* Stand up to U.S. pressure and state unequivocally that Oslo is dead.

* Expel Israel’s hostile Arabs and annex the liberated regions.

* Destroy Fatah and Hamas, and liberate Gaza.

* Purge Har Habayit of the evil Jordanian Wakf that runs amuck, and remove the structures which pollute our holiest site.

The choice is an unsound immoral one, and I refuse to partake of such a process, lest I sully my hands with Jewish blood. What are my choices? A coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu who gives a great speech, yet releases Arab murderers as a good-will gesture, or the loathsome pair of Livni and Herzog who will eat out of Obama’s hands. The former choice gradually lulls us to death with the veneer of strength and rightwing values. It saps our energy to fight and creates a culture of apathy and lethargy, ill-equipped to raise an ideological revolution. The latter choice is more sudden and traumatic.

I am not ignoring the fact that by any reasonable assessment Herzog and Livni are worse than Bibi. They are. But Bibi’s mistakes are unpardonable. Bibi released Arab murderers. And so the “better” choice is no choice for me. Perhaps there is wisdom in picking the slower death, in the chance that someone sane and civil will arise and stop the execution. But I cannot choose death based upon degrees of danger. It is an impossible position to consider a selection of nooses and state, “I think I’ll take this one, sir. It looks like it will let me breathe a bit longer.”

To those who nevertheless insist on voting, I respect their decision to act in accordance with their conscience. Follow a logical path, and vote for whatever you believe is the best choice for Torah and Jewish survival. Do what you think you have to do, but leave me alone. I’ve made my decision.
