The One Consistent Voice Upholding the Truth

1 Av 5786
Rosh Chodesh

[Translated from Hebrew.  See original.]

Rosh Chodesh Av.

Days of painful historical memory: "All her enemies have overtaken her between the straits."

And I think about Turkey, which is steadily entrenching itself in Syria and, through Jolani, establishing a modern and strong army on our northern border.

And I think about the Egyptians with their five divisions positioned on our southern border—ready and primed to charge toward Be'er Sheva—and I think about the alliance being forged between them for our destruction, and about the war drums and the horrifying rhetoric both in Turkey and in Egypt.

The Arabic translation of *Mein Kampf* remains the bestselling book in Cairo, and the Turkish interior minister wants to become the governor of the Jerusalem District...

And I think about Hamas, which has already rebuilt most of its capabilities and tunnels and even boasted yesterday about launching new rockets—thanks to the steady supply from Israel—and I think about Hezbollah, which has returned to its full strength, and I think about the Iranians, whose status as the Middle Eastern hegemon has only grown stronger, and I think about the Americans, who are pressuring us to withdraw from Erdogan's and Jolani's Syria and from Iran's and Hezbollah's Lebanon, and about Trump, who has grown tired of us—understandably from his perspective, since he initially expected us to take on the superpower responsibility for the Middle East, expel the Gazans, and seize a third of Syria, but we preferred to kick the ball back to him and remain an American client community, so Trump has placed all his chips on Erdogan and Jolani.

And I think about Abu Mazen's terrorist army—this one called the "Palestinian Authority"—which trains in broad daylight in Jericho for the conquest of Kfar Saba, and I think about the Bedouins and Arabs in Israel who, according to Col. Erez Weiner, already possess more weapons than the IDF,

and I think about our corrupt generals who have abandoned our security over the past 30 years and nothing substantial has changed in them since the disaster they brought upon us on October 7th, and I think about our statesmen, who have abandoned our security over the past 30 years and nothing has changed in them since the October 7th disaster.

And I think about the two political blocs whose leaders most accurately represent the two sides of the conception that led to the disaster and the terrible deterioration that followed it—Eizenkot as the representative of the military conception and Netanyahu as the representative of the political conception—thinking about the two sides of that same conception, accusing each other and seeking to continue exactly down the same path toward the abyss.

And I think about all the golden opportunities our Father in Heaven gave us to settle the campaign, to become the unassailable regional power, and to truly change the Middle Eastern reality from end to end—I think about the water valve whose closure would have brought Hamas's surrender within a week and the return of most of the hostages in Gaza, surrender followed by total conquest, total expulsion, and total sovereignty that only they would have brought to total victory. And I think about exploiting the success following the stunning pager operation shock, which should have led to conquest, expulsion, and settlement up to the Litani and a security strip up to the Zaharani and nonstop strikes on the capitals until the exile of all of Hezbollah—as we did with the PLO in the First Lebanon War and the establishment of an Israel-dependent regime in the capitals.

And I think about exploiting the opportunity in Syria that suddenly vanished, joining the Druze in southern Syria and the Kurds in the north, and I think about Iran, where with less than the capabilities we demonstrated in destroying its air defenses, we could have eliminated its oil production, its power stations, what remains of its dams and drinking water—yes, gas prices for New Jersey drivers would have risen and Trump would have paid the price in the midterms, but the price of our soldiers' blood, turned into sitting ducks due to an Iranian ultimatum to Trump—is higher.

They'll surely say to me now, Feiglin, what does he understand, he's not there and doesn't really get it...

That's exactly what they told me when I protested against Oslo, which brought the terrorists here.

That's exactly what they told me during the Disengagement.

That's exactly what they told me when I explained that Netanyahu's policy would lead to an Iranian nuke.

That's exactly what they told me during the Disengagement. That's what they said during Sinwar's release, in the endless opportunities when I warned of the disaster.

And what do they say today? Right, so you were right then, but now you don't understand, there's no choice...

And the truth?! The truth is it's always convenient to go back to the one who tells you everything's fine, and even after the disaster convinces you that the whole problem is only with the demon on the other side.

My friends in the Right and Religious Zionism. In the end, it's our children and grandchildren, the magnificent generation of heroes rising among us, who pay with their blood for our unwillingness to take responsibility, who pay for the reins being in the hands of leadership devoid of identity—lacking any vision beyond the Oslo vision of bloodshed.

Leadership that doesn't send our sons out to win...

This is the time! Let's start the faith revolution in leading our precious state, because only such a revolution can save it.

It will hurt, it will require all of us to step out of our comfort zones—to start building true national faith-based leadership.  

Over the grave of my grandson Yair HY"D, I swore I wouldn't let them take victory from him. This generation of heroes deserves to win. We can't dump on their shoulders the responsibility for the Oslo conception that continues to run us. Right now I'm running for the position of Defense Minister, but the ultimate goal is leading the state.
