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:

Jackals on the Mount

The arrest of the Director of Temple Institute this past Sunday, as he prepared to ascend Har Habayit (the Temple Mount) is not surprising. The Left considers any attempt to assert Jewish sovereignty on the Mount to be incitement. We can thank the late Moshe Dayan (an arrogant man who was missing much more than an eyeball) for setting that sick precedent, and for ensuring that the Temple Mount was only temporarily in our hands. The Almighty giveth, and Moshe Dayan giveth it away.

There is no greater chillul Hashem than the abominations of the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa mosque that sit on Har Habayit, the very place where the Almighty tested Abraham, and where the first and second Jewish Temples stood. Today the Temple Mount is not in our hands, and it is delusional to think otherwise. The Nazis of the Jordanian Wakf are in control, and the sanctity of the area is stained by this insanity. On Har Habayit, Islam spits at the Almighty and the Law of Moses. On Har Habayit, Jews are forbidden to pray, while Ishmael's guttural caterwauls resonate throughout the Old City. Islam's control of Temple Mount emboldens and convinces them that soon all of Israel will be Judenrein.

There are no Jews, shuls, or JCC's in Saudi Arabia. If they found a Jew in Saudi Arabia today, he would be a head shorter before you could bat an eyelid. The idea of a synagogue in Mecca is absurd, let alone the fantastical notion of a Mecca controlled by Jews. And so the reverse scenario should be equally absurd, and Jews should understand this. Let the abominations on top of Har Habayit be relocated to Mecca, where there are no Jews or shuls, and where the common man believes that you and I drink the blood of Muslim children.

Until the Jews of Israel insist that the insanities that make up day-to-day life in Israel come to an end, Israel will continue with its suicide solution. If one wants to understand why Israel is killing itself through appeasement and territorial concession, why the idea of transferring the hostile Arabs is anathema, and why rockets are allowed to rain down on the heads of the Jews of S'derot, look at the Temple Mount. The abominations on the Temple Mount explain it all, the fear and appeasement of the enemy, and the apathy and antipathy to all things Jewish. Many things in the old city in Jerusalem upset me. The beggars hawking chamsas and red strings, the "na na nuts", the idolization of the kotel (Western wall) in general. Nothing upsets me as much as Amalek's architecture on the Temple Mount.

One final thing. The Rambam prayed on top of Har Habayit. In recent times, the esteemed Halachic decisor, Reb Moshe Tendler, shlitah (the son-in-law of Reb Moshe, zt"l) ascended Har Habayit. I would advise those in the "frum" camp who are happy that Har Habayit is controlled by Arabs (because in their ignorance they believe it is forbidden to visit the permissible areas) to learn the sugyah (topic) properly before commenting. The issue of Har Habayit is one of Kiddush Hashem versus chillul Hashem. Right now the chillul is winning.
