With Likud party primaries nearing, Moshe Feiglin is preparing to compete against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for the party leadership position. Towards achieving this goal, Feiglin has launched a new website.
Feiglin has been gaining support and in the eyes of many, he has proven himself as an MK and deputy speaker of Knesset. Supporters explain that while his outspoken activism for Jewish freedom of religion on Har Habayis seems to dominate the media coverage of the MK, he is actually an avid supporter of many revolutionary social efforts including the legalization of medical marijuana. He is also an outspoken activist for human and civil rights.
In a recent media interview, Feiglin has indicated that he will continue competing for the party’s top position until he achieves this goal and then he will serve as a prime minister of Israel.

Feiglin is a self serving skunk who is trying to capitilize on people’s fears of terrorists by launching his election campaign at this terrible time. Him and his ilk are also rodfim who are certainly a major part of the cause of the recent terrorist attacks due to their insistence on going up on har habayis despite it being a religious and political flashpoint for the perah adams. HE SHOULD BE RUN OUT OF TOWN-NOT VOTED FOR!!
Rebyid40: you have no idea what you’re talking about. There is not one person that knows him that will say as you do. He is very consistent and is doing it L’Shma. Every Torah Jews should be supporting him. He wants to do exactly what all of us want, that is to make Israel into a real Torah based state.
Read his books, and writings, listen to him speak and then speak from knowledge.
You and your ilk keep blaming the Har Habayis issue for the reason for the terrorist activities. How naive can you be? The Arabs have been killing Jews long before Israel was reborn. Maybe sinas chinum from all of your kindred spirits are the cause of these tragedies?
There is disagreement on the halachic issues pertaining to going up to the Har Habayis. The last generation’s Gedolim were concerned that people would go to sections that we are not allowed to go. It didn’t apply to the whole area. Rav Moshe Feinstein, ZT’L’s son-in-law goes up and he wouldn’t do it if Reb Moshe, ZT’L said no.
BarryLS1 please take the trouble to read above Harav Shteinman’s reaction to the massacre including his comment on visiting Har Habayis. Unfortunately Harav Moshe’s son-in-law is not Rav Moshe. There are many gedolim whose children do not follow in their footsteps.
@BarryLS1
I know exactly what I am talking about. Every gadol across the spectrum (sephardi, ashkenazi, etc) has said it is a issur karus to ascend har habayis. However that is not the point here. The point is that when high ranking MKs ascend Har Habayis with a public media splashy display, they are enraging a rabid dog. So much so that Jordan which has a peace treaty w Israel has withdrawn its ambassador to Israel. The family of one recent terrorists of a vehicular attack said that he set out to avenge Al Aska after seeing Police in riot gear there. Sometimes folks (like Feiglin) need step back from their ideology and use their brains!
Well said Rebyid40!
