It is very important to have a Jewish club that reflects the opinion of the majority of Jews who disagree with the Israeli government but yet support Israel as a Jewish State and against any Land for Peace.
From the works of Rabbi Meir Kahane, in his book "The Story of the Jewish Defense League pg 325 he wrote the follwoing points and you tell me if they may be applied today?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It was this religious conviction standing side by side with the political knowledge that the Arabs sought nothing less than the elimination of any Israel of any size, that led JDL to launch CAIR with the following program:
1. Literature explaining the danger and the reality of American pressure on Israel as well as the threat to Israeli security posed by the present Israeli government’s willingness to surrender lands.
2. Three basic demands on the Israeli government: The formation of a new government of national unity, bringing bin the opposition parties and based on the principle of no territorial concessions; the immediate reunification of the liberated lands with the present State of Israel by the formal adherence of Israeli law to these areas; unrestricted Jewish settlement in every part of Eretz Yisroel now under our rule.
3. The organizing of mass, militant protests in New York band Washington as well as other major cities against an American foreign policy of pressure on Israel to retreat. Such protests to include sit-ins.
4. A petition directed against President of the U.S. pledging to vote and actively work against him in 1976 unless he stops pressuring Israel and changes his Secretary of State in favor of one with a different point of view on concessions. Aiming bat a million signatures.
5. Organizing fundamentalist Bible Protestants into a powerful “Christians for Zion” movement.
6. A petition (aimed at a million signatures) directed at the Israeli government and demanding the points mentioned above (2).
7. The raising of funds and political support for those groups and individuals in Israel who oppose the policy of retreat (Begin’s Herut party; The Young Guard of NRP; Gush Emunim, individual Laborites).
8. Takeovers of Israeli Consulates and Embassy to dramatize the problem.
9. A lawsuit in conjunction with B’nai Brith, AJCongress band AJCommittee charging Israel with a Judenrein anti-Semitic policy for barring Jews—AS JEWS—from settling in major areas of the liberated lands.
10. Picketing and takeovers of American Jewish Establishment offices with demands to take the lead in protesting the American pressure; Day long fasts inside well known synagogues and temples; picketing of the private homes band offices of Jewish leaders.
11. Publicizing the campaign through appearances on radio and television; ads in local Anglo-Jewish papers; leaflets in streets and major pedestrian areas; buttons reading “Not One Inch” and “There is no Palestine”; a Din Torah for negligence of leadership; tables to sign up people; monitoring of Jewish functions for leafleting.
12. The setting up of a Volunteer Jewish army trained in Israel for emergency service.
13. The creation of official JDL/CAIR groups in neighborhoods and synagogues.
It was this that led us to take over the offices of the United States mission to the United Nations; to dig up the lawn of World Jewish Congress leader Joachim Prinz who had called for Israeli “flexibility” in a letter of January 11, 1975 to The New York Times in which he expressed the belief that an Israeli victory would be even worse for Jews than a defeat (we wanted him to be consistent in his views and not to complain when someone stole his land. We also sent 20 young Jews onto his lawn one day to pitch “refugee” tents there as a reminder of what would happen to the Jews of Israel if they listened to men like Prinz); to sit-in at Temple Emanuel to protest the terrible silence of the Reform clergy (we were arrested while the next day, the Temple Rabbi, Ronald Sobel, exchanged pulpits with the Rector of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in an effort at “dialogue.”); even to sit in bat the Israeli Consulate in New York and chain ourselves to the Israeli Embassy in Washington.
We were simply obsessed with the danger to Israel that lay bin its refusal to understand its Divine destiny and did not want it to suffer the natural consequences of its blindness. “Not One Inch—” became a JDL slogan second only to the famous “Never Again.”
1. In Israel many Jewish voices are silenced. Any platform that advocates the forcible expulsion of the hostile Arab population from Israel as Israel’s only chance of survival, in banned from running for the Knesset by Israeli law.
Do you support the silencing of opinions?
2. According to a poll conducted by Haaretz, fully 1/3 of the Jewish population in Israel supports this position of expulsion of the enemy to achieve peace.
Are you satisfied with the fact that that 1/3 of the population is disenfranchised from having representatives of their view in the government?
3. In Israel the government uses force to silence opposition voices – Amona is only one example. (Similar the way Iranian authorities deal with their demonstrators)
Do you support the use of force by the Israeli government against nonviolent Jewish opposition to the government policies?
4. Michael Guzofsky, was convicted of ‘sedition’ for conducting a public opinion survey in Israel, which he conducted before the forced expulsion of Jews from Gaza in 2005. The poll asked:
a. Do you believe that the way to peace is via the expulsion of Jews from Samaria , Judea and Gaza
or
b. Do you believe that the way to peace is via the expulsion of the Arab enemy from Samaria, Judea and Gaza
He was arrested, tried and found guilty of ‘sedition’ for administering this poll.
Do you support the stifling of public opinion polls by the Israeli government?
What will YOU, as a leader, do to ensure that
• Jews have the right to voice their opinions
• Jews are allowed to have representatives in the Knesset who represent their opinions
• Jews are not attacked by police, for nonviolent demonstrations
• Jews are allowed to administer opinion polls without harassment by the Israeli government
• What will you do to ensure that ALL Jewish people will have a freedom of expression
We ask that you address these very serious issues
