Why The International Forces Coming to Lebanon Are Needed in Gaza and Elsewhere
Also from The Times (Select):
Line of FireI'm in almost full agreement with this author's point about that the international forces being used in Lebanon would be a wise addition in other areas where Israel strong arms.
Daoud Kuttab argues that the international military presence in Lebanon makes clear the need for the same strategy in the West Bank and Gaza.
We MUST get Israel out of the policing of Palestinians and other Arab-Muslim neighbors for a number of reasons, including:
a) Israel seems to be moving more and more strongly toward a policy of getting non-Jews out of the Middle East
b) More protection for non-Jews is desperately needed
c) Removing Israel as top dog cop should both reduce Israel as a target and to reduce their ability to hurt others which will hopefully quell some of the violence
d) The U.S. and Israel truly have an unholy alliance going
