Moshe Feiglin
Moshe Feiglin is an Israeli politician, activist, and author, known for his role in the Israeli right-wing political spectrum. He was born in Haifa, Israel, in 1962 and later moved to Karnei Shomron, West Bank, where he resides. Feiglin co-founded the Zo Artzeinu ('This is our Land') movement in 1993, which was known for its opposition to the Oslo Accords and its large-scale civil disobedience campaigns in Israel.
In 2000, Feiglin founded the Manhigut Yehudit ('Jewish Leadership') faction within the Likud party, aiming to shift the party towards more traditional Jewish values and greater sovereignty over the Land of Israel. His political stance emphasizes governance rooted in Jewish identity and ethics, often clashing with more secular viewpoints within Israeli society.
Throughout his career, Feiglin has been a controversial figure, advocating for policies that some see as extreme, such as proposing Israel pay Arab families to emigrate voluntarily. Despite the controversies, he has a significant following and has been influential in shaping Israeli discourse on nationalism and Jewish identity. He has authored several books on leadership, governance, and Jewish philosophy.
