In the current, 2023 Israeli-HAMAS War, Gerry Maxey’s Theory of the Case is centered on Israeli Leadership.
Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu is a misplaced politician; he is a brilliant American politician; but a rank amateur as an Israeli politician, guiding his people to survival on a Jewish island, surrounded by a sea of Arabs.
He does not like Arabs; which is fair enough. But, alas, he does not respect Arabs; which means he cannot make peace with Arabs.
Seemingly the HAMAS Murder Raid of October 7, 2023, has alerted both Israeli analysts and the NEW YORK TIMES to Netanyahu’s fatal flaw. He is more American than Israeli.
THE NEW YORK TIMES, OCTOBER 2023
“The late Ariel Sharon was in the habit of saying, “we will defend ourselves, by ourselves,…..wrote Nadav Eyal, an Israeli analyst, in the newspaper YEDIOTH AHRONOTH. “These are not the values that Netanyahu has been projecting in the last few days. He seems to yearn to be the United States’51st state…..” NY TIMES.”
On July 24, 2014, this Blogger published::A Contrarian Revisionist Theory of Everything-"Bibi" Netanyahu.
The following is excerpted from that Blog:
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu is the most gifted, the most articulate politician currently on the American political scene. He is sparkling and dazzling in his grasp and command of the American vernacular and American idiom. ….he is truly the greatest American communicator extant….. his political skill set is perfect for America yet lacking for Israel, and certainly deficient for the Middle East. Bibi understands Americans, but does not understand Arabs, specifically Palestinians. It is arguably better for an Israeli Prime Minister to understand Arabs than Americans.
….Israel’s Founding Father Ben-Gurion knew Arabs; he did not disdain them as inconsequential, as Bibi does…..
Israel is a state that has no room for error. It not only needs a nuclear bomb, a fabulous Army and an Iron Dome (a shield of anti-missiles missiles), it needs Ben-Gurion smarts.
To survive under the pressure of no errors, Israel needs allies, and not just America. Palestinians may never be allies of Israel, but it is well within David Ben-Gurion’s dream that Palestinians can live a benign, dignified, honorable co-existence with a non-expansive Israel.
Peace need not be a group hug; Peace is not killing each other.
…Once in Cairo, this Blogger had a drink with a Christian Palestinian on the banks of the Nile. He thought the life span of Israel would be 88 years, for the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem lasted 88 years, and he compared Israel to that Crusader state.
He thought it would take 88 years for the brilliant leadership of the founding fathers of Israel to entropy into the leadership of Guy of Lusignan, the obtuse Crusader King who lost all that the Crusaders had built in the Middle East in an ill advised battle with Saladin, the Battle of Hattin. …..…THE MAXEY CHRONICLES”
One can still kill people one respects; but one cannot make a just peace with people, one disrespects.
