Apropos the X post by Ms. TXG ... from 1995 to 1996:

A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm is a policy document that was prepared in 1996 by a study group led by Richard
Perle:

"Israel has a large problem. Labor Zionism, which for 70 years has dominated the Zionist
movement, has generated a stalled and shackled economy. Efforts to salvage Israel’s socialist
institutions—which include pursuing supranational over national sovereignty and pursuing a
peace process that embraces the slogan, "New Middle East"—undermine the legitimacy of
the nation and lead Israel into strategic paralysis and the previous government’s "peace
process." That peace process obscured the evidence of eroding national critical mass—
including a palpable sense of national exhaustion—and forfeited strategic initiative. The loss
of national critical mass was illustrated best by Israel’s efforts to draw in the United States to
sell unpopular policies domestically, to agree to negotiate sovereignty over its capital, and to
respond with resignation to a spate of terror so intense and tragic that it deterred Israelis from
engaging in normal daily functions, such as commuting to work in buses.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s government comes in with a new set of ideas. While there are those
who will counsel continuity, Israel has the opportunity to make a clean break; it can forge a
peace process and strategy based on an entirely new intellectual foundation, one that restores
strategic initiative and provides the nation the room to engage every possible energy on
rebuilding Zionism, the starting point of which must be economic reform. To secure the
nation’s streets and borders in the immediate future, Israel can:
▪ Work closely with Turkey and Jordan to contain, destabilize, and roll-back some of its
most dangerous threats. This implies clean break from the slogan, "comprehensive
peace" to a traditional concept of strategy based on balance of power.
▪ Change the nature of its relations with the Palestinians, including upholding the right of
hot pursuit for self defense into all Palestinian areas and nurturing alternatives to
Arafat’s exclusive grip on Palestinian society.
▪ Forge a new basis for relations with the United States—stressing self-reliance,
maturity, strategic cooperation on areas of mutual concern, and furthering values
inherent to the West. This can only be done if Israel takes serious steps to terminate aid,
which prevents economic reform."
