Moshe Feiglin Speaks at Likud Central Committee

On Monday night, 7 Tishrei (Oct. 6) Moshe Feiglin spoke at the Likud Central Committee meeting. The following are the main points of his speech, which drew a standing ovation. Best wishes to Central Committee Chairman Kachalon. It is commendable that he dedicated the first meeting in his role as chairman to ideological issues. The Economy and Education: What is the connection between the two? The connection is values. An economic system that is not based on values will ultimately collapse. The world constantly alternates between socialist and capitalist ideologies. Pure socialism is simply armed robbery in broad daylight. Absolute socialism will inevitably lead to poverty. Historically, it has also brought about the largest mass murder in history. Scorn for the individual's right to amass wealth ultimately leads to scorn for the individual's very life. Even when it is unpopular - the Likud does not have a socialist worldview. On the other hand, capitalism that is not refined and moderated is just another strain of Darwinism - doomed to eventually implode. Clearly, we are not interested in reaching that extreme. What does the Likud have to offer? We offer a free market that sanctifies individual rights to personal property, but that refines and moderates the individual's drive for wealth through our Jewish culture. In Switzerland, the Chief of the National Bank does not earn over 20% more than the tellers. That is not the law - it is Swiss culture that refines and moderates the capitalist system. On the one hand, the right to amass personal wealth. (Our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were all billionaires). But on the other hand, interest-free loans to the individual borrower, the annulment of debt in the Shmittah year and most importantly - a culture of community giving and mutual responsibility. And if we are already talking about mutual responsibility, I would like to add a few more words. In the upcoming year we can expect some significant political struggles. The media will attempt to portray Livni as a new, clean politician. Whoever expects the Likud to sweep to victory without a concerted effort is in for a surprise. The Likud is connected to the most healthy, intense and ideological forces in the National Camp. It would be a grave error for us to look for support from other places. Remember what Weizman and Dayan did to Begin. Do you remember the slogan, "Bibi is good for the Jews"? If we want to lead Israel, we must do what is good for the Jews. The Left is completely unreliable. If we join up with all the truly nationalist forces - if we do what is good for the Jews - we will triumph and save Israel.
