| Little Red Iron Dome and the Big Bad Wolf | By Moshe Feiglin Israel's government recently approved funding for the Iron Dome missile system, designed to intercept short and medium-range rockets targeted at Israel's cities. The system is expected to be ready in another five years.  | "Why are your wings so black?" Little Red Iron Dome asked Kassam the Wolf. "That's racism!" Kassam whined, and refused to shake her hand. He wasn't even willing to fly in the same airspace. Little Red Iron Dome hurriedly apologized and asked Kassam to forget past grievances. Just a millisecond before that, Little Red Iron Dom had flown out of the ruins of Sderot to prance through the clouds and gather a bit of security for Grandma. Suddenly, in the midst of a cloudburst, she met the Big Bad Wolf, Kassam. The two engaged in a timely, intellectual conversation: | Iron Dome: What is written there in Arabic on your side?
Kassam: Oh -- uhh -- It's just an old joke. It's not even funny anymore.
Iron Dome: Tell me anyway.
Kassam: Well, if you insist. When I was produced, ten years ago, we thought that Iron Dome would destroy me in two and a half years from now.
Iron Dome: And why is that funny?
Kassam: It says that I can be used until 2010!
Iron Dome: So what if I'm a few years late? Just try to get past me now!
Kassam: You wouldn't dare explode!
Iron Dome: Are you crazy? I should explode because of a rusty old pipe with a bit of Egyptian explosives? Do you know what I am made of?
Kassam: What?
Iron Dome (raises her nose and flutters): My steering wings are made of titanium, I have satellite tracking software, an integral GPS --
Kassam: And what? It doesn't explode?
Iron Dome: Sure it explodes! But do you know how much I cost? With the money spent on each Little Red Iron Dome like me, Israel can build three schools!
Kassam: So?
Iron Dome: Are you the last Kassam?
Kassam: Are you joking? Of course not! My brothers are on their way. The last shipment from Egypt was a bit delayed, but since the Disengagement, the Philadelphi Route is open and we can also lift off from Neveh Dekalim. The Jews are good people.
Iron Dome: I have an idea.
Kassam: That's great. I've never had an idea.
Iron Dome: All of you can go home and I will explode in Sderot instead of you.
Kassam (loses balance): What? Do you think I'm stupid? Why should I believe you?
Iron Dome: It will be just like the Disengagement! We will call it Unilateral Explosion. You can stay in your mosques and we will destroy ourselves!
Kassam: And if we don't agree?
Iron Dome (with sensitivity and determination): We will explode, nevertheless!
Kassam: And what about Ashkelon?
Iron Dome: Well, all right. But if you launch yourselves, we will really let you have it! And so, Kassam the Big Bad and Disappointed Wolf went home to Gaza. Just before his gentle landing, he was caught by an Israeli Air Force hunter who quickly released him because the criteria for defining terrorists had been made more flexible. In a virtuosic flight, Little Red Iron Dome flew right through the window of opportunity, exploded with a huge bang and triumphantly destroyed Sderot, Ashkelon and Tel Aviv. Bibi voted in favor and then hurried to resign in protest. The State Supremacist soldiers displayed national responsibility, overcame the voices of the extremists calling for conscientious objection and launched more Iron Domes on Jerusalem and Haifa. In a rare display of sympathy, Olmert announced that those who have relatives in Haifa (next of kin only) will shoot the Iron Domes at Jerusalem only and vice versa. Afterwards, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and joined his sons in New York. Azmi Bashara was nice enough to take his place, the danger to democracy passed, Peres' dream was realized and Israel was accepted to the Arab League. |
| Leftists Photographed Staging "Settler Harassment of Arabs"Residents of Elon Moreh have photographed extreme-left activists deliberately damaging Arab property in order to create conflict. by Maayana Miskin and Ezra HaLevi 04 October 07 |  | | | (IsraelNN.com) Residents of the Shomron town of Elon Moreh have accused extreme-left activists of deliberately damaging Arab property in order to create conflict. They also say Yediot Acharonot and its associated website Ynet have refused to correct their libel. Benny Katzover, a senior founder of Elon Moreh, spoke with Arutz-7 and recounted the events leading up to what he says were attempts by left-wing activists to sully Jewish residents' good names and create conflict with the neighboring Arab village. The village in question, Dir el-Hattab, was hooked up to the Israeli water utility thanks to Katzover's own initiative as mayor of Elon Moreh. Recently, Jewish youth who refurbished a park area within Elon Moreh's municipal boundaries set up a small pool, connected to the water line leading to the village. The pool did not disrupt the flow of water to the village until somebody began cutting the pipe flowing toward the village. A resident of the town recently photographed leftists as they damaged a water pipe leading to a nearby Arab village. Elon Moreh residents argue that the leftists were hoping to lead the Arabs to think that their Jewish neighbors were destroying their water supply. After destroying the pipe, residents said, the leftists reported the incident to the Yediot Acharonot newspaper, which published an article accusing the Jews of Elon Moreh of harassing local Arabs and stealing their water. "They were more than happy to publish a half-page story on how we abuse our neighbors, without an ounce of research," Katzover said. He added that the leftists were led by Kibbutz Movement Chairman Yoel Marshak, infamous for his involvement in claims that Arab olive trees were destroyed by Jews, when in fact they had been pruned by their owners and left-wing activists. An Arab man quoted in the article was not even from the village of Dir el-Hattab to which the water in the pipe flows, one resident of Elon Moreh explained, but rather from the hostile village Kfar Salam. Yediot Acharonot ignored complaints from Elon Moreh, he said, and did not change the article even after receiving photographs of the leftists damaging the pipe.

| Bibi Feeling the Heat | |  The fact that Bibi is going to such great and absurd extremes to disqualify Moshe Feiglin from the race shows that he is feeling the heat. Although he started the race completely confident in his easy victory, the daily polls that he takes reveal a startlingly different picture. Just today, a Likud internet poll shows Moshe Feiglin with over 50% support. Bibi trails behind him with over 40% support and Danino is far behind. The phone polls that Bibi takes verify this trend.

 | A Culture of Loyalty | | Manhigut Yehudit Weekly Update July 5. Issue: 6739 Excerpted and translated from Moshe Feiglin's book, "The War of Dreams." Rosh Chodesh Elul, 5760
August, 2000 | The basic disagreement that is tearing the Israeli public into (very unequal) pieces does not really relate to solving Israel's problems with the Arabs. The disagreement is a fundamental cultural rift -- a conflict between the culture of loyalty and the culture of betrayal. "Are you crazy?!" Yossi Beilin bellowed when asked why Israel betrayed the South Lebanese Army. "If we had left them there, the Hizbollah would have shot at them, they would have shot back, and then the Hizbollah would have shot at Israel!" In effect, Beilin admitted that Israel chose to betray the soldiers of the South Lebanese Army, who had risked their lives for us -- simply because at that moment it did not pay to remain loyal. The interviewer did not continue to question Beilin on that point, because he accepted his response as completely sensible. To a person who has chosen the culture of betrayal, Beilin's excuses make perfect sense. The culture that rules today in the State of Israel is the culture of betrayal. A person who is loyal to his wife, to his family, to his nation and to his heritage is necessarily going to be loyal to his land and his allies. Opposite him stand those who place themselves at the center of existence. They will obviously choose the path of betrayal -- starting with those closest to them and extending to every type of relationship in which they have a part. We cannot expect a person whose culture is not based on loyalty to suddenly display faithfulness at a certain point, no matter how talented or educated he may be. As soon as conflict arises between short term gain and long term principles -- the principles (and promises) will evaporate. Before we demand that a candidate of the National Camp nullify the fiascos of the Left, we must demand an answer to the most important question: What is his cultural base? To what values is our candidate truly loyal -- other than himself? We must demand that he inform us not only of his plans to bring our State peace and security, but more importantly, why he thinks we need a Jewish state in the first place. Many Leftists have already openly declared that a Jewish state is unnecessary. Please explain, Mr. Candidate, why they are mistaken. These are not philosophical questions. Reality has already proven that if there is no true answer to these basic questions, the Right's candidate will also necessarily fulfill the policies of the Left.
