An Open Letter To The World by Rabbi Meir Kahane (Z"L)

An Open Letter To The World.

Dear World,

It appears that you are hard to please. I understand that you are upset over us here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry and outraged. Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset over us. Today, it is the brutal repression of the Palestinians; yesterday, it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and the Yom Kippur War campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph, and who therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily.

Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we the Jewish people upset you. We upset a German people, who elected a Hitler and we upset an Austrian people, who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians, Romanians.

And we go back a long, long way in history of world upset. We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki, who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders, who on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us. We upset, for centuries, a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through Inquisitions. And we upset the arch-enemy of the church, Martin Luther, who in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit.

It is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Jewish State. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you, and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you and thus love you - and have you love us? And so we decided to come home, to the same homeland from which we were driven out 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset.

Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please. Having left you and your Pogroms and Inquisitions and Crusades and Holocausts, having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state, we continue to upset you.

You are upset that we repress the Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset.

Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel. In 1920, 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered hundreds of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron. Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron in 1929.

Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots in 1936-39? Was it because of Arab upset over 1967? And when you, World, proposed a U.N. Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a Palestinian State alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that upset stomach caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of upset then?

The Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who - when they had all the territories they now demand be given them for their state - attempted to drive the Jewish State into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "idbah-al-yahud" - "Slaughter the Jews!" that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel.

What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today - but we should not "repress" them. Dear world, you stood by the Holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres. You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.

And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians daily dream of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well - think of how many times in the past you bothered us.

In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.

May G-d avenge his blood.

President Obama should watch this video and take it to heart. How dare he support the return to the 1967 Auschwitz borders! This we shall resist with all of our resolve!

[Eponae]

This amazing and totally truthful video should be in every school, aired on all TV stations!

Happy Hanukkah and G-d Bless Israel!

@niknokvdo - If only you had the balls to say that to an Israeli's face.

[Bobtheother]

@timewilltell7 Y r u people so obscessed with 1 sq. inch of skin? Or, is it the penis u r obscessed with? Y else r u so concerned about baby Jewish penises? R u so concerned with the penis of all baby boys or just Jewish baby boys? I've read that Homo erotic aesthetics prefer the uncircumcised penis. Is that what your obsession is all about? Circumcised willies aren't as sexy 2 u?

[greenpenone]

@Bobtheother Whatever, it has to be preferable to the intolerant ideology of the greatest paedophile, slaver, rapist, sadist and mass murderer in the history of the world.Islam's unique contribution to the world: flying carpets, flying body parts and flying into buildings. That's just for starters.

[greenpenone]

@soldierofdec You can't get much more stupid than that.

[Bobtheother]

@greenpenone Not to mention cell phones, Pentium processors, fire walls, UAVs, polio vaccines & innumeral other meds, state-of-the-art med diagnostic equipment, nuclear energy, monotheism, the Ten Commandments, the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Golden Rule, Jesus Christ, etc., etc., etc.

[Bobtheother]

@Hangshai - Enjoyed your response. It displayed all of the insightful analysis and thought provoking intellectually challenging argument we've all come to expect from rabid bigots such as yourself. You like to blame the Jews for the world's ills and all of your own failings. Pity you don't possess either the insight nor the moral courage to realize that it is mindless, hate filled, vloody savages like yourself that are truely the cause of all of the man made misery and horror in the world.

[Hangshai]

@Bobtheother Its 'genius'... Dumbass.

[Bobtheother]

@Hangshai - I'd love 2CU say that to an Israeli's face. It amazes me that, in the Information Age, anyone can be so fucking ignorant. My instinct is to educate u, but experience has taught me that scum like u have no interest in the truth or in being educated. Your primitive little mind only wants to blame others for your miserable failure, murder them & steal the fruits of their genious & labor. U contribute nothing to the world but hate, pain, death and destruction. U r a waste of oxygen.

@Eponae
