“The interesting issue is how you create a longer gap between the wars,” said Brig. Gen. Herzl Halevi. Rina Castelnuovo for The New York Times
To a Philosopher-General in Israel, Peace Is the Time to Prepare for War -- Jodi Rudoren, New York Times
When he arrived here two years ago to command the Israel Defense Forces in the northern Galilee region, Brig. Gen. Herzl Halevi was certain that Israel’s next war with Lebanon would break out on his watch. As General Halevi prepares to leave his post on Nov. 28, he is even more convinced it will happen during his successor’s tour.
“I don’t think there is the war or the operation that will solve the problem,” General Halevi explained during a recent tour of the border his troops patrol. “The interesting issue is how you create a longer gap between the wars.”
“It’s not going to be a simple one,” he added. “There are no simple wars. We are ready to pay this price to make a very decisive and strong war to make the gap as long as possible.”

My Comment: I do not envy his job .... he has to have always a mindset that the next war is a "when proposition" .... and not an "if the next war will come". But considering where he lives .... he is probably right.

And I am quite certain that some random General of the Iranian Defense or some random Brigadier of the Syrian Al-Qaeda or some random Commander of Afghan Taliban are all saying the exact thing that Herzl Halevi is "philosophizing" that the "Next War" is merely a false peaceful interlude away.
It is time to map the cognitive resonance.
There is Peace behind the Walls of Prison... and by extension Concentration Camp or Border Fence... if you will have it... as the OSS/CIA man once said.
As someone who has no meat to grid for either side be it Halal or Kosher, I fail to resonate as I see some people having cognitive resonance to one side or another. In fact I find humanizing Israelis and dehumanizing Islamites as perverted Nazism.
I guess it still costs more to send one genepool of 3 million to death as opposed to sending another genepool of 30 million to Gulag? That kind of math fails me, utterly.
Chopped Liver looks the same, be it Jewish, Christian or Islamic. Be it capitalist or communist.
As I always said, and singularly identifiable: When the bombs were dropping on the famous "Napalm Girl" across Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos the "Underage Asian Girl" was given a sophisticated and philosophical choice she can NEVER make when she can even remotely UNDERSTAND political economy and political philosophy, let alone answer:
"Do you support the White Jewish Karl Marx Communism or Do you support the White Jewish Ayn Rand Capitalism?"
Whichever answer the "Napalm Girl" gave she was going to be bombed into "crisp deep fried chicken." If she survived she'd be part of the sexual chicken trade of the last century. Fried Meat, anyways.
Likewise, the hurricane victims of Philippines are now saying, am sure that the "Napalm Girl" also said: "I just want a bowl of Rice." And we send the "Imperial Cruise," instead.
Lets see if all the failed men (and their women) of the past will be bettered by Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen on that front. Or whether she too will use the Fiduciary Weapon for Genocide.
It is fashionable in the western civilization, oh! so full of the "People of the Book" to give too much credence to "The Word." Meanwhile the body, mind, heart, stomach and soul are all languishing, killed and slaughtered. And then one finds so many who resonate to one side of war and not to the other.
There are no good guys in any war. Cold War was yet another ugly dyadic to genetically cleanse the non-whites of all many continents. Like the Buffalo that once roamed upon where I stand, there is not even a knowledge of their existence.
The coming war after the interlude of peace and rousing music of Leonard Bernstein or Jerry Goldsmith before the curtain call shall be no different.
War is Genetic. Always. Who cares which 23-pair of DNA is cooked?
One can only Envy the Dead. The living are here on Earth to Suffer.
