Feiglin's Next Move

We've all heard the rumors about Moshe Feiglin leaving the Likud. If and when that happens, I'll have a lot on my mind that I'll have to unburden. Let's just wait and see before we react. Frankly, its a no-brainer. What other choice does Feiglin have, if he wants to retain any credibility at all? In a sense he has "a damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation." I just hope we don't have a crisis of "Feiglinites" jumping off the bridge, if and when their savior admits that his policy was a mistake.

Somehow, I don't think thats going to happen. Knowing Feiglin, he'll spin it so that he's the victor. Then we'll have to wait for his next move. In the meantime, I'm going to give him the courtesy to gather his thoughts and present them to the public. Then we''ll jump on him. Unless of course, he's done t'shuvah, and admitted his mistakes. Let's just wait and see.

A brief word on those savage Yassamnikim capos that beat up a Rav the other day. My blood was boiling when I read about it. It's just like Europe. Where do they recruit these animals? When judgement day arrives, those sadistic thugs are going to know the real meaning of pain. The Almighty will not tolerate the desecration of His Name indefinitely. Without a doubt, Barak is the fiend that unleashes these dogs on Jews time and time again. But Barak wouldn't be anything if Netanyahu hadn't bargained with this sadist and given him the authority. Last I heard, the Likud won the last election. So Netanyahu is just as culpable whenever these animals beat the living daylights out of Jews, and violently molest religious girls for the pure thrill of degrading and debasing them. Once again, the hypocrites of the Left (and Netanyahu is every bit the Leftist) have proven, that they have a monopoly on incitement and violence against other Jews. In fact, whenever you hear them complain about religious incitement or "right-wing" extremism, you can be certain that the Yassamnikim capos are getting ready to crack open some Jewish skulls.

Hopefully in this world, but surely in the next, the current leaders of the "mixed multitude" are going to learn one way or another that The Almighty rules the earth, and that maggots such as themselves are merely scurrying around on borrowed time. May we see justice served in accordance with the Torah, before the next chag, when we celebrate the gift of the Torah.

Feiglin On His Back

Netanyahu Wins Vote to Delay Party Elections - Politics & Gov't - Israel News - Israel National News

I'm tired of writing about Moshe Feiglin and his army of Feiglinites. I'm tired of repeating myself and citing the same arguments over and over, as proof that Feiglin's master plan of rehabilitating the Likud is nothing but a grand delusion. I'm tired because Feiglinites invariably disappoint you when you appeal to their reason. Instead of answering questions and presenting thoughtful arguments, they read a chapter out of Manhigut Yehudit's playbook and parrot the same talking points. Or they get testy because you questioned their savior. Trying to reason with them is an exercise in the most impotent form of futility.

Yesterday wasn't a good day for Manhigut Yehudit. Feiglin had a chance to show his detractors that he was relevant and that the real "Likudniks" were behind him. What happened was worse than a beating. He was knocked out cold by the core constituency of a party he claims to represent. Over 77% voted for Netanyahu's plan to postpone elections (a ploy that gives Netanyahu ample time to stuff the party with "moderates" who support Oslo), and to turn the Likud constitution into an even greater sham than it already is.

And yet even after this most recent beating at the hands of his so-called supporters, Feiglin had the gall to call for the other religious Zionist parties to join the Likud. The same party that is slicing open Israel's throat on the world stage. The same weak-kneed Likud that grovels before Obama and the anti-Semites of the European Union, freezes construction, sells modern tanks to Turkey, beats up, imprisons, and harasses Jews, releases Jew-killers and arms them with assault rifles, allows rockets to fall on the southern towns of the country, closes down critical checkpoints, gives up Jewish land to the Arab Amalekites, closes the Temple Mount to Jews while propping up the accursed Wakf, and continues on the general and specific path of the treasonous Oslo accords. Is Feiglin insane? Did he forget yesterday's beating? Is he brain-damaged?

Several things are clear:

• The majority of the Likud Party rejects Moshe Feiglin and his vision. His party and platform are an absolute sham. The Likud supports Netanyahu. There is no grassroots revolution within the party. Feiglin is a liar.

• Feiglin craves power and respectability with the mindless pursuit of a zombie hungry for some brains. His ego is such that he cannot admit his mistakes, even when the truth hits him in the head and knocks him out cold.

Feiglin's loyalists have a decision to make. Will they continue to follow him into the abyss of irrelevance, or have they discovered the obvious truth, that Feiglin speaks for no one in the party. When was the last time that you heard anyone other than his lackeys publicly come out to support or defend him?

The Likud of today is the party of Benjamin Netanyahu, a despicable man who has no principles and no spine. It's time for the reasonable Feiglinites to wake up, because it is clear that Moshe Feiglin never will. Those who continue to support Feiglin are partners in the destruction of Israel. Its as simple as that. If only Feiglin heeded the title of his own book.

"Where there are no men...."

Here are several links to some past posts on Feiglin. There is a pattern here. Feiglin never learns:

Feiglin The Fool: What Will He Do Now?

A while ago, Moshe Feiglin and his army of "Feiglinites" declared a victory when a court ruled that Netanyahu couldn't legally postpone the upcoming elections for the Likud Central Committee. The Feiglinites were arguing that the decision favored them, because the Likud base was essentially made up of Feiglin supporters who were about to take over the party. Delusional nonsense like that. Utterly irrelevant now, because the Supreme Court overturned the court's ruling several weeks back, in favor of Bibi's postponement. The so-called "hawks" of the Likud party had another pie thrown in their face. MK, Danny Danon argued that time was on their side, because the Likud base still wants "democracy." I don't know whether or not Danny is correct. But I'm pretty certain of one thing. The Likud base doesn't want Judaism.

If the Likud base was as normal as Danon and Feiglin keep insisting, why is Netanyahu even in power? Were they indeed normal, Netanyahu would be touring the speaking circuit now as a self-proclaimed expert on terrorism, appearing as a guest on Fox News and Sean Hannity's radio show, rather than destroying the country.

Feiglin is so foolish that he's dangerous. Despite having struck out again for the umpteenth time, Feiglin is spinning it as proof that Netanyahu is afraid of him. In the meantime, the same clowns who always tell us that 'we're irrelevant and that we're standing on the sidelines', are standing on the same sidelines as the rest of us who realize that the current political scene is a sham. The only difference is that we still have our integrity. And we don't have the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katiff on our hands.

Moshe Feiglin isn't finished. If the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katiff didn't teach him anything, then nothing will. The only question is, what ruse will Feiglin cook up to keep his parade of fools going.

Shabbat Shalom.

The Return of the Feiglinites-Part III (audio post)

Moshe Feiglin's latest ruse to get his party faithful excited again. Enough of this insane nonsense, Moshe. Stop worshiping your Likud golden calf!

On Feiglinites: Part II

Say what you will, those Feiglinites sure are a sensitive bunch. My last post, "On Feiglinites", agitated some of the die-hards. Several posted their comments (always appreciated, even when we disagree), many more sent emails. Apparently, they weren't so happy with what I wrote about them. What was meant as satire (stereotyping them as asthmatic pencil-necked "nebs" and blind followers) bothered them. I'd like to apologize for the generalization, which I only meant in jest. Some of my best friends are asthmatic pencil-necked nebbish Feiglinites. (Sorry. I couldn't help myself.)

Allow me to be serious. In truth, I assume that most of Feiglin's supporters are intelligent people. Stop being so sensitive. My problem with Feiglin isn't personal. He's committed, he's G-d fearing, and he makes a lot of sense. True, being a "respectable" person, his platform neglects to mention the the halachic obligation to throw the Arabs out of the country. But his general platform is sound. My problem is that I disagree with his tactic of trying to rehabilitate the Likud Party. I don't see it working for him. I also think that it's dangerous.

I added a gadget at the bottom of my blog that posts reader's comments. Read some of them. It's like I've been saying. The same platitudes about Feiglin being the savior. The same talking points. I'm accused of "kvetching", "being irrelevant", and "sitting on the sidelines". For once, I'd like to hear a "Feiglinite" respond with a cogent defense of Manhigut Yehudit that addresses the following Likud transgressions:

• Sinai Give-Away: The Likud is a golden calf that isn't fit to be worshipped. Feiglin's premise is that the Likud can be saved. I contest this basic premise by stating that his image of the historical Likud is a myth. At the first opportunity they had to show the integrity of their ideology, the Likud party (under Menachem Begin, of all people) gave away the Sinai to the Egyptian animals.

• Likud & Intifada I: The Likud (along with Labor) failed to crush the first intifada.

• Likud Corruption: The Likud joined hands with Labor in 1988 to ban the Kach party. As Rabbi Kahane predicted, the rejection of Kach was a prelude to embracing Yasser Arafat, y'mach s'hmo v'zichro. Recently, the Likud allowed Bibi to strip Feiglin of a Knesset seat that he earned honestly. To my knowledge, there was no serious grassroots efforts from the "true Likudniks" within the party to fight this injustice. Social Rule #1: When they don't want you at the party, don't go to the party. The hell with them. Have your own party.

• Likud Treason: Likud was complicit in the Madrid Conference which led to Oslo. The Likud kept Oslo going when the treasonous "death treaty" was first signed. Bibi I promised to end it. Then he handed over Hebron to Arafat and his PLO vipers.

• Those who supported Feiglin, empowered the same Likud that expelled 1000 Jews from their homes in Gaza and handed it over to Hamas. What did we get? Kassam rockets. It won't be long before the entire middle and southern part of the country will be as vulnerable as S'derot. (While the North gets bombarded from Hezbollah/Lebanon.)

• Today the Likud continues this insanity under Bibi II, who as it turns out is even worse the second time around. While Bibi speaks of the creation of a Palestinian state and initiates an unprecedented freeze on building and development in the liberated areas, he still retains the support of his loyalists. I know they don't want to hear it, but Manhigut Yehudit has empowered Bibi to carry out his insane policies. All in the name of saving the Likud. The fact of the matter is that the core of the Likud is standing with Bibi as he drags the country to the edge of the cliff.

One reader, Shtuey, posted an excellent comment. One particular point sums up the problem in a nutshell. Shtuey noted the following:

"Bibi is preparing to give up the Golan, and divide Jerusalem. What is Feiglin going to do about this? He's talking about getting more people to join Likud. Is he not paying attention? No one is going to call for new elections. The Likud Central Committee is not going to change this freeze policy, nor is it going to elect a new leader of the party now. By the time there are new elections, the destruction of Israel will be fait accompli."

Here's one guy who gets it.

I present a challenge to any Manhigut Yehudit supporter who would like to explain to me why I am wrong. An intelligent discussion without the talking points and platitudes. I want to hear a logical defense of the movement, not bombastic assertions that Feiglin is going to be the next Prime Minister of Israel. Not references about his detractors (including myself) being "irrelevant."

Pretend that we're at a conference and you're trying to recruit new members. I presented my reservations to you about joining a party that I consider to be as dangerous as Meretz. The ball is now in your court. I'm waiting for a response.

On Feiglinites

I don't know about you, but whenever a supporter of Feiglin, a "Feiglinite" if you will, posts a comment on one of the many news websites, I get a distinct vision in my head that may or may not be accurate. A skinny, nebbish guy, with glasses sliding down his nose, pecking away at his computer in defense of Feiglin. He probably has a Manhigut Yehudit poster hanging on his wall alongside his Lord Of the Rings poster. An asthma inhalor on his bedside. Feiglin's book on his desktop. Manhigut Yehudit pins and pens and stickers. All of the talking points on the edge of his tongue. Probably has an affinity for Barry Chamish, and some elaborate theory about how "the illumanati" and "the Council of Foreign Relations" killed Rabin. Maybe it's not a fair image. Then again, I've met a few of them.

True believers banging on the drum for Feiglin. Usually their comments are limited to one or two lines. All caps, lots of exclamation points!

WHEN WILL PEOPLE WAKE UP AND REALIZE FEIGLIN IS THE ONLY ANSWER! MANHIGUT YEHUDIT NOW!

Or how about this one:

ALL OF THEM ARE LIARS! FEIGLIN IS THE ONLY WAY! HE WARNED US!

FEIGLIN IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE THE COUNTRY! HE FOUGHT OSLO, KATZ AND THE OTHERS ARE LIARS!

Is this what we have to look forward to?

LONG LIVE MOSHE FEIGLIN, KING MOSHIACH....

Ok, that last one is a little unfair. But you get the point. It's a cult. A dangerous cult, because it continuously strengthens the Likud Party which is the most dangerous party in the country. Who ordered the freeze? Who gave away the Sinai and Gaza? What about Hebron? The Likud doesn't deserve anyone's support. Netanyahu benefits and grows stronger from The Moshe Feiglin and Friends Show, whose sole mission is to rehabilitate a party that isn't going to change in their lifetime.

Feiglin's fantasy will never happen. The vast majority of Likudniks think he's an extremist. Hard to imagine, but it's true. Despite his parve personality and "respectable" efforts the stalwarts of Likud brand him a fanatic. He's wasting his time. The back door is padlocked.

Perhaps one day, Moshe Feiglin will wake up. Like when he learned that passive civil disobedience doesn't work in Israel, where the sadistic police, border guards, and even the army, will break your skull open if you try to act like Ghandi. You can't fix something that was always broken.

Shabbat Shalom.
