Are you aware Avnery and Sharon shared common solutions to some of Israel's biggest concerns, and , for many years, trusted one another sufficiently to sit down and talk about them?I stopped reading at "Uri Avnery".
"At the same time, nine months before the Lebanon War, he (Sharon) disclosed to me (Avnery) his Grand Plan for a new Middle East of his making.
"He allowed me to publish it, provided I did not mention him as the source.
"He trusted me.
"Basically it was the same as the one he wanted to propose to Arafat.
"The army would invade Lebanon and drive the Palestinians from there to Syria, from whence the Syrians would drive them into Jordan. There the Palestinians would overthrow the king and establish the State of Palestine. The army would also drive the Syrians out of Lebanon.
"In Lebanon Sharon would choose a Christian officer and install him as dictator.
"Lebanon would make official peace with Israel and in effect become a vassal state.
"I duly published all this, and nine months later Sharon invaded Lebanon, after lying to Begin and the Cabinet about his aims.
"But the war was a catastrophe, both militarily and politically."
A twisted mind | Arab News ? Saudi Arabia News, Middle East News, Opinion, Economy and more.
I am aware.
I'm also aware of the fact that Mr. Avnery cannot distinguish friend from foe, which is his main problem.
Even the most naive of lestist believe he long ago lost it.
