Avishai doesn`t seem to know much about history. His comparison of Obama with Eisenhower, saying they are in the same situation to force Israel to make concessions is bizarre. Ike had been the Supreme Command in World War II. He not only had military experience but he was forced to be a diplomat in order to keep FDR, De Gaulle, Churchill and Stalin happy. OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN EITHER REALM. In addition, Eisenhower admitted it was a mistake to force Israel out of the Sinai in 1957 without insisting on Egypt agreeing to peace, because the unilateral move only led to a much bigger war 10 years later. Avishai`s wants to replace Israel, the Jewish state with a soulless, consumerist, materialist "Hebrew Republic" that removes any Jewish identity. This is nothing more than a recreation of a colonialist Rhodesia, this time on the Mediterranean, and it would end up the same way. |
