Lemallah Israel Manifest

A SERVANT GOVERNMENT

LEMALLAH believes all governments should serve its people and not the other way around. Israel should be and behave as a servant government that responds to the needs of the people without treating us like children. The condescending attitude of government and bureaucracy towards its people must change and such change must come from the top down to be effective.

LEMALLAH will require all public departments and institutions that have contact with the public to publish clear instructions and procedures for any requirements mandated by that office. This will reduce our dependence from unhelpful clerks and empower the people with information that is rightfully ours in a free society.

RAINBOW
COALITION
LEMALLAH will be composed of a broad based coalition of Social, Ethnic, Business and Religious institutions with the family at its center. The LEMALLAH movement will encourage the involvement of representatives from the Russian, Ethiopian, Arab, Ashkenazi
Anglo, French, Sephardic and Religious communities.

Conversion by Fire

LEMALLAH supports the creation of a foreign fighting force of 12,000 non Jewish combatants serving under Israeli military Generals who shall form a Foreign Legion patterned after the “French foreign Legion” and voluntarily serve for 7 years, and in return receive rights to become permanent residents of Israel. This will force our enemies to fight non Jews and give an opportunity for non Jews to share in the Jewish experience.

ENVIRONMENTAL REFORM

ENVIRONMENTAL REFORM
The environment is a treasure that must be protected. LEMALLAH calls for an
environmentally friendly government balancing the needs of the society with
ecologically sustainable solutions.

REFORESTATION
We support an increase the variety of trees while properly establishing new
forest lands with ecologically balanced environments. HILLTOP DEVELOPMENT
MORATORIUM
The LEMALLAH movement supports a moratorium on all new hilltop development.
Hilltops should be left undeveloped and turned into a continuous hilltop park
system. The current eyesore of buildings on hilltops will end; providing
beautiful sunsets, sunrises and views. Israel is largely a series of hilltops
and people should look out into the landscape and see bare or forested hilltops.
We would continue to allow building on hills so long as the top of the buildings
remained lower than the hilltop so as to minimize the unnatural look of the
country. This will be goods for all the residents living on that hill as they
will all have a high location to take their children and pets. This would also
increase security as these elevated positions can be used by the military for
defense if the need arises

Cruelty Free Food

Cruelty Free Food

The
establishment of cruelty free food is important, LEMALLAH is not against eating
meat; however animals that have lived in cruel and torturous conditions are
unhealthier. Most people would not want to eat tortured animals if they could
see the conditions. We feel that animals that live in as happy conditions as
possible meeting certain minimum standards will result in a healthier society
ending the unneeded suffering of animals. We support stricter standards on
animal testing

ENERGY REFORM

Energy Independence for Israel is in Reach
Today, Israel relies on the global market for over 99% of its energy consumption, which makes us highly vulnerable. Our tense security situation and the fact that our army is dependent upon foreign fuel, prompt us to take action. We have the know-how. We can turn this situation around. It has been done before.
Brazil, with its population of over 188 million people, is the third biggest energy consumer in the Western Hemisphere. Yet, this year they will reach energy independence, according to Brazilian government estimates. At Brazilian service stations, the driver finds fuel pumps offering ethanol, gasoline/ethanol mixtures, and premium gasoline. Pure ethanol is always the cheapest alternative – almost half the price of gasoline.

Sugar-based Ethanol
In 1973 world oil prices quadrupled. Brazil, who imported 80 % of its fuel, saw its economy enter into recession. In order to limit the country’s extreme dependence upon foreign oil, the Brazilian government decided to introduce sugarcane-based ethanol as a viable alternative to gasoline. Today, the flex-fuel car provides the consumer with the possibility to choose the cheapest fuel: ethanol when oil prices are high and gasoline when they drop.

Inspiration – not duplication
The major problem with the Brazilian model is that it equates food with oil and links the cost ultimately driving up food costs. Brazil should serve as an inspiration and not as a pattern to move forward. Israel, with its unique conditions, will require a unique plan. But before that can happen, a decision must be made politically to become energy independent.

PEACE PROCESS

PEACE PROCESS
The LEMALLAH movement believes that peace agreements must be brought to a referendum of the people allowing a real examination and spurring a healthy discussion resulting in a choice of the people as a whole. The eternal future of Israel must be decided by the people as a whole requiring a two thirds majority for passage.

As a nation of spiritual people, LEMALLAH believes that ultimately our hope does not come from the United Nations who has declared that “Zionism is racism” and repeatedly condemns us for defending ourselves against terrorist attacks. Rather Israel was founded by the power of the supernatural, and our protection from the threats of our enemies to destroy us will ultimately come from the Rock of Israel. Israel is called the Promised Land for a reason, and by this promise we shall be united.
POLITICAL REFORM
Greater direct involvement by the people is essential to the democratic process. We propose to allow for a direct referendum by the people allowing issues to be placed on the ballot for public consideration with 100,000 qualifying signatures. We further support a rule allowing one third of the Knesset to place any issue on the ballot for public consideration.

MILITARY REFORM

LEMALLAH supports reduction in the current compulsory military service from 3 years to only 2 years. This policy will be will be phased in over 3 months covering soldiers currently in the military. This will save the military billions of shekels that will immediately be used to enhance the pay and readiness of career military personnel. The country will save billions more shekels as millions of young people will enter into the workplace one year sooner and begin to pay taxes sooner. This solution will increase the morale of the military, increase the readiness and professionalism of the military while at the same time boosting the economy and allowing young people to begin their lives one year sooner.
