It argues that shifting global conditions demand a redesigned operational strategy for domestic and foreign affairs. The essay frames an emerging historical epoch marked by the decline of Western rationalist humanist assumptions, resource constraints, and eroding ethics and values. It links these changes to geopolitical instability and the need for a revised outlook to ensure the Jewish state’s prosperity and steadiness.","A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties, by Oded Yinon, translated by Israel Sha... Page 1 of 15  \nA Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties  \nby Oded Yinon (with a foreword by, and translated by Israel Shahak)  \nForeword  \nThe following essay represents, in my opinion, the accurate and detailed plan of the present Zionist regime (of Sharon and Eitan) for the Middle East which is based on the division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states. I will comment on the military aspect of this plan ina concluding note. Here I want to draw the attention of the readers to several important points:  \n1. The idea that all the Arab states should be broken down, by Israel, into small units, occurs again and again in Israeli strategic thinking. For example, Ze'ev Schiff, the military correspondent of Ha'aretz (and probably the most knowledgeable in Israel, on this topic) writes about the \"best\" that can happen for Israeli interests in Iraq: \"The dissolution of Iraq into a Shi'ite state, a Sunni state and the separation of the Kurdish part\" (Ha'aretz 6/2/1982) . Actually, this aspect of the plan is very old.  \n2. The strong connection with Neo-Conservative thought in the USA is very prominent, especially in the author's notes. But, while lip service is paid to the idea of the \"defense of the West\" from Soviet power, the real aim of the author, and of the present Israeli establishment is clear: To make an Imperial Israel into a world power. In other words, the aim of Sharon is to deceive the Americans after he has deceived all the rest.  \n3. It is obvious that much of the relevant data, both in the notes and in the text, is garbled or omitted, such as the financial help of [the U.S. to](the U.S. to) Israel. Much of it is pure fantasy. But, the plan is not to be regarded as not influential, or as not capable of realization for a short time. The plan follows faithfully the geopolitical ideas current in Germany of 1890-1933, which were swallowed whole by Hitler and the Nazi movement, and determined their aims for East Europe. Those aims, especially the division of the existing states, were carried out in 1939- 1941, and only an alliance on the global scale prevented their consolidation for a period of time.  \nThe notes by the author follow the text. To avoid confusion, I did not add any notes of my own, but have put the substance of them into this foreward and the conclusion at the end. I have, however, emphasized some portions of the text.  \nIsrael Shahak June 13, 1982  \nA Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties  \nby Oded Yinon  \n[http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/articles/article0005345.html](http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/articles/article0005345.html) 08/03/2010  \nA Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties, by Oded Yinon, translated by Israel Sha...

This need has become even more vital due to a number of central processes which the country, the region and the world are undergoing. We are living today in the early stages of a new epoch in human history which is not at all similar to its predecessor, and its characteristics are totally different from what we have hitherto known. That is why we need an understanding of the central processes which typify this historical epoch on the one hand, and on the other hand we need a world outlook and an operational strategy in accordance with the new conditions.
