il tunnel è ancora lì. Chi viene a trovarmi ce lo accompagno. E
passiamo anche a trovare un mio amico sceicco la cui famiglia sta da
quelle parti da sei secoli. Ha tante cose interessanti da spiegare a
proposito di Israele.
The 11th anniversary marking the opening of the Western Wall Tunnel
has just passed without anyone noticing it. Eleven years of a burning
religious and messianic belief in peace which is seemingly at our
doorstep, while completely ignoring the reality of war facing us from
every direction. Only the foolish faithful who believe in the eternal
life of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who died 13 years ago, can compete with
the believers of peace, which died 11 years ago, if not long before
that.
Despite the years that have gone by, the Tunnel events are very
relevant at this time. These events serve as a litmus test for all the
moves, lies, false beliefs, and manipulations undertaken by Israeli
peace pilgrims, who are increasingly disengaging from reality with the
passage of time. It is important that we present the needed
conclusions from the Tunnel events, particularly in light of Ehud
Olmert's moves and his speech at the opening of the Knesset's winter
session; the prime minister continues to mutter peace slogans as if
nothing has happened.
First, we must recall the facts related to the Tunnel events: The
Western Wall Tunnel is an underground tunnel that runs parallel to the
Western Wall (on the exterior of Temple Mount.) The Tunnel is a
tourism site that has been active since the end of the 1980s. On
September 24, 1996, then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the
opening of the Tunnel's northern end, thus making it easier for
tourists to exit the Tunnel. Against this backdrop, Yasser Arafat
dispatched his soldiers to fight IDF troops. A total of 17 IDF
soldiers were killed, and the war ended in three days.
The Tunnel events openly revealed for the first time that Nobel Prize
laureate Yasser Arafat and his troops prefer war against Israel even
over an insignificant matter such as the opening of a tunnel's wall.
It was clear there was no connection between the Tunnel and its
entrance to Temple Mount mosques, and still, with a mere hand gesture,
the Palestinian promise of peace was replaced by war. Such
metamorphosis did not take place in the mind of some crazed Muslim
zealot, but rather, it was the Palestinian president, who signed the
Oslo Accord which he was seemingly committed to.
The Israeli media identified the ultimate guilty party for the riots -
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - for daring to open the Tunnel,
even though this was coordinated with and approved by the Shin Bet and
by the Waqf. Even this approval was concealed (and not by coincidence)
in order to allow for the attack on Netanyahu, even though then-Shin
Bet Chief Ami Ayalon admitted he approved the move as part of the
Solomon's Stables compromise.
World of dreams
In the wake of the Tunnel events, IDF officials (as opposed to the
incomprehension of the political leadership) realized that the
Palestinians are no friend, but rather, a potential foe, and therefore
developed combat doctrines and means to counter this. This activity,
which was planned thoroughly, bore impressive fruit at the outset of
the intifada, which the Palestinians renewed but were unable to harm
soldiers, who were properly prepared.
Immediately after the battles broke out, Yossi Beilin was quick to
demand the Tunnel be closed down. This demand constitutes yet another
expression of the intellectual fixation of peace pursuers, who ignore
at any price the war and the reasons for it and are quick to accept
the enemy's position. Needless to say, closing the Tunnel could have
constituted yet another Palestinian victory against Israel, which also
sustained many casualties.
Indeed, Netanyahu did not listen to Beilin's advice and left the
Tunnel open. Today, after long years of relative quiet during which
thousands of visitors visited the Tunnel and left through its northern
end without incident, we can clearly say that Netanyahu's insistence
was appropriate and necessary.
It is important to note that the regular Palestinian threat that
should Israel dare to act in contradiction to the Palestinian
position, it would lead to severe violence (on the Palestinian side of
course), is unworthy of attention. Faisal Husseini threatened that
construction in Har Homa will set the entire Mideast on fire, and as
we know today the neighborhood is already built and flourishes without
any substantial Palestinian resistance. This also happened with Temple
Mount visits, which were renewed despite Palestinian threats, and this
is what happened with any other required activity.
If this is the case, then why does Olmert waste his precious time on
peace conferences and useless meetings with Mahmoud Abbas that may
even be dangerous for the country? The answer for this apparently
cannot be found in the world of simple facts, which Olmert abandoned a
while ago - rather, it can be found in the world of dreams and belief
in the secular false messiah that is no less dangerous than Shabtai
Tzvi or any other false messiah.
