Rabbi Kahane was a true visionary, thoroughly imbued with an unshakeable love for the Jewish people, the Land of Israel, the G-D of Israel, and the Torah.
He was hated for many simply because his no frills and brutal honesty hit too close to home.
In this work Kahane outlines what needs to be done to save Israel and the Jewish people. He rebukes the leftist establishment that claims to represent Jewry, as well as successive Israeli governments. Kahane points out that only a total removal of the Arabs form Israel can stop them from perpetrating genocide against the Jewish people.
Indeed the Arabs have been consumed by the drive to annihilate all the Jews living in the Land of Israel for over 80 years, and have been engaging in killings against the Jewish people in the Jewish homeland since 1920, when they embarked on pogroms in the Old City of Jerusalem against the Jews living there, followed by pogroms against Jews in Israel, in 1921, 1929 and 1936-1939.
Today they vehemently reject any accommodation with the Jewish State, and it is clear that the recent war against Israel by the 'Palestinians' is simply another drive for genocide of the Israeli people.
In this book, Kahane rebukes that leftist, Marxist, secular humanist, 'progressive' leftwing Jews who prevent Israel from doing what is needed to prevent the Arabs from realizing their dreams of genocide, and also for secularizing the Israeli youth leading them to be lost and rootless.
He provides a moving expose of the situation of millions of Sephardic Jews (Jews from North Africa and the Middle East), whose Jewish culture was in some cases brutally removed from them by the leftist Marxist establishment who laid claim to leadership of Israel (the same ones who bend over backwards to accommodate the bloodthirsty Arabs) , and how this community with it's rich culture and history suffers from so much poverty, and how too many young Sephardic Jews have fallen into the cruel trap of drugs, crime and prostitution, the tragic victims of the secular, leftist establishment.
His aim was to save the Jewish people from physical genocide by their enemies, (such as the Arabs and their backers whose aim is genocide of the Israeli people) as well as those elites in Israel who are robbing young Jews of their traditions, pride and religion, and of their true Zionism. These elites are so concerned with making Israel a western humanist democracy that they forget about Israel rich Jewish soul , and about true Zionism , which could truly make Israel strong!
