Rabbi Moshe Levinger responds to Haim Ramon

Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert's good friend, sexual predator Haim Ramon, wants to divide Jerusalem with the 'Palestinians.' This has even upset some people in Olmert and Ramon's Kadima Achora party. Here's how Ramon defended his 'plan' at an Achora party meeting last week:

"Is Israeli sovereignty over the Shuafat refugee camp an asset for Israel?" Ramon asked. "We didn't pray toward Shuafat for our return to Kafr Akab. Isn't it better to say 'no' to Jabal Mukaber and Aram in return for the Palestinians recognizing the Israeli hold over Jerusalem, including the [Jewish] neighborhoods over the Green Line like Neveh Ya'acov?"

Today, Rabbi Moshe Levinger of Kiryat Arba responded to Ramon.

He had harsh words for both Olmert and Vice Premier Haim Ramon. Their intention to take parts of historic Israel and to rename them "Palestine," Levinger said, was one of the "most terrible acts" in Jewish history.

"I want to ask Haim Ramon, 'What have we dreamed of more, Tel Aviv or Hebron?" Levinger said.

I'd trade Sheikh Munis for Hebron in a New York minute.
