| Why the Israelis are losing Bonnie Altman 16 May 2002 One of the essential keys to negotiating is knowing your Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA) and negotiating by those terms. Israel is not doing that at all, and is instead reacting. Arafat, on the other hand, has been following his BATNA for years: terror. Until we as a people and as a nation, come up with and use our BATNA, in all matters, we will continue using the political and logistical fight. It is not a matter of ideology, but of practicality and survival. Not only must we use our own BATNA, but we must convince the Arabs that using their BATNA is no good to them. If that takes killing terrorists in public, hangings, or deportation, burying them in pig skin - so be it. Convince them that terror is not useful, and they will give it up. One note of congratulations: When Israel refused to cooperate with the UN investigation into the fabricated slaughter in Jenin, she showed brevity and logic. The Goyim can not hang the Jewish people unless we hand them the noose. Bravo! Keep thinking that way, and we WILL prevail. (See Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand) They need our cooperation in order to vilify us. Don't cooperate, and they won't succeed. Bonnie Altman Houston, Texas |
