RABBI MEIR KAHANE: When some so-called leader gets up and emotes about what is Jewish and what is not Jewish, it pains me, because I can’t stand ignorance. Let them not tell me, a Rabbi, what is Jewish. Gandhi, a pacifist, was not a Jew. Moses WAS a Jew. And he smote the Egyptians.
We have a tremendous thing about love in this country. Everybody has to love everybody. Well, I believe there is a certain importance to hate: one has to hate INJUSTICE. Nobody has the right to put me into an oven. Evil has to be stopped. “Thou shalt not stand idly by your brother’s blood”. Moses, our teacher, used violence and taught us how to behave when a fellow Jew is suffering.
