Rothschild-Funded Cultural Warfare Pits Israelis vs. Palestinians

February 29, 2010 (LPAC)—At a special meeting of the Israeli Cabinet last Sunday (Feb. 21) at Hi Tal. the minutes show that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the occasion to announce a special Heritage Project, and he asked the Cabinet members to thank the Rothschild Foundation of Israel for putting up the seed money. Netanyahu went on to announce that his government would put up NIS400 shekels for a Israeli Heritage Prject, where Israeli tourists could follow two roads to 150 refurbished Jewish and Zionist historic sites, thus shaping the idea that Israel was a state for the Jewish people. Among the sites Netanyahu mentioned were Zionist leader Joseph Trumpledor's home, and the building on Rothschild Boulevard, where the existence of the state of Israel was first announed by David Ben-Gurion.

No sooner had the Heritage Project been announced than the settlers' movement asked Netanyahu, who readily acquiesced, to include Hebron's Tomb of the Patriarchs and Rachel's Tomb in the Heritage Project. The only problem is that these two sites are on the West Bank territory under semi-autonomous control of the Palestinian Authority. On Feb. 24, the Israeli press banner headlines calls for an renewed Intifada from unknown Palestinians facing the prospect of right-wing Zionists descending on the West Bank sites, just as Gen. Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem triggered the second Intifada in September 2000.

At this time it is not known whether P.N.A. President Abu Abbas (Abu Mazen) wants an Intifada, because there is nothing Netanyahu would like more to take the international pressure off concessions for the start of serious negotiations for a two-state solution.
