DAYAN IN 1976: ISRAEL TOOK GOLAN OUT OF GREED
Thirty years after Israel conquered the Golan Heights from Syria, in what Israelis have said was an entirely defensive operation, the defense minister at the time, Moshe Dayan, has been quoted as sā¦www.sun-sentinel.com
If You're Afraid to Rock the Boat, It Will Sink
After being betrayed by Eisenhower in the 1956 war, Dayan was afraid of what the American rulers would think about "overreaching" into the Golan Heights. He knew that LBJ was so angry at the Jews for such a lopsided victory that he had ordered the American Navy to send intelligence about Israeli troop movements to Syria from the USS Liberty. The emotional and resentful LBJ was also jealous and humiliated because his own war in Vietnam was going nowhere.
I read about the Six-Day War while I was in Vietnam. The Jews had done exactly what we had been told we would do in Vietnam: a quick and overwhelming victory. It was obvious by then that what was supposed to be a cakewalk was a barrel of crumbs. With a lot of showy frosting.
I think this author ā a well known & experienced Israeli āpro-peaceā journalist ā is too hopeful that there will be any substantial changes in āthe Netanyahu Doctrineā or move back toward a ātwo-stateā solution for Israel / Palestine. But he does explain why Netanyahu and the hard Zionist right has over a long period accepted and actually encouraged Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip:
Did [Netanyahuās] plan to preserve Hamas in Gaza as a tool for keeping the strip separate from the West Bank and the Palestinian Authority weak finally backfire?
This murderous and inhumane attack by Hamas arrived just as it seemed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was about to complete his masterpiece: peace with the Arab world while completely ignoring the Palestinians. This attack has reminded Israelis and the world, for better or for worse, that the Palestinians are still here, and that the century-old conflict here involves them, not the Emiratis or the Saudisā¦.
Since he was first elected prime minister in 1996, Netanyahu has tried to avoid any negotiations with the Palestinian leadership, instead choosing to bypass it and push it aside. Israel does not need peace with the Palestinians to prosper, Netanyahu repeatedly claimed; its military, economic, and political strength is sufficient without it. The fact that during the years of his rule, especially between 2009 and 2019, Israel experienced economic prosperity and its international status improved, was, in his eyes, proof that he is following the right path.
The Abraham Accords signed with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, and later also Sudan and Morocco, reinforced this belief conclusively. āFor the past 25 years, we have been told repeatedly that peace with other Arab countries will only come after we resolve the conflict with the Palestinians,ā Netanyahu wrote in an article in Haaretz before the last election. āContrary to the prevailing position,ā he continued, āI believe that the road to peace does not go through Ramallah, but bypasses it: instead of the Palestinian tail wagging the Arab world, I argued that peace should begin with Arab countries, which would isolate Palestinian obstinacy.ā A peace agreement with Saudi Arabia was supposed to be the icing on the āpeace for peaceā cake that Netanyahu has spent years preparing.
Netanyahu did not invent the policy of separation between Gaza and the West Bank, nor the use of Hamas as a tool to weaken the Palestine Liberation Organization and its national ambitions to establish a Palestinian state. Then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharonās 2005 ādisengagementā plan from Gaza was built on this logic. āThis whole package called the Palestinian state has fallen off the agenda for an indefinite period of time,ā said Dov Weissglas, Sharonās advisor, explaining the political goal of disengagement at the time. āThe plan provides the amount of formaldehyde required so that there will be no political process with the Palestinians.ā
Netanyahu not only adopted this way of thinking, he also added to it the preservation of Hamas rule in Gaza as a tool for strengthening the separation between the strip and the West Bank. In 2018, for example, he agreed that Qatar would transfer millions of dollars a year to finance the Hamas government in Gaza, embodying the comments made in 2015 by Bezalel Smotrich (then a marginal Knesset member, and today the finance minister and de facto West Bank overlord) that āthe Palestinian Authority is a burden and Hamas is an asset.ā
āNetanyahu wants Hamas on its feet and is ready to pay an almost unimaginable price for it: half the country paralyzed, children and parents traumatized, houses bombed, people killed,ā Israelās current information minister, Galit Distel Atbaryan, wrote in May 2019, when she was yet to enter politics but was known as a prominent Netanyahu supporterā¦.
āThe question is, why?ā Distel Atbaryan continued, before explaining: āIf Hamas collapses, Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] may control the strip. If he controls it, there will be voices from the left that will encourage negotiations and a political solution and a Palestinian state, also in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] ⦠This is the real reason why Netanyahu does not eliminate the Hamas leader, everything else is bullshit.ā
Indeed, Netanyahu himself had effectively admitted as much a couple of months before Distel Atbaryan made her comments, when he declared in a Likud meeting that āanyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state needs to support strengthening Hamas. This is part of our strategy, to isolate Palestinians in Gaza from Palestinians in Judea and Samaria.ā ā¦

Efforts by Zionist militias to recruit Nazi Germany in the fight against the British Mandate authorities in Palestine have been revealed in newly-released transcripts in the Israel State Archive.
The documents, which were released to the public last month, include information on what Haaretz has called the ādark chapterā of Zionist militiasā ties with Nazi Germany. Reporting on the revelations, the Israeli newspaper uncovered shocking details which not only debunk the Zionist propaganda that Palestinians had cooperated with Nazi Germany, but also confirm that some of the founders of Israel believed that it was essential for Zionists to do so.
Snip
Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, with senior officers of the Third Reich has been a stock-in-trade of Israelās propaganda dehumanising of Palestinians and their cause.
Itās one of the countless bad-faith uses of history that is routine in the demonisation of Palestinians and intended to cast doubt on the motives behind their resistance to Israelās illegal occupation. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been guilty of this more than most; in a remarkable re-writing of history the Likud leader said that it was Al-Husseini who suggested the genocide of the Jews to Adolf Hitler.
āHitler didnāt want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin Al-Husseini went to Hitler and said: āIf you expel them, theyāll all come here [to Palestine]ā,ā Netanyahu told the World Zionist Congress in 2015.
According to Netanyahuās version of history, Hitler then asked: āWhat should I do with them?ā and the mufti replied: āBurn them.ā In the storm sparked by the comments, Netanyahu was denounced as having absolved Hitler of the crime of murdering six million Jews.
