Israeli Geniuses: A Lesson in Strategic Imbecility
  This article is actually part of a series, I have been doing, which should probably be called, “Downhill from Sinai.”   As an example, let us follow one particular string of decisions – or, better perhaps, “lunacies” – made by ostensibly intelligent people, long on tactical and political, short-range vision but short on strategic, long-range vision.

The latter, who was still fighting for his command of a Jewish Army which would strike Rommel “on the left flank” and dreaming of commanding Jews in action (for him, as he put it “...
