Angry activists

As British National Party chairman Nick Griffin noted during an interview by Robert Locke, "At the end of the day, it's always the positive agendas that win in politics. Anger about what is being done to this country is legitimate, but mere anger just leads to hooliganism and political impotence. It attracts angry activists who can't behave themselves or articulate an agenda, and once you've milked the public's resentments, you've got nothing more to offer them and you stall politically. It's the positive vision of a restored and redeemed Britain that's the key for us now."

This insightful comment made me reflect about how Meir Kahane loved God, the Jewish People and Israel, but it appears he attracted some who were merely "angry activists" (as every group and organization tends to), religious thugs out for a brawl who misrepresented the vast majority, rather than serve as angry activists with a positive agenda based on a deep and abiding and evident love for God, the Jewish People and Israel.

I'm also aware that no matter how perfect proper activists are there will be critics who will focus on the messengers rather than the message and lose sight of it all and distract others with their diversionary tactics. We're to carry on with our biblical message and not let barking dogs slow us down or turn us aside. There's Work to be done and we must be about it, so help us God!

Kahane chai!
