Buffer Zone

A perimeter is a line without area ● We should stop using this incorrect term, and talk about a buffer zone or security strip, but not a perimeter


The inaccurate, and sometimes incorrect, use of the term perimeter requires clarification. Linguistically, it should be said perimeter (purple) and not perimeter (concave), as many disruptors say.


Essentially, this is a concept from the field of geometry, and means perimeter. Perimeter = perimeter, a closed line that surrounds an area (a shape such as a square, rectangle, .....), and has no width, and therefore no area. For example, a circle is an area surrounded by a circle that is a line (perimeter).


Recently, this term has been widely and incorrectly used not in the field of geometry but in the field of security. In the context in question (Gaza, Lebanon), it is not a line but a strip (with an area) X km wide, where (in the strip) there is no place for a Gazan/Lebanese person or a Gazan/Lebanese house, and anyone who enters this strip is sentenced to death.


Therefore, the correct concepts are a buffer zone, or a security strip, but not a "perimeter" that does not define an area. Hamas is expected to at some point make us - and the entire "enlightened" world - realize our mistake and push us from the "yellow line" to the "green line", correctly claiming that the perimeter has no area, and therefore there is no place for any Israeli presence in the buffer zone west of the "green line". In other words, it will stand by the basic meaning of the concept perimeter, while emphasizing the fact that the perimeter has no area.


The meaning: pushing the IDF into the "green line" area, and returning to the reality that in certain localities the settlement fence will be the border itself. Have we learned the lessons of October Seven?!
