I replied that I would not partake in such a spectacle. I might<br />

come if the students forcibly barred the Minister or any<br />

government official from entering the property. Hadn't he<br />

learned anything from Gush Katif? The government of Israel<br />

couldn't care less about him and could care even less how<br />

many students he can pack into a room. Mount Zion was a<br />

litmus test of how much opposition the government and its<br />

corrupted army could expect when all of the Old City was<br />

turned over to the Vatican.<br />

He said I must talk to the headmaster of the Yeshiva, Rabbi<br />

Goldstein.<br />

An hour later, I was honored by a call from Rabbi Goldstein.<br />

Soon, however, I was in despair. As far as he knew, the<br />

Vatican wanted to turn his school into a money making<br />

tourist site and the Ministry of Tourism was being enticed by<br />

the prospects of millions of Catholic tourists visiting Israel to<br />

see the Last Supper room.<br />

I did my best to wake the Rabbi. I told him that tourism was<br />

the facade, not the issue. I tried to explain the global forces<br />

using their muscle to get the Jews out of Jerusalem's holy<br />

sites. I noted that the government of Israel was the worst<br />

enemy of Judaism and that he must block the entrance of<br />

their representative with whatever force he could muster.<br />

However, as with the Rabbis of Gush Katif, my words were<br />

wasted. Mount Zion will give up without a real fight. You<br />

watch.<br />

Nonetheless, the truth marches on. A brilliant Jerusalembased<br />

German-born historian, Dr. Asher Edar, also honored<br />

me with a conversation. Vive le difference:<br />

BC - Why is the Vatican suddenly so interested in getting its<br />

hands on Mount Zion real estate?
