| Official “defensive” policy as recipe for war |
| 2008-04-15 |
| Former OC Central Command and ex-defense ministry Dir.-Gen Ret. Gen. Shraga Biran said Friday, April 11, that IsraelÂ’s security problems will not be solved through defensive operations. In an unusually outspoken diatribe against current government policy by an apolitical military strategist, Biran warned that this defensive posture would lead inexorably to war, while strengthening IsraelÂ’s antagonists, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas. He faulted the West as a whole for closing its eyes to IranÂ’s rising strength and nuclear aspirations. |
