Recently, I found the principles of the National Jewish Front on the web, and read them, to see what this particular party stood for. I realized they are considered “right wing extremists”, but did not know the details of their platform. I read the Wikipedia account of Baruch Marzel, whose recent comments first made me curious to read the platform of the party. This Wikipedia account was so negatively phrased and biased against Marzel as to be almost slanderous…which made me even more curious.
Probably the most controversial part of the platform is the call for the deportation of Arab terrorists from within Israel. The details are not spelled out, but from the rest of the platform it sounds like that would mean all non-citizen Arabs and Arabs found to be connected to terrorism, even if they are citizens. That would mean no more PA controlled areas within Israel…sounds reasonable. It doesn’t appear to mean the deportation of all Arabs, but the Jewish population would be encouraged to expand through immigration and natural means, and to settle all of Israel, especially the land along the west bank of the Jordan River. Why not? It is our country.
Israeli Arabs who have not engaged in terrorism or agitated for the destruction of Israel, and have not trained their children in the Jihadi idealogy should remain in good standing, with the same rights that they were first granted, as in Torah precedents. This isn’t spelled out in the principles, this is my opinion.
Many people both in Israel and the US, hearing Chazit’s call for tearing out terrorism by the root and deporting Palestinian Arabs out of all of Israel would be horrified and call it racism. But in what way would it be racism? If they were northern Europeans, Africans or Asians behaving the same way as the Palestinian Arabs, they should also be deported. Since Arabs are doing this, Arabs should be deported, not because they are Arabs but because they are enemies.
Interestingly enough, the Palestinian Arabs, who were created by surrounding nations to be like a Trojan horse to destroy Israel, are are not welcome in any Arab country for long. There are two reasons for this.
The first is that this group was created to play the part of “refugees” for the sake of a long, patient and effective plan for destroying Israel. If other countries welcomed them, and too many gave in to the sane impulse to go home, the plan would be ruined. Consequently they are not allowed to leave the land they have invaded.
Recently Palestinian clerics have taken to forbidding Arab departures from Israel, because so many thousands of normal Palestinian Arabs want to get out. They want to get out, not because they are oppressed by Israel, but because they are oppressed by their own leaders and brothers and children. They agreed to raise their children to be killing machines for the sake of destroying Israel, and now they are paying the price. But the price will be much heavier as time goes on.
This leads to the second reason Palestinian Arabs are not welcome in Arab countries. They aren’t welcome because wherever they go, they bring their violence, unrest, corruption and hatred with them. Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Jordan have all expelled them, often with great violence and loss of life. Lebanon, the only country that welcomed the Palestinian Arabs, has had much reason to regret it.
The world insists that Israel not only tolerate this group of people, but that it should surrender to them and treat them as if they had greater legitimacy in Israel than Israel itself has. No other country is told to nurse rattlesnakes in its house and give them three bedrooms.
Even if every nation in the world tells Israel to accept the Trojan horse, open its doors and let invaders take its house, Israel has no right to accede to that demand and so destroy itself and its people. The human rights and international law that Israel is violating is the law of self defense, the right to maintain sovereignty, and the basic directive of seeing to the good of its own population.
Israel should do like their neighbors have done and expel the terrorists and traitors from their midst, no matter how many that may be. Only then will it have national health, peace and respect.
The second principle of Chazit that might be considered right wing and extremist is the call for Israel to be a Jewish nation. Why this would be considered extremist is hard to comprehend, since Israel was founded exactly to be a Jewish nation, in fact the only Jewish nation in the world. Yet many Jews object to this now. It’s hard to answer someone who thinks a Jewish nation shouldn’t be Jewish. The illogic speaks for itself. While this isn’t a majority view in words, many times it becomes the view indirectly through the policies supported by the larger Jewish community in Europe and the US.
The documents, conventions, treaties, resolutions, armistice agreements, declarations…all of it is there to be read and studied. Historical records do not support the view on Israel that has become gospel in liberal circles. However, the view of the Jewish National Front and other “right-wing extremists” is supported by historical documentation, international precedent and most importantly, by the Torah.
