Rav Dov Fischer on The UN Vote

«We Jews created this Authority.  Look how much HKB"H has intervened to stop us from giving up Judea and Samaria.  Rabin tried to give it up — he was murdered (an unspeakably horrible thing that was horribly unforgivable).  Peres stepped in and immediately inherited 95% popularity, so called for early elections, announcing he would negotiate giving up Yesha after he would get a new lopsided Knesset.  So HKB"H hardened the Arab hearts, and they started bus bombings like crazy.  Peres could not stop the bombings, his popularity plummeted, and even terrified liberals voted in Bibi so they could ride on buses again.  Bibi was wildly popular, and then he signed the Wye Accords that compromised Hebron.  HKB"H overnight drive down his popularity, and Ehud Barak was elected.  Barak was wildly popular, and HKB"H allowed him to cede South Lebanon prematurely and unilaterally, but Barak next started negotiating with Arafat in Clinton's house to give over Judea and Samaria, and even East Jerusalem, and even Har HaBayit . . . and HKB"H hardened Arafat's heart, and he miraculously rejected everything for which he had been fighting since he rose to lead the PLO and Fatah in 1964.  A horrible Intifada ensued with horrible images like the Arab with the hands of blood in Ramallah, and Barak was driven out by a landslide for Sharon.  Sharon came in wildly popular, and HKB"H allowed him to cede Gush Katif and Gaza prematurely and unilaterally, but Sharon next started focusing "Kadimah" to cede Judea and Samaria unilaterally.  He first sustained a mini-stroke, perhaps a makah of warning, perhaps yisurim shel ahavah because of his z'khuyot from the 1973 War and before.  Perhaps.  Who among us possibly can know?. He recovered and immediately returned to his prioritized focus on ceding Yesha, and he sustained a wallop of a stroke that removed him from the scene.  Not to kill him, perhaps because of z'khuyot remaining for his past acts for Eretz Yisrael — much as Omri HaMelekh merited kingship because he acquired one hill in Samaria — so the stroke did not kill him, just sidelined him for good.  Maybe it was just bad medical care and excessive blood thinners caused by the best team of physicians in one of the most advanced medical societies.  Maybe it was just bad luck, bad personal health practices.  Who among us can know?  In came Ehud Olmert.  Initially, wildly popular — until he started trying to cede Judea and Samaria.  Then, unexpectedly, the kidnapings started, and he ended up getting prodded into a war in South Lebanon against Hezbollah, even as he proved utterly unlearned in matters of war, even as he also had the least qualified Israeli Defense Minister in the country's history, Amir Peretz, a union leader who temporarily led the Labor Party.  Between Olmert and Peretz, they failed to enter South Lebanon for too long, perhaps born of Peretz's hesitation to cross picket lines, and sustained tons of rocket attacks in the north. When a rocket finally reached Haifa, they were cooked, even as Olmert suddenly came under fire for financial defalcations.  Full cycle back to Bibi.  Under Bibi, who talks the talks but does not walk the walk because he does not understand the meaning of Am S'gulah, we end up with a pseudo-war with Hamas, with Hamas rockets flying into Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, effectively forestalling any future prospect of any Israeli government ceding Judea and Samaria.»
