"The rest of the Jews... defended themselves successfully against their foes, slaying 75,000 of their enemies...
That is why Jewish villagers living
in unwalled towns celebrate the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as an occasion of
gladness and festivity..."
(Esther 9:1619)
And of course there are no coincidences; it was on Purim,the l4th day of Adar,on Erev Shabbat, that the "tsaddik of Kiryat Arba" overturned the evil decree of the murderers-at-prayer,thus preventing the deaths of hundreds of Jews living in Hebron.
Anyone with an open eye and an open mind was forewarned of the Arab death plot. The Cave of Macbpelah was salted with flyers advising the Muslims to stock up on food in anticipation of the curfew that would surely follow the massacre they intended. Witness after witness attempted to inform the Shamgar Commission, created to obscure the truth, that automatic rifles had been found in the Cave in readiness to commit murder.
Dr. Goldstein knew, because he had been ordered by the Army to prepare extra medical supplies. And every Friday,the saint of Kiryat Arba would visit the forgotten Jewish Prisoners of Conscience in the hellhole of Ayalon. Helen Walls, mother of Nachson Walls, a ger tsedek sentenced to Ayalon for life, had called Dr. Goldstein the week of his martyrdom. "Nachson needs your attention this week, Dr. Goldstein," she informed him. "Not this week, Mrs. Walls " was his reply.
Why didn't the Army inform the intended victims before Dr. Goldstein acted? Shurely the Army was aware, and most surely the Commander-in-Chief - the evil Yitzhak Rabin, that Jews would die on Purim.
A very likely possibility was that Rabin wanted the Jews of Hebron to be driven out, and politically too weak to accomplish this, he was willing to let the Arabs do his dirty work for him. If this is so, and this scenario does answer many questions, then Rabin is guilty of High Treason.
This will explain Rabin's savage demonization of Dr. Goldstein. He called the preemptive salvation of Jews "unJewish". This maivin of Jewish learning termed Dr. Goldstein a "foreign implant" and an "errant weed". No wonder Rabin was furious; the Hand of God had stayed the hand of man. This theory also explains the administrative detention of dissidents. Publishing that Dr. Goldstein had acted "alone", Rabin fortuitiously discovered a scapegoat - Rabbi Meir Kahane's movement, already satanized by both Labor and Likkud.
But the unanswered questions persisted and still persist. Who killed Dr. Goldstein? If the Arabs did, then this is "murder" and murder must be investigated; if the Army dilled Dr. Goldstein, then why has there been no responsibility assessed? What were Rabin's secret instructions to the Shamgar Commission? The Commission's report showed some vague understanding of the Doctor's actions. Other investigative commissions heretofore have brought down governments. What not this one?
My wife and I were in the Cave of Machpelah with a group of American visitors called "Chizuk", on Saturday night, February l9th 1994, the week before the preemptive action. We finished the evening prayer well after dark, and by then the Arabs had begun to enter the Main Hall.
We heard the hundreds of Arab worshippers screaming "Slaughter the Jews"· We saw them trying to push through the large green doors and being held back by a few soldiers. We stood in the open area of the Cave awaiting their imminent charge. We knew that the pot was about to boil over - and so did the Army and so did Yitzhak Rabin.
There is a wheel in the world. Secular history is written by the victors who control the voices of the media. But the G-d of Israel is in ultimate control. Only He will write the final Book, which will most assuredly begin with the words:
"Baruch, Baruch".
