Re: "...Notice how it has a similar name to the party of the black South African Nazi..."
There is absolutely NO correlation between political parties in different areas of the world which have the same, or similiar names.
NONE.
Japan's Liberal Democrat Party--as the joke goes, is neither "liberal" nor is it "democratic".
Tony Blair's Labour Party in the UK are Marxist-oriented, and many of the members have portraits of Karl Marx hanging in their offices, yet the "Conservative Republicans" consider Tony the staunch friend and ally of America.
But, isn't a socialist "the enemy"?
-Which would you prefer, given the choice of only two possibilities:
1. A socialist oriented secular Israeli government which refused to even consider ceding one inch of Eretz Yisrael to anyone for any reason, or...
2. A Netanyahu type of "conservative" Israeli government willing to compromise and "cut a deal" with anyone for any reason?
-Mapai socialists who once governed Israel, refused to consider a return to the pre-67 borders, and were as a whole intensely nationalistic and fiercely militaristic; much more so than the present group of "nationalists" we encounter today.
Don't believe it?
Research some old interviews with Golda Meir on American TV and see for yourself.
-If "capitalism" in and of itself is the criterion to which Israel or other countries should strive, and in a "capitalist" economy everything and everybody is literally for sale to the highest payer, then shouldn't Israeli capitalists have the right to sell any part of Israel's land or property to anyone, anywhere in the world willing to pay the highest price?
> If your answer to the above question is "no way", then you're not a believer in "capitalism" or "the free market".
-If approximately 16 Israeli capitalist families own and control 98% of all Israeli property and business, while the large percentage of the population struggles to survive on a daily basis, then isn't this the best State of Israel ever possible, being that many here claim free market capital to be their sole determinant of whether or not a country is "good"?
-Does not Torah command Jews to leave the corners of their harvest fields for the less fortunate?
-And if this be true, is this a socialistic command, or a capitalistic command?
-Isn't this simply taking the fruits of one's hard labor and investment and letting someone who didn't grow the food have it for free?
-And if you think it's a bad idea to "give away" things to those who aren't earning their own living, then why did Ha'Shem command Jews to do such a thing?
-Nowhere in Torah have I read a command from Ha'Shem telling Jews to sell anything and everything to anybody who will pay them!....Is Ha'Shem "anti-free market"?...Are the constant references to the Kings in support of the monarchy?...yes?...no?
-Personally I don't want to live in an Israel in which children and old people go hungry and homeless, and I don't want to "Return" to a HomeLand after 2000 years just to find Likudniks and Kadima members selling Jewish property to foreign interests, which is their "right" as "capitalists".
-Your opinions?
