The mendacity and hypocrisy of the cruel, grasping Charedi media\political class scream to the heavens.

Here’s one example by Mordechai Plaut in Yated Ne’eman (I believe it’s translated from the Hebrew Yated, not copied from the English Yated). Does the writer, Jerusalem-branch Degel Hatorah party leader Eliezer Rauchberger, have no shame?!

Text:

They Told Us So

by E. Rauchberger

Seven or eight years ago, during the Rabin government, the Oslo Accords were born. The Likud, then the opposition party, was firmly opposed to the accords both in the Knesset and in mass demonstrations and protest activities across the country. The Right was up in arms against the proceedings with the Palestinians, but to no avail. The accords were signed and dispatched, and the ball was set in motion.

Two Likud MKs made particularly acrimonious remarks in almost every address they made to the Knesset and its committees: Uzi Landau, now Security Minister and Interior Minister, and then Knesset member Benny Begin.

In their addresses Landau and Begin issued numerous warnings, and their exact words are of course documented in the Knesset protocols, against the eventuality of Katyusha rockets, bombs and mortar shells being fired by Palestinians at Ashkelon and other settlements inside Israeli territory.

Chaim Ramon was the minister who acted as a liaison between the government and the Knesset and he was the one who was usually sent by the government to present its response to motions regarding policy issues or no-confidence motions concerning the Oslo Accords. Ramon would scoff at Landau and Begin’s repeated warnings against the danger of shooting at Israeli cities and settlements from Palestinian territory, completely dismissing the possibility.

Furthermore, over a year after the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, which was carried out to justify the Oslo Accords, Ramon mentioned Landau and Begin’s dark warnings and repeated threats against the possibility of shooting from PA- held territory into Israeli territory, and pointed out that in fact nothing had transpired. The accords had been implemented without incident and peace, it seemed, prevailed.

Now, seven or eight years later, perhaps longer than Landau and Begin imagined, these predictions and warnings have come all too true. Ramon snickered and sneered, but the reality has now slapped him in the face. Mortar shells have been fired at Sderot and, according to all the signs, firing could continue. Begin and Landau can now tell anyone who is willing to listen, “We hate to say it, but we told you so.”

Here is a screenshot:

But they and theirs supported Oslo in its many components; they and theirs supported the Expulsion (“Disengagement“). I will never forget the many jeering articles in the party papers pre-Expulsion wherein the views of so-called “security experts” were repeated as fact, and cruel, self-serving, shortsighted “Daas Torah” proclaimed, devoid of actual Torah.

They sold their Jewish brothers for M-O-N-E-Y. And they have no problem gaslighting us as though none of this happened on their watch, with their votes for the State budget and the Expulsion “compensation” law, as though they had no part in the war crimes, in the Mesirah, in worsening the Arab war against the Jews! (Not to mention subsequent history with Aza.)

Soon, the predictable effects of the current “hostage deal/s” will stream in, and once again the party mouthpieces will quote those Jews who gave advance warning, as though the writers themselves are from Tibet.

As though the editors and politicians didn’t enable that, as well…
