| "The army must conduct the war against terror as it does any war." (Israel Harel) Hogwash. No army can conduct a war against terror as it "does any war". And the reason is very simple, but those who, like I.Harel, are untirringly calling for the perpetuation of the settlement policy, and the occupation that goes with it, are unable to admit it. "Israel has difficulty deciding on a military response, because it lacks one single address on which to focus that response; an entity capable of making decisions and executing them." in "Unreasonable proposal", Haaretz editorial, 24/05/2007 Like Sharon was, the last thing Olmert is interested in is a strong Abbas, enjoying a strong popular support, "capable of making decisions and executing them", who could strongly oppose the Israeli policy-makers to annex as big a chunk as possible of the West Bank, to the Israeli territory. This is the real problem, not the IDF allowing "the enemy to drag out the war infinitely, i.e. until it wears us down." "Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel." (Samuel Johnson) "... Those who dragged Israel into creating the huge, foolish enterprise over the Green Line, those who sowed settlements amid the Palestinian population, on occupied territory, only to thwart any future diplomatic agreement on a division into two states, will apparently not let Israel fix this historic mistake." "The settlers are not resting", Haaretz editorial, 04/10/2006. |
