This opinion piece, received from Barry Chamish in the name of “Yehuda”, reminded me of a similar oddity surrounding Said Nosair, who allegedly killed Rabbi Meir Kahane. Yehuda suggests, in a nutshell, that someone called Dr. Baruch Goldstein to provide medical help in the Mearat a-Machpela, and as he entered the Hall of Isaac (full of Muslims), a Shabak agent-provocateur started shooting at the crowd.
Said Nosair told the jury he was invited to Rabbi Kahane’s meeting by an anonymous person. As the Marriott Hotel was arranged at the last moment, Nosair had no way of preparing the murder; it was unlikely that he would even found out where the meeting was held, as there were no announcements. Nosair sat close to the exit – the fact which allowed him to ran out fast; he would have been unable to run through the crowd had he actually shot Rabbi Kahane near the scene. Nosair fled after realizing that he was framed, especially as he carried illegal gun. The gun used to murder Rabbi Kahane lacked fingerprints; it is impossible that the experienced NY cops so grossly mishandled the evidence as to remove the fingerprints. Rabbi Kahane was assassinated professionally, in the neck, which is way above Nosair’s skills. So I don’t find it implausible that Dr. Goldstein was framed similarly.
By Yehuda, from Barry Chamish
I would like to remind you about my findings in the Ma’ara.
1/ The bullet holes still visible in those days enabled me to trace Dr. Goldstein’s last moments from the minute he entered through the northern side entrance till his death not far from
the main entrance to Ulam Yitschak.
2/ Question 1 is of course why would the man choose to open a closed (or perhaps locked side entrance whereas the main entrance was open. Because of the lone soldier standing there?
Of course not, because why would a sleepy soldier ask questions to a reserve duty officer ! Because this unexpected entrance would enable to kill more and easier ? nonsense.
question 2 is who shot when and where. Most of the bullets but not all exited from Goldstein’s rifle. Who was the other shooter ? Where did he come from and where did he go to?
Question 3 is how come scores of bullets hit the ceiling, walls and floor.
Question 4 is at what time did it all happen, Dr.Watson ?
Let’s start with question 4. Judge Shamgar got two groups of three soldiers. One group said 5.15 and the other 5.45.
Sherlock Holmes would have know who lied and who spoke the truth by checking the morning prayers in the Mosque on a day to day basis. Because we know at what point during the prayer it all started, all we have to know is at what time morning prayer starts on 25 th of February (time is fixed by daybreak and sunrise). We will find that the inaccuracy is up to several minutes, not half an hour.One group of soldier can be dismissed as liars. And Judge Shamgar did a very poor job.
Standard procedure in Zahal is that a person is only allowed to use his weapon in case of immediate personal danger. And even then first he should shoot in the air at an angle of 60 degrees, then if the danger remains, the attacked person should shoot at the lower limbs in order to neutralize the attackers.
Only if nothing else helps, the attacked person must shoot in order to kill.
Dr. Goldstein knew those orders and executed them by the book. After entering the Northern Aisle he detected serious hostility and shot in the ceiling. At least One bullet missed the ceiling and hit one of the main pillars holding the Main Aisle on the opposite side at about 10 meters elevation.
Dr. Goldstein tried to reach the main entrance (in the Main Aisle), but could not because of the people in his way. These were men trying to get on their feet (from kneeling) and flee the place, and others who attacked Dr. Goldstein. So Goldstein started shooting towards the floor and the lower limbs of his attackers. The stone flooring in the area where the Northern Aisle is connected to the Main Aisle showed signs of damage in the form of slivers of stone that disappeared. Finally in his desperation to get out of Ulam Yitschak (alive) Dr. Goldstein shot at his attackers, but those outnumbered him, clubbed him down and murdered him.
Now we know why bullets hit the very high ceilings and the flooring. We also understand the explanations of the Alia Hospital in Hebron in an interview with an Arab Jerusalem paper. The hospital doctor spoke only about injuries in the lower limbs caused by shrapnel or bullets. He did not say that among the dead were several elderly man who had been trampled on by the fleeing. They could not get on their old feet fast
enough. Other elderly man had been killed by bullets fired by Dr.Goldstein aiming at the floor (and not at old man unable to rise). Note only old men died!
And who shot actually ? Gun bullets (Shamgar report) were found in the Ma’ara besides the bullets fired by Dr. Goldstein. Did “settler nr. 2″ described by the Arabs shoot these bullets? Why and where ? And why did the sentry at the main entrance shoot (and kill) the fleeing Imam outside the Ulam Yitschak?
Last question: did Dr. Goldstein carry any luggage? If so what was in there ?
There are several contradictions in the official story telling if, why and where Dr. Goldstein was enlisted that night. No doubt rumours were going around about an imminent attack on the praying Jews and Arabs) in the Ma’ara. Some say the source of these rumours was the Shabaq interested in stirring up troubles, that would enable the forced evacuation of the Jews from Chevron. The Arabs prepared themsleves and placed a cupboard full of metal rods inside the Ma’ara. The Imam was supposed to bang the microphone in case of immediate danger.
Dr. Goldstein was called up that night to be on stand by. A Jeep took him to the Ma’ara. He and another soldier (?) entered from the side (Northern Aisle). Did the doctor carry his medical equipment ? Did they enter just in order to have a look what was going on or because someone reported that they needed a doctor in Ulam Yitschak ? I believe the doctor was called as a professional. That was his creed, to give medical assistance no matter Jew or Arab. He had no reason to enter the Ulam Yitschak but as a doctor.
If the call was false and originated in the Shabaq trying to compromise the Jews in general and this doctor in particular, the Shabaq murdered both Dr. Goldstein and 29 innocent elderly Arabs.
I hope and pray the Shabaq was not involved.
The Imam saw the two armed men, banged his microphone and a group of “guards” took the metal rods and attacked the intruders. “Settler nr 1 in army uniform fired a few shots and fled through the northern entrance bolting the door behind him.
Dr. Goldstein heard the bolting and tried to shoot his way to reach the main entrance, shooting according to the rules (air, floor,in order to kill). He did not make it. The sentry at the main entrance did not come to his aide,and shot the fleeing Imam instead. The other soldiers were nowhere. Three of them can not tell even at what time it all happened. They were absent.
The bullet holes have been plastered, the floor does not show the damage anymore, One day the truth will come out. Yehuda
