Only by election within the largest party can one lead Israel and create real change.<BR/><BR/>1. Feiglin is far from deluding himself, and we aren't whining at all. In fact, last week's election was a big win, not a loss (and I will write about that this week as well).<BR/><BR/>2. Small parties have close to zero influence. And if the manage to influence anything, it's sectarian based. The Jewish Leadership faction in the Likud is about changing Israel as a whole, and that can only be done from within the largest party in the Knesset.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-60879961714368214712007-08-20T13:22:00.000+03:002007-08-20T13:22:00.000+03:00"Congratulations, you proved you weren’t a right-w..."Congratulations, you proved you weren’t a right-winger and so therefore there was no reason to vote for the Likud anymore, was there?"<BR/><BR/>No problem, all the right wing voters will simply vote for Mafdal/Ichud Leumi instead of Likud, like they did in the last election?... oh wait! they didn't. And they won't. There simply aren't that many people who are right wing in the sense you mean it.<BR/><BR/>You remind me of the left-wingers who can't understand how Kerry lost to Bush, because everyone THEY knew was voting Democratic.<BR/><BR/>As long as Feiglin plays the role of rejected minority in a large party, rather than leader of a small party, he and his followers will continue whining and deluding themselves instead of actually making a difference in Israeli society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-73987630892647356022007-08-13T10:08:00.000+03:002007-08-13T10:08:00.000+03:00I agree with almost everything Moshe Feiglin says ...I agree with almost everything Moshe Feiglin says and identify very strongly with the ideas of Manhigut Yehudit. But I think the way Moshe expresses himself - in the sarcastic, cynical, and biting tone is counterproductive to manhigut's goals. <BR/>Moshe constantly sharply attacks others who even agree with his goals but have different tactics. This, in my opinion, is not the way to build a manhigut yehudit. Yes, a leader needs to be firm, and self assured - but a manhig <I>yehudi</I> needs to also embody the concept of <I>deracheha darchai noam</I>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
