In the aftermath of the recent elections, many nationalist Jews are still stunned and in utter mourning over the sudden, decisive defeat of the so called nationalist camp. Bibi Netanyahu, former Prime Minister of Israel did not even wait to hear the final exit polls before announcing his resignation from politics and public life. Binny Begin, head of the splinter Herut nationalist coalition resigned without even notifying his bewildered supporters. Begin, said he could not be a public leader if he had no public to support him. With Likud now cut down to 19 seats, many continue to ask, "How could the Nationalist camp wither away so quickly, what happened?" Who killed Bibi and the Likud? None other than the Likud themselves.

With the Arabs controlling close to twenty Knesset seats, how in the world did the Likud expect to remain in power? In the 1996 elections, Likud, even with close to 60 percent of the Jewish vote, secured a squeaky narrow victory over Labor. It is clear that the Likud can only win if they neutralize the Arab/PLO votes. From the moment Kahane was disqualified from running for Knesset in 1988, the Likud effectively banned the only political party that offered a solution to the Arab demographic threat to Israel. From the moment Likud declared it "racist" to attempt to prevent the Arabs from declaring Israel's fate, the Likud signed their own death certificate. The Arabs need not be a majority to decide the fate of Israel.

"Netanyahu fell into the trash bin of history," Fraih Abu Meddien, the Palestinian's Justice Minister, said in a n interview in Gaza (as quoted in the NY Times, May 18, 1999). "He will be gone forever and good riddance. He's a racist and no other Israeli leader will ever be as bad as he was. The Palestinian people were patient for three years through his arrogance. We helped bring him down. We are the ones made this statue fall." Indeed, the PLO and the Arab Israelis brought Bibi down.

Indeed, the PLO and the Arabs of Israel sealed the fate of these elections and will continue to decide the destiny of the Jewish state. However, the PLO and the Arabs could never have killed Bibi, the Likud and the nationalist camp politically without the help of the "right" themselves.

Judean Voice correspondent Moshe Ben Israel predicted the outcome of the
1999 elections, prior to the 1996 elections, in the May 1996 edition of the Judean Voice magazine. "Likud will still have to overcome a tremendous hurdle before winning any elections. The huge and growing Arab bloc which unanimously supports the left and Peres means that the Likud needs a landslide victory within the Jewish population...Even if the Likud manages to overcome the Arab support for Peres and secure a solid majority of Jewish voters, their political future will always be threatened by the Arab demographic reality. The Likud will have to find the way to neutralize the Arab vote. The Likud shot themselves in their collective feet when they banned the late Rabbi Meir Kahane in 1988. When the Likud declared Kahane a "racist" and banned him from participating in the Knesset elections they did much more than cut Kahane's political life span. They effectively terminated their own political life span. They now fall victim to the Arab vote which is continuing to grow and multiply in Israel."

Rabbi Meir Kahane predicted the outcome of these elections before his tragic assassination in 1990, when he said, "It is either Kahane or Arafat, those are the only two choices". Well, they banned Kahane and received Arafat and Tibi.

With the demise of Israel's nationalist camp, the false illusions and delusions presented by the Bibis and the Begins will hopefully disappear. Now, there is hope that the majority of Jews in Israel will understand their illness and cut out the cancer from their midst before the body of Israel is strangled by the malignant Arab population which threatens to destroy the Jewish state not only with bombs but in the ballot. Israel is slowly being voted out of existence and being replaced by "Palestine". The Bibis and Begins who banned the only blueprint of survival for Israel in the name of "democracy" and coexistence are now gone. They took their parties, the whole nationalist camp and Israel's future down with them, unless the people of Israel rise up nullify the law and the ban against Kahane and against Judaism. Kahane's proposal to remove any Arab who is not loyal to Israel must be included in Israel's political discourse.

However, there is still hope. Now, that more and more Israelis can identify the illness there is hope to cure Israel. Without identifying the problem and diagnosing the illness there is no hope. Had Bibi been reelected there would have been no chance of saving Israel, because the majority of Jews would have continued to live in a state of denial. Now, with a PLO, Barak, Meretz regime in Israel, the Jews will be shaken out of their denial and begin to identify the political threat posed by the Arabs.

Our job is clear. To speak out louder than ever before about the Arab threat to Israel. To demand the annexation of Judea and Samaria and the removal of the hostile Arab population from Israel. If the Likud wants to return to power, they have no choice but to reinstate the Kahanist party and to support an emergency national referendum: "Do the Arabs have a right to destroy Israel democratically and to vote Israel out of existence? Do Judaism and Zionism take precedence over a Western style democracy? Is there a contradiction between a Jewish state and western democracy? Now, every Jewish leader and person who cares about Israel's future has been forced, once and for all, to address these issues. The referendum must also ask, "If Tibi of the PLO can sit in the Knesset, shall Kahane be permitted to participate in a reelection..."

Now, while there are precious few moments left for Israel, the Jewish people must be urged to take their own fate into their own hands. The Jews must decide their own destiny in the Jewish state. Only thus Israel will survive.
