It's On!!! Feiglin vs. Bibi

It's on, folks!!! Wake up the neighbors and all of Israel. With Sylvain Shalom dropping out by wisely realizing that he would finish a poor third, this is now a race of the old and failed vs. the new and faithful. It's Bibi vs. Feiglin for the leadership of the Likud and the heart and soul of Eretz Yisrael.

This coming week, the Likud Central Committee will schedule the Likud primaries -- likely within the next two or three months. For Manhigut Yehudit, primaries are the golden opportunity to achieve the leadership position in the Likud and -- no less important -- to get our message of belief based leadership into every home in Israel. The intensive media coverage that the primaries afford is unparalleled in any other public relations campaign that we may initiate.

The State of Israel cannot continue to exist for much longer without belief based leadership. That is why losing is not an option. We must be sure that we are ready for the primaries. We need to enlist all of the healthy, belief based forces that the Jewish People can muster -- both volunteers and contributors. We must make sure that every person who has signed up for the Likud through Manhigut Yehudit actually does go to vote -- even if he is in the middle of his summer vacation on the Kinneret! We must go house to house and reach all the Likud members -- just like we did before the Disengagement referendum -- and explain that authentic Jewish leadership can save Israel. We need contributions to allow us to build an effective campaign. No less important, we have to honestly desire to lead Israel to its Jewish destiny. We must pray with all our hearts that this time, people who genuinely wish to perfect the world in the Kingdom of the Almighty will be given the chance to lead.

This is no ordinary electoral race. Israel's future -- the future of each and every Jew in the world -- is at stake. And each and every one of us can make a difference.

People often ask the following questions:

Q: But last time, Bibi threatened to have Moshe Feiglin expelled from the Likud and Moshe backed down!

A: Not true. Moshe Feiglin withstood tremendous pressure to quit the race. Netanyahu tried every trick in the book to have Moshe expelled from the Likud and even had a special Likud law passed in the hope that it would get him out of his way. It didn't work though, and Feiglin is running again. What did create some confusion in the public was Moshe's decision -- completely independent of Bibi's pressure tactics -- not to run for the Knesset. This time though, Manhigut Yehudit has decided that it will propose its own candidates for the Likud Knesset list.

Q: But the Likud doesn't want Manhigut Yehudit!

A: If you feel like an outsider, that is also how others will perceive you. In polls before the previous primaries, Limor Livnat received only 1% of the votes -- less than one tenth of the support that Moshe Feiglin had. Does that mean that she is not a Likudnik? The Likud is not just Bibi or Silvan. The Likud is comprised of all its members. Every person who pays his membership dues and fulfills the criteria in the Likud constitution is a full Likud member and has the right to run for any Likud position.

In the previous primaries, thousands of Likud members who did not sign up through Manhigut Yehudit voted for Moshe Feiglin. Our Jewish majority message is absolutely relevant to the average Likud member. We are confident that this time, after last summer's war and the deep despair engendered by the current leadership, many more Likudniks will vote for Moshe Feiglin.

Q: But if Moshe Feiglin wins, the Likud will lose the general elections!

A: The Likud is not a small, special interest party. The Likud is the microcosm of Israeli society. When the Likud will elect Moshe Feiglin, that means that Israeli society is ready for belief based leadership and will vote for the Likud with Moshe Feiglin at the helm.

Furthermore, when Moshe Feiglin will head the Likud, the small religious/nationalist parties will want to join him and create a large, right-wing national bloc. After all, who will vote for the NRP or the National Union when Moshe Feiglin heads the Likud? How many Likudniks will continue to vote for Shas? The united Jewish bloc will be called "Jewish Israel" and will create a true revolution in Israeli politics and society.

Q: Why doesn't Manhigut Yehudit just create its own party or join an already existing right-wing party?

A: Our goal is to lead the entire nation -- not just to play ball on our home court. The Likud is the definitive national party. The Nation of Israel is there, and that is where we must go. Those who opt for small, right-wing parties accept Netanyahu's leadership as a given. In other words, the small parties are in Bibi's pocket. He can use them and dispose of them as he pleases, with the comfortable knowledge that they may protest against him, but they will never join the Left.

Manhigut Yehudit is finished with the protests. We are in the real race: the race for leadership of Israel.
