I’m just amazed how anyone would see the demands for concessions on Israel’s part as anything other than insanity.
Since the ‘Arab spring’ the security situation in Egypt has deteriorated with the result that now terrorists more or less affiliated with Al Qaeda are roaming the Sinai and are threatening Israel from the south.
In addition to that Syria has attracted thousands of violent Jihadis who, while for the moment occupied with fighting Assad, have made no secret that they want to attack Israel when Assad is gone.
Another threat from the north is Hizbollah which accumulated an estimated 100,000 rockets.
Then there is the threat from Gaza and the constant threat from Iran.
In such a situation when Israel can barely manage all these threats you’ve got to be out of your mind to open up new additional security risks.
As is clear the ‘peace’ promoted by John Kerry et al involves Israel taking huge risks.
The Iranian threat is the biggest one of these threats and Israel should flatly refuse to sign any such ‘peace treaty’ while the Irananian threat exists.
While a peace agreement may or may not have positive repercussions for the Middle East, it certainly won’t change Iran’s attitude towards Israel.
On the other hand the elimination of the Iranian threat would have a positive influence on the Middle East and in any case it would reduce the threat from Hizbollah. At the least it would make the threat from Hizbollah more manageable.
For all these reasons the concessions demanded from Israel in the current situation have to be rejected as the definition of insanity.
