NOT BY OMISSION - AMNON KAPELIOUK KARTONIERT (TB)

In this book  first published in Hebrew in 1975 and now available in English for the first time
with an introduction by Noam Chomsky  Amnon Kapeliouk traces the policies and attitudes that
led to the 1973 Arab-Israel war. He describes the multiple diplomatic overtures from Egyptian
presidents Nasser and Sadat after 1967 that Israel ignored or contemptuously rejected  as well
as the complacent attitude that had become fully entrenched in the Israeli military
establishment. On the political level  the triumvirate of Golda Meir  Moshe Dayan and Israel
Galili feature prominently as a study in arrogance and incompetence. Kapeliouk also notes the
protest movement that arose among active-duty soldiers as well as veterans in the wake of the
war demanding political accountability for the failures of the war. Finally  the book examines
Israel's policy of colonizing the territories occupied in 1967  starting with the Golan Heights
and later spreading to the West Bank (Judaea and Samaria) and the Sinai - a policy that did
much to convince the leaders of Arab states that war was their only option. Introduced by Noam
Chomsky and Irene Gendzier.
