Speaking the Truth - Moshe Feiglin's Message to Barak Obama
I'm afraid Moshe Feiglin's words will fall on deaf, arrogant ears when it comes to the US president and his administration, however, hopefully there are good Americans out there who will take heed. Religious Jews and Bible-fearing Christians can attest to the honesty of what Mr. Feiglin has to say and should react accordingly.

Speaking the Truth
An Honest Response from Feiglin to Obama
Moshe Feiglin: President Obama, both here in Israel and in your land your obvious attempt to degrade Prime Minister Netanyahu and the State of Israel has been interpreted as an endeavor to find favor in the eyes of the Arabs. After all, Moslems admire those who dare show their enemies the soles of their shoes.

Notice the soles of his shoes pointing toward the camera in a shot that he knew would be understood by Moslems to mean that he perceives Israel to be an enemy.
But there is something much deeper here than just a cynical sacrifice of Israel in exchange for American interests in the Arab world. The real significance of your Cairo speech and your declared Mid-East policy is that eight years after 9/11, the United States - under your leadership - has raised a white flag before radical Islam, has joined the evil axis and is at the forefront of the attack against the State of Israel.
The entire world looks on as the president of the United States bows and acquiesces to cruel dictators. While he simultaneously tramples the Israeli prime minister who is showing signs of weakness in a decidedly uncivilized manner.
When Chamberlain acted in a similar manner and sold Czechoslovakia to Hitler, he did not get peace in return. The Chamberlain-like conduct that you have chosen will yet bring upon your country many nine elevens, G-d forbid.
It is no coincidence that the president of Egypt did not welcome you at the airport. He didn't even bother to come to hear your speech at the University of Cairo. The Egyptian dictator humiliated you. He knew that you would nevertheless continue to yield to him, as you have conceded to all the criminals of the world.
It is important that you know, Mr. Obama, that Prime Minister Netanyahu's weakness does not reflect at all the sentiments of his nation. When you show Prime Minister Netanyahu the soles of your shoes, you would be wise to remember that the nation of Israel received the holy Torah and became a nation three thousand-one hundred years before America was established. Thirty-one hundred years before the people of America even knew about shoes.
From the dawn of history, the world has seen mighty empires that have risen, battled against the Jews and disappeared. Ancient Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome - all of them fought against us and all of them have disappeared. But the Jewish nation - the nation that has returned to its homeland after two thousand years of exile - is alive, vibrant and fulfilling its historic destiny.
In the holy Bible - the book holy to all religions - G-d says to Abraham, the first Jew:
"And I will bless those who bless you and those who curse you I will curse".
You and the United States of America have two choices: You can commit yourselves to the side of the blessing, or, G-d forbid, to the side of the curse. The choice is in your hands.
From here, from Jerusalem the site of the holy Jewish Temple, I call upon you, upon the American nation, and upon all nations that hold liberty dear. Do not place obstacles on the path of true peace that is outlined in the holy Torah. Do not place obstacles on the path of the return of the Jewish nation to its entire land, as a precursor to the redemption of the entire world. On the contrary - do all in your power to foster the process of the Jewish Return to Zion, a blessing unfolding before our very eyes.
You can also help by encouraging the absorption of those non-Jews who presently live in Israel and who do not accept Jewish sovereignty in the Jewish land into one of the 22 Arab countries or any other land that they choose. This is the only true peace plan because this is the will of G-d.
He who questions the right of the Nation of Israel to even one grain of sand of its holy land in effect has declared war on the Creator of the world.
Mr. President, if you do not want to drown the entire world in yet another blood bath, as Chamberlain triggered with his pacifism, be courageous. Restore your nation to the side of good, to the side of the nations of liberty.
As a first step toward rectification and moral clarity, I call upon you to release Jonathan Pollard. This dear Jew saved Israel and the entire world from the danger of the nuclear bomb that Sadaam Hussein was developing. He has been imprisoned in difficult conditions in your country for 24 years. The continued incarceration of our brother, Jonathan, is a message of hostility toward the Jewish nation and the State of Israel. The time has come to do justice and to release Jonathan Pollard to his family, his nation and his land.
For now, we in Israel will focus on the truly important task before us; not on the establishment of additional Arab terror states, but on Jewish education, absorption of new immigrants, building our land and modeling our society on the true foundations of a free economy that operates on the Jewish cultural values of faith and loving kindness. We will deepen our connection to the holy Torah of the Land of Israel. We will build a free society for the nation that bears the message of liberty, faith and peace to the entire world.
With G-d's help, we will cling to our historic destiny: To perfect the world in the Kingdom of the Almighty.
