Policies And Programs Written by Rabbi Meir Kahane   


5. NO GUILT. To be Jewish is to be the Chosen of the L-rd and Jews must rid themselves of
the guilt, self-hate and inferiority that grip so many today. Not guilt but pride; not self-hate
but intense love; not inferiority but the knowledge that Jews have been chosen from all the
nations upon the face of the earth to receive the Divine truth. Jewish pride! But combined
with the humility of bowing to the will of G-d.
What is moral and ethical, what is just and merciful, must be based not on western and
gentilized concepts but on Divine values that can be derived only from the sources of Jewish
Law. The concept of the yoke of Heaven must be accepted and must be the only yardstick
for Jewish values regardless of how they differ from western and gentile ones. Jews must
become conceptually Jewish, with Jewish public funds allocated primarily for real
substantive Jewish education that produces proud, knowledgeable and observant Jews. In
the Exile this will put an end to the curse of the Melting Pot, the public school and the
Interfaith that Jewish leaders have foisted on Jews that have caused the loss of an entire
generation.
In the State of Israel it will put an end to the spiritual tragedy of the destruction of Jewish
values among the young, particularly the Sefardi Jews who lived for centuries under
Moslems but with Jewish values that preserved them, only to come home to Israel and be
robbed of those values. The cancers of crime and emigration that beset Israel are directly
due to gentilization of the Jewish State and substitution of the values of Dizengoff Street
and America, for those of Judaism. Every public school in Israel must devote a major part of
its curriculum to Judaism and to Jewish values and commandments. A Jewish state that is
not bound by basic Jewish values and laws, courts Divine anger and tragedy. All national and
public services must be committed to Sabbath observance, and the definition of a Jew must
conform to that of Torah law.
