The translation of the short speech of MK Meir Kahane in 1984:
"How many Arabs will sit in the Knesset in ten years? After all, we are a democracy. All of us, Jews and Arabs, have the same rights. How many Arabs will sit in the Knesset?
Today I have the right to sit together with Tawfik Toubi and Tawfik Ziad. How many Tawfiks will there be in ten years? And in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee: How many Arabs will sit and hear a secret report from the Chief of Staff? Maybe the Chief of Staff will be an Arab, why not? Democracy!
There is an absolute contradiction between Western democracy and Zionism. I am for democracy for every Jew, but not for Arabs. The only solution is population exchange. We already transferred 800,000 Jews from Arab lands to Zion. Now we have reached stage 2 – Arabs to Arabia. I declare this is moral, necessary, Zionist, halakhic and logical. I do not hate the Arabs.
I love the Jewish people. They have 22 states, we have one, and it is ours alone. Arabs to Arabia, Jews to Zion, and peace to the Middle East."
Today is the 36 Memorial Day of R' Meir Kahane and what he said seems like a prophecy that is coming true.
Today marks the 36th yahrtzeit of Rav Meir Kahane, Hashem yikom damo. A Yid who said things that so many people were simply not ready to hear.
And here we are, 36 years later.
Everyone is busy trying to figure out who won the elections, who lost, who's going to join whom, and what the next coalition will look like.
But do we realize what's happening beneath all of this? Are we really seeing what's unfolding before our eyes?
There are truths that are terribly uncomfortable to face. But maybe that's exactly why we need to face them.
Be'ezrat Hashem.
Are you prepared to have your mind blown?
I’m not joking. Sit down for this and get your blood pressure meds ready.
Osama Saadi, who is part of the Joint list that is estimated to have between 10 and 15 seats in the upcoming Knesset is not just disloyal to the state of Israel.
Ready for this?
We, the Fuld family are suing the Palestinian authority for paying a salary to the family of the terrorist who murdered my brother.
We are in the middle of the lawsuit.
You sitting down?
Guess the name of the lawyer who is representing the PA in the lawsuit?
If you guessed Osama Saadi, you’d be right.
Let me say that again slowly.
Osama Saadi, a lawyer that represents the Palestinian authority and who defends their right to the pay to slay program, aka the PA paying terrorists to kill Jews, is a member of a party that now has 10-15 seats in the Israeli parliament.
But sure, get angry at me when I write a post that these people and any Arabs not loyal to Israel should not even be given citizenship, let alone be allowed in the Knesset.
This man supports Palestinian terror and he does it formally and officially and he will have influence over the future of the Jewish state.
I don’t have any words.
The whole world is a very narrow bridge, and the main thing is not to make ourselves afraid. —Rebbe Nachman
The bridge isn't what stops us. The fear we add on top is.

Every teacher has their own style. But there are certain ideas that are fundamental to what it means to be a mechanech.
This morning, I shared one such idea. It’s a Torah on Parshas Bereishis that I wish every mechanech would spend some time with.
Reb Efraim of Pshedborz, one of the great Breslover Chassidim, asks how Adam HaRishon failed to inspire Chava to keep Hashem’s commandment.
Adam heard it directly from Hashem. Why wasn’t he able to communicate it effectively?
Reb Efraim teaches that Adam heard the commandment, but never davened over it. So when he relayed it to Chava, it came across as a cold proclamation.
Hashem said this. Don’t do that.
The words were there. But they hadn’t become alive inside him.
Hashem placed Adam in Gan Eden לעבדה ולשמרה. Reb Efraim teaches that לעבדה is עבודה שבלב, tefillah.
Before we can give over Torah, we have to daven over what we’ve learned. To beg Hashem to let us understand it, taste it, and live it.
Knowing what Hashem wants from us is not the same as feeling connected to it. And if that connection hasn’t happened inside us, how can we expect to give it over to someone else?
You can know an entire sugya beautifully and leave someone cold as ice. I’ve unfortunately seen what happens when mechanchim teach this way.
And sometimes a Yid who barely knows one word of Torah can say that word in a way that changes someone else’s life.
Why? Because he davened over that word. It became alive inside him. And that made it come alive for the people he gave it over to.
We desperately need mechanchim who have both.
Torah that they’ve learned deeply, and Torah that they’ve davened over.
Because if a child only knows what he’s supposed to do, but feels no love for what he’s been taught, we have to ask ourselves what we’ve actually given him.
May Hashem help us raise a generation of students who not only know what the Torah asks of them, but love what it asks of them.
And may we be worthy of giving that over.
Have a beautiful Shabbos.
LOOK AT THIS POST FROM THIS POS.
Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful.
You are a filthy, vile person who should never be anywhere near public office. The fact that anyone could read something like this and still decide this is the person they want representing them is beyond me.
This is filth. This is who he is.
And people need to see it.
Yesterday marked one year since the last rocket fired from the Gaza Strip crossed into Israeli territory. A full year without rockets or missiles from Gaza, for the first time this century.
[Anger Warning] Let's tell the story of two men...
On the left is Netanel Shakron, 36 years old.
On the right is Kadri Samara, 37 years old.
On Sunday, Shakron, an Israeli Jew, took some of his six children to ritually bathe in a fresh water spring near his home.
On that same day, Samara, a Palestinian Muslim, took a gun and went to kill Jews.
Both men went to do what they considered sacred. That should get you angry enough.
But, here's the more disturbing news. Samara murdered Shakron as an act of Palestinian terrorism.
His son was right next to his father Netanel when he was murdered. Samara pointed his gun at the child to murder him next, but thank God, an Israeli Jew nearby had a gun, and acting quickly shot Samara before he could murder the child.
Here's some more upsetting facts.
Shakron's widow, Dr. Merav Shakron, is left to raise her kids on her own. Without the generous salary of her husband, who worked in hi-tech.
Samara will enjoy a Palestinian Authority paid stiped SIX TIMES as high as a PA public school teacher. This comes from the Palestinian Authority's "welfare" pay-for-slay program, which pays Palestinian terrorists a monthly stipend based on how many Jews they kill.
Here's some even MORE upsetting facts.
Two weeks ago the British, French, and Canadian governments announced boycotts on Jewish produced goods from the "West Bank." [SIC]. Dr. Shakron, a professor at Ariel University, is subject to those sanctions.
The British, French, and Canadian governments give annual financial aid to the Palestinian Authority. They will be funding the pay-to-slay PA program that pays Kadri Samara for murdering Netanel Shakron.
The widow is sanctioned, the terrorist rewarded.
I'm so sick and tired of this.
Here's what else I'm sick and tired of. Forgive me for writing passionately from the heart, but I'm tired after Yom Kippur and out of patience.
I'm challenged directly multiple times a day by fellow Jews about the exaggerated, and many times, baseless accusations of "widespread" settler violence. [I'm not going to rehash the actual data that shows this is a tiny problem compared to real issues, but anyone honest and willing to do an hour of research will discover how blown out of proportion the settler violence label is.] I have no tolerance for people telling me to address settler violence when they don't even take the time to post, talk about, or even mention Netanel Shakron's murder and the countless other victims of Palestinian terrorism.
Three of my children have been victims of Palestinian terrorism, I lost neighbors on October 7th, my town needs security and armed guards patrolling 24/7 to protect from Palestinian terrorists. None of the Palestinian cities, towns, villages, or hamulas have guards because they don't need to protect themselves from non-existent settler violence.
If you post about settler violence but haven't posted about Netanel Shakron, I have lost respect for you. There are no excuses for only addressing one side.
Last week, Tal Amselem took her family to the Sea of Galilee. Before wading in, she slipped off her three rings and asked her young daughter to carry them up the beach to her mother, sitting a few meters away, for safekeeping.
They were nearly home when Tal asked for the rings back. Her mother handed her only two. The engagement ring was gone. “I thought I was going to faint,” she said.
Tal is the widow of Avichai Amselem, a reservist killed in battle for Israeli territory on October 9, having rushed out to defend the country following the October 7 attacks.
In tears, she called Eitan, a metal detectorist, who told her to stop crying and promised the ring would be back in her hands within the hour. She also called her uncles, who turned around and drove back to the lake. By the time they arrived, the whole beach was on its feet.
Eitan put out a call, and soon around 15 detectorists had gathered. Not long after, a young man named Amir Shor, who had come with his mother and his detector, found the ring in the water. It had apparently slipped from her daughter’s hand moments after Tal handed it over. Another volunteer drove all the way from Ma’alot, over an hour away, a reservist due back on duty who’d had tickets to a show that day; his partner told him to skip the performance and go help.
“Since Avichai was killed, my girls and I have been held from every direction,” Tal said. “I know that for any help I need, however small, I only have to ask and everyone comes running. What a rare people.”
