'American Intifada: How the Left Learned to Hate Israel and Love Hamas,' by Uri Kaufman

Uri Kaufman : Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu took office on June 18, 1996 , and immediately set out to do the job the Israeli public elected him to do.

He was tested almost immediately when he unsealed the door to a tunnel that ran along the outer rim of Jerusalem ’s Temple Mount .

Kaufman : Under Netanyahu , the cart and the horse were put back into their rightful places. First , Israel had to get security, and then he would implement the two -state solution, he says.

Israel ’s intelligence service issued a classified report in late 1999 predicting that Arafat would go to war because Jerusalem would be blamed for it one way or the other.
