<DIV>I'm puzzled by the name "peace camp" in this piece. Certainly, there are elements even in Israel that do not promote (or condone?) these actions, albeit without much influence or numbers. The peace camp alluded to is anything but, a perversion of the phrase.

<DIV>So we know — and the Israeli leadership knows — that when it discusses Palestinian violence as “retaliation,” it is lying. Israel is forced to conduct constant counter-insurgency operations to restore its “deterrence” because it is unwilling to recognize the legitimacy and primacy of Palestinian claims to the land. Thus it has chosen the path of perpetual violence to quash the resistance which arises to defend those claims.</DIV>
<DIV>This practice has nothing to do with irredentist Likud governments, or the “failure” of the peace camp. Violence is the truest testament to the Israeli peace camp’s historical success in selling war as peace and state-guided capitalism as “socialism,” a practice <A href="http://dissidentvoice.org/2007/06/why-boycott-israel-because-it%E2%80%99s-good-for-you/" rel=nofollow target=_blank><FONT color=#0066cc>perfected in Israel</FONT></A> well before it became a mainstay of European social democratic parties. The Zionist “peace” camp has been the party of generals, and generals seldom make peace. Especially in Israel, they directly profit off its absence, and this violence is constitutive of Israeli history. It is perfectly rational, a necessary component of displacing a society and building a new one in its place.<VAR id=yiv203874613yui-ie-cursor></VAR></DIV></DIV></DIV>_______________________________________________<BR>Peace-discuss
