They Must Go
by Meir Kahane

Description
"Every day," writes Rabbi Meir Kahane, "the Arabs of Israel move closer to becoming a majority. Are we [Israel] committed to national suicide? Should we allow demography, geography, and democracy to push Israel closer to the abyss?According to Rabbi Kahane, Israel can only be sustained by a permanent Jewish majority and a small, insignificant, and placid Arab minority. But the Arab population continues to grown quantitatively and qualitatively. They feel no ties for a state that breathes show more Jewishness. They mockingly accept moneys from the National Insurance Institute for medical services, tuition, and social welfre; yet they pay little or no tax. Even worse, they openly vow to destroy the Jewish state - not with bullets or bombs, but with the democratic vote.Is there a solution?Rabbi Kahane insists, "Yes."In this explosive manifesto Rabbi Kahane sets forth the only plan to save Israel. Israeli Arabs would be given the options of accepting noncitizenship, leaving willingly with compensation, or being forcibly expelled without compensation.Controversial? Yes.Could the Arabs be convinced to leave? "We will not come to the Arabs to request, argue, or convince," says Kahane. "For Jews and Arabs in Israel there is only one answer - separation. Jews in their land, Arabs in theirs. Separation. Only separation."They Must Go was written in 1980 while Rabbi Meir Kahane was jailed in Ramle Prison by the Israeli government under an unprecedented administrative detention order that imprisoned him without a trial, without his being informed of any specific charge, and without opportunity to know or to question any alleged evidence or witness. His crime: his philosophy concerning the danger that exists to the state of Israel by the very presence of its large and growing Arab population. Rabbi Kahane's ideas were suppressed, twisted, defamed, and subjected to emotional and hysterical diatribes by people who were too frightened to consider them intelligently or to debate them intellectually.Is there a time bomb ticking away relentlessly in the Holy Land?Can Arabs and Jews ultimately coexist in a Jewish-Zionist state?Rabbi Kahane's only answer: "They Must Go." show lessTags

Given the Hell between Israel and Gaza at the moment, I'll keep this brief. Kahane may have wanted what he viewed as 'the best' for the Jewish people, but this book despite its occasions of logic is just religious lunacy otherwise. Never does it once occur to Kahane or his Muslim or Christian counterparts that imaginary fathers in the sky and belief in magic dirt is one of the root causes of these repeated nightmares. And Meir should keep his mouth shut about blood purity considering the history of our people with that lovely little idea.
