Well written and well researched. We would be wise to heed your warning and stick to our Jewish values while we stand proud and fight for ourselves.

Accepting “fighting “ as inevitably instead of removing the people who insist on fighting with you, loosing your best and brightest in the endless wars, is not a wise choice, despite the glossy cover of “ Jewish values “. I would rather lose some of these values than continue to lose Jewish lives. It is almost like these values are some of the reasons for the loss of Jewish lives.

I support expulsion of Gazan Arabs from Gaza, in line what Europe did with millions of Germans after WW2. I am a proud supporter of Rav Kahane legacy, except that I am absolutely against any non-state violence towards anyone.

Kahane's idea of expulsion included expelling Arabs living inside Israel proper. This is inseparable from Kahane's beliefs.

The expulsion that it sounds like you’re describing far more closely resembles the Peel Commission and Ben-Gurion stances on population transfer pre-1948. Both the British and Ben-Gurion supported some transfer but minority rights in a two-state solution.
