January 17, 2020 “…they will not heed my voice”     Shemot 4:1

The overwhelming majority of retired IDF Generals and their Intelligence equivalents comprise the Commanders for Israel’s Security (EnCis.org.il). The CIS, certain that Israel jeopardizes security with her hawkish status quo, makes urgent recommendations for Gaza and the West Bank for promoting economic development and wider Palestinian Authority civil /security administration, even in Gaza. Also, for enlarging West Bank areas of Palestinian control to reduce infuriating, gratuitous IDF barriers to travel and to allow the PA to consolidate its moderating control over widely dispersed, struggling and radicalizing Arab villages. The generals insist that these compromises will not reduce security and can generate PA willingness to stop anti-Israel incitement and to strengthen planning and civil governance. Hearken to these Israeli heroes in search of peace – at least as much as the politicians in search of votes.
