I have long believed that the expression "military intelligence" was a contradiction in terms, especially when applied to the senior echelons of the Israeli Army. Imagine my surprise when I read in today's
Ha'aretz newspaper that an Israeli military committee have concluded that demolishing the family homes of terrorist suspects causes Israel more harm than good.
According to the
report, the committee has found that
the damage to Israel caused by the demolitions was greater than the benefits because the deterrence, limited if at all, paled in comparison to the hatred and hostility toward Israel that the demolitions provoked among the Palestinians
I am astounded. What will they think of next?
