The newspaper “Maariv” published July 12 article Alon Pinkas, entitled “Lessons of the Second Lebanon War – unexpected parallels”
In recent weeks, the U.S. is actively public debate on military intervention in Libya. First of all, discusses the constitutional and political aspect of the issue. The main claims brought against President Obama: He did not ask for (and received) permission Congress to conduct military operations in Libya and the translation to this end, the U.S. Army contingent in the region of the world. The argument the president, rejects such claims, has been reduced to this: we are not talking about the war, and therefore there was no need to go to Congress. Moreover, from a formal point of view, the head of state in such a treatment is not needed. President, says the White House, is the supreme commander of the U.S. armed forces, and a prolonged war, which require special budgetary allocations required by law to refer to members of Congress. Republican Congress (as well as a number of senators from the Democratic Party and experts in the legislative sphere) argues that the president violated the law on the powers of 1973. This law, which was adopted during the end of the war in Vietnam, as well as after the publication of the Pentagon, showing the numerous violations by the U.S. administration, was designed to punish President Nixon and prevent future similar developments. This was especially true of enormous funds spent on maintaining a failed war, mobilized by the Presidents Kennedy and Johnson since 1963. Under this law, the president has the right to declare war only in case of emergency, when there is an imminent threat to U.S. security. It must notify its decision to Congress within 48 hours after the declaration of war. If Congress does not approve this decision, the main contingent of the army has the right to remain in a war zone not exceeding 60 days. Another 30 days is given to retreat. Obama, the Republicans claim to have violated the law in all its sections. Action in Libya, meets president, the war is not. Although this debate is the constitutionality of the concerns and characteristics of the American system of government, it is a political aspect: who actually has the authority to go to war, who are responsible for the conduct of war and its results for the one who determines the vital interests of the state? At first glance, this whole discussion irrelevant in Washington for Israel – not in constitutional law terms, neither with regard to the recent war in our region – the Second Lebanon. Meanwhile, at a theoretical level, if the war in 2006 was examined through the lens of American law on the powers, we would get a very interesting and important to the future of our country and society results. Let’s imagine this scenario. In July 2006 the Israeli government decides to immediately respond to the abduction and murder of IDF soldiers near the Lebanese border. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert declares state of emergency on a national scale. Within 48 hours, Olmert addresses the Knesset, and requests to authorize the conduct of hostilities for a long (more than 60 days). Knesset approves the request of the Prime Minister by a majority vote (98 against 22). And this is the end, and it began, the constitutional dispute. The war begins – rocket attacks killed, the UN resolution for 1701, and later – the Winograd Commission and the resignation of Defense Minister. If we analyze the events of the summer of 2006 in accordance with U.S. law on the powers, there is a fundamental question: whether there was a “state of emergency on a national scale,” in July 2006? Have Israeli strategic interests at stake, requiring immediate action of this kind? Were there any other methods – military and political – of this war? Criticism of the Second Lebanon are heard against the then government, often contains a lot of exaggeration. However, supporters of Mr Olmert’s cabinet decision unreasonably inflate the success of the second Lebanon, refusing to acknowledge the colossal mistakes made by political and army leadership, and the questionable results of this war. Those who talk with pride about the success of today “strategic deterrence” and to “calm the border,” neglect to mention that “Hezbollah,” which in 2006 had 12,000 rockets, now has forty thousand. The northern boundary of “quiet” because it serves the interests of “Hezbollah” and not because the Shia frightening confrontation with the IDF possible. Israeli home front is still deprived of a real and effective protection. The possibilities are limited to the army for political reasons, and the international legitimacy of Israel’s military action is under question. (“Ma’ariv”)

Portal ZMAN.com published July 12 article by Nina Voronel under the headline “Shocking revelation”
I do not know how many of the readers ZMAN.com watching Israeli television Channel One. I am afraid that many. A pity! This Sunday in the “Who killed my father” was told the background of the war Judgement Day. The program was devoted to the investigation, the two women, is no longer young, in whose sight in 1976 in Washington, was killed by their father, a military attache, J. Alon Israel. Dropping the deliberate failure of the authorities, both American and Israeli conscientious conduct the investigation and search for the murderer, I’ll move on to a discovery made by the daughter of the late Alona. In doing so, they helped the expiration of silence prescribed to all participants of those distant events, including the killing of the Israeli military attache was very small – I would say a “crime” if you would be convinced of the correctness of this definition. I do not want to turn his paper into a detective story, I immediately turn to the essence of which Ezer Weizman said: “If I open my mouth, the Israeli people will be shocked.” But he has not opened his mouth, so that after Israel’s victory in the 1967 war in the Arab world was shocked, humiliated and offended by their defeat. Additionally, the shock was the Soviet Union, because the rapid victory of the Israeli Arabs has called into question the value of his alliance and his weapons. And it has decided to use cunning fox Henry Kissinger, for whom both Israel and the Arabs were merely pawns in his chess match with the Soviet Union. He suggested that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan cunning plan – to play a small war-play, in which Israel initially lose a few battles, providing an opportunity to restore wounded Sadat defeat of Arab pride. And then naturally win, but it will no longer be important. And so it happened – though the defeat was not the first small, and the death toll has surpassed all expectations, but reached its goal of Kissinger. Arab pride of his little excited, Israeli loss is even less – he needed the Arab rejection of Soviet arms and the Arab-Soviet friendship. Sadat by Egyptian media cleverly declared war on the Day of Judgement with his victory – Allah will judge him! But Moshe Dayan, too, something achieved – with not quite perfectly played out the play he still managed to prigasit blazing Arab hatred and, ultimately, allow Israel to make peace with Egypt. Let flawed, but nevertheless the world. All this history for many years was a great secret – I did not understand whether it is devoted to Golda Meir, not to mention the rest of the ministers of the government. Investigation of Alon daughters that their father was found late this “yom-kipurskuyu” scam, and was not ready to hide his resentment. For which he paid with his life. “He was murdered with the connivance of the FBI,” Mossad “- explained one of the participants in television programs. Hearing this, I froze in front of the TV in shock – collapsed all of my past performances. And, frankly, I do not know whether a sly combination of angry bastard, and Kissinger admire: because through it our country freed from persistent attention to the Soviet big brother, not to mention the thirty years of peace with Egypt.
