Many IDF soldiers don’t know what they are fighting for.

Columbus discovered America in 1492. The Civil Rights War was in 1861 between the Confederates and the northern states. We also know about the Civil Rights movement and Martin Luther King.

The reason we know about this is because if you’re an “American,” and go to school, you should know about your country and heritage.

Ask most Israelis who the 1st Israeli NBA player is and they know.

However, ask most Israelis to name 7 of the 10 “Mackos” and they don’t know.

Ask most Israelis to name 2 players on the Tel-Aviv Macabee team and they know.

Ask most Israelis why Hevron is important to us and they don’t know.

Ask most Israelis to name 2 players on the Israeli soccer team and they know.

Ask most Israelis where the land that belongs to Shevet Efraim and Shevet Manashe is and they don’t know.

We have been privileged to have Moshe Feiglin at our house many times and were inspired by his vision, knowledge, and leadership capabilities.
Today in Israel we face many issues:
A) 90,000 children go to sleep hungry each night.
B) Hamas in the south. – Firing thousands of rockets in the past 4 years.
C) Hezbollah in the north.
D) Iran, G-d forbid with nuclear weapons.
E) Egypt in disarray.
F) Many Arab states now in disarray with no leadership.
G) Uneducated Israeli’s that don’t know why this land is theirs.
H) And the list goes on.

I would like to go through some things but not answer them – that is for Moshe Feiglin to do.

1. On May 14th, 1948, the state of Israel was established.
Jews around the world listened on their transistor radio of the announcement.
We were literally dancing in the streets.

2. In 1967 we were proud of the 6 day war. We captured Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount – which we gave back.

3. In 1976 we were proud of the Entebee Rescue. We were proud and all Israeli’s were
proud and all Jews felt a bond across the globe.

4. After 63 years we built a modern country with highways, sky scrappers, hi-tech
companies that are marveled around the world. The shekel is at it’s strongest.

5. And the list goes on of how many things we can take pride in.


Today:
1. UN has condemned Israel 187 times for war crimes and human rights violations.
They only condemned the Arab states 6 times.

2. Major General Doron Almog and others cannot get off the plane in London without
being arrested for war crimes.

3. We cannot visit Kever Yosef in Shechem without getting shot at or killed.

4. We cannot walk free in Hevron nor can we visit Avraham, Yitzchok or Yaakov
on a daily basis.

5. Just last week, as a family slept on a Friday night, they were
massacred in their own beds.

6. We cannot go up to the Temple Mount and pray.

7. Almost 9,000 rockets have fallen in Sedrot – I was there with my family when a rocket was launched and landed.

8. We pulled out of Gaza – for what?

9. Building freeze – for what?

10. Gilad Shalit is sitting in a hole somewhere for 5 years.

11. Jonathan Pollard is in an American jail for 25 years.

12. We are building a fence around ourselves. One of the strongest armies in the world
and we’re fencing ourselves in.

13. Many soldiers don’t know what they are fighting for.

14. Not one Prime Minister has stood up in Israel or to the world and said, “This land is
ours because G-d gave it to us.”

15. We keep recycling the same Prime Ministers.
(Bubi, Ehud Barak, Livni)

16. The world at large condemns Israel.


17. Alilyah would increase if we can build anywhere and live anywhere safely and - if
Moshe Feiglin was our Prime Minister.

18. Jewish pride would be restored - if Moshe Feiglin was our Prime Minister.

19. Jewish values would be restored – if Moshe Feiglin was our Prime Minister.

20. Israel would be a Jewish state run by Jewish values – if Moshe Feiglin was our
Prime Minister.

21. Pride would be restored to the army – if Moshe Feiglin was our Prime Minister.

22. All Jewish children would know their heritage and be proud of it – if Moshe Feiglin
was our Prime Minister.

23. The world would respect us – if Moshe Feiglin was our Prime Minister.


How will he do this, what would he do differently – ask him.
He’s here tonight.

I have heard some of his plans and goals and I am 100% confident in his abilities to accomplish
this so what can we do?
