Beilin's remarks on the war in Lebanon
 
It has been a while since my last letter to you, and much has happened
in our region since. The eruption of two nearly-simultaneous
crises-one in Gaza, the other in the north-has been a painful reminder
that stability and calm can only be temporary in the absence of
agreements, and that agreements are as necessary with Lebanon and
Syria as they are with the Palestinians. Since, moreover, on both its
northern and southern fronts, Israel has opted for unilateral
withdrawals, the two crises thus touch upon a sensitive nerve in the
Israeli political psyche-namely, the sense shared by many Israelis
that we can achieve security single-handedly and in defiance of an
agreement with our neighbors.
This is not to say that Israel was wrong, or had no just basis, to
retaliate. The attacks against Israeli troops on June 25 (on the
Gaza-Israel border) and on July 12 (on the Lebanese-Israeli border)
were an aggressive act of unjustified provocation, and Israel had
every right to retaliate. That said, I have to add that I am highly
uncomfortable with the acts of retaliation that Israel chose to
undertake. My discomfort has to do with my sense that Israel's
military actions are unlikely to achieve Israel's stated objectives-in
Gaza, the release of the abducted solider and the cessation of Qassam
rocket fire on Israeli towns; in Lebanon, the release of the abducted
soldiers and a military and (no less important) political crush of
Hizbollah, if not its outright destruction.
In other words, justification does not amount to wisdom, and is
certainly not a sufficient criterion for responsible policy. Israel
had very right to retaliate, but that does not automatically mean that
it should necessarily have opted to retaliate, or that the way it
opted to retaliate was the only way to do so. Alas, several weeks into
the fighting, the sense of achievement is limited, and the costs that
civilians on all sides have paid are overwhelming.
What is needed right now, and urgently, is a cease-fire. The
parameters for a sustainable cease-fire, on both fronts, are already
more or less known. In Gaza, such a cease-fire would mean the release
of the abducted soldier and the cessation of rocket fire on Israel,
the cessation of Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip
(including targeted killing), the release of the Hamas legislators and
ministers recently arrested by Israel as well as of a certain number
of Palestinian prisoners. As for Lebanon, the U.S. Secretary of State
began to outline a feasible plan, whose basic features would include
the cessation of all hostilities, the release of the abducted Israeli
soldiers, the deployment of an international force in southern Lebanon
and along the border with Israel, and the removal of Hizbollah
militants north, if not their disarmament or integration into the
Lebanese Army.
This is perhaps not the time and place to outline what Israel should
have done differently. The fighting continues, and as a member of the
Israeli parliament and leader of the only leftist Zionist party
outside the government, I must reiterate that I share Israel's goals,
even if I am skeptical about it has chosen to achieve them. To the
Israeli government's goals, however, I would also like to add my own:
a comprehensive political agreement with the Palestinians, and
comprehensive political agreements with both Syria and Lebanon. Until
we achieve these, our accomplishments will be limited in scope and
temporary in nature.
One final note: in the kind of globalized world we live in, the
effects of these recent crises, especially the one in Lebanon, are
felt by people far away from Israel. For that reason, I feel that we
in Israel cannot turn a blind eye to the risks that our actions carry
for Jewish communities worldwide. The tragic incident in Seattle a few
days ago sent shivers to all those who remember (and who can forget?)
the bombing of the AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association)
building in Buenos Aires in July 1994. Such attacks are a powerful
reminder of the shared fate of Jewish people everywhere, and the
awesome responsibility that political leaders carry in dealing even
with seemingly local conflicts.
Yours as always,
Yossi Beilin

comprehensive political agreements with both Syria and Lebanon. Until
E perché improvvisamente dovrebbe essere diventato plausibile riuscire a
negoziare una pace con la Siria?

ciao,
Marco

negoziare una pace con la Siria?
Perchè la Siria è in in vendita al miglior offerente.
E il miglior offerente sono gli USA.
