Recommended Book: Rabbi Kahane wrote the book "Uncomfortable Questions For Comfortable Jews"

Meir David Kahane Meir David Kahane (Hebrew:

Kahane being a variation on Cohen or "priest") (August 1, 1932–November 5, 1990), was an American Orthodox rabbi, author, political activist, and eventually a member of the Israeli Knesset. He was assassinated Nov. 5, 1990 (18th of Heshvan 5750).

Question: What's the difference between Rabbi Kahane and the rest of the Zionist camp? Answer: About fifteen years. That's about the amount of time it took for the rest of the right-wingers to come around to what Rabbi Kahane was saying concerning the Arab demographic threat, transfer, the bankruptcy of secular nationalism, and every other issue that was once considered by the Israelis to be "extreme."

The destruction of Gush Katif has shattered more myths. Suddenly, the most staunch of Zionists are questioning the once idolized IDF and the very legitimacy of the Israeli government. No longer is "Jewish unity" the buzz word or the cure for all ills. Rabbis who had once waved the "unity at all costs" banner – now speak on the need to separate from the evil government, media and judicial system. This understanding, too, comes more than fifteen years after Rabbi Kahane wrote the book "Uncomfortable Questions For Comfortable Jews," in which the Israeli dictatorship elite is first exposed as the major danger facing Israel.

Until this book was written, the focus of Rabbi Kahanes' message, too, was Ahavat Yisrael, Love of Jews. This concept was the moving force in "Our Challenge," "Never Again," and "Story of the JDL." But "Uncomfortable Questions" breaks new ground. Here, Rabbi Kahane's pulls no punches in describing the danger of the "Hellenists", the gentilized Jews who currently rule Israel. By recounting personal experiences as well as the sordid history of the Israel left, he leaves no doubt as to where the real danger to the future of Israeli lies.

"Uncomfortable Questions" introduces the concept that slowly became an emphasis in Rabbi Kahane's teachings – the concept of "erev rav", the mixed multitude – those destroyers from within who have infiltrated the Jewish People and pollute us with their self-hatred. Rabbi Kahane understood back in the 80's that the obsessive hatred directed towards him was a reflection of the "erev rav's" deep-seated hate for Jews and Judaism, a Judaism which they are determined to destroy. As Rabbi Kahane states in the introduction of the book: "They hate the Sabbath and they hate the laws of Judaism and they hate the yeshivas and they hate the rabbis. And they hate being Jewish and they hate G-d and they hate Zionism and a Jewish state and the need to be different – and they hate Kahane for representing all this".

Indeed, as the government of Israel continues on its primrose path of acquiescence to the Arabs and nations of the world, Am Yisrael is beginning to see what Rabbi Kahane expressed nearly two decades ago. This book is a must read.

This book is an expose' of the hypocrisy that defines individuals and organizations that supposedly represent the Jewish communities of the world.
