Over 20 years ago, Rav Kahane warned what a piece of drek Benny Begin is!
Wow, excellent source. Not only did Kach criticize Benny Begin's fake supposed nationalism, they also ripped to shreds the entire premise of "secular Jewish nationalism" and predicted its downfall as we have witnessed it!
"The truth is that the young secular nationalists within the Likud, the future leaders of the nationalist camp, so empty of Judaism and tradition, will find it more and more difficult to justify "Jewishness" at the expense of western democracy and equality. They will find that their reasons for not giving up land are based more and more on practical and pragmatic reason (strategic positions, military strength) rather than on an ideology in which they do not really believe."
"As international pressures grow forcing them to pragmatically shift their views,
they will be prepared to compromise. Indeed, already the difference between Labor hawks and Herut doves is almost non-existent, and Yitzhak Rabin could easily find his place in the Herut ranks next to Meridor, Arens and others."
"When another of the princes, Benny Begin, blasts Kahane and Kach, the Jewish underground and Arik Sharon; when another of Shamir's fair-haired young men,
Ehud Olmert, blasts Jewish settlers for attacking Arabs at Dahaisha in retaliation for attacks on Jews - one knows that Herut is no longer what it was once. But more important one is seeing the natural, immutable progression of history.
Secular nationalists must in the end weaken and compromise. For they have no ideology per se. Theirs is emotion - feeding on anti-Semitism for the most part.
"It is only the Torah that gives a Jew a positive reason for being one. It is only Torah that frees the Jew from the need to have a Gentile give him a reason to be a Jew."
