P. David Hornik on "Israel's Delusionary Politics"

The blogs are currently focused on the new London bombings and the Roberts confirmation. However, the most important currently-unfolding story, in my opinion, is Israel's planned disengagement from Gaza. If it takes place, G-d forbid, the terrorists will be simply handed a major victory. It would be nice to see some high-profile political writers stating this, but here is some sanity:

. . . Israel is reaping the results of its democratist policy as Palestinian terror erupts both within and outside pre-1967 Israel, taking a renewed toll of dead and maimed among Israeli civilians.

Democratist? This is a mindset found in democracies whereby military matters are interpreted as political, and clear threats are dealt with via appeasement and vague hopes that foes will turn pacific and reasonable. The above words by the head of Israeli military intelligence show that Israel’s highest echelons knew perfectly well that it was squandering the military gains of its stepped-up campaign against the terror masters, allowing mass-murder organizations to rearm, and virtually inviting another onslaught.
