ABSTRACT

When Israel, as an actor, is factored into this theoretical scenario, the picture becomes even more inflammatory and provocative. Moving from generalities to specifics, it is possible from this perspective to see even the landmark events of our modern history as the consequence of plots hatched by the great powers.

These include the 1956 War,13 Syria’s secession from Egypt in 1961,14 the Yemen War of 1962,15 the June 1967 disaster,16 the failure to crown the glorious crossing of the Suez Canal in October 197317 with the military liberation of the whole of Sinai, the visit of President Sadat18 to Jerusalem in 1977, the Camp David accords19 signed between Egypt and Israel, the demise of the Soviet Union and the structural collapse of socialism everywhere. Also perceived in this light – that is, the realization of a blueprint of plans that are slated to become history – are the emergence of the USA as the sole global superpower, the New World Order, the GATT,20 and a host of other global developments.
