Emile, I don't know what to make of the late Joe Vialls' stuff? He wrote convincingly but I think made up for a lot of real evidence with his imagination. I thought this piece was interesting: themilitant.com >>Likud is a rightist party founded by Sharon in 1973 under the banner of conceding “not one inch” of territory taken by the state of Israel from Palestinians forced off their land or the surrounding Arab states. It has sought to put into practice the Zionist movement’s goal of expanding the state of Israel through Jewish settlement all the way from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. The Zionist dream of “Greater Israel” has collapsed, however, leading to the Likud split. A historic decline in Jewish immigration to Israel—the logic of which has been accepted for a while by top Israeli politicians—is the main underlying factor.<< The realpolitik of the dwindling Israeli population together with a virtual cessation of new immigrants forced a rethink of the traditional expansionist policy.
