JERUSALEM (AP) —Asserting control over sites
holy to Jews and Muslims, Israel broke through the
last stretch of an archaeological tunnel near the A1
Aqsa Mosque compound on Tuesday, a move that
prompted angry Palestinians to throw stones at
police and Jewish worshippers.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat denounced the
tunnel work, carried out just after midnight under
heavy police guard, as a “crime against our religious
and holy places.” The A1 Aqsa Mosque is Islam’s third
holiest site.
Palestinians threw stones at Israeli police from the
mosque compound, known in Arabic as Haram as-
Sharif, or “noble enclosure.” Jews saying prayers at
the Western Wall below were briefly ordered by police
to step back when stones started flying.
Arafat convened his Cabinet Tuesday evening, and
later the Palestinian Authority called for strikes in
Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, and protests in
Palestinian territories in the afternoon.
Israel claimed the narrow pedestrian tunnel would
be a boon to tourism because it links the Western
Wall, Judaism’s holiest site, to the Via Dolorosa, where
Jesus was said to have walked before his crucifixion.
But the 12-year-old project was completed only
on the personal orders of Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, who intended to send a
message to the Palestinians that Israel is the only
sovereign in Jerusalem.
While Israel maintains police control over the
sites, it allows Islamic authorities full religious ad
ministration over the mosques.
“The government says, ‘Hey guys, we are not play
ing games here,”’ said Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert.
“We will not agree that everything that happens
in Jerusalem will be subject to negotiations.”
Haram as-Sharif is referred to by Jews as Temple
Mount, site of the Jewish Temple destroyed by the
Romans in 70 A.D.
The mount houses the A1 Aqsa and Dome of
the Rock mosques. The Western Wall, the last re
mains of the Temple and Judaism’s holiest site,
runs along one side of the compound.
The Palestinians want to establish a future capital
in east Jerusalem, the sector Israel captured from
Jordan in the 1907 Mideast War. The Muslim shrines
are in east Jerusalem.
Netanyahu has said he would never relinquish sov
ereignty over all of the city, and that its future was not
negotiable — despite a promise by Israel’s previous gov
ernment to the Palestinians that the status of Jerusalem
would be discussed in peace talks.
The tunnel starts to the left of the Western Wall plaza,
the first 200 yards consisting of medieval and Roman
halls on various levels.
That is followed by a 300-yard-long, five-foot wide
tunnel built by the Hasmoneans about 2,200 years ago
to channel water to the Temple Mount. At the end of the
water tunnel, a few steps lead up to the Via Dolorosa.
Olmert said Israel’s previous government and
the Muslim clerics at Haram as-Sharif had
reached a tacit understanding earlier this year
that the Muslims would not oppose the tunnel
opening if they, in turn, would be able to con
struct a new prayer area at Solomon's Stables in
side the compound.
In an apparent attempt to soothe Palestinian tem
pers, Olmert said Tuesday that the new construction
did not violate zoning regulations. This was a change
from the city’s position earlier this month, when it said
the construction at Solomon’s Stables was being done
without a permit and must stop.

HEBRON, West Bank (AP) —
Palestinians protesting Israel’s over
due troop withdrawal from Hebron
clashed today with soldiers, who
beat demonstrators with rifle butts.
Four protesters were hospitalized,
officials said.
Hebron Mayor Mustafa Natche
and Palestinian Cabinet Minister
Hanan Ashrawi were shoved vio
lently by soldiers on their way to the
demonstration, Natche said.
“The mentality of the occupa
tion is coming back, like there is no
peace process,” Natche said.
The struggle broke out after sev
eral hundred Palestinians gathered
in front of the city’s central market
place for a march, chanting “No to
Setdements! No to Occupation! He
bron is our city.”
Soldiers ordered the marchers to
disperse, and when they did not,
the soldiers began shoving them.
The Palestinians responded by
throwing vegetables. Soldiers then
began hitting the protesters with
their hands and rifle butts.
“There will be an explosion, and
it is going to lead to a new inte-
fadah,” said merchant Eid Ajouni,
using the Arabic word for the Pales
tinian uprising of 1987-1993.
Several dozen of the 450 Jewish
settlers who live in Hebron amid
the city’s 94,000 J’alestinians came
out to cheer the soldiers on, waving
Israeli flags and shouting “This is Is
raeli land!” Some threw vegetables
back at the Palestinians.
Israel was scheduled to pull out
of most of Hebron in March, but the
withdrawal was postponed after a
series of suicide bombings inside
Israel by Islamic militants.

Valdez said the experience
made her realize people need to
actively participate in organiza
tions like MAPA.
“I decided it was the very last
time I was going to sit there and let
somebody treat me like nothing,”
Valdez said. “Everything I had ac
complished, the Ph.D and all,
meant nothing.”
Theresa Vargas, a junior market
ing major and president of the His
panic Business Student Associa
tion, helped bring Navarro and
Valdez to Texas A&M.
“It was a good opportunity to in
form the local Hispanic area that by
organization and cooperation you
could form a political organization
like MAPA,” Navarro said. “It just
takes time and dedication.”
Armando Chavez, a junior fi
nance major, said the speakers
highlighted ideas that needed to be
discussed.
“They (the speakers) were very
good,” he said. “They brought forth
a lot of interesting ideas that we
should put into work. They (the
ideas) don’t mean anything unless
we put them to work.”
The speakers were followed by a
presentation of different dances by
the Ballet Folkloricos Celestial.
