Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel's Left: Ludicrous, loathsome and lethal
2014-08-14
...Adherence to this nefarious notion of trading Jewish land for Arab peace can no longer be excused or condoned by the assumption of well-intentioned naiveté.

In the light of objective experience, continued adherence to it, despite its failures, both flagrant and frequent, can only be explained by assuming motives that are either moronic or malicious, either imbecilic or insidious.

If the land-for-peace two-staters had their way, we would now be in a perilous situation indeed.

If we had complied with their supplication to relinquish the heights of the Golan to Bashar Assad -- a man whom, we were assured, we could do business with because he studied medicine in the West and surfed the Internet -- we would be facing the specter of al-Qaida-affiliates deployed above Lake Kinneret and overlooking Tiberius. Had we relinquished the heights of Judea-Samaria, as the Left beseeched us to do, we could well have been confronted with forces of the Islamic State group perched on the hills overlooking Greater Tel Aviv, with Ben-Gurion Airport within mortar range of their forward positions and hundreds of tunnels being burrowed under the security barrier.

Unlike Gaza, where the border is around 60-km.-long, abutting the relatively sparsely populated South, the border of Judea-Samaria is some 400-500-km.-long and adjacent to the densely populated Coastal Plain with its congested traffic arteries and vital infrastructure installations.

But for the grace of God (or good fortune) this would be the dread situation facing Israel today -- courtesy of the "peace camp" and their perilous, puerile and petulant penchant for "peace in our time."

#2  I still question if Sharon was genius or fool allowing Gaza to self govern.
