| The borders of Israel in 1966 were barely defensible against terrorists and hostile armies, but not comfortably so. The reality of weapons technology and insurrections has changed, and there ARE no `defensible borders` for Israel at all. There are quiet borders, with Jordan, Egypt, and even Syria. Those are nations whom have given de jury recognition to Israel, or in the case of Syria, de facto recognition that it cannot defeat Israel in a war. The foreign "threat` to Israel today is largely on the Northern border, where Israel has consistently destabilized every government in an unstable land for a quarter century. The major threat is from those who live within that part of the region which Israel captured during the Six Day War and has held since. The ostensible purpose for the occupation is to provide `defensible borders." The actual result is to maintain a cancer within the body politic of Israel and produce generations of terrorists willing to die to be free. |
