“I don’t speak because I have the power to speak; I speak because I don’t have the power to remain silent.” Rav Kook z"l

When a woman in hijab passionately challenged Rabbi Meir Kahane:Watch his response

 

 Classic 1980s debate moment. 

A woman in hijab passionately challenges Rabbi Meir Kahane: “How can you have no compassion for the Arab people?” invoking Hitler and Palestinian suffering.

Kahane’s calm, piercing response cuts through:

“You had an opportunity for your own state in 1948. The UN proposed partition plan which would have created a Palestine and an Israel. You went to war. You killed 6,000 of our people. ’56, another war. ’67, another war. ’73, another war. I don’t trust you. I don’t believe you. When I’m attacked and I win and you lose, and you’re the one that started it, learn one thing… you take the consequences of your actions.”

Raw, unfiltered truth about repeated rejection of peace and the cost of starting wars. 

No slogans. Just history.
