frontline.
His opposition, Ganz is willing to prostitute himself with Israel's enemies, putting Israel in grave danger.
So why aren't the Israelis, especially the right, uniting behind PM Netanyahu?
Many in fact are resentful and apathetic and don't even want to vote because they are convinced the right wing parties as well are not an option.
Why is that?
Here are my thoughts.
There is a witch hunt on the religious Settler Youth and those that supported the late Meir Kahana and there is a delegitimization of the Otzma Yehudit Party led by Itamar Ben Gvir that align, support and defend Settler Youth and Rabbi Kahane's ideology.
These groups are slandered as "radical religious Jewish Right wing Settler youth" who engage in "Jewish Terrorism". As if there is the desperate need to balance the Arab Youth Terror indoctrination that in fact openly exists in UNRWA schools and Fatah and Hamas Islamic schools.
What goes around comes around.
Measure for Measure:
AIPAC called Baruch Marzl of Hebron, an Otzma Yehudit candidate, a racist.
Now AIPAC is called a racist organization by Democrat front runner candidate Bernie Sanders.
There is an ongoing witch hunt of manufactured criminal allegations against Netanyahu similar to the witch hunt against President Trump.
But while President Trump came out smelling like a rose with an increase of passionate supporters, Netanyahu is on his 3rd election still unable to put together a coalition.
Surely the hand of G-d is at work.
Baruch Marzl is as racist as is AIPAC. AIPAC is getting a taste of their own medicine.
Hilltop youth and the Kahane supporters and the Otzma Yehudit Party are as criminal as is Netanyahu. They in fact were prosecuted and persecuted by those Netanyahu put into power who later turned on him!
Another issue...
The Deal of the Century is by it's very essence a negation of the Covenant G-d made with our Forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and in principle is not consistent with G-d's Promise 'To You and Your Seed I have Promised This Land."
The borders of Israel, a defined area, is clearly delineated in Deuteronomy and Judea and Samaria fall completely within the delineated boundaries. Judea and Samaria is the Bible Belt, the Heartland of Israel, and the Path literally walked by Our Forefathers!
Yamit was given away by Menachem Begin a right winger. in 2005, 22 Gush Katif communities were expelled by then PM Arik Sharon, a once Likud right winger.
Netanyahu is not to be trusted to keep his promises.
Unless Netanyahu includes Otzma Yehudit as part of its technical bloc, voters are very wary and skeptical that he will indeed keep his promises. Using divide and conquer, he promises building and settlement growth and annexation in certain areas before elections and demolishes outposts in other areas as soon as he is in power. He was partner to the Wye Agreement and basically didn't effectively oppose the Disengagement from Gaza. His promises are coming from political considerations rather than ideological ones. They are therefore subject to climate changes.
A true litmus test as per their sincerity would be whether
PM Netanyahu and FM Bennett apologize for the miscarriage of justice against innocent Settler Hilltop youth. This conflict dates back to when the sons of Jacob sinfully sold their brother Josef.
PM Netanyahu FM Bennett, directly or indirectly, are responsible for spreading a blood libel that radical religious Settler Youth, settling in Samaria, are "Jewish Terrorists" and belong to a Terrorist Organization. They have wrongfully delegitimized a faithful group and surely G-d in turn will let them know what it feels like to be slandered and falsely accused.
I predict the minute Naftoli Bennett as Defense Minister conducts an operation against the missiles attacks in Gaza, he will be slandered as a Terrorist.
These are my thoughts.
I really have no clue why Naftali Bennett wrote an Op Ed on the NY Times of all places, August 7, 2015 condemning the Jewish Duma Arsonists accusing and slandering a fringe group of dangerous radical religious Settlers before there was an investigation. The only evidence he had at the time was Hebrew Graffitti and the say so of the Jewish Division of Terror of the Shabak, a very questionable source of objective investigators!
PM Netanyahu as well condemned them within 24 hours of the arson!
4 and a half years later the trial is still ongoing, with no credible evidence, just forced confessions following torture and an innocent man, Amiram Ben Uliel, is still in jail, sitting in isolation, permitted to see his 4 year old daughter once a week for a half hou while he sits behind bars and is permitted once a month to hug her. He gets an hour a day of sunlight.
He is denied private time with his wife since Amiram is accused of belonging to a nonexistent 'Jewish Terrorist Organization" a narrative that has been conceived, carried, born and bred by those who find idealistic religious Settlers of faith who can't be bought, a great danger to the State of Israel.
Campaigning for Likud with Netanyahu at the helm will be effective only once he and his partners Right some Wrongs and form a true United Right that understands that there is a sizable demographic in Israel who are G-d fearing and identify with Torah Laws and agree with the Otzma Yehudit platform. Rather than alienate this idealistic and productive party they should be embraced and appreciated as they love their fellow Jew and wish the State no harm.
Sincerely, Robin Ticker
