The unfinished Six Day War: An open letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 15/6/2017

Fifty years have passed, and as the longest serving prime minister, you have not yet articulated any vision about Israel's future and the fate of the Palestinians.

Got to hand to you Alon, for persistence! Although you might get a better more productive response, by addressing all your future comments to the wailing wall!?

All that presents in prospect of actually ensuring change or Israeli politicians who listen to anybody else or the rest of the world. is a ramped up and then ramped again and again, commercial boycott!

And the only peaceful shot in the locker!

What would another bloodbath do to The PM's reelection chances?

Probably ensure it! And that is why your, exercise in futility, commentary should be addressed to the wailing wall, if only to indicate, your prospects of being listened to by the aforementioned, being actually addressed!

Yes, the "six day war" is still ongoing and the general gist of the article is correct.

But there are certain mistakes in the article:

«and as the longest serving prime minister»

No, Israel's longest serving prime-minister was Ben Gurion.

«no prime minister of Israel has done more damage to the country's future security and wellbeing than you have.»

Rather, it was Israel's Labor party which started the "six day war" and it was them who had 10 years to withdraw, but didn't; and it was them who allowed the Jewish settlements to start. It was therefore them who did the most damage to Israel. Also former Israeli PM, Yitzhak Shamir of Netanyahu's own party, has done even more to actively damage the peace process than Netanyahu who is mostly passive.

Netanyahu has no ideology, he does not really care what will happen to Israel, he cares for just one thing: to remain the prime-minister because his wife's financial troubles dictate that he continues to receive a prime-ministerial salary.

4Arab states attacked Israel. They started it.

Israel beat them in 6days. Israel requires national army service be undertaken
by all Jews, men and women. They had learnt the lesson of being passive
and non militarised in Germany.

The Arab states lost the war. In the last hostilities between them the Palestinians
had dug 15tunnels trying to get into Israel.

Their terrorist attacks on Israel must go back 30 or 40years.
Israel had to build a wall to keep them out, after they did things, like blow up a school
bus full of school children, that was probably 30years ago.
The Muslims have been true to form, causing war and terror in any country they are in.
I very much doubt, that they have been innocent in all of this.

Anyway it is a tribal, territorial war. As the populations on both sides grow, they require
ever more land to expand.. There is no solution to the problem.
