The "Security Fence"

Yes, the "Security Fence" is bad.

Here’s why: It will alienate Jews from their identity.

The primary reason for the existence of the Zionist movement was the reconstitution of the Jewish state. The most vital ingredient in that mission was the revival of Jewish attachment to the Jewish Land on the Land.

However, every generation since the re-establishment of the state has been dwindling ideologically, due to years of leadership without purpose.

The greatest evidence of this weakening is the general acceptance of the myth "Arab" rights to parts of the Jewish Homeland by Israeli's--the greatest dupe of all times.

In light of the weakening of the Jews, there can be little doubt that future generations of the Jewish people will see the fence as the rightful border of the State of Palestine. Thus, the fence will create the impression that Jews should not live beyond its position; alienating Jews from their crucial Birthright.

Eventually, the fence itself it will be viewed as cruel barrier between Israel and peaceful “Palestinians”. More, it will be called barrier to normalized relations between both states west of the Jordan River and, thus, a barrier to peace itself.

Finally, the myth a “Palestinian nation” will be formalized within the minds of our future generations, which will undermine the Jewish Birthright. This will result in a diminished concept of Jewish identity for Jews everywhere.

That’s enough to make it a bad thing.

Tali Fahima and Leftist Terror

It should come as no surprise that a leftist Jew has been arrested for collaboration with Arab terrorists, in Israel.

If you know your Zionist history, particularly since the Balfour declaration, then you know that these 2 phenomena were to be expected. Maybe not specifically, but in general, there was predictability.

However, the Fatima...I mean... Fahima case (and those that will follow it) stand insignificant held against previous, and better-known terror collaboration projects.

Here, I refer to the Oslo Peace Process and its well-known architects, who gave Arab terrorists Land, weapons, money and enhanced legitimacy. This amounted to the facilitation of the strategic/tactical goals of a terrorist organization, and usually gets a states name added to a list of rogue states that sponsor terror.

But, accounting for the fact that the people of Israel chose leaders who sponsored terrorism against their own country, there can be little surprise at the activities of little Fatima...I mean...Fahima. She is the result of a series of self-effacing policies and attitudes imposed by Israeli leadership on Israel, not the first of which was Oslo. The leftitst 'refusenik' soldiers should be looked at in the same light.

From this view, the depth and perfidy of Oslo are expanded. For not only has it succeeded in imposing greater terror upon the people of Israel than ever before, it has also created 'activists' for its cause on 2 levels. On the first, are the soldiers who refuse to serve in Yesha and combat the enemy, and on the other you have Israeli civilians aiding the terrorists whom the soldiers refuse to combat. Brilliant! So, unlike others would have you believe, Oslo is alive and well.

But the leaders of Israel are not the only culprits. They are not solely responsible for the potential doom of Israel. In the name of accountability, I must mention that since the people of Israel chose the Oslo architects to lead the country, they too are accountable for every Jewish life taken in the Oslo War. Which, should humiliate the Soul of every Jew alive.

Tisha B'av and Jewish Nationalism

We are well on into the 9 days preceding Tisha B'av, the fast in remembrance of the 2 destroyed Temples of Israel and numerous other national tragedies.

This is a day for specific national and personal reflection. A time when we must consider the destiny of the Jewish people and the movements we are making towards that destiny, both personally and nationally.

It is a time of proactive Judaism, where we consider our liabilities and turn them into successes. These considerations are integral to the purpose of Tisha B'av, for, through this process, a proactive Jewish national identity can be developed.

Proactive Nationalism

A proactive nationalist recognizes the meaning of self-respect and the depth of Jewish accountability. The nationalist recognizes that the only way to change the state of Judaism is to accept responsibility for it.

For, only by shouldering the responsibility for our people's liabilities can we effect a national change. That every Jew would accept personal responsibility for the shortcomings of world Jewry, past and present, is the goal of the Jewish nationalist.

The proactive nationalist sees any Jewish problem as his/her own and changes it for the better!

The proactive nationalist is an asset to the Jewish people; a worthy example to be duplicated.

On a day of national Jewish remembrance, like Tisha B'av, a nationalist remembers the greatness of the Hebraic Torah Civilization, its tremendous value to the world and its contributions to mankind. The nationalist is inspired by this history and seeks to duplicate its successes. The Nationlist contemplates that civilizations demise, but only in order to prevent such events from occurring again. The nationalist also contemplates the goy in terms of that civilization, of what the goy owes him and of what he never owes the goy--his/her self-respect.

It is a day of righteous indignation, for the dignity of our people. The fast of Tisha B'av is therefore of an intense national value; it is a day that is good for the Jews. The nationalist enjoys Tisha B'av.

Reactive Identity

The owner of a reactive Jewish identity does not recognize the value of self-respect or the depth of Jewish accountability. Such a person has a Religionist view of Judaism and sees Tisha B'av as a day of ritual remembrance for the sins of the Jewish people.

This type does not shoulder responsibility for the liabilities of world Jewry. The reactive Jew either seeks ritual or runs from it, both in place of activating true Hebraic Torah Civilization. The reactive Jew's entire perspective is subject to the whims and weaknesses of various alien influences. This Jew does not believe in the destiny of the Jewish people. The reactive Jew is a burden unto the Jewish people, for whom the proactive Jewish nationalist must take responsibility.

For the reactive, Tisha B'av, is a day of mourning and self- flagellation. It is yet another day where we inactively regret our sins and claim repentance. On this day the reactive does not actually consider that the absence of Hebraic Torah Civilization decreases the quality of Jewish existence. The reactive learns fear from Tisha B'av; fear of the goy and his wrath.

The self-respect of the reactive Jew is dependant upon the preferences and weakness of the goy, not upon true Jewish identity. The reactive Jew actually reaffirms his/her reactive perspective on this day, leading to Jewish complacency. Ultimately, Tisha B'av becomes a meaningless day upon which nothing changes and nothing is learned.

We cannot afford any more wasted Tisha B'av's. Do not be a reactive Jew. Take responsibility for yourself and your people. Use Tisha B'av to develop proactive Jewish nationalism. Internalize Jewish Pride, Accountability and Proactivity.

Have a meaningful fast.

Ha'Sharsheret

Yesterday, I participated in the human chain that linked Gush Katif, in Aza, to Jerusalem.

It was nice.

Nearly 200,000 Jews gathered on the roadways unanimously denouncing the prime ministers decision to give Jewish Land to Arab terrorists. People prayed, cheered and joined hands for the singing of Hatikvah. Like I said it was a nice.

Unfortunately, for many, that is all it will amount to—a nice experience. Many surely left the conviction they brought with them by the roadside.

Next time a similar event takes place, observe the attitudes of the good people in attendance. Hear them describe the foolishness of withdrawal, how the Knesset betrays the Jewish Birthright, and most of all hear their frustration. After its over listen to the promoters of the activity discuss its success. Then pay careful attention to the way those same people vote in the next election. Watch them vote for the very same parties that caused them to link hands across Israel and protest against the prime minister—who they voted into power.

It is a fact that the people of Yesh--Yehuda, Shomron and Aza--came out strong for the Likud party in the last election. The people of Yesha gave strong support to the very party that would later decide to give 8,000 of their homes away, while placing the remainder of them in a wire and concrete playpen with Jew hating Jihadian's.

Shame on Yesha.

The people of Yesha must take responsibility for this poor decision so that similar failures can be prevented in the future. They can do this by examining how the pre-incident indicators—particularity, the attitudes and statements—conveyed by Ariel Sharon throughout last year's election illustrated the general predictability of his current policies.

Many people would argue with this criticism. Many would give excuses disguised as reasons for the pathetic voting habits of the Jewish people in the state of Israel. But, those simply remain sad justifications for irresponsible decision-making.

So remember, demonstrations, human chains and marches are very nice and good. But, they are not ends in themselves and they don't solve our countries problems.

What does solve problems is having the kind of integrity that fosters solid Jewish decision-making. What will solve many of our problems is changing the way we vote and the considerations we make when choosing a leader. These ideals will also enhance the utility and meaning of public demonstration.
