Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory by Again Succumbing to American Pressure!

This link to an Israel National News Opinion piece seems soo true.

Israel started snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when, near the end of the Yom Kippur War they encircled the Egyptian Third Army, but succumbed to American and Russian pressure to lift the encirclement. Not to mention Barak’s abandonment of the “Good Fence” and their South Lebanese Christian Army allies in the dead of night, leaving Hezbollah to fill the void in Lebanon. Or Sharon’s expulsion of Jews from Gush Katif against the will of his own Likud party referendum, leaving Hamas to control all of Gaza. These are the Original Sins which led to 7 October! And now, Israel does it again, both regarding Gaza, Lebanon and Iran, by succumbing again to American pressure, and alleged “profanities.” read more
