The Jewish National Goal
by Steven Shamrak
Many
Jewish groups, organizations and individuals are actively involved in
signing petitions, writing letters and monitoring anti-Semitism
worldwide. These are very important activities, but they all are
missing direction.
Jews
must unite behind the most important objective - the Jewish National
goal: "Jewish people have the right to live in peace on all Jewish
ancestral land". Only by uniting behind the National Goal will Jews
have the chance to survive the modern, internationally orchestrated,
anti-Jewish onslaught!
This
is the only goal that is worthwhile to pursue. It is the right of the
Jewish people and must be pursued regardless of a political affiliation
and external factors such as the Arab intentions to destroy Israel, and
international anti-Semitism! It is the national right that the Jewish
people have dreamed about for 2000 years! Therefore, regardless of the
political affiliation of any Jewish group, political party or
individual, communist or capitalist; Orthodox, Secular or Atheist - all
of them can support and be united behind this goal. And it would not
contradict their ideology.
It
is impossible to achieve anything without setting an objective. We need
to revive, re-ignite and be clear about the Jewish National Goal and
aspirations. We cannot afford to waste any more time. Our enemies
declared their intention clearly, recently and in the past. Our
ambiguity is just strengthening them and inflaming their hate!
Jewish
national aspirations are not against Arabs or Muslims. It is about the
identity and rights of the Jewish people. The International community
has done everything possible to deny Jewish people the achievement of
our destiny. The time has come to take control of our own destiny!
The
useless internal political bickering has to be stopped. The Jewish
National Goal must be the main priority and motivation for all Israeli
politicians, Jewish people, and organizations around the world. The
personal ego has to be put aside. This idea is the only one that can
unite the Jewish people.
History
is full of examples of a great number of people who became idealistic
and enthusiastic when they aspired to achieve seemingly, unattainable
goals. They were unstoppable and pursued worthwhile goals with zeal.
Jews
have this goal embedded in the Jewish soul. It would be more natural
and easier for Jews to support the creation of the Jewish state on all
Jewish lands. On the contrary, it is unnatural and self-destructive to
impose on Israel the agenda of our enemies and the duplicity of their
supporters!
