After reading [Benny] Morris today ["Why Israel Feels Threatened," a headline that will go down in infamy –Weiss] I recalled the advice that the late Israeli
PM Levi Eshkol (who headed the Israeli government in 1967) had given to
Israeli diplomats then: “Present yourself as Poor Samson” (or pitiful
Samson), make powerful Israel look weak in order to justify Israeli
military action.
