Two weeks ago, this newspaper published an unbridled attack on Dr. Henry Kissinger and on a Jewish organization in New York for inviting him to speak. The op-ed claimed that Kissinger “has a long record of undermining Israel” and that he “caused grave damage to Israel.”
The 96-year-old former US secretary of state does not deserve such opprobrium. On the contrary, he has earned our appreciation.
Kissinger
remains one of the greatest practitioners of modern foreign policy and
strategic affairs; a towering intellectual thinker; an architect of
global stability and Mideast peacemaking; and yes – he was friend of
Israel when in office and he is today, too.
The most serious allegation hurled at Kissinger over the years by some
Israelis is that he held up the American resupply of Israel with weapons
during the first week of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. As the story goes,
Israel requested an emergency airlift of arms as soon as the war broke
out. But Kissinger didn’t want Israel’s eventual victory to be too
lopsided, thinking it would easier to get a stable ceasefire if Egypt
and Israel fought to a draw, so he supposedly stalled the airlift and
bled Israel.Except that this
isn’t true. President Richard Nixon and Kissinger clearly wanted to
lead post-war peace talks based on an Israeli victory, not on a draw
with the Arabs who were backed by Soviet arms. Israeli victory was the
American interest.

ReplyDeletesaw the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteNothing there!
Total waste of time!
Except that it is true. Read "The Secret War Against The Jews" for the plentiful evidence of Kissinger's perfidy. Yes, Nixon wanted an Israeli victory to counter the USSR's influence in the Middle East but he also didn't want a confident Israel. He needs a quiet, dependent Israel so he could try to repair relationship with some of the Soviet clients.
