A Brief Analysis of Israel's Elections

By Moshe Feiglin

Israel is now entering a complex twilight zone. On the one hand, it is quite clear to all that the war that Netanyahu waged against me caused the Likud to lose mandates. On the other hand, nobody but us dares to admit that the Likud suffered a defeat - and to implement the measures that need to be taken as a result. Everybody is dusting off their government suits and comforting themselves with the victory of the right wing bloc.

Within a short time, lack of stability and inability to implement policy will lead to new elections for the head of Likud. We must prepare ourselves for the battle for leadership of the Likud and of the State of Israel. The past two months have proven to all the Likud members that a faith-based candidate does not repel voters. On the contrary - the Likud cannot win without him!

The battle for leadership of the Likud and of our country begins today from a position totally different from our position two months ago. There is no doubt that forces larger and stronger than us will unite to defeat us. But reality will point time and again to the faith-based alternative. Reality will prove that only a faith-based leader can lead the Likud and the entire national camp to a decisive victory and save Israel from the paralysis and self-destruction that G-dless leadership has wrought upon it.

The following graph clearly shows the patterns that led to the Likud's slow but steady decline over the election campaign.

Conclusions:
A. There is complete symmetry between the decline of the Likud and the rise of Lieberman's party, and later of the National Union.

B. The Likud's decline begins when it loses its rightist/nationalist hue as a result of Netanyahu's battle against Feiglin.

C. From the beginning of December and until the elections, Lieberman and the National Union gained 11 mandates at the Likud's expense. The Likud could have won at least 38 mandates in these elections.

The Game of Political Fig Leaf


By Professor Eugene Narrett


Several weeks ago Moshe Feiglin refused to appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court his demotion, from the 20th to 36th slot on the Likud list. It was “undemocratic” and illegal and, the Court kindly hinted through sources would be overturned on appeal. Mr. Feiglin simply had to turn to the self-elected Court for redress. He refused.


The Court, he has explained in scarcely veiled references, is the “Dictator” that controls events in Israel on behalf of various foreign powers. He’s right; the cosmopolitan, anti-Jewish Court is chief among the subcontractors that is dissolving Israel into a Middle East federation that Jews will support while Judaism is buried and, they hope, forgotten.


This tactic of non-recognition of a treacherous, tyrannical and anti-Jewish institution also has been chosen since the expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif by several discerning and brave young people. There is nothing a dictatorship fears more than that people cease to lend it credence; that they cast off the dependent stance and go their own way to freedom.


Mr. Feiglin and everyone who wants Israel to be redeemed from the bondage in which it is wrapped; a slavery tarted up with “elections,” a game rigged against Jews and Jewish sovereignty, a vicious game in which Jews have no rights to property and prayer on their heartland and holiest have not gone far enough in not turning to the Court re the oligarchy and its “party-list” games; they need to refrain and reject this charade of politics which like democracy inevitably has revealed its non-Jewish basis. Goodness: democracy is rotten all over the world; it is a fig leaf for increasingly overbearing and impoverishing rule by an ever-more concentrated and deracinated oligarchy.


It’s late now but hear and learn: no more voting; no more participating in the charade that Israel is a Jewish State, the proudest claim of “Karavilla Yehudi.” In 1944 the war for independence gained traction when the true fighters for Jewish sovereignty and Malkhut Yisrael refused to acknowledge British courts. The same method now needs to be turned against the corrupt, farcical and suicidal self-styled “democratic” system in which party bosses owned by shadowy players in the great world select those who will deceive, from various angles, the Jewish people.



It would be great if Moshe andKetzaleh won 50 seats and with Rav Eliahu and others led the State and even greater Jews would arise. We will get to that place sooner when the "democratic" scam is discarded.


No more voting for this “democratic” farce: Labor and Meretz will win 110 seats; the Arabs will win ten and everyone in Israel will see what the system is and more and more of us are seeing the self-perpetuating, anti-Jewish enforcers of the Court for what they are. When the Jewish people refuse to march into their chains in the polling stations, when they refuse to wear the “mind-forged manacles” their puppet-masters have made for them and drummed into their speech and thoughts; when instead they march outside the polling stations with signs decrying the fraud and the destruction of Jewish freedom and sovereignty, the nakedness of the regime will be exposed and it will have to flee or turn to its foreign ‘lovers,’ exposing its shame still further. The people will see with the clarity of a prophetic parable and will rise against the oppressive subcontractors that have been and are destroying the dream.

Who's Afraid Of Moshe Feiglin?


By Moshe Feiglin


Even from the beginning of the primaries, observers on both Right and Left understood that my candidacy was much more than just another political campaign. My primaries race touched on the exposed roots of the crisis in Israel. It offered new leadership, new thinking and a truly Jewish solution to the dead end threat of cessation looming over our country. The elites that have brought Israel to its present crisis situation and continue to be sustained by the rotten system that they have established quickly identified the alternative being created within the Likud and rose in infuriated self defense. It was a world war between the Jewish State waiting in the wings and the state void of significance and hope that has been forced upon the Jewish majority in Israel.

The media fixation on my candidacy brought the faith-based leadership alternative into every home in Israel. On major Hebrew news sites such as ynet and walla, interviews with me generated many hundreds of talkbacks - most of them positive. The entire campaign progressed with the feeling that we were making a tremendous breakthrough in voter mentality. The fact that I was elected to the Likud list despite all of the mudslinging against me was a major leap forward. It was a cue for the entire faith based public to connect to Israel's leadership arena in the Likud. After my election to 20th place - not only did the Likud not lose 6 mandates in the polls as Netanyahu had threatened - it gained 6 mandates and was holding at 40 potential Knesset seats.

Beside the very important achievement in advancing the cause of Jewish leadership for Israel, we had an additional success. Our list of recommended candidates had significant influence on the entire Likud roster. The first five candidates on the roster are all MKs who had 'rebelled' against Sharon's expulsion plan. In most districts, the ideological candidates who we endorsed were elected. Slots number thirty and up include many people who received our support: Boaz Haetzni, Sagiv Asulin, Ehud Yatom and Michael Ratzon.

On the night of the Likud primaries election, Israeli politics was revolutionized: The faith based public began to seriously connect to the Likud, strengthening the national ideological elements within the party. This landmark change began to immediately and decisively transform Israel's Oslo agenda. It is this change that frightens Netanyahu more than anything else. He pulled all the necessary strings to nip the process in the bud, lowering me down to the 36th slot. But the entire Likud fell with me and is paying the price of Netanyahu's refusal to face reality. Instead of opening a large lead against Kadimah, potential Likud votes are scattering to Lieberman, National Union, Jewish Home and even back to Kadimah. Who knows? Tzippy Livni may become the next prime minister, after all.

I do not know what the results of the elections will be for me, personally. But it is clear that no great change will take place on the broad political scene. Sooner than we think, there will be primaries for the head of the national camp's ruling party - the Likud. As long as G-d gives me the strength, I will be running. With G-d's help we will triumph, unite the entire loyal camp and lead the huge Jewish majority in Israel to true leadership of the State of Israel - in the path of G-d.

The Missles Return


It wasn't pleasant for us to write our analysis of the last war in Gaza. But just as in the Lebanon war of two and a half years ago, our predictions came true even sooner than we expected.

The awesome self-sacrifice of our sons, the IDF's professionalism, all the important achievements of this war - have quickly turned into searing failure. Those who fled Gaza and expelled the Jewish settlers from there are incapable of winning any war.

Gaza has become the acid test of our connection to the Land of Israel. In today's political environment, whoever says that Gaza is part of the Land of Israel that must be conquered and settled finds himself far outside the public discourse. We fled Gaza, but Gaza chases us - reminding us that if we do not redeem it, we will not be able to live here. Not in Sderot and not in Tel Aviv. Those who go to war in Gaza without defining the goal of the war; to re-conquer Gaza, rebuild 100 Gush Katifs and apply the evacuation-compensation law to all its current residents - cannot win.

Only authentic, faith-based Jewish leadership can lead us to victory in Gaza and on all other fronts, as well.

Cat Out Of The Bag

"I have a feeling that he (Bibi) wants to be prime minister, but without the extremists in slots 30 and up. He prefers the MKs from Kadimah or the Labor party."
(Ma'ariv quotes a Likud ministerial candidate Tues. 9 Shvat/Feb. 3)

The cat is out of the bag. What we knew all along but did not dare say is now in the headlines. Bibi prefers that the votes go left, right or anywhere but to Feiglin. If someone has not yet decided for whom to vote, Netanyahu has provided an unequivocal answer. The people who he fears most are not in the National Union, the Jewish Home or in Lieberman's party. The people that he fears most are the "extremists from slots 30 and up" in the Likud. They will be positioned in the right place to upset his plans. These are the people who can really keep Bibi from doing damage. Just one more good reason to vote Likud.
