                    Justice, American Style

       Nossair is innocent?  Really?  After all, he only shot people who got in his way as
he tried to escape.  Escape?  Escape from what?
       If you are surprised or shocked at this incredible outcome, don't be.  Rabbi Meir
Kahane, z"l, H"yd, was a true tzaddik.  No mortal could take his life if it wasn't the Will of G-d.  He was taken from us as a punishment to us.  We are now being further punished by not
being permitted to see his murder go avenged.  
       Can anyone doubt that this outrageous acquittal is extra natural?  The cold-blooded
murder of a popular Jewish leader is witnessed by tens of concerned Jews and the jury cannot
convict the murderer whom witnesses swore they saw commit the act?  
       What more proof do Jews living in America need to recognize that democracy will
not save them from the horrors that are about to befall them?  If such a great man,  with as
much influence and popularity as Rabbi Kahane had, can be murdered with impunity, even
when his murderer was caught and identified, how can any Jew feel safe?
       Cry, scream, write letters to your Congressman.  What good will it do you?  What
more do you need to understand that our welcome in the USA has worn thin and soon will run
out altogether?
If you really and truly want to honor the memory of our beloved rabbi there is only one thing
for you to do.  Immediately make plans to come home.  At least let his death serve the
purpose of his last effort, which he died pursuing; to wake you out of your lethargy.  There is
no hope or purpose to try and keep America as the safe and comfortable exile it has been and
that you would like it to continue to be. 
       The exile is clearly coming to an end.  We have a haven to turn to today, and what
is more, that haven is our homeland which G-d promised to our Father Abraham.  None of this
is natural!  It flies in the face of logic.  But it is true!  The longer you wait for more proof the
more you endanger yourselves and your families.
       As Rabbi Kahane wrote: 
       "Will we have the wisdom to understand, the eyes to see, the desire to wish to see? 
Will we understand that only the embracing of total faith and trust in the Almighty will bring
the redemption..?  Will we manifest and prove our faith in the only possible way-- actions,
terribly difficult, sometimes terribly dangerous?  Actions that stand up to the gentile without
the slightest fear for his irrelevance; actions that hold on to the Land of Israel; that drive out
the Arab; that cleanse the Temple Mount; that leave the impurity and curse of the Exile and
return home."
       Rabbi Kahane's murder will be avenged.  The only question that remains for us to
answer is, "Will we sanctify his memory by at long last listening to his very accurate
warnings?"  
       American Jews, open your eyes and see that your very lives are in imminent danger
in the galut!  If you loved Rabbi Kahane even a fraction as much as he loved you, then prove it
by action.  Start packing and come home to your only homeland.
