Note: As we go to press, Israel's police have authorized the Abomination Parade, to be held next week. Manhigut Yehudit calls upon all lovers of Israel to do all they legally can to prevent this abomination from taking place in the holy city of Jerusalem. Click here to read what we had written about the previously threatened Abomination Parade.
Last week, Moshe Feiglin wrote that despite the solid support that Ami Ayalon had received for his candidacy in the Labor party primaries, he was betting on Barak. Why? Because Barak, the person most responsible for the scandalous retreat from Lebanon and Israel's consequent defeat there last summer, better fulfills the Left's desire to lose elegantly and be finished with this bothersome State of the Jews. On Tuesday, Feiglin's prediction turned out to be right on the mark.
If anybody still has doubts as to where the Left has set its sites, former Knesset Speaker and Jewish Agency Chairman Avraham Burg's new book "Defeating Hitler" makes the picture crystal clear. In an interview in Ha'aretz Weekend Magazine, Burg declared that there is no need for a Jewish state. He added that he is in favor of abrogating the Law of Return and calls on everyone who can to obtain a foreign passport, as he has already done.
And now, while these lines are being written, the Knesset has elected Shimon Peres to be the next President of the State of Israel. In other words, Israel's new President is the man who -- with hefty funding from the European Union -- sold Israel down the Oslo river, betrayed Israel's agent, Jonathon Pollard and continues to work hand in hand with Israel's enemies to ensure that the State of the Jews will self-destruct and transform itself in a state of all its citizens. It is the ultimate Leftist dream. What more can we say?
The following article was written by Moshe Feiglin three and a half years ago, following the ostentatious state celebration of Peres' 80th birthday. His observations are even more relevant today, and his conclusion is absolutely urgent.
Noah's Ark on Rothschild Boulevard

When Ruth Matar of the Women in Green movement called to ask me to speak at the demonstration to be held outside the birthday celebrations for Oslo architect Shimon Peres, I hesitated. What could I do -- for good or bad -- near that criminal? "You don't understand." Ruth told me. "People are coming from all over the world and from all of Israel's high society to honor him."
The problem is not Peres as a person. It is about the acceptance that this celebration gives him and the sense of absolute legitimacy that it lends to his path. Whoever celebrates with Peres is still totally enslaved in the chains of Oslo. After this glittering party, nobody can say that the Oslo process is dead. It is still alive and kicking and demanding its regular pint of blood. Oslo will continue to dictate our path until its architects are punished and forced to abandon the public arena in disgrace -- just as the traitorous Vichy government could not come to an end without Petain being brought to trial and expelled from French society.
So I came.
Women in Green were authorized to protest on a traffic island on Rothschild Boulevard -- far enough away from the site of the birthday celebration to ensure that none of the party-goers or the masses of journalists covering the event would be exposed to our calls. About 300 protestors came. It seemed to me that this traffic island was a modern-day Noah's ark. It was to this ark on Rothschild Boulevard that the last sane people -- survivors of the flood of madness that the Oslo decade had wrought upon us -- gathered before they, too, would be swept away.
An entire state cuts food subsidies for hungry children, but spends millions to aggrandize the man who steered us straight into the march of death, poverty and shame of Oslo. The charred bodies of children are removed one after the other from a Jerusalem bus, a bridegroom gives his bride her wedding ring -- in her grave, and the person most responsible for 1,200 stories like this celebrates his birthday with pomp and circumstance in the company of the entire Who's Who of the State of Israel. Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is appointed to coordinate the event. The President does not miss the opportunity to rub shoulders with the Israel-haters that the birthday boy calls his friends, Binyamin Netanyahu finally finds his place under the sun and Ariel Sharon is no longer able to see from there the things that we can see from here -- in the Noah's Ark of the sane.
How crazy can we get?
I remembered the words of a great and modest man who has since passed away -- Lt. Col. Shlomo Baum, who was Sharon's deputy in the legendary Unit 101 in the 1950s. "Shimon Peres," said Baum, "does not care if the State of Israel turns into a heap of ashes as long as he -- Peres -- is standing at the top of the heap."
"Look," I said to the rational people in the Noah's Ark on Rothschild Blvd., "you are the last remaining sane people. Who are you shouting to? Peres? Who do you expect to save us? Sharon? Bibi? Mufaz? They are all inside, celebrating with the Oslo architect. We are floundering in the flood of madness. Whether we like it or not, we are the last hope of the State of Israel. Nobody is demonstrating today. Deep down, the Israeli public understands that there is no one against whom to demonstrate. A son may cry out to his father, but a captive doesn't cry to his captor. If he still has the will to live, he does what he can to escape to freedom."
If we do not take responsibility and if we don't establish leadership for Israel from this ark of sanity, if we continue to look for solutions from the people celebrating at the birthday party, we will be back here on the 20th anniversary of Oslo. The heap of ashes will be much higher. And Peres and his friends will still be celebrating -- at the top of the heap.
