Bla bla bla
Post must go.
Yes, I am a Russian Jew. I have family in Israel. In fact, my cousin is a famous professional dancer who represents Israel in international competition. We are proud Zionists and are very right wing. But, we are secular. Have you ever heard the quote "You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion". We support JTF politically 100%. However, I do think a huge mistake JTF is making is isolating secular right wing Jews. The movement would be so much stronger if it appealed to both religious AND secular Jews. The vast majority of Jews in Israel are not religious, and that will not change anytime soon. Shaming them does not help the cause.
Rabbi Kahane made several speeches in which he showed that the strength of the Kahanist movement was that it was the only religious political party that had a majority of non-religious supporters. You don't need to be religious to see what Torah says will make Israel a better place.
As for right from wrong though, you can make many moral arguments as to why the Arabs can continue to live with us in Israel. If you're really smart, you can figure out that the most logical course of action with the least death is that THEY must go, but there is no secular reasoning that says that the missionaries who destroy Jewish souls and hijack the culture, and to that effect have done 100x the damage that Arabs have done, are worse and must go too. Secular people usually agree on this point, because they don't like missionaries, and don't want to hear about religion in the first place, but I've never found a secular explanation why a Jew converting 7 year olds in a park behind their parents backs to idolatry is worse than an Arab who murders them, though Torah says they're far worse.
The Kahanist position is to love all of Am Yisrael. I certainly see more logic in respecting a secular Jew than a deform one, because at least he's honest. However, the positions taken by a true Kahanist movement are ancient from a time when people saw the greater good as burning their babies alive for a better harvest for all, and just as easy as it was to see the more logical set of rules in hindsight, it will be obvious to our children what the right path is to do now, but not as clear for us, since we worship the fake Hellenized Western xtian culture, which says to be nice and is destroying us.
In this generation, the insanity of that attitude is more apparent than ever, and the Kahanist position that Hashem taught our fathers in Torah is the most logical approach, so it's no surprise that secular people like you were and are attracted to the Kahanist movement.
Anyways, don't take this as hostile, but I love these arguments, and am still waiting to loose: Can you disprove one thing in Torah (If you need examples, name any other religion, and I'll disprove it in one sentence, and 2 if doesn't claim to be a divine religion)?
