Sharon Promises Continued Jewish Presence in Hebron
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Sharon came out with an impassioned defense of continued Jewish presence in Hebron at Sunday's cabinet meeting, saying there will always be a Jewish presence in the city. "Can anyone imagine that there will not be Jews living in Hebron?" Sharon asked. Sharon recalled how when he was foreign minister in 1999, he met the pope who told him that Israel is holy to Christians, Moslems, and Jews, but was promised only to the Jews. Sharon asked what other nation in the world has a national monument like the Machpela Cave, where the nation's forefathers are buried. "In a normal country, all foreign visitors and all schoolchildren would be brought to this site," Sharon said.
