Defining Terrorism
Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity. - Rabbi Meir Kahane
So. A unanimous decision by United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has upheld a terrorist designation for Kahane Chai.
Rabbi Kahane is dead, killed by a moslem terrorist. Before he died, Rabbi Kahane looked into the future and saw what so many still refuse to see. From "Forty Years," written by Rabbi Kahane in 1980:
... Israel will become an ever-growing world pariah, subject to economic and military sanctions by a United Nations of gangsters. This will be no matter what she does, for short of national suicide, the world... will not be satisfied. And the Ally will melt away like snow in the warming spring sun. American largesse will shrink...
As the more radical Arabs overthrow the conservative, feudal regimes and pressure America to strangle Israel, this is what will be. And it makes no difference if the administration is Republican or Democrat. Both are near unto themselves. The reality is that America will — not necessarily through hatred or anti-Semitism — will become the major enemy of Israel. And there is nothing, no amount of concessions that will change this.
... the Arabs will grow in quantity and quality. As technology advances, the Arab states also move towards their skills. And how many times can we bomb a reactor in Iraq, especially when it will be not only Iraq but Pakistan... and others who will soon join the Club of nuclear destruction?
As the reality becomes more clearly perceived, more and more of the Jewish people of faithlessness will turn in greater desperation to the camp of ‘peace.' They will take the path of more concessions as the only way to ‘peace.'
The nations will be panic-stricken — socially, economically, and politically. Destruction and calamity will reign; the desolation will spread. At the center of it all will be Edom (the Christian world) and Ishmael (the Moslem world)...
Zechariah: "I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, the city shall be taken... and half of it (East Jerusalem, perhaps) will go into exile."
These are the realities of a state that has lost its way.
Well. All I can say is:
Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the first manifestation of the approach of our redemption. Shield it with Your loving kindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory.
Ordain peace in the land and grant its inhabitants eternal happiness. Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: “Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will make you more prosperous and more numerous than your fathers.”
Draw our hearts together to revere and venerate Your name and to observe all the precepts of Your Torah, and send us quickly the Messiah son of David, agent of Your vindication, to redeem those who await Your deliverance.
Manifest yourself in the splendor of Your boldness before the eyes of all inhabitants of Your world, and may everyone endowed with a soul affirm that the Lord, God of Israel, is king and his dominion is absolute.
Amen
Shabbat Shalom

Jeremiah 18:19-23:
Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me. Shall evil be recompensed for good?
For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before You to speak good for them, and to turn away Your wrath from them. Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
Let a cry be heard from their houses, when You shall bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
Yet, LORD, You know all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before You; deal thus with them in the time of Your anger.
