"Help! Peace mongers!

16-09-2006

GUESS WHOSE words these are: "Starting this war was a scandal…It was possible to solve the problem of the missiles in South Lebanon by diplomatic means…The offensive of the last two days of the war, in which 33 soldiers were killed after the cease-fire resolution had already been accepted, was a spin of the Prime Minister…The Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense and the Chief-of-Staff must resign…"

Right, it was Gush Shalom.

But that's not new. What is new is that yesterday, the former Chief-of-Staff, Moshe Ya'alon, repeated these statements, almost word for word.

"Bogie" Ya'alon is the very opposite of Gush Shalom. Nobody could say that he belongs to a "marginal group". He comes from the very center of the establishment. He is a Rightist. He was responsible for some of the most cruel acts of the occupation."

snip:"IN THE corridors of power in Jerusalem the cry is going up: "Help! Peace is upon you, Israel!"

"A terrible enemy is conspiring to impose peace on us. He is advancing against us from two sides, in a giant pincer movement.

One arm of this offensive is the Palestinian Unity Government that is about to be set up."

snip:"THE SECOND arm of the peace offensive is the renewal of the Arab Peace Plan.

This plan says, roughly: the entire Arab world will recognize Israel and make peace with it, if it withdraws to the 1967 borders and makes it possible to establish the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital."
