Reply #37: I shall never forget that Golda Meier came to speak [View All]

at the University of Rochester after the 1973 War as she was an acquaintance of Senator Keating, and she quoted King Hussein of Jordan...not Chaim Wetitzman, not Moshe Dayan, and Hussein had said ruefully that the Fundamentalists/ Pan-Arabists position was that if Israel ceded all their land except for nine square inches, then that nine square inch parcel would require the fighting and dying of untold Arab people to secure. She further stated that if Israel could make peace with anyone, it was with King Hussein. And about that, she was correct.

All the keyboard-diplomats here who suggest that Israel shrink to her old nine-mile waist and try to 'defend' that should just forget about it. Not happening. In fact, it is arrant stupidity.
