Moshe Feiglin: Would You Have Bombed the Altalena?
The test case for all semi/demi/quasi-libertarians, such as Feiglin, is simple: Would you oppose peaceful secession?
Here’s a quote from Moshe Feiglin in his book “Where There are No Men”:
Yitzhak Rabin boasted that his proudest accomplishment in all his years of politics, was his opening fire on the Altalena. Rabin, in the paramilitary Hagana, disliked the competing paramilitary Irgun, and so he opened fire on the Altalena, an Irgun ship, and even shot those who struggled to swim ashore after escaping from the ship.
That was Rabin’s proudest moment, by his own admission.
I don’t understand. How can you support even a minimal state and oppose Rabin’s actions? When push comes to shove, what would you do?
Nothing? Then you’re a beautiful anarchist, like me. Admit it!
