Israeli plans for Lebanon

Israeli plans for Lebanon

Modern Zionism is the practical application av Biblical Judaism. As shown in the document on Jewish religious dictats concerning the land of Lebanon and its peoples, Lebanon has a special focus already in the Jewish Torah and thus today has suffered at the hands of the strategists of Zionism.

A stategy of divide and conquer has long been employed by them. The following excerpts from the Zionist policy makers reveal this plan, a cynical plan under wich the Lebanese population - of all creeds - has been the victims.

Excerpt on Lebanon from the article "A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties" by Zionist strategist Oded Yinon, published in Kivunim (Directions), Hebrew-language magazine and official organ of the World Zionist Organization, in 1982:

Lebanon: Lebanon's total dissolution into five provinces serves as a precedent for the entire Arab world including Egypt, Syria, Iraq and the Arabian peninsula and is already following that track. The dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon, is Israel's primary target on the Eastern front in the long run, while the dissolution of the military power of those states serves as the primary short term target.

David Ben-Gurion (Israel´s first prime minister), May 1948, to the General Staff. From "Ben-Gurion, A Biography", by Michael Ben-Zohar, Delacorte, New York, 1978:

We should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the Moslem regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan; Syria will fall to us. We then bomb and move on and take Port Said, Alexandria and Sinai.

Excerpt on Lebanon from the book Israel's Sacred Terrorism: A Study based on ex-Prime Minister Moshe Sharett's Diary, 1980, 1982, 1986, by Livia Rokach:

On May 16, during a joint meeting of senior officials of the defense and foreign affairs ministries, Ben Gurion again raised the demand that Israel do something about Lebanon. The moment was particularly propitious, he maintained, due to renewed tensions between Syria and Iraq, and internal trouble in Syria. Dayan immediately expressed his enthusiastic support:

According to him [Dayan] the only thing that's necessary is to find an officer, even just a Major. We should either win his heart or buy him with money, to make him agree to declare himself the savior of the Maronite population. Then the Israeli army will enter Lebanon, will occupy the necessary territory, and will create a Christian regime which will ally itself with Israel. The territory from the Litani southward will be totally annexed to Israel and everything will be all right.
[...]
The Chief of Staff supports a plan to hire a [Lebanese] officer who will agree to serve as a puppet so that the Israeli army may appear as responding to his appeal "to liberate Lebanon from its Muslim oppressors."

Excerpt from an article by Israeli member of the Knesset Uri Avneri, published in Hoalam Hazeh, September 23, 1980, who states that "in the eyes of today's reader this plan seems an accurate blueprint for what took place in Lebanon". Avneri writes:

The intention to partition Lebanon
Sharett reveals that already in February 1954 Ben Gurion proposed a large Israeli operation to dismember the Lebanese state and to establish a Maronite-Christian state in one of its parts. Extended discussions were held as a result. Ben Gurion explicated the plan at length in a letter to Sharett, and Sharett answered in a long letter in which he opposed the plan vehemently, Ben Gurion was ready to invest large sums in bribing Christian leaders in Lebanon. Sharett also revealed that the chief of staff supported the plan of buying a Lebanese army officer who would be used as a puppet, and who would make it seem that the intervention of the Israeli army would be in response to his call for the liberation of Lebanon from Muslim subjugation. In the eyes of today's reader this plan seems an accurate blueprint for what took place in Lebanon after that - the civil war, the establishment of the Maronite enclave of Major Sa'd Haddad and labeling it "free Lebanon."
