Oh great. Another twoofer, conspiracy theory whackjob.georgephillip, et al,
George, I think you have found a kindred spirit in Oded Yinon.
(COMMENT)"Oded Yinon was a participant or observer in the following events:
February 1982: Article in Israeli Journal Says Israel Should Exploit Internal Tensions of Arab States
"The winter issue of Kivunim, a 'A Journal for Judaism and Zionism,' publishes 'A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties' by Oded Yinon.
"The paper, published in Hebrew, rejects the idea that Israel should carry through with the Camp David accords and seek peace.
"Instead, Yinon suggests that the Arab States should be destroyed from within by exploiting their internal religious and ethnic tensions..."

Give peace a chance for a change.
In every regime, in any country of influence, political and economic importance, or military power, you will find you will find a representative sample of personalities all over the political spectrum. In the 1980's, as well as today, this spectrum has both hawks and doves at the second deviation points --- outside the normative center. Oded Yinon is one of those hawks to the far right. Notice that, his essay (as short as it is) has more than 20 footnotes in the essay: "A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties." from which you quote. There is hardly a paragraph of original thought.
This is by no means an essay on an official plan. For instance:
The passage you bolded, supra, "The paper, published in Hebrew, rejects the idea that Israel should carry through with the Camp David accords and seek peace." This comes from paragraph 18, which says:
Paragraph 18 said:(Regaining) the Sinai peninsula with its present and potential resources is therefore a political priority which is obstructed by the Camp David and the peace agreements. The fault for that lies of course with the present Israeli government and the governments which paved the road to the policy of territorial compromise, the Alignment governments since 1967. The Egyptians will not need to keep the peace treaty after the return of the Sinai, and they will do all they can to return to the fold of the Arab world and to the USSR in order to gain support and military assistance. American aid is guaranteed only for a short while, for the terms of the peace and the weakening of the U.S. both at home and abroad will bring about a reduction in aid. Without oil and the income from it, with the present enormous expenditure, we will not be able to get through 1982 under the present conditions and we will have to act in order to return the situation to the status quo which existed in Sinai prior to Sadat's visit and the mistaken peace agreement signed with him in March 1979.
SOURCE: The Essay by Oded Yinon
Oded Yinon published the essay in 1982. Obviously, conditions change. So far, the Egyptian-Israeli Treaty has held for more than three decades. And with the exploitation of the Levant Basin gas and oil finds, the "mistaken peace agreement signed with him in March 1979," has a new lease on life.
The mistake you made is not uncommon. The rationale and analysis used by the Bush Administration to declare Iraq as a WMD threat to regional peace was also flawed on dated material. The Yinon essay has little connection to today's reality. It doesn't take a Los Vegas Bookie to make odds on a disturbance in the future for the Middle East or Persian Gulf (or both). Much like the Nostradamus Quatrains, you can read a lot in what Yinon said, yet be totally off the mark.
In some fairness. Oded Yinon did make a couple of exceptionally good points, but they had little to do with the Gaza Strip or West Bank.
Most Respectfully,
