and one of the Israelis provided me with disturbing<br />

information.<br />

A section of this tour's lecture discusses how the 1976<br />

Lebanese Civil War was ignited. After the Yom Kippur War,<br />

Henry Kissinger (CFR) shuttled between Damascus and<br />

Jerusalem to find a way to end hostilities. Syria's Assad<br />

insisted on getting the Golan Heights and Rabin refused him.<br />

So Kissinger came up with a really cute solution to the<br />

impasse. Syria also coveted Lebanon. Things would be<br />

arranged so it would get Lebanon instead. The CIA's<br />

operatives blew up a bus full of Christian children, the war<br />

was on and Syria came in as peacemakers.<br />

I ask the audience, "Do you really believe the Syrians blew<br />

up Rafik Hariri last month? If they really wanted him dead,<br />

they'd have done it quietly, not blow up Beirut's hotel district.<br />

And how did the American government know within minutes<br />

of the blast that Syria was behind it? They're back fomenting<br />

another civil war in Lebanon, which may spread to Syria.<br />

"What worries me more was the terror attack on the Tel Aviv<br />

nightclub a few days later. Within seconds, the Israeli<br />

government blamed Syria. How could it have known that 30<br />

seconds after the attack? I can imagine a meeting where a<br />

compromise was reached. Yes, we'll give you one attack but<br />

not with big casualties. Have him detonate half an hour<br />

before the club opens."<br />

An Israeli talked to me after the lecture. He reported, "My<br />

friend is in the police. He told me that the police were told<br />

that an attack would take place two hours before it did. They<br />

knew it was going to happen."<br />

"So," I asked, "Why wasn't it stopped?"<br />

"I don't know and either does my friend. They didn't even go<br />

into high alert."
