The Price of Arrogance

Just like in America, here too public will overcome, punish liberal elite in elections.

by Adi Mintz

So what did we learn from the midterm US elections? We learned that “Yes, we can” – a revolution is possible. We realized that when the damage caused by arrogant liberalism and members of the politically correct camp is great, it prompts a popular uprising. Suddenly it turned out that in America, the general public despised the elites that are trying to lead it and felt that it’s being deceived. At that point, the public demanded a return to America’s fundamental values, and the suitable people took the lead and defeated the arrogance and haughtiness.

For years now, Israel’s elites have been very successful in leading the nation through an ongoing attempt to undermine the fundamental values that brought the Jewish people back to its land after a 2,000-year exile. The liberal elites managed to marginalize Zionism’s constitutive national narrative and took over the legal system, academia, and other establishments.

As an example, look at the two figures who reflect the dramatic change undergone by the elite. Ehud Barak, the kibbutz member raised on socialist education and personal sacrifice, joined an elite army unit, and realize the value of personal sacrifice for the sake of society. Yet what does he represent today? Hedonism, capitalism, opportunism, and the willingness to sacrifice national assets for the sake of personal, short-term goals.

The second figure grew up in the Livni household, where her parents, former Irgun fighters, raised her on passionate love for the Land of Israel and willingness for personal sacrifice for the sake of salvaging and liberating the country. Yet now she “finally sobered up” from the Eretz Yisrael delusions, via the “thinking people’s elite.” At this time she is leading the effort to hand over Jerusalem and abandon the Land of Israel’s heart.

We’re not a normal people
The elite poisoned Israeli society with an illusion of normalcy. It forgot that we are not a normal people; we are a people that survived the horrors of the exile and preserved its uniqueness in Yemen, Germany, Morocco, and the Ural Mountains. Yet we are also a Jewish state within a hostile Arab-Muslims region. Those who create the illusion that we can live a life of European normalcy here, that we can rest and live here like all other nations, weaken our stamina and produce cracks in the wall built by Israeli society and the State of Israel in the face of the flood threatening to drown us. This flood is waiting for moments of weakness, and for the defensive wall to turn into a spider web, as Nasrallah characterized it.

The message from America last week was that the sober general public knows how to overcome and overstep the heads of the liberal elite. It was able to wake up on time and drive away the arrogance and haughtiness.

In Israel, the vast majority of the general public is deeply connected to its Jewish identity. Despite the poison being injected by creators of the illusion culture, and despite the constant tainting of the atmosphere and the boycott letters against Ariel’s cultural hall, the people of Israel remain loyal to their nation and country.

The ceaseless academia and media attacks on our nationality, the Zionist ethos and militarism merely served to reinforce the pride of Israelis nationwide. These efforts are prompting the healthy, powerful counter reaction of the proud, patriotic Jew who fully backs up the army and who believes in the State of Israel’s righteousness; the Jew who under no circumstances would give up our hold on Jerusalem, on King David’s city, and on the City of our Forefathers, Hebron.

Anyone who commissions polls today and is not biased realizes where the wind is blowing. He realizes that the residents of Kiryat Shmona, Ashdod and Sderot are slowly returning to their roots; to the values of Jewish solidarity and Zionist fulfillment. Politicians on the Right and Left would do well to grasp the people’s spirit and pride. The “enlightened” talk about “occupation” and “Palestinian narrative” failed to weaken the nation, and on the day of judgment the liberal arrogance that came back to haunt Obama will also haunt Israel’s liberals.

Israel's S.H.I.T List

Self-Hating Israel-Threatening LIST

After five thousand years of Jewish history, there remain but 15 million Jews. Most have learned the lessons of the pogroms, the Holocaust and, most recently, Arab/Islamic terrorism. They are the vast silent majority.

Sadly, there are other Jews who have not learned a damn thing. They are the socialists, communists, anarchists and so-called "human rights" junkies and "peace and justice" activists. The well-being of Israel is the very least of their concerns. What they lack in number they more than make up in noise level.

Yes, a few of these Self-Hating Israel-Threatening Jews may be well-intentioned but grossly misinformed... call it brainwashed by wave after wave of anti-Israel propaganda. But most of them know the Truth but hate their heritage to such a degree that nothing else matters to them except bashing Israel right out of existence.

In an October 22, 2004 Jewish Press Letter to the Editor, Isadore Frank got it 100% right when he wrote, "Unfortunately, the vast majority of American Jews... utterly secular, thoroughly liberal, abysmally ignorant of their heritage... are beyond redemption. Not only are large numbers of them unaware or apathetic about the inroads made by "Palestinian" propaganda, many are actually in agreement, at least to some degree, with [those scurrilous] 'Palestinian' claims."

THEY ACT LIKE THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF ISRAEL!

Israel is in a struggle for her very life. She is surrounded by nearly two dozen Arab countries, some of whom have already tried several times to wipe Israel out of existence. There are also over 2 million so-called Arab-"Palestinians" between Israel and the Jordan River on sacred Jewish territory and who demand statehood even as they continue to send suicide-homicide bombers to murder Jews. And there are nearly a million and a half Arabs within Israel herself --- one-fifth of the "Jewish" State's total population --- whose loyalty to that Jewish State is questionable. In other words, Israel has a "full plate" --- enemies outside, along side and within!

Israel signed a peace treaty with Egypt in 1979. Yes, there has been no-war but there is also no peace. All economic, social and diplomatic contact has ceased. The Egyptian Army continues to arm themselves to the teeth and rehearse battle drills on the Sinai Desert --- territory Israel handed over to them as part of that very peace treaty!

In 1993 Israel signed a peace treaty with the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] leadership in the hopes that Yasir Arafat had enough of Jew-killing and might actually be ready to lead a "Palestinian" nation. He and his so-called "Palestinian Authority" were to be offered most of Judea-Samaria (the "West Bank"), Gaza Strip and part of holy Jerusalem in exchange for ending their long-standing thirst for Jewish blood. But the murder of Jews continued and with unbridled ferocity. The total number of Jews stabbed, machine-gunned, burned or detonated in buses, restaurants and shopping malls since that "peace" treaty has soared to nearly 1,400. Based upon a 60:1 Israel-America population ratio, this would be the equivalent of 84,000 dead Americas losing their lives --- or twenty-eight September 11th terror attacks!

Tourists are no longer visiting Israel in large numbers. Unemployment is everywhere. Israelis are fearful of murderous attacks that could come at any time and at any place. Frustration and despair are commonplace and Israel needs all the support she can get! This is NOT the time for true friends to pick and scratch and dig into any less-than-perfect action that Israel may need to take.

But the Jewish People have amongst them a disproportionate number of Self-Hating Israel-Threateners who, for reasons only a trained psycho-pathologist could possibly explain, have a sick need to conspire with the enemies of Israel. The notion of "circling the wagons" and protecting one's own is foreign to them and so they spew their venom toward Israel as they lick the boots of her enemies. These "anti-survivalist Jews reject, abase, disgrace and degrading themselves and their people. Call it a sickness or call it madness. It makes no difference. Israel pays the price for these traitors' actions.

"End the occupation," they collectively shout. "Stop settlement activities!" "End construction on the Apartheid Wall!" "Stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians!" "Zionism is Nazism." "Ariel Sharon is Hitler!" "Sharon is a war criminal!" "Stop the holocaust upon the Palestinian people!" "Don't treat the Palestinians the way Hitler treated you!" "Peace Now - give peace a chance!" "Land for peace!" "Create one bi-national state!" "Stop the human rights abuses!"

If anyone still wonders how the Holocaust against European Jewry could have ever happened, all he has to do is observe the behavior of today's "Judenrat" traitors. They run forth to an anti-Semitic world trying to prove that THEY are the good Jews --- not those arrogant Israelis! The Truth, however, is that these radical, leftist, academic, socialist, "progressive," enlightened know-nothings are not even worthy of the name "Jew."

Self-Hating Israel-Threatening List of nearly 8,860 Jews... as of 2-20-09. Despite what they may or may not admit, they are NOT friends of Israel. Unfortunately, they are but the "tip of the iceberg" and so Masada2000.org will continue adding names and photos. If YOU know of other disgraceful Judenrats, feel free to pass on to us their names and information as to why they should be included on this list. (They don't even have to be famous!) You will remain anonymous.
