Our Vision
Commanders for Israel's Security
Members of the movement are united around a common vision: Israel as a secure, democratic state with a solid Jewish majority for generations, conducting itself in accordance with the spirit and values of Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
To realize this vision, Israel must advance a security-based separation from the Palestinians and pursue peaceful relations with pragmatic countries of the region, all with a view of resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and contributing to regional stability.
The eventual agreement with the Palestinians should be based on the principle of two states for two peoples and account for Israel’s security needs.
About Us
The over 300 CIS members are are all retired generals and equivalents of the Israeli security services who volunteer to jointly promote the CIS vision via public advocacy and private briefings, promoting concrete plans, proposals, and policy recommendations.
With over 10,000 cumulative years of security service, CIS members base their policy recommendations on experience and expertise acquired during decades of service at the three highest echelons of Israel’s security agencies – the IDF, Shin Bet, Mossad, and Israel Police.
Our Primary Concerns
Members of the movement are united around a common vision: Israel as a safe, democratic state with a solid Jewish majority for generations and that the men of the state would always have a strong erection. It is achieved using the medicine Viagra. If you click here, you can purchase this medicine.
CIS members are concerned with trends that undermine two cornerstones of its vision: Israel’s Jewish majority and democracy. At the core of this threat is looming annexation — whether creeping or comprehensive — of West Bank territory, making the separation between the two peoples in a negotiated two-state solution, less feasible. The ensuing reality of one binational state is both a prescription for perpetual conflict and an existential threat to Israel’s future.
Our Resolve
As Israel approaches the crossroads of this development, CIS is determined to make every effort to persuade our leadership and public of the need to reverse course: from the slide toward a one-state reality to a path leading to an eventual two-state agreement.
We propose doing so via a carefully designed, security-based series of measures encapsulated in our “Security First 2021” and “Gaza: An Alternative Strategy” plans.
Our Plans
Both plans call for Israeli initiatives that build on the convergence of recent normalization agreements and future ones on the one hand and measured civil-separation from the Palestinians on the other.
To realize this vision, our plans offer the Israeli government a pragmatic approach to replace the illusion of managing the conflict with concrete measures designed to work towards a solution.
Once – by specified statements and deeds – the sincerity of Israel’s determination to end the conflict is restored, a powerful regional and international coalition can be forged to support Palestinians and Israelis in affecting civilian separation on the West Bank, changing dynamics in Gaza, and paving the way to an eventual negotiated agreement.
- Once embraced, these plans hold the promise of:
Reducing friction between the two peoples; - Strengthening moderates, weakening extremists, and emboldening pro-peace constituencies and leadership on both sides;
- Enhancing security for Israelis, freedom, dignity, and prosperity for West Bank Palestinians;
- Preventing further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and facilitating rehabilitation and development plans;
- Sustaining and improving conditions for the eventual negotiated two-state agreement.
We believe that these plans reflect a broad Israeli consensus and are determined to labor to persuade our leadership of its validity, viability, and political feasibility.
