Moshe Feiglin gave a well-thought-out message with valid historical observations that give an important warning to Khameini. If only Khameini would listen and back off from his self-destructive path of being cursed by cursing Israel and letting his pride lead Iran to destruction.
However, Mr. Feiglin forgot an important history lesson himself. He confidently asserted that Israel would win decisively against Iran and all enemies because God is with Israel, forgetting the destruction of Jerusalem and the second temple and the persecution of the scattered Jews. What is the basis of his confidence now? Is it the fact that God allowed Jews to come back to their promised land and set up a nation? That happened in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, too, but that didn't stop the expulsion by Rome. Is it the miraculous victories that God has given Israel so far? But the Jews also had miraculous victories over the Greeks in the time of the Maccabees, but that didn't stop their defeat later. Rome was cursed for their role in destroying Jerusalem and scattering the Jews, but that did not restore Israel. In the same way, Iran will receive their due recompense for what they are doing to the Jews, but that does not mean that the Jews will be victorious.
I believe that my native land, the U.S., is going to be destroyed. For that reason and others, I moved out of the U.S. to South America. Recently, I have had a growing idea that Israel could also be destroyed as the Jewish country. How many people are likely to agree with that? None, I think. But I think I need to say it anyway.
