           In the traditions of Rabbi Meir Kahane, z"l

               To Be a Free People in our own Land

       Four Arabs were convicted in an Israeli court in Nazareth of the brutal sadistic murder,
with knives, axes, and pitchforks, of three Jewish soldiers, two of whom were raw recruits, in an
IDF training camp a few months ago.  
       These enemies of the Jewish State did not infiltrate from Lebanon, Syria or Jordan. 
They did not live in Hebron or Shechem.  They all speak fluent Hebrew, receive monthly Israeli
National Insurance welfare support for their children, and vote in Israeli elections.  They are our
Arabs.  True blue equal citizens of the democratic Jewish State.  To be sure they do not salute the
Jewish flag nor do they sing Hatikvah with feeling, but they are genuine Israelis.
       The judge was outraged by the cold blooded brutality of the crime to which the
defendants admitted guilt and sentenced each of them to three consecutive life sentences.  It was
announced that the four will spend the rest of their lives in prison.
       Yet I remember other such savages, such as those who stabbed yeshiva student Aaron
Gross to death, and those who massacred the visitors to Beit Hadassah in Hebron all of whom, and
hundreds of others guilty of similar crimes, were caught, tried, convicted and, in some cases given
multiple life sentences.  Where are these guilty murderers today?  They were turned loose, mostly
here in Israel, as a result of the "prisoner" exchange, where three Israeli soldiers captured in
Lebanon were returned unharmed in exchange for the release of 1,050 convicted Arab terrorists. 
The ring leader in the murder of Aaron Gross is known to conduct guided tours of Hebron as he
gleefully recounts how he plunged his knife repeatedly into the back of the Jewish youth.
       Given our shameful track record I seriously doubt that these two legged animals will be
caged for long.  It was reported here that, as a result of the investigation which uncovered these
murderers, all from villages in the Wadi Ara region of Israel, large numbers of Arabs were arrested
for questioning.  It seems that a wide range of terrorist cells have been discovered to have
organized plans for attacking Israeli soldiers and to have given aid to terrorists living in Judea and
Samaria.  The army is very concerned at having but uncovered the tip of the iceberg.
       The concept of a loyal Israeli Arab is a conflict in terminology.  There is no such thing. 
If there was he would be an Arab traitor, and, as such how could he be termed "loyal"?  
       Rabbi Meir Kahane, z"tl, H"yd, bore the label "racist" for trying desperately to warn of
this very phenomenon which today frightens the IDF.  Yitzchak Shamir might have very good
intentions and be an excellent politician, but he is playing with fire when he suggests the ludicrous
concept of offering Arabs in Israel limited autonomy.  Never in the history of nations has there
been such a concept.  
       Israel is the Jewish State.  It was created for the purpose of being the homeland of the
Jewish People.  There is no normal Arab that can find comfort in living in such a state.  The Arabs
of Israel have national pride and will accept nothing less than their own state in place of the Jewish
one.  It is not "racism" rather self preservation which leads any rational thinker to the only solution
to maintain our sovereignty and our lives.  The Arabs of Israel must be removed.  If we refuse to
face reality and solve this very real problem in the humane way today, tomorrow we will be forced
to fight to the death to accomplish the same thing.
