Unfortunately, this is not the case Oded. On January 5, 1948, the Semiramis
hotel in the middle-class Arab district of Katamon in Jerusalem was blown up
with 175 pounds of dynamite. 23 people were killed, all civilians, including
the Spanish Consul. *Haganah claimed responsibility* for the explosion.
  
The act achieved nothing in terms of the Arab-Israeli struggle ... except
perhaps to send Jerusalem Arabs a message to leave Palestine.
  
Didn't you know this Mr. Feingold? I mentioned this in an earlier article
also and you had nothing to say then. Maybe you don't know everything 
about the history of Israel either.
