Freepers, since my last post from a set of traitors denoucing defensive barriers in both the US SW and Israel seems to have been deemed infra dig in the best Republican style perhaps this sober assessment from one of the foremost military commentators of our time will be more acceptable.

While I personally do not agree with the "withraw behind a defensive barrier to pretty much the pre-1967 frontiers" as a panacea for the Israelis Van Creveld makes a clear and well stated arguement for this option. My guess would be that it would only lead to clamor for Israel to retreat to the UN proposed 1947 borders. This drumbeat would be accompanied by determined terrorist attempts to penetrate the frontier defenses just as the Arabs relentlessly did from 1948 to 1956. However,the Israelis are in the cleft of a delemma. They are beset by a foe using a new wrinkle in the classic guerrilla strategy that the IRA pioneered over 80 years ago of striking the vulnerable with the guerilla having no strategic center of gravity to be struck in return. The Arabomurderers apppear to have an endless supply of homicide bombers to send out and Israel has yet to find a strategem to defeat this process.

This jerkwad will be a cheerleader for the evacuation of Judea and Samaria, which Olmert advocates.

The Israeli's forced their own settlers out of their homes at bayonet point for this blasted "land for peace" abomination. Gush Katif..Amona..Hebron..And this son of the devil believes more of that is needed.

Hitler took Czechoslovakia without firing a shot. He got all the heavily defended areas handed to him by Chamberlain at Munich. This is what this human serpent is advocating.

> Israeli defence forces will inevitably lose to the Palestinians

Wishful thinking...

There is nothing inevitable. If seperation is necessary, expell the Arabs.

The problem is that lack of will.

The very first answer, the man is a nut case.

As Lee van Cleef once said in a spaghetti western,"if you are going to shoot, shoot, don't talk about it.
If the Israelis had bombed and killed 500,000 in Lebanon in the first 2 days of this scuffle it would now be forgotten about, and the Muslims of the world would be hiding under the bed.
