Random thoughts from 'Bibi: My Story' - Netanyahu's autobiography

"Security and reciprocity/revenge" But I feel that security has never been found by Israel and there is only ever revenge 70 x 7!

Better red under Putin than dead under Zelensky and the West is the worst of the lot around the world from our track record of claiming anything we find around the world is ours, slavery and warfare.  Putin is ruthless in his sphere of influence but has not gone further around the world than Afghanistan.  While the British led and then American led West has gone everywhere.

Bibi is so eloquent with words and phrases in debate.  But he can only live in peace with one neighbour, King Hussein of Jordan and even then fell out spectacularly with him over a botched Mossad assassination attempt in this friendly country that angered the King!

Always, the ferociousness and enmity from Israel has failed in 80 years to win the peace for them.  It has only upped the anti on both sides and increased the anger and hostility - from the Palestinians and Iranians in particular.

"The justice of our cause and our rights in our ancestral homeland" p 338 - from 4,000 years ago.  Yet, the descendants of them all, Arabs and Jews, is Abraham.  They are one big family - supposedly.

Bibi's paranoia and fear: after 2,000 years they have re-established the Jewish state in the face of forces that sought its destruction, "our annihilation".  "We will walk among the giants."

He is constantly excoriating in condemning terrorism.  Every enemy of Israel is denounced as a terrorist and anti-Semite.  Yet, it was three Israeli terrorist gangs, one of whom became the IDF (Haganah), which were successful in sending packing the world's most powerful and biggest empire in the history of humanity, in 1948.

Haganah, (Hebrew: “Defense”), Zionist military organization representing the majority of the Jews in Palestine from 1920 to 1948.

Israel's idiocy and folly in developing WMD then led to Iran, of course, wanting them too.  It would have been far better for Israel never to have bothered and to have set a very fine example to Iran.

page 411/412: Bibi believes that colonialism was done by the Arabs against Israel who were the native population for 4,000 years and have the greater right to claim all the Land from the river to the sea, as in the Likud Charter.

p 421: Bibi's reciprocity is about "give and receive, not give and give more"

Both sides believe coercion, force, violence is the only way to win.  It seems that only total and complete surrender by one side or total annihilation of one side to leave the other victorious, can only ever bring peace.  Both want annihilation of the other.  As taught with actual examples, ordered by Yahweh in the Old Testament.

Bibi acts as if he is the only one who can be trusted with WMD.  None of his neighbours are allowed to have them.  The world's super power is on his side and would never allow Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth.  Since he completed writing the book, it is Bibi who has stated and acted to annihilate Hamas which also entails holocaust for the Gazans.  His policy of enmity and slaughter for the enemy has failed in each year for the last 78.

In the CW, Russia and the USA/West had WMD but war between them did not break out.  Why should it do so between Israel and Iran with MAD?  

Palestine to recognise the State of Israel is unnecessary, an unnecessary blockage to peace.

Both sides talk about utterly destroying the other.  But that is a given in a time of anger and bitterness and revenge.  As has been the case for 80 years, at least.

Jerusalem is for the Jews only, Bibi writes.  "Temple Mount is the holiest place for our people."  He is not so bothered about the Muslim holy places in Jerusalem.  Does he lack empathy, perhaps?

I don't think it matters that Iran denies the first Western nations 1930s/40s holocaust.  The second holocaust is what international bodies describe as the genocide in Gaza from 2023 to 2025.
