Dig We Must

Dig We Must

2 Cheshvan 5768, 10/14/2007

On Oct. 7, I wrote about a potential "major intervention" that may interfere with the Annapolis Conference. While we have our work to do regardless of our belief in miracles or whatever, it's nice to know that the possibilities exist.

Like the news that Israel is to restart the Mugrahbi Gate digging, seeking archeological evidence.

Already Jordan's ambassador, Ali Ayed (whose country, incidentally is planning a $1.5 million rennovation at the Temple Mount) is seeking clarifications (did Israel ask Jordan why it is sinking such sums?). He suggests that this just might sabotage the conference next month.

Tsk, tsk.

Shall we adopt a new slogan - "DIG WE MUST"?

And see this.

U P D A T E

Oops. I forgot there's an Arab in the cabinet who acts in a suspiciously subversive manner.

He's stopped the dig. See here.

This isn't the intervention I was expecting.
