We are in the midst of an historic civilization re-start. Western civilization, 2,000 years old, is crumbling before our eyes with amazing speed. A tsunami of Muslim immigration is flooding Europe and has already passed the point of no return. In its wake remains an ever-widening area of scorched earth that answers to the name of ISIS.

While the process in Europe has unfolded from the bottom up, in the U.S. it has begun at the top – from the president – trickling down from there. In a long-term strategic exercise that perfectly fits his worldview, President Hussein Obama has bowed before Islam, opened all the “train stations” to the ayatollahs, and deposited economic power and nuclear capabilities in their hands. The Europeans can’t wait to get a slice of the pie.

As is common during a world shakeup, the geo-political crisis goes hand-in-hand with an enormous economic crisis. One does not have to be a genius to understand that it is not just the diplomatic-security ground that is shaking beneath the nations of the world; the carpets that were thrown on the embers of the 2008 economic crisis are now starting to burn as well.

This disturbing and challenging situation demands leaders who can formulate a strategy to deal with the unfolding events, leaders who can turn the earthquakes and tectonic shifts into historical opportunities and unprecedented upgrades of the Zionist enterprise.

But although they are really good people, Ministers Steinitz and Ya’alon – the chief of staff and head of the Mossad – prevented Netanyahu from facing off against Iran. And Minister Aryeh Deri is currently preventing Netanyahu from effectively dealing with Israel’s natural gas windfall. All of them have their narrow worldview to protect. And Netanyahu maneuvers and maneuvers, speaking in Congress and speaking again…

In the face of the rapidly changing geo-political reality, the Nation of Israel has not managed to establish leadership that can effectively deal with the situation. Our leaders are all nice people, and talented as well. But they have no vision and no message. They will come and go, join and separate. They will propose all sorts of inflated balloon security theories – all of them void of any type of message.

The public, which knows no other language (thanks to the state-run media) will have no choice but to choose between the hairstyle of one politician and the inflated chest of the next general, between one politician’s “experience” and their disgust with the other.

All of the politicians are now looking behind their backs, conducting polls and more polls to figure out which political alliance will achieve the best results in the elections that everybody thinks will take place much sooner than officially scheduled. Who has time to worry about the tsunami?

This morning, Aryeh Golan of state-run radio explained to his prime-time listeners that Israel must accept the nuclear accords with Iran and stop trying to change the situation. Tali Lipkin (same radio station) explained that the IDF soldier who did not react when beaten by an Arab mob – thereby humiliating his uniform and the state he represents – had really done the right thing.

The PM and Defense Minister listen and toe the line. The rest of the politicians follow suit.

Thankfully, though, Israelis can now turn to our new political party, Zehut. Our party offers everything missing from Israeli politics. Its vision includes: 1) loyalty to our Jewish identity 2) a meaningful message and 3) a battle for liberty.

Our vision offers real answers for all the challenges facing Israel in housing, education, cost of living, health, and – of course – national security and foreign relations. That such a party of hope and vision exists is the most important message for Israelis to hear as we enter the new year.
