Policies And Programs Written by Rabbi Meir Kahane   


4. LOVE OF JEW FOR JEW. The Jewish nation is one. There are no boundaries that separate
the Jews and the pain of one is the pain of all. There is an obligation to rush to save
oppressed and suffering Jews, wherever they may be and in whatever way is necessary. The
weak Jew who is threatened must be rescued by the Jew of strength. Jewish power, in such
a case, is an obligation.
It is unacceptable to speak of internal affairs of any country in which Jews are threatened.
In particular, while Jews remain in the Exile and are endangered by Jew-haters, it is the
role of the State of Israel to do all in its power to defend them and to put an end to attacks
on Jews. Israel was established as the Jewish State, as the trustee and guardian of Jews all
over the world. It must live up to that obligation.
For the Jew, there are no permanent allies except the Jew himself and the Al-mighty. For
the Jew, Jewish interest comes first, for who will care about him, if not himself? Public
Jewish funds must stop going to non-Jewish causes and a new order of priorities must be
established that set Jewish education - the real and substantive kind, the Jewish day school,
the yeshiva - as the most important of Jewish projects. Public Jewish funds must be set
aside, not for community centers with huge numbers of non-Jews as members, but for
Jewish defense, aliya - immigration to Israel - and Jewish centers that are truly Jewish and
not just centers.
