RINKE CADILLAC "The Fusion of Design and Technology" ferencing. An estimated 1,500 others worldwi- de viewed the forum on their computers in a simultaneous online presentation. Olmert, speaking from New York City, said he felt "any attempt to reach a comprehensive agreement with the PLO is impossible. "Weakness has been projected by the Israeli people," Olmert said. "The Palestinians perceived that we're :.-ill- ing to sacrifice so much." The mayor was relieved that Arafat rejected former Prime Minister Ehud Barak's offer to divide the sovereignty of Jerusalem because, he said, such division would never have been approved by Israel's population. Conceding Jerusalem would be a . "betrayal to the most fundamental principle that's kept us together as a people," he said, adding that the immediate task is to manage the crisis and reduce the violence. The problem, from Rosenblum's perspective, is that Israelis have lost their sense of self as Jews and have lost their sense of land. "They don't know what they're fighting for," he said. "Israel has the (military) capability, but no morale; the Palestinians have low capability, but high morale." Noting that Jerusalem is not n :n- tioned in any of the Islamic holy books, Rosenblum views Arafat's true goal as "the abasement of the Jewish people." "Arafat sought to sever the funda- mental connection of Jews- to their land," he said. "That is why the issue of Jerusalem is so crucial." Rabbi Gottlieb, speaking from Philadelphia, emphasized the religious connection to Israel. He explained that the goal of the Torah is for Jews to keep the mitzvot in the Land of Israel. Our continuity in the ga/ut (diaspora), he said, is only a preparation for our return to the land divinely promised to our people 3,800 years ago. He noted that Jewish history shows that Jews must be responsible for their own security. He felt that Jews living in Israel must be allowed to make their own decisions regarding the conflict — "with military means, if necessary ." "Our job now," Rabbi Gottlieb said, "is to pray for secuciry and ultimate shalom (peace)." The videoconference, archived in a fully navigable online format, is available through Ohr Somayach.
