ARAFAT PREDICTS DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL
During an unpublicized meeting between Yasser Arafat and Swedish-
based Arab diplomats during his January 30th visit to Stockholm, Arafat
predicted that the massive import of Arabs to "the West Bank and
Jerusalem" and the psychological warfare the Palestinians will wage
against the Israelis will cause a massive emigration of Jews to the
United States. "We Palestinians will take over everything, including all
of Jerusalem," Arafat declared, claiming, "Peres and Beilin have already
promised us half of Jerusalem. The Golan Heights have already been given
away, subject to just a few details." He further claimed that half of
the Russian immigrants to Israel are really Muslims who will fight for a
united Palestinian state in the "expected" civil war in Israel.
Arafat revealed his plan for the Palestinian takeover of Israel:
"We of the PLO will now concentrate all our efforts on splitting Israel
psychologically into two camps. Within five years, we will have six to
seven million Arabs living on the West Bank and in Jerusalem. All
Palestinian Arabs will be welcomed by us. If the Jews can import all
kinds of Ethiopians, Russians, Uzbeks and Ukranians as Jews, we can
import all kinds of Arabs to us."
He added that the PLO plans "to eliminate the State of Israel and
establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for
Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion; Jews won't want
to live among us Arabs."
In a plea for pan-Arab support, Arafat told the Arab diplomats: "I
have no use for Jews; they are and remain Jews! We now need all the help
we can get from you in our battle for a united Palestine under total
Arab-Muslim domination!" (Arutz 7 Radio News Service, 14 Feb 96)

PLO PLANS TO SURROUND JERUSALEM
A senior Palestinian source, working out of Orient House in
Jerusalem, has revealed that the PLO plans to erect a ring of Palestinian
cities around Jerusalem. The cities are to be built on lands whose
civilian control was transferred to the Palestinians under the interim
agreement. A total of 100,000 residential units are planned in the
region. (Arutz 7 Radio, 18 Feb 96)
***********************************************************************
THE PALESTINIAN CONSENSUS, 1996
The Arab mass murderer known as the Engineer was finally brought to
justice in January 1996. Occurring after the Oslo Agreement with the
PLO, his terrorist bombings had murdered 50 Jews and wounded over 200.
In reaction to his death, mass funeral and mourning demonstrations were
held in many Arab towns, and even Manger Square in Bethlehem, next door
to Jerusalem, appeared for a few hours like the central square in the
capital of Iran as the Arab masses showed their support for the legacy of
their holy martyr.
PLO leaders praised the terrorist with words usually reserved only
for Yasser Arafat himself. Every public meeting was opened with a minute
of silence or a reading from the Koran.
Radio Palestine and the various newspapers were full of emotional
reports about the terrorist, about the many young couples who named their
new babies after him, about the stormy funeral in Gaza attended by
100,000, and about the meetings of support and mourning prayers recited
in mosques throughout Judea and Samaria.
The overall message was clear -- an allegiance to the armed legacy
of the struggle of Yihi Ayash and great sympathy for his path. Not a
single Palestinian, not even anyone from Arafat's Palestinian Authority,
stood up and said: "Don't you realize that you are praising a mass
murderer, and this is as if the Jews were all praising Baruch Goldstein
and his legacy?" (From Nadav Haetzni, _Maariv Weekend_, 12 Jan 96)
*************************************************************************
ARMORED BUSES FOR JEWISH SCHOOLCHILDREN
The Etzion Bloc Regional Council will soon take delivery of three
bulletproof buses to transport students to Etzion bloc schools. The
buses were ordered at the recommendation of the Home Front Command of the
IDF and the Ministry of Education, in light of the new security situation
resulting from IDF withdrawals.
The buses have undergone a series of tests conducted by the Defense
and Transportation Ministries, who have given them their approval.
The Etzion Bloc is not the first place to receive armored buses.
The first armored buses arrived a year ago at the Gaza Coast Regional
Council. The Benjamin Regional Council has one prototype, the Samaria
Council already has two buses, and a bus was recently put into service by
the Mt. Hebron Council. The Etzion Bloc Development Company is preparing
to purchase six armored buses.
The Egged national bus company also employs armored buses.
Beginning a few months ago, these buses began operating on dangerous
routes such as Line 160 to Kiryat Arba. (_Gushpanka_, Feb '96, p. 2)
*************************************************************************
WELCOME TO OZ
At the end of 1995, the government's agreement with the PLO suddenly
confronted 140,000 Jewish men, women and children living in Judea,
Samaria, and Gaza with the menacing presence of some 30,000 armed Arab
terrorists brought in from training bases in Libya and Iraq, or released
from Israeli prisons. That same government is now moving in the
direction of disarming the Jewish population in the face of that threat,
imposing tough new regulations on Army-issued weapons, a move expected to
drastically reduce the ability of Jewish civilians to defend themselves
in a sudden emergency.
The disarming of Jews is being pushed by those who continue to
cynically take advantage of the tragic murder of Prime Minister Rabin to
wage a campaign of hate against their Jewish brothers and sisters in
Judea and Samaria, ignoring the fact that the murderer did not come from
here but from Herzliya, north of Tel Aviv. When my own government seeks
to reduce the capacity for Jewish self-defense in border settlements, I
think I must be living in the Land of Oz. -- M.A.
*********************************************************************
ATTACKS ON JEWS CONTINUE
On the morning of 21 Feb 96, as the Amram family from Tekoa was
driving to Jerusalem, young Arab men threw rocks at their car near the
village of Zaatra, smashing the front windshield. Although the car's
occupants were showered with glass, no one was injured. The stoning of
Jewish families traveling innocently on the roads by hate-filled Arabs
continues throughout Judea and Samaria, in stark contrast to the
widespread image of peaceful coexistence portrayed in the media, and
nearly three years after the "peace" agreement with the PLO.
*********************************************************************
ARAFAT WANTS MORE THAN JERUSALEM
According to Middle East expert and senior Israel Television
Correspondent Ehud Yaari, "The playing field for Arafat after a
Palestinian state is established in most of the West Bank and Gaza will
be Jordan, Jerusalem and the Israeli Arabs....It would be naive to assume
that Jerusalem is the final goal at the end of the road for Arafat."
(_Haaretz_, 29 Jan 1996)
*************************************************************************
ARABS BULLDOZE ANTIQUITIES IN BETHLEHEM
The British weekly _Sunday Telegraph_ reports (18 Feb 96) that a
unique 2000-year-old Roman aqueduct on the outskirts of Bethlehem was
bulldozed by unknown Palestinians within days after the Israeli handover
of Bethlehem to the Palestinian Authority in December. The relic, close
to Rachel's Tomb, was on prime real estate owned by wealthy Palestinians
who wanted to use the land for commercial development.
The aqueduct "was part of the heyday of Jewish existence, the most
important relic since the time of Jesus Christ," said Israel Museum
curator Magen Broshi. Israeli archeologists were incensed as the
aqueduct, which had carried water from Hebron to Jerusalem, was nearly
intact and bore a Latin inscription, enabling experts to date it. Peter
Lerne of Israel's Civil Administration said, "It was the only one of its
kind, not just in the Middle East but throughout the world."
Three years ago Israel agreed to the development of the site, on
condition that the aqueduct be protected. (From Leiah and Jason Elbaum,

**********************************************************************
THE ARAB CAMPAIGN FOR CONTROL OF LAND
When the Palestinian Authority gained its first foothold in Judea
and Samaria at Jericho, it immediately initiated a campaign "To Redeem
Arab Land" throughout those areas and sent out agents to establish
"Committees for the Return of Land" in each region.
"So far we've succeeded in securing the return of thousands of
dunams from Jews in the West Bank, working within the framework of the
Fund for the Redemption of Palestinian Land," reported a senior
Palestinian official working in the special unit established in the past
year by the Palestinian Authority for the purpose of gaining Palestinian
control of Jewish-held land. (_Yesh Iton B'Gush Etzion_, 23 Feb 96)
Examples of this campaign have already been seen on the ground in
the Tekoa area. Surveyors spotted recently in Nahal Tekoa, next to the
settlement of Tekoa and Herodion National Park in Judea, told local
residents that they were preparing plans for a hotel to be built as a
joint Palestinian-Israeli project in an area designated as Area C (Jewish
controlled area). It has been learned that representatives of the
Palestinian Authority have been making plans to claim Nahal Tekoa, the
Tekoa Forest at the entrance to Tekoa, and a Tekoa resident's vineyard on
land prepared by the Jewish National Fund near the entrance to the town.
The establishment of an independent Arab authority in Bethlehem and other
cities has had the immediate result of the initiation of Arab claims to
land in adjacent Jewish areas, all part of the new campaign being
directed by the Palestinian Authority.

Reviving Jewish Communities:
COURTYARD STORIES: THE JEWISH RETURN TO JERUSALEM'S "MUSLIM QUARTER"
Etya Dan
On a bus to the Old City of Jerusalem I asked a bearded old man if
he knew of Rabbi Reuven Kalfholtz. Since it is quite common for
Jerusalemites to know each other, the old man answered, "Yes, of course.
The Kalfholtz family is famous. By 1936, they were the last people to
live outside of the Jewish Quarter in the Old City. They lived in the
Galicia Courtyard on Hebron Street. More than eighty years ago the Old
City was built like Mea Shaarim -- that is, divided into courtyards.
Each courtyard was named for the country or city from which came its
Jewish residents: Poland, Russia, Warsaw, Galicia, Mugrabi (North
Africa), Gruzia (Georgia). About 1,000 Jewish families lived in what is
today called the Muslim Quarter. Thousands of people lived there. One
of the streets was called Hebron Street, but today it is also called
'Haldia.'"
"The first pogrom happened in 1920. I was just a child but I still
remember the look of fear on my mother's face, and the Arab screams of
'Kill the Jews' and 'God is great!' Then we got used to it as pogrom
followed pogrom. The worst of the pogroms occurred in 1929 when many
Jews in Hebron, Motza and Jerusalem were slaughtered by the Arabs, and
our troubles did not end there," the old man whispered.
"Ah, but we did have a wonderful life there within the walls. Just
100 yards from the Temple Mount there was a thriving Jewish community:
synagogues, mikvehs (ritual baths), schools, orphanages. On Purim, Mazal
the Moroccan sent gifts of food to Fayge the Ashkenazi and Fayge sent
gifts to Esther the daughter of the Rabbi and she sent to Sara-Bayla from
Lithuania. Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews lived together in love and
harmony. We even had a newspaper called the _Havatzelet_. You've heard
of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda? I heard of him from my mother. It was good that
he taught Hebrew. He also knew Arabic and he helped to buy houses and
draw up contracts with our cousins (the Arabs). That was the life!
Until the pogroms began...."
"In 1936, seven years later, life got harder and harder. The Arabs
were incited and we knew that it was dangerous to live among them. The
Old City became almost completely empty of Jews -- from those who ended
up in the cemetery to those who left for other neighborhoods. However, a
few families still remained in the Galicia Courtyard."
"Rabbi Kalfholtz sent his family away for safety but continued
himself to live and study in the Warsaw Beit Midrash in the Old City.
One Friday the Arab muezzin was louder than usual. Guttural shouts full
of hate were heard from the Temple Mount. Rabbi Reuven finished learning
and put on his hat to leave for home. His friends tried to prevent him
from walking through the market while the Arabs were leaving the mosque,
but he said, 'Shabbat is almost upon us and I must receive the Shabbat
queen.' Were these his last words or not? Only He who sits in heaven
knows. While on his way home, Rabbi Reuven was stabbed and shot by
murderers."
We got off the bus at the Western Wall and walked through the tunnel
that leads to Damascus Gate. At the first turn to the left we went up
Haldia Street -- Hebron Street of old. We looked up and there was a flag
-- an Israeli flag and across from it another Israeli flag. There were
new mezuzot attached to the doorposts. Without a doubt, the Jews have
returned to the homes which were in ruins.
We came to the doorway of a building and on it was a sign which said
"The House of Reuven -- in honor of Reuven Kalfholtz." We continued and
went up a narrow staircase where we found another sign: The Warsaw
Courtyard. Here twenty people live, learn and play. All the houses in
the courtyard are full and the sound of children's laughter has returned.
The first people came here fourteen years ago and began to live in the
ruined rooms -- David, Moshe, Rafi and others. Soon the rooms became
family houses. Four young families came to the courtyard and with them
came water, electricity, toilet facilities, and even doors and windows.
Life went its natural way and the first baby was born. The council of
families decided that the circumcision would be in the synagogue.
Unfortunately the synagogue was still in ruins and full of garbage,
without a roof and almost without walls, but in spite of everything,
including a cold winter, it was decided to bring it back to life. Two
days before the ceremony, a group of soldiers were passing by. When they
heard the story they rolled up their sleeves and began to remove the
piles of garbage from the synagogue.
A few years later, an older man came into the courtyard one day,
totally overwhelmed. "I am Mordechai Kalfholtz," he said. "I lived
here," and pointed to his house. "Unbelievable," he muttered, "Jews have
come back to the courtyard. The synagogue is full." He looked around
him and burst into tears.

ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE IN EFRAT
Mordechai Ofri is a young lawyer who helped Jonathan Pollard gain
Israeli citizenship. Ofri and his wife moved to Efrat, a new city in
Judea, two years ago and he described his new neighbors in an interview
with a local newspaper.
"I found people on a high intellectual level, very pleasant people,
who take the time to help others. The people here contribute much to
Israeli society; they're the salt of the earth, with roots and a positive
outlook. Any society in the world would be proud to be blessed with
people like these." (_Gushpanka_, Jan 96, p. 9)
*****************************************************************
WE PLANT TREES FOR OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
In honor of the Jewish New Year of the Trees, Tu B'Shvat, which
occurred on February 5th this year, schoolchildren throughout the Etzion
Bloc planted thousands of trees around Judea. Etzion Bloc Council
Chairman Shilo Gal reminded local residents that "the trees we planted
when we returned home 29 years ago have long since turned into forests.
We will keep planting for our children and grandchildren, so that they
too may enjoy their shade and cover." (_Gushpanka_, Feb 96, p. 6)

Special People:
LT. GEN. AVI RONTSKY, RABBI OF ITAMAR
Avi Rontsky, 44, father of six, is a graduate of the military high
school attached to the Reali High School in Haifa. He served his first
year and a half of service in the IDF as a naval commando, then became a
paratroop officer in the elite Shaked unit. Today he is a Lt. Gen. in
the IDF reserves and has served as deputy commander of the Shechem area.
After six years of full-time army service, Rontsky moved to
Jerusalem where he began working with problematic youth. Just before
leaving on a trip around the world, he was attracted to learn about his
Jewish heritage at Machon Meir and Mercaz HaRav yeshiva. "Many soldiers
in the unit were religious," he recalls. There was something about the
atmosphere surrounding them that attracted him. After a number of years
of learning, he was among the founders of the new settlement of Itamar,
east of Shechem, where he serves as the community's rabbi. He also
became a teacher at the Ateret Cohanim Yeshiva in the Old City of
Jerusalem.
His latest accomplishment is a new book, "As Arrows in the Hand of a
Hero: Questions and Answers in Matters of the Army and War," a guide for
religious soldiers. When Israel's first prime minister, the secular
David Ben-Gurion, set up the IDF, he agreed that the army would follow
Jewish law as much as possible, consistent with the overriding
necessities of security. As a result, all military kitchens are kosher,
rabbis are attached to every major headquarters, and training on Shabbat
is strictly limited.
Questions continually arise, however, from soldiers who strongly
believe both in their army service and the tenets of the Jewish religion.
Rontsky's answers reflect his perspective that service in a combat unit
is a great mitzvah (a commandment from God). In just one example, a
soldier from an undercover unit was concerned about his work, in which he
dressed up as an Arab woman and sometimes was required to shave on
Shabbat and put on make-up before going out on a special operation.
Rontsky researched the sources and cited a case described in the rabbinic
literature of a man who served as a spy in a foreign land where he had to
blend in totally with his surroundings. He was permitted to ignore all
the religious laws over an extended period because of his overall mission
to save Jewish lives.
When asked about the mix of military and Judaism, Rontsky replied:
"I see in my yeshiva students the same spirit that we had in the military
high school, the simplicity, the closeness, the idealism, the love of
homeland, and the sense of commitment. It's amazing how much it is the
same." (Adapted from Avihai Beker, _Maariv Weekend_, 26 Jan 96, p. 26.)

Music Review:
PROTEST ROCK
From the first song, "Where are We?," to the last, "What Will We
Answer the Child?," Rami Feinstein's album of Hebrew protest songs or,
more precisely, pro-Zionism songs is an uplifting experience. I first
heard Rami on Arutz 7 -- "Radio Free Israel" -- and my guess is that he
is not being played on any of the government-controlled radio stations in
Israel. The words of his first song expresses this feeling very well:
"And I ask, where is our voice? Where are we on everybody's radio? And
I ask, where did we disappear? Where did the voice of the majority
disappear?"
The words of the fourth song on Rami's album were written by Avraham
Stern -- "Yair," the legendary hero of the "Lehi," a Jewish underground
movement which fought for the founding of the State of Israel. Yair
declares as a groom to a bride under the marriage canopy: "Behold, you
are consecrated unto me, my homeland, according to the law of Moses and
Israel."
For me, the most moving of all the songs was the last: "What will we
answer the child who has not yet been born? What will we answer the
child when he asks clearly -- What did you do while the Land was being
given away?" Some of us can answer as Rami wrote: "We will say that we
did not continue to go about our daily business. That we cried out, we
fought, and we were beaten up." This is a quiet song where Rami sings
accompanied only by a piano.
"Protest Rock" was produced both on cassette and disk. In Israel
the price is NIS 15 and NIS 30, respectively, including delivery costs.
To order, please write to Rami Feinstein, POB 170, Sha'arei Tikvah, 44810

Book Review:
VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS
Alexander Zvielli
A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE: The New Zionist Organization and the Polish
Government 1936-1939, by Laurence Weinbaum, New York, distributed by
Columbia University Press, for East European Monographs, 295pp. $45.
In 1946, Daniel Frisch, one of the most prominent American General
Zionist representatives, accused some of the pre-Holocaust East European
Jewish leaders of having failed to follow the call of Ze'ev Jabotinsky to
save the Jews.
Laurence Weinbaum, who received his doctorate in history from Warsaw
University and now lives in Israel, presents a vivid and well-documented
description of Jewish-Polish relations and the condition of Jewish
communities in Poland and Eastern Europe in 1936-39. The author pays
special attention to Jabotinsky's warnings of the deadly dangers facing
Jews. He also sums up Jabotinsky's bold diplomatic and organizational
activities, which, if implemented, might have at least partly prevented
later disasters.
I was deeply moved by Weinbaum's study. Shortly before the outbreak
of World War II, I was present at many interesting discussions at my
father's printing press at 10 Pawia Street, in the very heart of Jewish
Warsaw. We printed the Revisionist _Unser Welt_ ("Our World") in Yiddish
and numerous other books, pamphlets, weeklies and periodicals. We were
the printers (in Hebrew, Yiddish and Polish) of Jabotinsky's great epic
about the biblical Samson, which ran into many editions.
Jabotinsky's visit to Warsaw at that time remains deeply engraved in
my memory. News spread that he had entered our courtyard, and Jews from
all over the quarter crowded in to see him. They just stood there
quietly, as if expecting a miracle.
"Would you like to address them?" my father asked Jabotinsky
politely. He responded: "And what shall I tell them that I haven't
explained thousands of times before? Jews, run...the earth is burning
under your feet...time is running out." "And what about you?" he asked
my father. "When are you moving your press to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?"
A year later we watched the Germans, assisted by Jewish forced
labor, cart our precious equipment away. My whole family perished in the
gas chambers; the press building was destroyed during the Warsaw Ghetto
uprising. My father was not alone; there were millions of Jews who
refused to move until it was too late.

THE PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL ADDRESSES THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT
On 16 Jan 1996, Israeli President Ezer Weizman spoke in Hebrew
before the German parliament:
"Two hundred generations have passed since my people first came into
being, and to me they seem like a few days. Only two hundred generations
have elapsed from the day Abraham purchased the Cave of Machpela in the
city of Hebron to the murderous conflicts that have taken place there in
my generation. Only one hundred fifty generations have passed from the
Pillar of Fire of the Exodus from Egypt to the pillars of smoke from the
Holocaust. And I, a descendant of Abraham, born in Abraham's country,
have witnessed them all.
I was a slave in Egypt. I received the Torah at Mount Sinai.
Together with Joshua and Elijah, I crossed the Jordan River. I entered
Jerusalem with David, was exiled from it with Zedekiah, and did not
forget it by the rivers of Babylon. When the Lord returned the captives
of Zion, I dreamed among the builders of its ramparts. I fought the
Romans and was banished from Spain. I was bound to the stake in Mainz.
I studied Torah in Yemen and lost my family in Kishinev. I was
incinerated in Treblinka, rebelled in Warsaw, and emigrated to the Land
of Israel, the country whence I had been exiled and where I had been
born, from which I come and to which I return.
We yearn for peace; we dream of it and pray for it. It appears at
every juncture of Jewish thought: in the Torah, the Psalms, the Talmud,
the commentaries, liturgy, and homiletics. But for these very reasons --
our infinite longing for peace, our penchant for recalling our history,
especially in its most terrible episodes, those written in this country
[Germany] -- we must be cautious and practical."
