Most of the wars in which Israel has been involved were the result
of Israeli aggression, flawed decision making, and conflict
management strategies, or were otherwise avoidable. According to
esteemed scholar and policy analyst Zeev Maoz, Israel's war
experience is a story of folly, recklessness, and self-made traps.
None of the wars - with the possible exception of the 1948 War of
Independence - were what Israelis call wars of necessity. They were
all wars of choice or folly. ""Defending the Holy Land"" is a
comprehensive and critical analysis of Israel's national security
and foreign policy from the inception of the state of Israel to the
present. In these pages, Maoz argues that Israel's national
security policy rested on a trigger-happy approach to the use of
force combined with a hesitant and reactive peace diplomacy. This
combination was facilitated by the domination of the security
establishment over the foreign policy apparatus, resulting in
unnecessary or aggressive wars and missed opportunities for peace.
Ultimately, ""Defending the Holy Land"" calls for a fundamental
reassessment of Israel's security doctrine and for a major reform
in the foreign policy and national security establishments.
