I don’t have considerable time to devote to such an endeavor. I also do not consider myself sufficiently computer saavy to be able to fulfill the outlined tasks, even if I had the time. Sorry. But I support this idea.

Well, the Rebbe has said that Moshiach would come and help the government, which seems to suggest that the Israeli govt., is going to remain in place, without a revolution. Remember that it was the revolutionaries, the “zealots” who have gotten us in as much trouble as the informers. We need Moshiach. Those two groups have caused more suffering than just about anyone else, so when someone says “Revolt!” I have to ask, “Why?” And that’s especially true now, when what we would be fighting for is as questionably true to Torah as what we are fighting against.

When to fight is elucidated here, at about 1/3 the way through. It’s when he contrasts Purim with Channukah.

The problem is that today we are attacked from both directions, so whatever we do will be the wrong thing to do. G-d help us!

In case you haven’t noticed, o august leader of the Jewish People in the Holy Land, I AM practicing what I am preaching.

Since you are here, I presume you finally comprehend precisely where you stand with regard to the State of Israel. Given this, what are YOU doing to bring about Medinat Yehudah? And do not tell me that you are powerless. Remember, when the people sinned in Talmudic times, Hashem punished the Exilarchs. Why? The Talmud tells us — they had a duty to speak, but did not. Their connections, position and authority would have made them heard — but they chose to stay silent.

No one expects you to be stupid and get yourself killed or imprisoned for no purpose. But you did not get where you are by being an idiot. So embrace Medinat Yehudah and apply the brains you surely possess. Stop asking yourself “How can I reform Medinat Israel?” Ask yourself instead: “How can I take Medinat Yehudah even one step closer to reality?” And do not tell me that you can do nothing. Even the words “Medinat Yehudah” coming from your mouth, in private, to the right ears, can change everything.

Right now, almost no one takes the idea of Medinat Yehudah seriously. Even the likes of Rav Wolpe are only venting emotion when they talk about establishing a Jewish State independent of the Israelis. They do not believe that it can be done and therefore they REFUSE to do it. But it CAN be done. It MUST be done. You know it must be done or you wouldn’t be here. When even a very large minority, let along a majority, of the dati leumi community begins to understand that we are in a situation of ein brera, Medinat Yehudah will stop being a virtual reality and will become a physical reality. You can make this happen. Not at once, but by working consistently, over time, toward this goal.

You are a leader. Hashem did not place you where you are so you could watch the Jewish People lose Eretz Yisrael to Amalek. Now get out there and LEAD, dammit!
