_re_{you
sick of politics?}_{а Are you tired
of politicians who donТt say what they mean and donТt mean what they say?а Are you fed up with a political system that
allows politicians to hop from one party to another to obtain safe seats?а Do you know that IsraelТs fragmentedа parliamentary system magnifies personal and
party egotism?а Do you know that this
system fragments the Government and makes it}_parasitic?а

_{Do you
know that coalition cabinet Government is inherently incapable of pursuing a
coherent and resolute foreign policy, or from dealing effectively with
unemployment or with the decay in health care and other social services?}

Do you realize that while you are busy with your daily needs, you are losing, little by little, your one and only Jewish homeland, thanks to IsraelТs Arab parties whose votes in the Knesset are now determining the borders and even the character of the State? Do you know that your leaders lack the courage and wisdom to deal with this deadly problem?а

Welcome, then, to Yamin Israel, a party like no other, a party open to all Jews who, whether religious or not, want to preserve this country as a Jewish state and prevent its gradual transformation into an Arab stateЧthe goal of the PLO.

Our program is designed to empower the Jewish People and restore their vision of national greatness.а This will require more than high quality Jewish education.а We need to overhaul our political, judicial, and economic system by means of the following reforms:а

r The StateТs Paramount Principle.а Yamin Israel advocates a Permanent Law that proclaims IsraelТs Jewish essence as the paramount principle of the State. We shall therefore demand that the Government enforce the law prohibiting any party that negates the StateТs Jewish character.

r National Loyalty. All public officials must be required to pledge their loyalty to the State ofа Israelа asа a

Jewish State.а Yamin Israel also insists on enforcement of the Citizenship Law, which requires Уthe revocation of citizenship of any Israel national that commits an act of disloyalty to the State.Фа

rа The Law of Return.а Yamin Israel advocates repeal of the Уgrandfather clauseФ of the Law of Return, which has enabled tens of thousands of gentiles to enter Israel.

r Political Empowerment. To preserve the StateТs Jewish essence, the Knesset must represent the abiding convictions of the Jewish people.а This can only be achieved by making Knesset Members (MKs) accountable to the people in regional elections.ааа Also:

u Any MK who votes for a bill or treaty that contradicts his campaign pledges to the people should be subject to recall, i.e., removal from office.

u Citizen review boards should be established to prevent bureaucratic tyranny.

u Israelis abroad should be enfranchised, if only to increase the power of the Jewish vote and preserve the Jewish essence of the State.

rа The Electoral Threshold.а IsraelТs 1.5% parliamentary threshold multiplies parties, which fragment the Knesset and the Cabinet.а This is what makes it impossible for any Government to conduct a coherent and resolute national policy.а Paradoxical as it may seem, Yamin Israel, a small party, advocates a 4% threshold!а Having a grand national vision, we deplore narrow politics.

rа Economic Empowerment. The Government owns or controls most of the countryТs resources and assets.а Yamin Israel advocates privatization qualified by Jewish ethics.а This means less bureaucracy and lower taxes.а We also favor a market economy that allows the workerТs income from wages to be supplemented by shares in his company. Such an economy will preclude strikes that paralyze essential public services.а

rа Justice.а Yamin Israel endorses an American law that enables a private citizen who suffers injury from the act of any public official to sue the official for compensatory and punitive damages. Implementation of such a law would dramatically reduce not only police brutality, but the thousands of false arrests that occur each year in Israel.аа

We shall propose legislation enabling the victims of Arab terrorism to sue, without any statute of limitations, the terrorist as well as any Arab state or organization responsible for such criminal acts.а

We shall also propose legislation that no person convicted of a felony be released from jail prior to the termination of his sentence without the approval of a parole board consisting of qualified private citizens.а This will preclude the release of terrorists.

r Party Finance Law.а Yamin Israel will introduce legislation prohibiting the use of tax-money for party activities.а Parties should finance themselves exclusively from membership fees and donations of their supporters, but within limits prescribed by law.а

rа A Jewish Democratic Constitution.а The absence of a Constitution with institutional checks and balances has brought Israel to its present situation of anarchy punctuated by oligarchy.а Yamin Israel endorses the Constitution submitted to the Knesset by the Foundation for Constitutional Democracy, an Israeli-American research organization.

rа The Supreme Court.а IsraelТs Supreme Court is the only court in the world whose membership is largely determined by the judges themselves. Although the Court admits that Israel is supposed to be a Jewish as well as democratic state, the judges exalt democratic rights in disregard of Jewish rights, thus ignoring the convictions of a large majority of IsraelТs Jewish population.

Yamin Israel urges parliamentary appointment of the Supreme Court, the practice of all democracies.

rа The Land of Israel.а The Land of Israel, as stated in the Torah, belongs exclusively to the Jewish People. Yamin Israel therefore demands an immediate cessation of the suicidal policy of Уland for peace,Ф which the Government subsidizes by transferring $100 million of our tax money each year to Yasir ArafatТs private account in Bank Hapoalim!

rа The IDF.а To fulfill the IDFТs function as the guardian of the State, it will be necessary toа

u depoliticize the military by legislation prohibiting high ranking officers from participating in any kind of political activity for five years after their discharge;

u revise the Soldiers Code of Ethics by emphasizing УJudaism,Ф УZionism,Ф and УEretz Israel,Ф terms deleted by the 1992-95 Rabin Government;

u retire non-combat officers of the army at the same 60/65 age as all other citizens so that the military budget will no longer be burdened by the enormous expenditures resulting from early retirement.

rа Contract Israel.а Yamin Israel will make a Contract with the People of Israel, pledging adherence to its platform, which it will deposit with an impartial board of academics and rabbis.а

Conclusion

Israel is in danger of becoming a Уstate of its citizens,Ф the initial aim of Arab parties whose ultimate goal, however, is an Arab state.а Yet no party in the Knesset addresses this ominous fact.

u Yamin Israel is the only party that has a program of action to preserve Israel as a Jewish State.

u Yamin Israel is the only party that has a truly Jewish Constitution, one that avoids religious as well as secular coercion by means of institutional checks and balances.

u Yamin Israel is the only party that calls for political democracy and accountability by means of regional elections and the recall of legislators who violate their campaign pledges.

u Yamin Israel advocates a new kind of democracy, one based on Torah, on love of the Jewish People, and on love of Eretz Israel.

u Yamin Israel, having the most comprehensive program, is the nationalist party par excellence.а Indeed, no other party provides for the political and economic empowerment of the Jewish People.
