Entry: Rethinking 1948 Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/rethinking_1948#28023 Post contents: Madrid, Yes. I for one have read such things about Van Creveld's claims. I think the most recent outrages from this character have been in a Playboy interview - June, last year maybe. I have not been able to track it down. And, I understand he made almost exactly the same threats: if Israel is headed down, they will take European (and probably Arab) cities, down with them. This is a threat that not even Hitler or Stalin were able to accomplish: mass murder and destruction on a scale unseen in human history. Apparently, this guy is no crackpot. So, the question should be asked: to what extent do his views reflect the real views of the ruling class in Israel? That's a question I bet no one will want to touch. Sent at: 2008 11 20
