"This opinion of mine is anchored in security considerations - which I learned from Yitzhak Rabin, who said numerous times that no chief of staff in the future should have to defend the state of Israel in those lines (i.e. the Green Line), from which he had to fight in the Six Day War."
This reasoning is anything but conclusive. First, land and air warfare have changed dramatically since last century`s sixties. Second - and more important - before the Six Day War Israels arab neighbours could deploy their forces next to Israel`s borders. Any final agreement with the PA (and Syria as well) would include provisions about demilitarization just as in the peace treaty with Egypt.
I cannot regard your argumnet other than as a pretence for territorial expansion. |
