But Which Half?

You might presume that my astonishment at this revelation

War probe member: Half our recommendations still unimplemented

A member of the Winograd panel on Sunday blasted the government and defense establishment for not implementing all the recommendations made in the damning report on their conduct during the Second Lebanon War.

"About half the recommendations have not been put into action," said Prof. Yehezkel Dror. He made the comments at a conference organized by the Geneva Initiative.

Dror charged that since the publication of the final report in January, "there has been no great improvement in operational and strategic doctrines."

is that Israel is 50% behind on protecting its citizens and its international standing.

Nope.

It's the fact that he said this at a meeting of the Geneva Initiative.

What's that - the Geneva Initiative - I hear you say?

Well, according to their site they have some odd ideas about peace. For example, here, they explain that

The borders will be based on the 1967 lines (or green line) with minor, mutual modifications, whereby the vast majority of Israeli settlers will stay and be part of Israel’s new borders while the rest are evacuated and the Palestinians will receive an equal amount of land from within Israel in exchange – partly to expand the densely populated Gaza Strip.

Now, to expand the Gaza Strip is to bring violence, terror and ballistics even closer. Do you think that someone in this "Initiative" would have learned something?

And if Prof. Dror is as much a strategist as he thinks he is, does he not think that Syria, expanding into Lebanon, does not think the Galilee the same way the Russians view South Ossetia? Or that the Pals. think of all of Israel that way? (Note my thinking here and also here)

Maybe I should have asked from which half of Dror's brain came the idea to participate a Geneva Initiative function?
