A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
Benny Begin

Benny Begin has an important column in Thursday's Haaretz, in which he explains how as a result of terrorism Israel's positions vis a vis its enemies have consistenty eroded since 1967. As Begin writes:

"The majority of the public agrees with the statements by Israel's defense ministers that the country's citizens are showing excellent resolve in the face of terrorism. That's not true.

"The logic of terrorism is cruel but simple: inducing governments to change their positions by intimidating the citizens. Hence the yardstick by which to measure the efectiveness of terrorism. By that yardstick, there is only one conclusion to be drawn from the Israeli case: The terrorism perpetrated by the Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO) and Hamas against Israel has been a very successful project."
