This terrorist Israeli soldier who brags about being part of the Israeli occupation army, and of sneaking into Lebanon with a Canadian passport claims this in his book PumpkinFlowers" (which was rarely revised in US) that :“My intention here is not to get bogged down in historical explanation. I would rather suggest the title of a comprehensive history of these years of the Lebanon 'security zone' in the 1990s, for those interested in background, and continue Avi's story uninterrupted; unfortunately no such history has been written." (p. 19). In fact, Mundhir Jabir of the Lebanese University published an encyclopedic account of the "security zone", and I had reviewed it for the Journal of Palestine Studies. (thanks James)
