Gen. Udi  Shani, which called for ending this policy, on the grounds that it does not  deter, and causes more harm than potential benefit. The recommendation, and the  decision to adopt it, eliminated the foundation for the claim of deterrence  that Israel  had maintained for so many years</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/858339D9-D633-4CB8-8050-F499E9009E9E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
