Israel's Borders

George Friedman makes an argument that, for military reasons alone, Israel has to withdraw to her pre-Six Day War borders.

The one drawback, as he notes, is that Israel then has no geographic depth. She cannot wait for an attack and then counter it. If her neighbors are preparing for war, then Israel has to get in the first punch and quickly win the fight.

His comments on Israel's main logistical weakness is worth mulling over.

  1. Yeah, well doing the "I will fear no evil because I am the meanest mother-fucker in the valley" is a great opener, but 40-50 years later it's a) begun to lose its charm and b) they've come to believe in their own myth, always a dangerous delusion. They'd be better served aggressively seeking peace........
