On video: Ministers Ben Gabir, Vassalof and Krei dance with the crowd at the settlement conference in Gaza tonight 01.28.24/without
Quite a few people who saw Ben Gavirim dancing wondered - what was going through them?
The short answer is: they are repulsive but not crazy.
The long answer requires a lot of patience.
Because the roots of the enemy - yes they are enemies - are deep and stubborn like a wart that is not easy to exterminate.
It will be tough, lengthy, but totally possible.
It is necessary to start by understanding who and what it is about.
Several dynamics of the right were concentrated in the hall in the nation's buildings.
Ben Gvir is without a doubt the eloquent representative of the "Let's Make a Mess" movement, which has used the existential hatred for Arabs as its banner, and is committed to sowing chaos in any situation and at any cost.
Must be accurate;
They are not an ideological right - they are mostly a frustrated and wild mob, no less, but not much more either.
In conceptual terms they are simply not interesting.
There have always been and will be such margins.
Just like in the exodus from Egypt "Arab Rav also went up with them".
Even though they are in the government, they can be returned to their place in the far corner and fenced off there.
A frustrated and wild mob - nothing less and nothing more.

According to the documentation that came out of the place, it is clear that some of the other dancers of the transfer are not Ben Gvir's extended family - the abominable La Familia.
Rather, God-fearing mustards. These are interesting and important. They are not driven by wild straits, or burning hatreds. Their coldness is much more frightening than the flamboyant heat of their friends. They have a clear ideology, strategy and patience. While Ben Gavirism is nothing more than a malicious and mocking attitude. They are a real danger to souls. And together they make up today's religious and political Zionism. A dark alliance of many thugs and a few fundamentalists, rabbis and populists and around them a vast envelope of silencers and enablers.
Gresham Shalom, the great Kabbalah scholar of the previous generation accept the unrestrained use of Ben Gurion with dangerous messianic exhortations. And he honestly admitted, "I do not believe that the process of secularization in the Jewish people is the end of the story.
Secularism contains the religious dynamic.
The Holy One, blessed be He, is such that even if we forget three generations, He will live in the fourth generation."
In this fourth generation - our generation - this is happening. Political religious Zionism, which grows on the hilltops, in the outposts of the criminals, and in the race theory yeshivots, is the tribe that most influences Israel's identity. They returned the God into the political arena. And this time he is not the "Father of Mercy" but "God of Vengeance", not the "Lord of Peace" but a "Man of War". For them, Zionism, religiosity, nationalism and Christianity are melted into a new raw material. Nationalist, ignorant, racist, limited in his views conservative and violent.
The secret?

This is a generation whose Christianity is its religion.
He worships power, his sons and daughters believe that "Moshe is judged by the sword", admirers of Sharara and are in love with themselves.
After all, what is the "love of Israel" if not the self-love of a people who exchanged the love of God for the love of themselves.
Torah students among them lack the self-criticism and skepticism that has characterized Jewish energy since time immemorial.
With the self-confidence of the masters of the world, they do everything in their power to impose on God and us their plan of redemption.
And you don't have the redemption of the Messianic right in Israel without the complete Land of Israel.
As the circle of Jewish conquests expanded, so did the gaol plan.
And every time Israel withdraws from reggae that were consecrated by them, the plan is withdrawn.
This is the case in Begin's Sinai, in Lebanon, in Oslo, in the Hebron agreements, in Gaza and in northern Samaria.
Consistently since the Six Day War, sovereign Israel has been giving up more and more parts of the country and their redemption plan has gone wrong again and again.
No wonder where the first occupation in so many years - the occupation of Gaza nowadays - is for them a big celebration.
The celebration of the renewal of redemption.
And in the words of that damned military rabbi: "I sit and imagine that in these days there are no dead, no prisoners, no wounded. And as soon as I move them from the screen, I am left with perhaps the happiest month of my life.... Our country! The whole country! The whole Including Gaza, including Lebanon, the whole Promised Land, we will return, Gush Katif is so small compared to what we will reach with God's help."
"There are no prisoners, no wounded. The whole country is ours, including Gaza."

The only way to defeat them is to fight them with their own tools.
Realize that it takes a whole generation to clean up the warped consciousness they engineered.
To fight "Messianicity now" with the classic Jewish tools that banned a horrendous war on this horrible idea.
To separate the state from the territories (not only for the sake of peace but also against their habitat), to penetrate their schools and synagogues in the same way they crawl underground into the core of our consciousness.
To collect religious and public prices from them, to withhold budgets, to keep them away from our schools and military service, not to give them guns and not to give them platforms.
All this is on the negative side.
On the positive side, their sons and daughters must be seduced by a different Judaism;
Open, humane, loves people and is connected to the classical Jewish sources.
We have dealt with messiahs like them in the past.
We followed them enthusiastically, fell in their wake.
We got up and moved on - without them.
Because this is the winning Jewish civilization.
