WHY ISRAEL MOVED RIGHT


When the first Israeli Parliament met shortly after World War II, "the Right" was still identified with Hitler and Mussolini. This led to an immediate practical problem. No one in the new Israeli Parliament would sit on the political right.

Today the Likkud Party rules Israel and it is a party of the right. If you think about it a minute, you will understand why that is the case, and why it is important to see the reason for this.

Meanwhile, Jews in New York are still solidly leftist, as are Jews everywhere else. So what's so special about Jews in Israel?

Jews in Israel are the first Jews in over two thousands years who are the ruling majority. All that time, Jewish politics has been based on hate. Jews have been hated and, contrary to the Politically Correct orthodoxy, they have hated in return.

But in Israel, Jews must not just hate, they must govern. They cannot afford to dedicate themselves to hating the ruling majority in Israel because they ARE the ruling majority in Israel.

What Israelis do in New York is aimed at punishing the white gentile majority. They go for integration and busing, they take the side of criminals in solidarity against the law-abiding majority. They demand open borders so that they can be on the side of outsiders against the ruling white gentile majority.

Every political stance backed by the Jewish voting bloc outside Israel is aimed at hurting the ruling majority in that country. The last thing that bloc votes for is something that WORKS.

That's the way Israel started, too. But they discovered that leftism is national suicide.

National suicide may be fine for everybody else, but not for the Jewish homeland.

 

A POINT RESPECTABLE CONSERVATIVES CANNOT UNDERSTAND: OUT IS NOT IN


The Likkud Party just voted that it will never ever accept a separate sovereign Palestinian state under any conditions whatsoever. It did that despite the vehement opposition of its own ruling Prime Minister Sharon, who is not exactly a noted moderate himself.

Netanyahu is likely to be the next Prime Minister of Israel, and he is attacking the rightist Sharon from Sharon's RIGHT. Netanyahu proposes to build a wall to keep Palestinians OUT of Israel.

First let me explain that that word OUT is in caps for a very good reason. A wall to keep people OUT is a right-wing solution. Walls to keep people IN are a leftist solution. Libertarians and respectable conservatives are too dumb to know the difference, so let me explain it again very briefly.

Our kind of rightist policy WORKS. It produces a place that everybody wants to GET INTO, like the United States. Leftist countries are run on policies that never WORK, so everybody wants OUT.

Communist countries always have walls to kill people for trying to get OUT. The United States has a Border Patrol and walls on its southern border to keep Mexicans from getting IN. Libertarians state loudly that there is no difference keeping people OUT and keeping people IN.

Prison walls keep prisoners IN and non-felons OUT. Guards keep the cons INSIDE, but they will also keep you from going IN. Nonetheless, there is a difference between being IN prison and OUT OF prison.

Please note I have to belabor this difference, which no child would have any trouble with, because libertarians STILL cannot understand it.

 

 
SEGREGATION TODAY, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER!
 


Now to the awful truth: what Netanyahu is proposing is a permanent state of segregation between Jews and Arabs.

Us old segregationists used to wear a white button with five letters on it written in blue: NEVER. Everything we said would happen with integration is exactly what happened with integration. I leave it to all the other self-styled Southern Spokemen to beg forgiveness for having opposed integration and saying it wasn't a wonderful idea.

It was NEVER a good idea, so there is no reason for me to join the Southern Crawl (THE SOUTHERN CRAWL DOESN'T WORK--September 23, 2000).

So when the Likkud Party said "Never!," it touched a chord.

On the other hand, I have made it very, very clear that I have strong and lifelong Arab sympathies (September 13, 2001 - MY ARAB SYMPATHIES).

I can understand militant Arabs and I can understand militant Israelis. It is the Generally Accepted Position (GAP) which all the respectable people accept that is utterly ridiculous.

 

 
WHY THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED POSITION (GAP) ON ISRAEL IS INSANE
 


In some cases, moderation is insane. One of these cases is Israel.

You see, the GAP on Israel says that the Arabs are the only religious fanatics. The rest of us are moderates.

But you cannot say that God Almighty has taken a homeland away from one religious group and God Almighty has given that homeland to another religious group unless you are a religious fanatic. But if neither religious group involved is YOUR religious group, you are not only a religious nutcase; you are a UNIQUE religious nutcase in a world history that is crammed full of religious fanatics.

To support Israel, self-styled "Christians" have to insist that God Almighty took their homeland away from Moslems because of their religion and God Almighty gave that country to Jews. That is not only religious fanaticism, but it is a fanaticism so extreme that it is unique in history.

And these so-called "Christians" insist that theirs is a MODERATE position!

The GAP says that religious fanaticism is moderation. You can say that ten thousand times - and they have said it ten thousand times - but it is still absurd.

 

ON ISRAEL, ONLY THE "FANATICS" CAN MAKE SENSE


So the Likkud says they are not going to go halvies with the Palestinians. God gave it all to them and they took the whole thing and they're going to keep the whole thing. That kind of thinking I can understand and respect. Do I agree with them? Frankly, my dear, the Likkud doesn't give a damn.
