Crossing into Lebanon to destroy PLO started as a successful mission, and when the IDF destroyed the Syrian SAM belt in the Bekaa Valley through Operation Mole Cricket 19 it looked like victory was assured. Nonetheless as Defense Minister Ariel Sharon pursued Yasser Arafat (and his dreams of a peace treaty) into the Siege of Beirut, he discovered that his Maronite allies were not to be trusted and that it is easier to enter Lebanon than to leave.

The Jewish Story Season 6
Interlude - The Inner Pressure of the Present Moment
Sometimes you have to get out of your own head in order to know what you really think. Here is an episode where my good friend Eitan Ben Avraham of Aleph Male interviews me on the fundamental tensions underlying the Israeli/American Jewish relationship and how they find expression in our present political challenges.
Topics include the Jewish-American identity versus the Jewish-Israeli identity and what it means for an American oleh who made aliyah. Also, the Israeli Supreme Court and justice reform controversy, the Law of Return, reform, conservative and orthodox Jewish synagogues, and more.
