Israel,
`Palestine` And `Correlation Of Forces` In The Middle East A look at Israel's new challenges facing the prospect of a new neighbor parked inside what used to be its old borders, and what the combination of its old neigbors and news neighbors could mean to its national security. |

The Deeper Meanings of
"Disengagement" The singular human being that stands helplessly before this force has effectively become a corpse before any lethal assault is even launched. Israel, still manipulated and assaulted by an intermittent stream of barbarous Palestinian terror, is in the process of becoming this pitiable individual writ large. |

The Meaning Of `Palestine`
For Israeli
Security And Regional Nuclear War A new state of "Palestine" will very likely be carved out of the still-living body of Israel. Supported by the President of the United States, this 23rd Arab state will quickly try to extend, incrementally, even within the "Green Line" boundaries of Israel itself. Strategically, this Palestinian state — tied to many terrorist groups and flanking 70 percent of Israel`s population — will have a widely injurious impact on Israel`s survival options. It will, therefore, strongly affect future war in the Middle East. |

If You Liked Fallujah, You`ll
Love `Palestine` "...back on the last day of March of this year, Fallujah was briefly known for the manifestly unheroic behavior of its Arab/Islamic combatants. Then it was the place where Islamic insurgents openly dramatized their long-cherished practice of desecrating the dead. The ineradicable image of charred American bodies hanging from an Iraqi bridge in Fallujah on that day brought to my mind a similar atrocity several years earlier in Palestinian Ramallah. There, an unspeakably barbarous mob tortured, disemboweled and gouged out the eyes of two defenseless Israelis who had gotten lost on the roads." |

Avoiding the 'Road Map' After
Arafat "Irony still surrounds the Road Map to peace in the Middle East. Should this deadly plan create the impression that it can put a halt to Palestinian terrorism — perhaps by carefully coordinated Arab orchestration of a temporary halt to terror violence — Israel would then be under increasing pressure to accept a Palestinian state. This is especially the case if Prime Minister Sharon should proceed simultaneously with his declared policy of "disengagement" from Gaza. " |

Iranian Nuclearization And
Israel`s `Arrow`:
Implications For Preemption Option Israel`s security from enemy state aggression depends upon a carefully conceived mix of deterrence, preemption and war-fighting postures. It also requires an integrated and capable system of active defenses. The current core of Israel`s active defense system is the Arrow anti-ballistic missile program. |

The Daniel Project Final
Report Considering issues of both probability and disutility (harms), the principal existential threat to Israel at the present time is a conventional war mounted against it by a coalition of Arab states and/or Iran. |
