Last night in the Dutch parliamentary elections, the right-wing Freedom Party scored the highest success, winning about a quarter of the seats in the House of Representatives. Now it seems that it will form a coalition and its leader will become prime minister.
Why should we even be curious about this?
The fact is that the leader of the Freedom Party, Geert Wilders, is a longtime open and energetic friend of Israel, and I personally would like to see at least some of his political views adopted by our leaders....
For example, for many years now, Wilders has emphasized that the so-called “P@lestinian Arabs” already have their own state — and that is Jordan — and that Judea, Samaria as well as, of course, the Gaza Strip should belong entirely to Israel.
And now, at this moment, this man is likely to become the prime minister of an important European state.
Let me remind you that today there are other countries in Europe, whose politicians are more and more firmly beginning to voice support for the Israeli position. Thus, the German authorities have effectively declared all Hamas activities illegal. German security services recently raided dozens of buildings where this dangerous terrorist group was operating. Since the beginning of the war, the German authorities have demonstrated quite firm and consistent support for Israel, unlike, for example, France, whose president initially supported our actions, but then began to demand a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Israel also receives strong support from the British and Italian governments. In fact, outside of Europe, in Argentina, our open and longtime friend also won the elections the other day.
The victory of the right-wing in the Netherlands is likely to influence positive changes for us in other European countries as well.
Certainly, the support of European politicians for Israel is directly related to the internal problems of these countries.
The massive and extremely aggressive demonstrations of Islamists (radical Muslims) that have swept across Europe since the beginning of our war have made many European citizens clearly realize a simple truth that many of them have so far refused to accept — if they want to maintain a democratic way of life and economic prosperity they need to support right-wing parties that advocate the restriction or halting of Muslim immigration into Europe and which demand an uncompromising law enforcement response against the avalanche of Arab-Islamic violence that is overwhelming the countries of Western Europe.
Thank G-d, this is certainly a very positive change for us.
Enlightenment and distancing people from naive, but very dangerous political delusions is taking place both in our country and in the Western world.
We, of course, view this process of world “purification” as part of a large-scale spiritual process, through which the whole world is now passing — the clarification and disclosure of truth to people, making a clear distinction between good and evil, between light and darkness.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe SHLITA King Moshiach alerts us that the “work of purification” is being completed in our generation, opening for us the era of Redemption. In front of our eyes, the truth of G-d is becoming evident to more and more people. Both in Israel and abroad, more and more people are beginning to realize that there is a side of light, a positive force, and that, on the contrary, there is a side of darkness and a force of evil. In this way, each of us could use the Divine gift of freedom of choice and fulfill G-d’s commandment by consciously “choosing life”!
Choose life, light, kindness, increase goodness, add light and turn darkness into it — as we are commanded on the holiday of Hanukkah, when we light candles in the darkness, and precisely outside — to illuminate the darkness, and bring the light of Redemption as soon as possible.
