           In the traditions of Rabbi Meir Kahane, z"l

               Jewish Power lies with our Faith in 
                     the G-d of Israel Alone

       The United Nations has repealed its resolution equating Zionism with Racism.  The
entire Jewish world is ecstatic, spewing forth such nonsense as "The UN has done Tshuva"!  
       The problem with Jews is their total lack of understanding of what is important and
what is nonsense.  Why is it that we look to the United Nations as giving legitimacy to the
Jewish State?  Had that body not recognized us in 1948 would we have been less real?  The
State of Israel was created and is sustained by the G-d of Israel.  Whether or not other nations
choose to recognize her will only affect their status in the soon to come redemption, certainly
not ours.
       Foolish Jewish celebrants of the repeal of what the UN really thinks, can you not
see that nothing has changed?  That very same body, with the participation of the United
States, has just condemned Israel for planning to expel 12 terrorists!  
       Where was this paragon of morality when thousands of Kurds were being
slaughtered by Saddam Hussein?  Mass murder by a mad dictator is a legitimate internal affair
of a sovereign country?  It is only little Israel, who makes feeble token efforts to avoid
condemnation, such as deporting a handful of terrorists to protect the lives of her citizens
rather than taking the real steps needed out of fear of this very reaction on the part of the
nations of the world, who gets rewarded for her restraint by getting the very condemnation she
sought to avoid!
       The only reason Bush pressured the nations to repeal the repulsive resolution was
to encourage his faulty "peace" process to continue and "prove" to the Israeli side that he
really isn't an anti-Semite.
       It is high time for the Jewish People and the leaders of the Jewish State to recognize
that accepting the deceit of our enemies will not only never result in peace, but will only
encourage our enemies to continue their efforts to destroy us.  The only way we can hope to
achieve real peace is to be prepared to make whatever sacrifices necessary to be honest and
faithful to our G-dly destiny.
       Let us immediately reject, out of hand, the legitimacy of any so called "palestinian"
entity.  Let that extend to the Jordanian one as well.  We will sit with any legitimate Arab state
to discuss peace, but never with an illegitimate one to negotiate our existence.  We have no
right to consider negating any part of the G-dly legacy promised to our Father, Abraham. 
How can peace result from our rejecting the Will of our G-d?  Do we fear Bush or Arafat
more than we do Him?
       Had we any self-respect, when that hideous resolution was first passed we would
have rejected the United Nations.  We would have stood up and told that body that we have
no intention of lending dignity to a world body which has proven itself to be a hater of Jews. 
We stand ready to meet with any legitimate Arab nation in Jerusalem for the purpose of
making peace, but no longer will we sit by and listen to the vicious diatribes of those who hate
us and seek our destruction.  We then would have walked out of that building never to return.
       I know, many of you cannot fathom how it is possible to turn our backs on the
United Nations.  They could sanction us, boycott us and even attack us with a world army. 
But if this is your thinking how can we ever truly be an independent nation?  Whatever our
enemies dictate we must accept because of all of these very real elements which threaten our
very existence.  But I hasten to remind you that the nations of the world do not give a fig
about our existence, even when we do attempt to appease them.  We, therefore, have no
rational reason to jeopardize our safety and security by trying to appease those who have no
interest in seeing us survive!
       I have heard many say that we have no choice but to coexist with our Arab enemies. 
This is an absurd statement.  Who took away our choices from us?  Even if you believe we
should live with our enemies, how dare you tell us that we have no other choices?  Every
sovereign nation has a whole gamut of choices from which to select how to best proceed with
its existence.  When, in the history of nations, has any sovereign nation summarily negated an,
even possibly immoral, option which might very well affect that nation's ability to survive,
merely out of fear of what others might think?
       It is an obscene suggestion that we unilaterally remove any option what so ever
when the very security of the state is in question.  We have no choice?  We must continue to
allow Arabs to murder our citizens and to have the right to try to overthrow our country from
within?  How stupid can we be?  We, as every rational sovereign nation, have a primary
obligation to protect our citizens and to maintain our sovereignty over our homeland.  We
cannot afford the luxury of removing any option which will enable us to achieve that basic
goal.  It is not a "higher" morality to slit your throat rather than to remove your enemies, it is a
far lower one.
       Enough Washington conferences!  If the legitimate Arab nations want to talk peace
let them come to Jerusalem.  If not let them know that any lands we acquire as a result of
future Arab aggressions will never be returned under any circumstances.  And, to prove it, let
us immediately nationalize all Jewish Lands currently under our control.  Let us expel all Arabs
from our country, thus saving Jewish lives, removing a major burden from our economy and
showing the entire world that we fear only the G-d of Israel.
