Moshe Zalman Feiglin (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה זַלְמָן פַייגְלִין; born 31 July 1962) is a right libertarian-leaning Israeli politician and activist, and the leader of libertarian Zionist party Zehut. As a member of Likud, he headed the Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership) faction within the party, and represented Likud in the Knesset between 2013 and 2015. Prior to becoming a Knesset member, Feiglin co-founded the Zo Artzeinu ("This is our Land") movement with Shmuel Sackett in 1993 to protest the Oslo Accords. In 1995, the movement blocked eighty intersections in an act of civil disobedience, and Feiglin was sentenced to six months in prison in 1997 for sedition against the Israeli state. In 1996, Feiglin founded Manhigut Yehudit as a continuation of Zo Artzeinu. Manhigut Yehudit joined Likud in 2000. Feiglin ran for Chairman of Likud in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2012, losing the first election to Ariel Sharon and the rest to Benjamin Netanyahu. Feiglin was elected to the Knesset in the 2013 election...
