Ya'alon's Inconsistencies

At first glance, former chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Moshe Ya'alon seems to understand the dangers of Israel's policies:

Ya'alon: Land for peace concept failed

But then, as I read the article, I saw that he really doesn't. He hasn't a clue, but that's no surprise.

First of all, remember that he spent his first retirement year as "Distinguished Military Fellow" at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. He was also Ramat Kal, Chief of Staff, after Ehud Barak's withdrawal from Lebanon, and we know how badly the army dealt with that dangerous campaign pledge. I consider him responsible for the results.

So what's under the headlines of his admitting that "land for peace" is a failure?

At the same time, he said Israel should give the Fatah-run PA in the West Bank a chance to establish autonomous rule

Isn't that basically the same? I think so, and it's consistent with the US aim of a G-d forbid Pseudistinian State. He does add the "condition" that Israel should be responsible for "security," but we all know that the Arabs won't accept that condition. It has been offered before and was the Pandora's Box which brought us to the horrendous situation we are in now.

Ya'alon's mixing of good and bad makes him as dangerous as all of the other politicians. He is no improvement, just a new model of the same.
