The Carmel disaster triggered an endless blame game. Rav Ovadia Yosef blamed Chillul Shabbat. The media blamed Yishai and Netanyahu. Yishai blamed Ariel Sharon. Others blamed Dan Chalutz. Chalutz blames the current government. Kadima wants Netanyahu to resign.
How could the burned bus not remind one of the scores of burned busses of the second "Intifada?" Unbelievably, the blame game was never really pursued regarding the uncountable horrors commanded by Arafat et al. Land for peace was too holy - an untouchable faith. And so it came to be that until this very day the priests of land-for-peace are the Gedolei HaDor, holding key positions in the State of Israel. Shimon Peres sits on high on the secular side, and you know who sits high on the religious side. How did we let this happen? And how is Ehud Barak, the igniter of Arafat and the enabler of Hezbolla, our minister of Defense? How is this man speaking his blatantly foolish mind on behalf of the Jewish State as if he were the minister of Foreign Affairs? Could there be a better cause for heavenly fire than such brazen national refusal to mend our ways?
Kahane was right.
