Israel’s Security Dependence on Nations: Lessons Never Learned

.
Commentary;

This author finds the logic of government officials and that of many Israelis incredible in it’s abject and profane absurdity.

That officials such as Pensioners’ Affairs Minister Rafi Eitan, the former intelligence official who rolled over on Janathan Pollard (one of the main reasons why Pollard remains incarcerated), can consider rolling back time to the days of UN Mandates which are breakable by the Arabs is insane and absurd.

If one has selective amnesia concerning the broken UN Emergency force mandate which was put in place as a result of Sinai campaign, one surely ought to be able to intellectualize the realization of the flawed Lebanon peacekeeping mission under whose noses Hezbollah has amassed 30,000 rockets and scream bloody murder at a regime which defines victory in a way which is not victory and who sets goals of “winning,” be it in Lebanon or in Gaza, as the one-sided placement of multi-national forces.

‘Egypt, Jordan May Control Palestinians’ (Jerusalem Post)

Full Text;

Egypt and Jordan may have to temporarily take control of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank due to the Palestinian leadership’s inability to curb terror activity in its territories, Pensioners’ Affairs Minister Rafi Eitan, a member of the security cabinet, said on Tuesday.

“The Palestinians don’t have the internal ability to overpower the terrorist bodies within them. More and more the Palestinians are losing their ability and entitlement to [establish] an independent Palestinian state,” Eitan told Army Radio.

Eitan’s statements come at a time when Egypt and Jordan are becoming more involved in providing the needs of the Palestinian population.

Egypt is reportedly considering supplying all the besieged Gaza Strip’s electricity needs. Meanwhile, the West Bank town of Jericho was recently connected to the Jordanian electric grid, for the first time since the Six-Day War.

Egypt has also found it difficult to maintain the integrity of its border with Gaza, with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians crossing unchecked between the two territories over a period of 12 days in January and February.
