Reader comment on item: Why Palestinians Need an Israel Victory
in response to reader comment: Dear Mr. Richter

Submitted by Reynald de Chatillon (United States), May 9, 2018 at 01:52

Debanjan Banerjee has said what I have thought for a long time, that Israel is following a strategy for ultimate defeat. Their strategy is very defensive, much like the French with the Maginot Line. Look at the disastrous outcome of that strategy in 1940.
