Moshe Feiglin Responds to Netanyahu's Speech

June 14, 2009...

Just a few years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu made his vote in favor of the Disengagement from Gush Katif conditional on 14 reservations. Ariel Sharon used Netanyahu's votes of support to implement his Expulsion of 10,000 Jews from Gaza and northern Samaria while forgetting about Bibi's reservations.

In his speech at Bar Ilan University this evening, Netanyahu assented in principle to a Palestinian state in our biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria (and in other parts of the Land of Israel) - with conditions. The door to continued American pressure has been opened wide, the price of the time to be bought will be dear in Jewish blood, and we can expect that in due time all of Netanyahu's reservations will once again evaporate or be rendered moot.

The Likud must quickly elect a new chairman who is loyal to its constitution, the decisions of its institutions, to its electorate, and to the principles of the national camp.

The Likud Constitution states:

Chapter 2: Objectives

Preserving the right of the Jewish Nation to the Land of Israel as an eternal, inalienable right, perseverance in the settlement and development of all parts of the Land of Israel and implementation of the State's sovereignty on them.
