Christopher Bollyn: The Downing of MH17 – Is Israel Involved?
He [Pinhas Lavon] inspired and cultivated the negative adventuristic trend in the army and preached the doctrine that not the Arab countries but the Western Powers are the enemy, and the only way to deter them from their plots is through direct actions that will terrorize them.
[Shimon] Peres shares the same ideology [as Lavon]: he wants to frighten the West into supporting Israel’s aims.
– Moshe Sharett, Israel’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, 1955
