My heart is bleeding. At this crucial moment in History, Eretz Yisrael is once more a divided house. Only Netanyahu can set the house in order, and he is undoubtly the most gifted player of the "International Game". The next few days will tell us whether he is "A Master of The Game". If not, what then?

In less than one year The Sovereign State of Palestine will be a reality, and will be admitted to UN as a full fledged member, with a far better standing than Israel. Not because it is right or fair, but because the enemy forces of Israel have been unified, while Knesset has been reduced to some sort of a "Heckler's Paradise", of which it has been said that only the proven idiots rise to the rank of "Cabinet Member".

I think that Palestine will demand, and will get exactly what Israel has been demanding for 50 years, but which was never really approved by UN; "safe and secure borders". No one will succeed in denying the rights of a sovereign state (Palestine) to establish whatever means of military strength she will decide to be necessary to ensure the "security".

So who shall decide upon the borders of this new state? And what about the capital of Palestine? Palestine has already declared Jerusalem to be the designated capital. Neither UN nor any of the member states ever recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but most of them have already in no uncertain words made it absolutely clear that they will recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

Political Scientists may voice opinions on this or that, but their opinions will be of academic interest only, as Politics is not about Science. Politics is pretty dirty business, with or without "conspiracies".

The various polls which have been published by IMRA have a story to tell which counts more than academic debates. The story is that of a divided nation.

History says nothing about what caused UN to establish Israel. Some say it was guilt. But "guilt" is not a prominent driving force in the minds of politicians, especially not in Europe, or in Israel for that matter.People with no conscience are not capable of feeling guilt.

During the WWII not a single European state had interferred on behalf of the Jews. The non occupied countries as a rule, even denied asylum to Jewish refugees during the reign of Hitler. They are all guilty. Bulgaria and Denmark are the only nations with a clean slate. To some extent this is also the case in Italy.

The "political" problem in 1945 was not that Hitlerism had killed 6 millions of the European Jews. The problem was the survivors. Europe wanted to get rid of the Jewish "problem", but realized that Hitler's "recipe" was not viable. In this context, please bear in mind that Hitler's got his racistic ideas from France and England.

England performed all kinds of tricks to prevent the Establishment of Israel. I am not able to understand that Tony Blair had the audacity to visit Israel. Fortun- ately Netanyahu was man enough to tell him go get lost, buddy.

News agencies reported from Norway, but forgot a lot: The previous Norwegian Marxist inspired government was defeated in elections last year (1997). The new government is led by the Christian People's Party. The PM Kjell Magne Bondevik is clergy, an ordained chaplain. The CPP runs the Foreign Department and the Department of Justice. In March 1999 this important Department got a new head; a devout "Liberal". Thee CCP took charge of the Defense Department, as part of Norway chairing OSCE, and in antecipation of an escalated Middle East conflict.

On the matter of Holocaust compensation, the new government reversed the recom- mendation of the former Marxist inspired government's Holocaust Commission. That is the reason why compensation is now being paid: - Change of government.

The news agencies also does not mention another fact: In all occupied countries the looted money, stocks, gold; whatever was sent to Germany. Not so in Norway. The Norwegian Nazi Government was the darling of Hitler, and was allowed to keep every ounce of gold, every seized piece of property was auctioned, every Crown was confiscated by the Nazi Government. After the war, no attempts were made to compensated the robbed - In most cases they had been fed to the ovens.

As for the radios, all Norwegian radios had been confiscated during the war. After the war the Government nationalized the Radio Corporation. Privately owned networks were banned from transmitting a single word. The State also took complete control of TV. Not untill the mid 90-s the private networks were allowed to operate, but under tight control.

Also the reports were wrong in claiming that Norwegian jews got asylum in Sweden; On the contrary, the Norwegian Jews who fled to Sweden were returned to Norway to meet a certain fate. Sweden knew. But Sweden had business partners in Germany.

Also bear in mind that even before the war, the Norwegian government was implementing most of Hitlers Racist ideology, especially regarding gypsies and mentally retarded. These laws were not ammended untill some 20 years after the war. The original constitution had even denied any Jews to enter the country. Later, a Jew rose to the highest possible position in Norway; that of The President of The Parliament, second only to the King. But he did not represent the ruling Party, the Social Democratic Labor Party. He represented the Conservative Party, whose leader, Kaare Willoch was the most notorious Israel hater in the Parliament. Willoch was later appointed Prime Minister.

Finally; The Germans did not seize one single Jew in Norway. They were all seized by Norwegian State Police.

(From a letter in "The Judean Voice")

I understand that you are upset over us, here in Israel. ..It appears that Jews who triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily... >p>Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we - the Jewish people - upset you. We upset a German people who elected a Hitler...And we go back a long way in the history of world 'upset.' ....

We upset the crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us. We upset, for centuries a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions...

Dear world, you stood by the Holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war..And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.

And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians daily dream of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well - think of how many times in the past you bothered us. In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could care less.
