A Letter to our Supporters from Moshe Feiglin

Dear Friends,

On the eve of the vote on Thursday, Israel's press reported that Washington was closely following the battle in the Likud. The story also made the front page of the French newspaper Le Figaro. It was not only Netanyahu and the entire political system in Israel that was in a frenzy over these elections, but the president of the US and world politicians who were worried, as well.

Since the vote last Thursday, we have heard a lot of voices telling us, "We told you so," and "Why don't you join the National Union?" But who is it who brought the future of Jerusalem out of the closet and onto the front pages last week? Who is it who revealed the facts about Netanyahu's true intentions? The splinter parties? Or Manhigut Yehudit?

Who made Bibi sweat, commit himself and run around Israel like the last of the small time politicians for an entire week? Did the splinter party representatives interest him? Did Lieberman make him lose any sleep?

There is no doubt about it – we lost this battle over Jerusalem. We fought hard, we gave it everything we had and we came home bruised and exhausted. But we were in the arena where the fight was taking place. We forced our opponent to show his cards and he also received quite a few blows. The conclusion cannot be that now we must leave the paratroopers and join the Rabbinate.

There was another battle here, no less important than the battle for Jerusalem. Last week, we waged a battle to cement the faith-based alternative in the public eye. Today, there is nobody in Israel who doesn't know that there is an alternative. And they also know that Manhigut Yehudit is the only opposition to the current government. In that battle, we won – big time.

So relax, my friends.
We put up a wonderful fight. Today’s YEDIOT – page 2 - said it best:
“Feiglin worked very hard but still doesn’t have enough strength to defeat the big guns.”
We still don’t have enough strength, but one day soon, with G-d's help, we will.
They know it.
Bibi knows it.
We know it.
We need YOU to know it, too!

This coming summer, Israel is likely to find itself facing one of the greatest crises that it has ever known in its crisis-laden history - and none of its current leaders will be capable of understanding the crisis or of providing solutions. The Left already understands the vacuum that is about to become obvious to all and is busily preparing for that eventuality with a manifesto of its same disastrous policies. For our part, we must prepare as well. That will become more and more obvious as the weeks go by.

We have the solution and whoever reads newspapers, watches television, listens to the radio or surfs the internet was made well aware of that this week. With G-d's help we will be there - battling for the Land of Israel, battling for Jerusalem and battling for Jewish leadership for the Nation of Israel – in the place where our voice impacts around the world!

With thanks for your steadfast support,

Moshe Feiglin
