David Kimche

Look at this obituary of a former leader of Mossad by Kershner in the Times. 1) She did not say that he obtained his wigs from the same place that the dumb 27 Mossad killers in Dubai obtain their wigs. 2) Notice this: "Employing a combination of cunning and charm..." Yes, an Israeli killer is charming, although she never met him, I assume, although I am sure she met his successors. Charming? Imagine if Nazila Fathi describes the head of the intelligence section of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as "charming." If that happens, Fathi would be forced to locate from Toronto, Iran to Cyberia, Iran. The New York Times would find any Israeli "charming." 3) She said: "He led Israel’s delegations in negotiations with Egypt and Lebanon..." Yes, after Israel invaded Lebanon and killed more than 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinians mostly civilians in 1982, it forced a peace treaty on Lebanon which Kimche imposed on the country, before Israel was forced to humiliatingly get out of most of Lebanon. 4) Kershner said: "Often holding unorthodox views, Mr. Kimche encouraged Israeli relations with Christians in Lebanon..." No, his views were unorthodox. He encouraged Israeli relations NOT WITH CHRISTIANS in Lebanon but with Christian right-wing, fascist militias in Lebanon, like the Lebanese Forces. There is a difference between right-wing, fascistic militias and "Christians in Lebanon." So the arming of the South Lebanon Army and Lebanese Forces appears in the script by Kershner like a humanitarian mission. 5) She said: "He wrote or helped write several books on the region." Yes, he wrote books along with his brother but those books no one read (probably except me), and they had nothing to offer except ink.
