Conspiracy!

http://secretebase.free.fr/complots / 11septembre/11septembre.htm In terms of knowing who ordered the dynamiting of the WTC towers and the partial destruction of the pentagon, I did not give specific names, of course, but logically, it would government at the time, ie the Bush administration. Who exactly that, I do not know but the FBI is also involved, as I have already implied in any of my previous articles on September 11, and maybe (probably), some U.S. military since question, is dynamite and cruise missiles! I also read on the net, that Condoleezza Rice would have prevented one of his friends not to fly that day! A you draw your own conclusions! But I think what I gather, is that some members of government were - if not all the instigators of this project for the destruction - they were, therefore, at least, aware what would happen! In short, planes or did they not crashed into the World Trade Center or not, in light of this new information .....? In any case, what is certain is that dark secrets are hidden from us, And the lies we are "unveiled" eFront! Such as weapons of mass destruction held by some countries as, for example, some video we see a pseudo bin Laden accusing the September 11, When you look at the video, we see that The man in question is a gold ring on his right hand and then two anomalies: First, according to the religion of bin Laden It is forbidden to wear gold! Secondly, the real Bin Laden is left handed! In short, a video from Al Jazeera two days after Sept. 11, one can see the real bin Laden who denies being the perpetrator of the September 11 attacks and the government says it is us who wanted him to wear the hat. On the other hand, also read ON THE NET, the FBI would quietly went to visit bin Laden in the hospital, whereas it was supposed to be on the run (hiding in caves!) Maybe they agreed with him of an agreement, so it does not reveal the truth ...... ? In short, once again, all this remains mysterious! It y ' also the case of the so-called terrorist suicide bombers who have led the Boeing on the WTC and the Pentagon; Each of these suicide bombers-(supposed to be dead, then!) accused by the FBI are - according to my sources Internet - yet live in their country and continue, each with its normal activities in their work and family life !.... There's also a hostess who called authorities to say that (supposedly!) around it everywhere on the plane, terrorists were trying to stab his colleagues, or even when she spoke! And if you had heard her voice perfectly calm! It was amazing to listen to the horrors she described the tone and serene she had! It also Y'avait (so-called) telephone calls farewell future victims, their families, on the plane, pa r phones; I say "supposedly" because an experiment been made and following this, it was proved that it was impossible for people who were on the plane can make phone calls, which result, through their mobile phones! Therefore, these calls were not passed since the plane; Maybe they were forced to pass these calls, but they could not be on the plane In full flight at the time of their calls! And I know, always INTERNET that the U.S. military or the FBI have a kind of software that can perfectly imitate the voice of the people! Now, let's see what are the motivations for starting Sept. 11, I mentioned the Bush administration, condolizza of rice, the FBI and the U.S. military, but the Illuminati could also be involved because, as some of us , have can be heard talking, they find that there are too many people on the planet! And the catastrophe of September 11 has dramatically eliminated a good amount of human beings! We also know, the bible Islands will be brought to disappear (maybe, as a result of tsunamis - see previous article!) Anyway, it should also do well from the dead! And what of the many air disasters which one of them has dailleurs many deaths in Martinique, it was not that long ..... When you know that HAARP is capable of controlling the aircraft Flight ..... How to become (rightly) paranoid! Other motivations, apart from removing a portion of the human population: Destroy some incriminating files that were in the WTC, on many computers! Other reasons again: Put It All on the back of bin Laden and some Arab countries to have, then, a justification for continuing to make war (and one of the reasons for war: oil!) Other reasons yet to 11th September: create fear, by which it is so easy to control people! GOD forbid!

And I put the blood of the lamb, which is JESUS CHRIST on my whole blog!

A current cons

Translated from Hebrew by Meir Ben-Hayoun

Interview of Major General Moshe Yéelon Laurd by Amnon Katz and Gilad appeared in the Israeli weekly Makor Rishon's Friday, October 3, 2008. Arrived at the top of the pyramid military IDF Moshe Yéelon was appointed Chief of Staff of the IDF in 2002. Its mandate has not been not renewed for a further year in 2005, three months before Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip. (Audios since 1948, all the chiefs of Staff were treated to an extra year, with the exception of David Eleazar forced to resign after the publication of the findings of the Agranat Commission - Eleazar died of cardiac arrest a few months after the war Yom Kippur).

"There are amazing people in all units state, but there are also some who threaten, who lowered, who resign before their moral duty, which deviate from the straight path. " In his new book, Moshe Yéelon virulently critical process of political decision-making when he was head of Military Intelligence and head of the General Staff of the IDF, not without omitting to mention names. According to him, Rabin would have stopped the Oslo process had he not been assassinated. According Yéelon, the "Farm Forum" (audios with reference to the entourage of Prime Minister Sharon is bringing periodically at the farm belonging to the latter sycamores) tried to impose to appoint to key positions of incapacitated persons in exchange for his continued as Chief of Staff for another year. Enter politics? "I will vote when we announce new elections," he replies.

Moshe (Boggy) Yéelon began writing his new book "A long and short route" computer. When he realized that his thinking was done to the rhythm of writing, he began to write in pencil on sheets of draft, more conventional method better suited to that member of Kibbutz Groff (audios kibbutz in southern Arava few kilometers north of Eilat) floor of Israeli traditional sandals called "biblical". The interview was held at his request, early in the morning. In his modest office of the Shalem Center, the atmosphere is friendly, in keeping with the pastoral environment of Katamon neighborhood of Jerusalem that can be seen from the windows. On his table work, two thick volumes are open, and beside a large glass of water and a cup of coffee. Yéelon income civilian life, the top button of his shirt open, he welcomes us unceremoniously. Its very simple attitude for a man like him, does nothing to guess its rich military past. Above a collection of various journals, sits his recent book "a long and short route."

Yéelon recounts the last fifteen years he has been exposed closely to the processes of decision making at the highest level in Israel. Since he was appointed Commander of IDF forces in Judea and Samaria in 1992, then as chief of Military Intelligence, Deputy Chief of Staff, and then, finally, Chief of Staff from 2002 - 2005. It is a very worrying picture that emerges from the underlying processes of decision making that produced the events that we know. " Analyses from me that I was extremely painful" he writes in the introduction to his book. "I thought I should share this to the people of Israel, or more exactly with those for whom the Zionist enterprise is of paramount importance and that the existence of a Jewish national home is imperative." And he continues : "I felt a deep uneasiness, when I realized during my last years in the service of the army, that the findings that I had not have done it their rightful place in Israeli public debate - debate strongly influenced by the interests of elites and ruling circles of the Israeli society, and culture of the rating and spin. "

My awareness

"The direct cause of degradation of the strategic status of Israel against the Palestinians was the unfortunate decision, shocking and inexplicable Disengagement of the Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. In my case, I have no doubt that Sharon's decision proceeded from unstated considerations. When he found himself in trouble after police investigations which he had suffered. While he was also distressed at its policy consecutive decline in popularity, Sharon decided to "turn the table" and to initiate a dramatic move in total contradiction with its design and with his political vision. " (Page 157)

Mr. Yéelon, the picture that emerges from your book is that of a total decay of power in Israel, when people arrive incompetent and corrupt at the top. May have described this phenomenon as "capital-to-media"?

"It's not just that. That's all that our society has projected into disarray, or even beyond, the last fifteen years.

You mean the Israeli society or the elites?

"In society in general, too, because it is strongly influenced by public debate. Israeli society is subject to the politicians who he erected golden calves and deluding or in their own words, sell him "the hope for peace"

So, who do you turn?

"I appeal to the general public which is in principle the sovereign. The people who elect their representatives and who does what the media wants to offer him. I am also talking to myself. In the book, I describe the process of my awareness of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I come from a household that supported the idea of territorial compromise. The party workers of Eretz Israel, Kiryat Haim (proletarian suburbs north of Haifa), the daily Davar (daily working of the Zionist left), the movement "Hanoar Haoved VeHaLomed" (Zionist youth movement on the left). When the Oslo accords were signed, I was in favor. I considered them an opportunity to achieve peace and security. I'm sincerely. When I took office as Commander of Military Intelligence and I started to see things a little closer, I grabbed it there was a trap and we face is veiled not to see. Apparently, we discussed the solution to the conflict and de facto, we evaded the question of what the real problem.
"When you look closely at why such a thing happens, then yes, this is the trinity capital-to-media" and all this corruption. Fortunately, today we'll take care a little more than during the end of my tenure as Chief of Staff. When I asked what kept me from sleep a wink the night as Chief of Staff, they imagined that I would answer "the bomb Iranian ". I answered: "corruption." It is important to understand what enables elite "capital-to-media" to party and to mislead the public. "

Or maybe these elites have faith in it and have not yet realized as you? Ask the question differently. You say in your book that if Rabin had not been assassinated, he would have rejected the confrontation at a later date. You expect that at some point or another, it would have ruled on the matter and that Israel is engaging in a confrontation with the Palestinians?

"Absolutely. Returning for a moment with the principles of Western thought which is that every problem has a solution. That is why it is easy to manipulate Israeli society and to affirm that the solution is at hand and everything to do at the moment, these are compromises: it disengages the Gaza Strip and it will be quiet - we withdraw from Judea and Samaria, and we cut the grass under the feet of Palestinian demands. In fact, with withdrawals in recent years, since the withdrawal from southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip, we see that the extremists what I call Islamic 'Jihad' has increased. All this talk makes the public swallow this lie huge golden calf and vain hopes, has succeeded in his business. In my book, I address the citizen that has fed him for lies he carefully observes the reality as I saw it. Of course, I hope it will have an impact on politics and the media. They are not even about all corrupt - but first, I address the confused Israeli citizen. "

Could you point the finger to the event that triggered this in your awareness?

"It was a long process, but one could say that it happened when I was commander of military intelligence. I diagnosed a marked discrepancy between the claims of the media and what I read in the intelligence reports. This distorted pushed me to wonder about the peace process. When the Oslo accords were signed, I was commander of the training complex Tséelim, I was not yet exposed to sources of information except what we were willing to tell the media. "

What do you mean by "distortion"?

"In my book, I relate a conversation with Prime Minister Rabin in August 1995, two months after taking office with military intelligence. It was a fortnightly meeting, routine between Prime Minister and the Chief Intelligence. It exchanging assessments, information and there is updates. So I exposed the head of government Rabin my strategic assessment. I told him: "Mr. Prime Minister, I am in the duty to inform you about the discrepancy between the way that Arafat is presented to us, as a leader determined to reach a territorial compromise in the 1967 borders and that I see on the ground in his rhetoric for internal use in the content of Palestinian media - and worst - in the school curriculum under its exclusive control. After Oslo, I would have expected that the Palestinian education system to recognize the State of Israel as a Jewish state. This is not what happens. It Just the opposite. There is denial of increasingly radical of any link between the Jewish People and the Land of Israel. There are no sacred sites for Jews throughout the country. The State of Israel does not appear at all on their maps. Acre, Jaffa and Haifa are for them Palestinian port cities and Tel Aviv is a colony. "

What was the reaction of Rabin?

" I have to remember that These remarks were made while in the background there were explosions bus home, something Arafat could have prevented but did nothing. I say this with full knowledge of things. De facto, Hamas had defied him and had not hesitated to "go inside". One of the most famous was when Arafat was captured four senior Hamas officials and shaved half his mustache and beard. So that it infringed their honor. In codes of Arab culture, it is considered more serious than death. Throughout the process, successive U.S. secretaries of State, Warren Christopher, Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell were anxious to know why Arafat was not fighting terrorism : Was it a matter of will or could. During my presentation to the Prime Minister, Warren Christopher (audios Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the first term of the Clinton administration) asked me the question again. I told him clearly: "This is due to the unwillingness of Arafat." Yet Arafat did nothing to fear from Hamas. He even sometimes enforces its activists. "

At this stage of the interview, the tone calm and monotone Yéelon rises. One feels that he suffers to this day. We remind him that Madeleine Albright asserted that "Arafat is one hundred percent effort, but what it does not collect one hundred percent success." This remark seems to confirm his statements. "It is true that she said that after the attack on the cafe 'Apropo' in Tel Aviv in 1997. It is naive American who puts me out of me. However, it is also true that we dispense Israeli Arafat from all liability. In fact, it meant: "we will make peace as if there is no terrorism?" Washed and the Palestinian leader of any responsibility he handles terrorism. And in fact, I know from my position as commander Intelligence that is deeply involved in terrorism. "

"So back to work meeting with Rabin. After having exposed this distortion on Arafat so-called peace partner, but in reality conductor of terrorism on the ground, he asked me: "Good! What do you suggest we do? "I replied," of a strictly military point of view, we must stop the Oslo process and stop sweeping problems under the rug. "In retrospect, it was found to sweep problems under the carpet and non-application of agreements by Palestinians had begun as soon as Arafat arrived in Gaza in May 1994, where he had hidden in his car on terrorist Mohamad Amarin we had banned the entry into the country, as well as RPG-style weapons that were prohibited insert - still according to the Oslo accords. It was also found when I was still the commander of the base Tséelim, the army demanded the strict application of agreements and political leadership was responding: "we do not assume any state crisis at the moment. " And so we closed our eyes to transgression after transgression. That's why I told Rabin that he was freezing the Oslo process to understand that Arafat had to clean his house. "

And what was the response of Rabin?

He said: "You're right, but what? The Palestinian Authority is on the verge of electing its President. I will present their ultimatum immediately after their election" . As we recall, Rabin was assassinated in November 1995 and after, it was only management "I-me-largely unpolished. This is where my awareness began. But I have to confess that I regret a lot of things. At a meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence to the Knesset in 1994, I was surprised by the unpreparedness member Benny Begin (audios son of the late Menachem Begin, then-Likud MK) I quote the speech Arafat that year in Johannesburg (Arafat compared the Oslo agreements of the treaty that the Prophet Muhammad Houdaybeh signed while he was in a state of inferiority to the tribe Koreish, while having intention of infringing upon that would end in a strong position. AL and GK). At the height of the festival in Oslo before the assassination of Rabin, well before the pretexts of "who killed the peace?" This quote took me by surprise, me, commander of military intelligence. I was in a rage against the people of my services. How this quotation was able to escape all that was available for all? "

At this point, you criticize the head of Shabak (audios Department of Homeland Security) at the time, Ami Ayalon and you say it would, somehow swept under the table the report Strategic Analysis of the research section of its service.

I would first say that I was forced to name names in my book. This is not a personal problem to such and such, but the spread of this syndrome to become an epidemic. It is in a state system that drives straight into a clear political objective and which evades analysis of military intelligence. Within military intelligence, then there was people like Yaakov Amidror who was head of the department Research, then Amos Gilad (later chief of HQ-political strategic estimate) and Yossi Copperwasser. To my satisfaction, even during the Second Lebanon War, the commander of the department "Search" explained Yossi Baïditz openly analysis. They are honest people who do not hesitate to put cards on the table and expose their analysis without fear. Political leadership may accept or reject their vision of things. It is quite legitimate for political leaders reject the analysis of military intelligence because they have set a definite goal. In any case the "captain" may itself affect on reality and wanting to turn - but what I criticize is the tendency to ignore our information and analysis. Even within the military intelligence service, was arrived at to avoid the information not to displease the political system because it had taken a clear policy path, not to deviate in any way. "

One moment, you would like to say that military intelligence service, some people have deliberately ignored some type of information?

"I think yes. It happens. We're actually in a system whose political leadership is located above one of us has already decided which direction to take, so there is no temptation to say that what some ears want to hear. "

You mean there lack of professionalism?

"Lack of professional integrity! It happens. Fortunately, this was not the case for all and specifically at the top of the system. As for Ami Ayalon, in my book I describe some events that I felt that his professional analysis was largely the result of design policy (it is from the same political crucible than mine) - despite the fact that within the Service, things were perceived in a diametrically opposite.
The most striking example was the "green light", one year after the attacks in February-March 1996. A year after Hamas had taken the strategic decision to stop suicide bombings. On the night of 9 March AU10, Arafat had met all the senior leaders of terrorist organizations. Towards the end of the meeting, everyone, including Razi Djebali, the commander of the Palestinian police had seized Arafat wanted a wave of attacks. It is important understand that there is no clear and explicit order "will make me the attacks." Besides, I would like to cite the book by Professor Yigal Eilam: "The executors of orders", which explains why even in Hitler, there was no explicit order to implement the "final solution". But there were so-called "state of mind of the commander." Everyone knows exactly what Arafat wants. Even in September 2000, there was no clear order to break the new intifada, but Marwan Berghoutti knew very well that Arafat wanted. There is a book of Arafat aide, Mamdouh Nofel, explaining very how well the president of the PA has initiated and led the Palestinian terror war.
So, going back to March 1997, the day after the meeting with Arafat, is engaged momentum after which Hamas carries out attacks. The first attack took place eleven days later at the Cafe Apropo (audios in Tel Aviv). Then, on 1 April, the Islamic Jihad attack in Kfar Darom, which fortunately failed attack made no victim. Razi Djebali (audios then leader of the Palestinian police) recruited two teams controlled by two police colonels, one of Shechem (Nablus) and the other from Tulkarem. First Team has executed an attack against Rabbi Eliakim Levanon, Rabbi of Elon Moreh settlement at the crossroads 'Asqarim'. On the way to perpetuate a second attack in the Har bracha, this team of terrorists has been intercepted by our forces. At this stage it appeared that whoever had sent the colonel was under the direct orders of Djebali. And that was above Djebali? No other Arafat in person! And here, we downplayed the thing for the sweep of hand. From there I came to the conclusion, as head of military intelligence, that Arafat had given the green light for attacks. To my great regret, Ami Ayalon, the head of Shabak argued the opposite. "

It is not pleasant to say this, but every child in first grade in the settlements of Judea, Samaria and Gaza knew a priori what you have discovered much later as commander of Military Intelligence. Did they see reality as it was?

"It is important to understand that there is an essential component that escapes the eyes of the intelligence chief, is the Israeli side. For example, the political leadership in Israel can and is entitled to say that she goes to a "New Middle East". It is a question of approach, vision of the world. A leader can also declare: "It is true, it is reality as you perceive as intelligence chief, but I'll change." So it is a bit simplistic to say that a child has understood the settlements. It is very important, leadership in Israel who takes the initiative to actively engage transitions rather than passively.
other hand, it's true, I am sorry I was mistaken. I should have put a lot of exclamation points earlier. I started to put them only as from October 4, 2000 at the meeting (Ehud) Barak, Arafat and Madeleine Albright in Paris. Already in 1999, when I was commander of the Central Region, I found that Arafat would open hostilities in September 2000, he was making preparations. And yet, while we were debating about what Arafat wanted to achieve by initiating this war. Did he intend to get a Palestinian state with 1967 borders without receiving willingly on a silver platter but through fire and blood for what he believed be honored Palestinian Arab? Or did he simply not reach a compromise based on the principle of two states for two peoples? In my view, this internal debate has taken so late that October 4, 2000 in Paris, where Arafat Debina of a proposed cease-fire. I understood that the die was cast, that everything was just a house of cards and in fact he applied the "strategy of stages" well known.
However, even after I put exclamation points and the professional leadership of the army had decided that it was Arafat who had decided to call this terrible war, I found myself in the cabinet where I replied: 'What are you saying? What do you do if Arafat a strategist. It's a poor guy who controls nothing. We need to strengthen its leadership. "So imagine what you feel Arafat? He opened the war has given the green light to terrorist attacks. He knows that we know and despite that, he sees the Israeli political leadership treat with respect as a partner for peace. None of this made him an effect of weakness on our part. "

Were you aware that this war would last as long? Why Operation 'Defensive Shield' was initiated after a year and a half wave of terrible attacks against Israeli civilians?

"It is precisely this point that I had a very harsh criticism against the political leadership. On a number of points were the same people. I also harshly critical of Shimon Peres on this point. He was the leader of this line of saying that Arafat should be strengthened since September 2000. Those who pursue the policy that led Taba negotiations (audios in October 2000, at the beginning of hostilities and attacks), and Peres was also the people around Barak. Even after the bombing of the Dolphinarium (audios in June 2001, bombing that caused many victims in this night club in Tel Aviv), during a government meeting, we discussed the possibility initiate military action spread. Whoever has this operation was prevented Peres with the help of German Foreign Minister, Joschka Fischer, who was then in Israel. Israel had asked
Arafat to summon to appear before television cameras and call for the cessation of terrorist attacks. Therefore, Peres had persuaded the government not to engage in military action. The decision was not to identify Arafat as an enemy when he controlled and supported terrorism. We therefore expected that Arafat presented himself on live television the same evening at scheduled time to proclaim a cease-fire. Meanwhile, Miguel Moratinos (audios statesman English, European Union envoy to the Middle East) was at home. They are both appeared before the cameras Moratinos and only spoke when Arafat was at his side and did not utter a word. What does this mean for the Palestinian public? Arafat continued to support terrorism!
Only after the bombing at the Park Hotel in Netanya (ndtl: the bombing the deadliest 30 victims who made the evening of the Passover Seder in March 2002) Peres Arafat called it an enemy. What had changed in the meantime? At Arafat, nothing. The only difference, I regret to say, were the hundreds of victims of the attacks that had added. And even if Peres had voted in favor of Operation Defensive Shield, instead of exploiting his prestige on the international stage to denounce Arafat as one who has deceived his world, he only minimize the role of the latter. And so until today. After all these failures, we do not condemn the Palestinians so clear. I realize you can not change at all while the approach of the people who were made to swallow the lies of peace and hope. "

In fact, what you're saying is that everything is just playing politics? Prime Minister ministers, the director of Shin Bet?

There are excellent people in all units of state, but there are undoubtedly people who come down, which compromises, which deviate from the straight path. In absolute numbers, the State staff that I ordered, I can say that there were two or three people like this, a total of twenty four, which in my opinion, crossed the line in getting into bed with politicians or journalists. The problem starts with the corrupt political system: that is where we find these people because with them we can "steal horses. "There are not a majority, but the decay they generate is dangerous and it spreads."

Is Dan Halutz has suffered such a process in contact with politicians?

"I am speaking generally. When I reached the rank of brigadier general, I grasped that the temptations are very strong for a superior officer. They can come from two directions. First, by binding politicians, because ultimately it is they who decide who will be promoted or not will not, who will become Chief of Staff. Second temptation to bind media people. You give them classified information and then they write flattering things about you. If you stick to withholding officer, then you wrote about things that are not very flattering. That is why I believe that senior officers should observe an "ethics of the high command." "Tell your professional opinion fearlessly, but does not stick to that. You were not elected and are not part of the executive. Do not criticize a government decision publicly after she was shot." We do not have that kind of thing when wearing the uniform. Despite my opposition to the disengagement, I've never publicly exposed. "

Despite your very hard and very critical, even as you reach the top of the pyramid. It turns out we can do differently?

"Sure. What I mean is that the officers' actions speak for themselves. "

On the other hand, you say you have been selected to be chief of staff because the "Farm Forum" did not know how you take?

"If I read the card then, the 'forum closed down really did not want me as Chief of Staff. There was even talk in the media. In my opinion, if Dan Halutz did not bed with the 'forum closed down, Gaby Ashkenazy was appointed chief of staff after me. It does not alter the fact that Halutz was an excellent commander in chief of the Air Force. "

Gaby Ashkenazy did a crony of person in politics?

"Here! You see, we can achieve peaks without being "pulled strings". Everyone is not "pulled strings". But I mention this because, what? At one time "the wicked have prevailed." It was one of my confrontations with the "Farm Forum", that is to say one of the subforums of "forum of the farm" who took care of these things: Ariel Sharon His son Omri and Master Dov Weissglass, others much less. "

Eyal Arad was not involved in the appointments?

"No, he was responsible for marketing the disengagement plan and other proposals of the same ilk. The decision of disengagement has been taken in this forum and not in a professional forum. "
's appointment Qarad (audios named Super Intendant General of Police on August 1, 2004 .... And forced to resign following the conclusions of the Commission on Organized Crime Zeiler on 1 May 2007) was a red light on what would happen within the General Staff?

"I would not go into details of the appointment of Qarad, especially since he is not guilty of his own appointment. In my opinion, he was not involved in this complicity. The entire top of the police was then beheaded. And there is no doubt that this was a warning about the appointments to the General Staff of the IDF.

a minute, you mean also the minister of internal security at the time, Tzachi Hanegbi?

"Absolutely! He was the minister of internal security and he was in cahoots with Omri Sharon. "

Now, how do you see the Sharon Era? A bygone period of darkness or a way to manage the affairs state that endures?

"In the army, there are two phenomena that would completely reverse - bullying and relationships between old and new recruits. These phenomena, I rate them in what I call "delinquent subculture". The policy of the military is very clear on this: bullying is prohibited and shall not create a situation where, in companies of veterans, new recruits become the servants of the oldest. But what? The heart of man that sometimes such phenomena arise. There are always bad instincts that persist. In the context of corruption, there is constant struggle between "good" and "wicked". I feel like the culmination of the struggle against corruption in office was when I was chief of staff at the time of Sharon. "

Sharon, he was the head of a "delinquent subculture"?

"We all remember the corruption. These investigations were never completed. Things for which I suspect unstated considerations, including the decision the disengagement. But before that, the question on Jericho and the casino and the issue of energy. I felt something very smelly in all this, especially for things about me. I sensed that the considerations were irrelevant, but I could not provide evidence. For this, when I hung up the uniform, I was more worried today, because the legal system today, despite attempts to weaken it, responded. The prosecution, police and even the public are now aware of this problem. "

Lately you also mentioned that the policy of Israel in Gaza would be influenced by considerations regarding the relationship with the British Gas company.

"Absolutely, I sent several questions about Israeli policy in Gaza, even if not related to British Gas. Also on Israeli policy on the subject of agreements with British Gas. "

You refer to the interference of Martin Schlaff? (Audios billionaire Austrian Jew, a partner of the casino in Jericho, close to Israeli figures and leading Palestinian and linked to British Gas)

long as there was that Martin Schlaff. In what concerns to speak in military jargon, there is no doubt that stormed the office of Prime Minister. Since the assassination of Rabin, we have seen figures from Office of the Prime Minister who have joined him. The first was Shimon Sheva (audios Chief of Staff Rabin). Then came the turn of Avigdor Lieberman Netanyahu when he left to join Schlaff for business and Dov Weissglass Sharon returned home when he was the lawyer's interests Schlaff for everything concerning Casino Austria. In 2003, as Chief of Staff, I discovered that there had been some irregularities in the considerations put Jericho in Abu Mazen. Not the decision itself, which was taken in a professional, but the manner with which this award was made and the locations to deploy checkpoints. I asked these questions and have caused an uproar. Ultimately, my stance has been adopted. But we can not escape the impression that in this process, something was not right. "

Pending good platform

With your permission, some "politicking". Would you be willing to take on your responsibilities and policy functions at a national level?

There are two areas: leadership and education. On education, I'm already today. When the leadership, I suggest ideas for the entire political leadership in the book I wrote, in articles and in my lectures. I'm not naive. I am aware that the only way to influence it by the policy - the executive or legislative branches. We know that decisions are not taken or Shalem Center a particular research institute. The truth is that I am not keen to get into politics. From my past experience, I would not particularly relishes this area. Moreover, today, politics has a negative selection in the State of Israel, unlike the army, which selects the best units for prestige.

Could you clarify?

If, to succeed in politics you have to do with cronyism wealthiest tycoons and with the press, I have nothing to do with it. Never, I will cronyism with these elements.

You speak of Olmert? Livni? Barak?

"There is no question of any particular personality. A Prime Minister is the subject of many investigations, it is clear that there is corruption. All these investigations have to be as large as. How could he be linked in this way to big bucks? And with the press or any media controlled by large fortunes, which is not always compatible with the vital interests of the State of Israel? So the problem in all its severity. And thus, a political leader, instead of leading the destinies the country, it is he who is led by the nose. So the current political system promotes people linked to large fortunes. I know very well that I will have to pay for something that I am there, that these words will attract lightning, but I have nothing to do. What concerns me is the State of Israel and I am ready to give my life for him. I'm still ready to leap and make the assault on our country.
If I reach the conclusion that there is no satisfactory political platform, I'm not ready to play by the rules in force, then perhaps it is better than I stay outside and I limit myself to only provide recommendations? "

For now, you do not disqualify the possibility to make your entry into politics?

"If I find the right platform, where I would not be satisfied to be a player again, but where I could influence, well then, we may consider this a positive event."

You talk about the Likud?

"I outlined the range of my dilemmas. It is enough. "

When will you decide?

"It is clear that when the next election will be announced, I must say. Certainly not before. "

Do Is not it strange that just a political party which is not that your pot, you want as you see the join?

"It's strange and not strange to me at the same time. Meanwhile, in my political crucible, it ignores me royally. It did point me weird because I know what's going on there. Professor Amnon Rubinstein of Shinui party, left politician, said Recently in an interview to the question: "What do you get it? Have you moved right?" He replied "Not at all! I stayed where I have always been, but everyone has moved to port.

Could you build a new political framework?

"I really do not want to address this issue."

Are you in contact and mutual counsel together, you with your policies?

"I try to avoid that. When you contact me to know my views, the response is that I will not talk politics until I decided to enter politics and if we want to know my positions as a former professional soldier, I am ready to expose them. "

Some people say that you are full of bitterness because your appointment as Chief of Staff has not been renewed for another year and therefore you spit fire and lightning on the establishment. For these people, your book is proof.

"The reactions to my comments are Pavlovian, in order to disqualify me. Firstly, I am not put to beg For the fourth year in the same way that I have begged one to be appointed Chief of Staff and I've never formed a pressure group. I presented things clearly: "If you want me, I'm here. If you do not want me, I what to do." It's the same sentence I repeat since I got into the professional army and I said even when I was Chief of Staff. I finished my third year for what I am and what I said and all this with complete lucidity. "
It became more acute in early 2005 when I gave my opinion on the Disengagement and also on the appointments that I describe as an integral part of the corruption process. I said while I make no appointment as I do not know if I'm Chief of Staff for the following year. This has been a source of conflict when they tried to pressure me to name some well-connected people in exchange for a fourth year as Chief of Staff. I stopped it with all my weight. The confrontation was inevitable. If I had been compromised, or if I had "stolen horse" by ignoring these harmful aspects, would I have faced no problems. I returned in conflict with Prime Minister Sharon. It was he who led it, despite the influence of other people because his health began to decline. "

In your book you write that you thought then submit your resignation, but you've given up for fear that this is perceived as an attempt to overthrow military. Is there a time when even a Chief of Staff to resign?

"Of course! If an order is illegal, it is their duty to resign. On the other hand, if there is concern that a maneuver can cause serious injury to the State of Israel and that to resign to stop it, then we must do. If I felt that my resignation would be able to stop the disengagement, I would have resigned, without equivocation. However, I knew that my resignation would have made illegitimate, and rightly so to some extent, as if I was positioned as the number one insubordinate.
Such resignation could have an impact in a political system functioning, balanced and controlled. The media would have awakened and aroused deep public debate on decisions taken. But in the not very "sloppy" I described above, this would not have happened. Instead, they would have de-legitimized in the public square and I would have been thrown to the dustbin of history as the Chief of Staff who has attempted a coup without touching the whys and wherefores of the matter . For that reason, telling me that I should succeed in doing so to stop this process, I was not allowed to resign because he is a price to any undemocratic maneuver.

So today, You thank the Creator for not being one who was at the head of the military pyramid to implement the Disengagement?

"In my book, I wrote that night when I was informed that my term ended, I felt a great relief."

But if you had been renewed for a fourth year, you would have found to implement the disengagement in which you were so opposed?

"I'll have done my best, so as to cause the least damage possible to the people of Israel."

And what is your successor?

"I think so, at least in this respect the army. I consider that the link between senior officers of the army and the settlers did not prevent damage completely, but still managed to reduce the fracture. Look at the difference between the disengagement and the evacuation of Amona brutal ".

Many people believe that Amun was the consequence of the relative passivity of the evacuees in the implementation of the Disengagement.

"I do not think so. In my opinion, Amona, the execution of the evacuation was not good. If I had been in charge of the evacuation, I act differently, not as aggressively. "

Incidentally, there are many who argue that the failure of the Second Lebanon War resulted from the exclusive efforts devoted to the military disengagement.

"I do not accept this assertion. Disengagement of the injury was especially felt by soldiers and officers who were personally affected, especially in the public religious Zionism. However, during the Lebanon war, it was found that it is precisely this sector of the population who distinguished himself by acts of bravery and its share in lists of fallen soldiers is very important. It is an honor for the army because the IDF was able to take care of these young and did not allow the intrusion of politics in it.
For cons, the argument saying that the army too busy to disengagement has not had time to prepare as it should be the war in Lebanon is a big lie. The army was prepared for the second Lebanon war. We developed an operational plan for such a scenario since the Chief of Staff to the last soldiers. It is true that the army was overworked to the limit of its potential in various fronts, Gaza, Judea Samaria, Syria and Hezbollah. In all cases where soldiers have received orders not clear and confusing, the various units of conscripts and reservists, took over absolute on Hezbollah. The problem is that we have not operated according to the scenario that we set. We have not mobilized in time reservists and we did not deploy as necessary. It was a poor performance.
It is true that all sorts of people try to evade their responsibility and argue that it was the fault of their predecessors. But ultimately, it was a management catastrophic all combined with a lack of experience and arrogance.

In conclusion, you are now a 'concerned citizen'?

"I conclude my book with optimism. The advantage I have is that I know the younger generation. That's why I work in the field of youth education in high schools and youth movements. I know that some young people know nothing about our distant past and closer. And yet, we discover another youth involved and engaged in what's happening in the country. When Last Herzliya Conference, a study was published showing that nine out of ten Jews wish that the State of Israel is Jewish and independent and are willing to make sacrifices and even to die for it. Even within the kibbutz movement, I see these changes. In groff, the kibbutz where I live, I see a wave of change just like the one I lived. Therefore, I am optimistic. My personal opinion is that when young people come to the army, there is a crucible which transforms into a younger generation steeped in faith in the rightness of our cause, and with tremendous potential who expects nothing else that to achieve for the benefit of us all and for the State of Israel.

The identity of a people

For Manitou, Rav Yehuda Leon Ashkenazi, zatsal


Interview by Victor Malka and published in Today be Jewish, Editions du Cerf, 1984, pp.
65-75
Victor Malka: You're a Jew, a mystic. Do you recognize yourself in this name?

Manitou: The term has different mystical meanings, and I do not know that you give. This is maybe I was one of the first in France after the war to study midrash - and if not to teach, inspire me at least - and the texts of Kabbalah and to those who are not really familiar with this type of study, the term mystical is required first.

In contemporary civilization, after the great crisis of the Christian tradition in the West, and since we are talking about European languages and it permeates the formulations of Judaism in the West, there secondarisation of thought has made. It is a shame really to appear as a believer. Perhaps what we found then, in the style of my teaching, this identification. And that is what we would be indicated by the term mystic.

My own study of what are the mystics in the great cultural traditions lead me rather to identify, in a sense, experience mystical experience pagan. The mystic is someone who identifies himself more or less, to the deity itself. And I am a stranger to this kind of experience.

There is no Jewish mysticism?

I do not think so. Some Jewish mystics whose experience is internalized with great modesty at the individual level. This experience is subjective when it is allowed by tradition, but if it stands as orthodoxy, it could become a heresy.

Jewish tradition is defined as loyalty to what was prophetic revelation . But it happened so important a historical event that has disappeared from memory: the decision of the prophecy. It does not lend insufficient attention to the significance of this event. This happened long ago, and it was announced by the Hebrew prophets themselves, along with the exile of Israel and the destruction of the Temple. One can, schematically to excess, indicate three types of cultural responses in humanity to stop the prophecy. Appeared in the West philosophy. In the East, mysticism. In Israel - it is the Jewish tradition itself - there was a religious reaction in the classical sense of fidelity to what was the event of the prophecy. This event was stopped at the collective level, as experience revealed. He continues in another form at the individual level: this is what we call the inspiration of the Ruach Haqodesh . But the fact that the prophetic and mystical natures are different. In the act of prophecy - and therefore, in fidelity to the memory - there is otherness between God who speaks and the believer who listens to his speech. In mystical experience, there is confusion substances.

To hear you there would be no Jewish mystical prophet?

culture is a mistake simply to call the prophets of Israel mystics. I'm not saying we did not understand the mystical experience, but it will not fit our purpose is to know and understand what the word revealed by the creator of the world requires of His creature.

Until the seventies, you were a guru of French Judaism. From everywhere, people came to consult you. The diaspora was something important to you. Then one day you decided to relocate to Israel. Do you consider Today we can not be totally Jewish in Jerusalem?

Anyway that being Israeli. It is primarily a question of identification. Was I mentor? I do not know what that means. I was primarily an educator. The way of thinking, it's a personal experience: do not teach somebody to think. He transmits content.

The path you mention lasted some time. I realize that with the emergence of Israeli society was an important event happened in the history of our people. There are two thousand years, the Hebrew nation had been destroyed by the Roman civilization. The Jewish people, heir to the Hebrews, was born of this destruction, but with different dimensions of identity. The Hebrew nation, as the Bishop's Bible - ID of the Hebrew - is defined by a simple formula: a Hebrew is a Hebrew, perceived as such, accepting themselves as such, with its worldview ( today we would say his philosophy), his own religion, language and culture. It is a simple identity, if not live, at least to define, because it is not a problem; It was as Assyrian Hebrew and Assyrian was a Gaul, Gallic way of life ... This man had a considerable impact in the history of mankind in general. Just think, among other things for the West Christianity or Islam, for the East, who are both in their rivalry with Judaism, the impact of Hebrew history. It is at the personality and way of being human - to use the vocabulary of personalist - the Hebrew is defined.

When the Hebrew nation was destroyed, therefore emerged Jewish identity. The Jews are in fact, historically, the Judeans of the dispersion. The word means the last of the Hebrews, the members of the second kingdom of Judah. Jewish identity is a mixed identity. There has never been a "Jewish": there were only the Judeo-someone else. It is an identity composed composite, with several dimensions.

And such was our case during the last generation of exile: I am, for example, always known as a Jew born Algeria, with this aspect of Algerian identity that does not leave me, culture and French citizenship and, secondly, Hebrew by heredity, by nostalgia, by fidelity to the inner life, by culture and religion as well.

Thus the Jew has always defined it in his own fidelity in two dimensions always anachronistic: one dimension between Hebrew past, nostalgia absolute, in the hope of restoring the Hebrew and, secondly, dimension linking the future.

Now two thousand years is a long time. This was a story heroic, extremely rich. Through these two thousand years of history, Jews have become accustomed to a situation and status that were necessary for survival, but preliminary. This explains why many Jews were more than puzzled when the phenomenon of Zionism in its outcome was restored in the beginning of a story that is yet to be done, the identity of the Hebrew nation.

is why you talk about réhébraïsation?

two thousand years ago, Hebrew had become a Jew. Today, the Jew becomes Jewish, and that that the Israeli identity. It is an irreversible phenomenon at the collective level, and that when a Jew becomes aware of this irreversibility that is Israel.

Although at the individual level, and for the greatest number of Jewish people, a phenomenon that continues to exist for puzzlement. We are among many Israelis to accept as perfectly legitimate that the pace of adjustment of identity at the individual level is not the same as that of the community.

This means, in fact, that you are Hebrew and one who asks you a Jew?

We are both of Jewish origin. For me, this origin finds its legitimacy in the hebraization. On the other hand, the Jewish diaspora is the member of the same people but in history class and who is still feeling its way. In my opinion, there can be - and I'm simplifying - only two possibilities: either the rehébraïsation, and I take this term not only in the linguistic sense, although it is important, but in the sense of identity - or an adventure that we do not see very well where it may lead but we are very concerned: that of a cosmopolitan Jewish identity that would continue the story of the old diaspora.

There would be two problems: the Jew and that of the Hebrew?

For two thousand years the Jew in him that brought hope to regain the Hebrew. Today, history has made this hope in the enormous difficulties that we know and with an almost universal inquiry. And that's the indication of the importance of the event.

other hand, there is a problem which Jewish identity. The Jew can now if he wishes to regularize its identity and yet it does not. So there are obstacles in the range of interest and perplexity. ... The process that is underway is fraught with potentialities.

Yes, but in Israel too, there are Jews whose relationship with Judaism is most tenuous?

Being Jewish in Israel is confused still be free .... Is to be in the house. Being Jewish in the Diaspora perplexing is the question central to its identity.

Until 1948, the diaspora was that of the second kingdom Judah. Suddenly, the third Jewish state - Israel - appears. And there is a perpetuation of the old diaspora. What worries us, it is not so much the Jews as individuals, but organizations that are planning on them a sham ideology.

When you look at the life of Jewish communities in the Diaspora today - whether at the level of individuals or organizations that - what is striking is the silly side of this life, and the fact that no more now that Jews perplexed.

The average Israeli is more concerned about the massiveness events as matters of ideology or formal definitions. Events such as to make obsolete and fictitious ideological analysis.

This perplexity which you speak was positive before the creation of the State of Israel, but the magnitude of events that develops around this is creating for us the essential argument. The almost universal coalition against Israel is significant. It therefore takes precedence over ideological or philosophical research to know if it continues to exist a Jewish legitimacy outside the Israeli adventure.

Can one be Jewish without faith, without dogma, without God?

Insofar as it is part of the collective identity, one is aware that, whatever the individual option of atheism or taken from Jews, it is part of a whole which, it is the one of the contractors of the covenant between God and Israel in biblical terms.

The difference must be made between individual choice and collective option. I do not know if we can take stock of what separates the Israelis from the Jewish Diaspora to the problems we're talking about. There is one point which seems to me significant: the Jewish diaspora has not yet realized that the collective dimension of his people was realized. It was an object of hope, and we were talking about Jewish people, but we lived the life of fragmented communities. This collective dimension, the Israeli has done.

In our century, when the prophecy does not enlighten consciences, it is perhaps not important that the Jews do not believe in God. The key is he knows that God believes in him.

What we know, deep down, the God who revealed himself to Israel is the fact that history Israel has a special meaning .... You have to trust this people, that living the fulfillment of the promises that the prophets have made in the name of God is an option to trust in God even if we do not use the theological vocabulary.

In the last centuries of the history of Jews in the diaspora, there is a big misunderstanding that has crept into the consciences: it is a mistake to define Judaism as a religion first. Jewish identity is defined, first, like that of a people. This people, like religion, the Jewish religion.

But there is conflict - And more acute - between religious and secular in Israel?

Projecting categories opposition between church and state, clericalism, of theocracy on the reality Hebrew is illegitimate, illegitimate as also that of the project on an Islamic society.

We are now at the stage where two kinds of Jews have decided to revert Hebrew: those who have decided to no longer be Jews and those who have decided to really be able to. It is a phenomenon whose origin dates back to Emancipation. In Western Europe where there were few Jews (France, Britain, Germany, Italy, for example), Emancipation was a plausible solution. But in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe - where Jewish populations were really important - this was hardly feasible solution. In those countries where political Zionism was born, we did not let Jews assimilate, that is to say, is taken from Jews.
A solution is apparent: it was to restore the Jewish nation.

You confirm that Zionism has, in one way or another, taken from Jews Judaism?

Undeniably. Maybe it was the price to pay to make this change? There is a reason that illuminates the struggle between religious and secular in Israel. Is the fact that the founders of political Zionism were alerted by the risk of extinction of the Jewish people in European civilization. They found as an obstacle to their project, the traditional synagogue. The symbiosis of Jews with the outside world was so strong, it was so ingrained in society, it was believed that the persecution which lay ahead were one episode among many, and they could pass through without too much difficulty.

So the founders of political Zionism, in their majority, had to oppose the traditional synagogue. In other words, to save the Jews, they had to destroy communities. The reaction of the rabbis was inevitable: they were opposed to Zionism they saw as a company taken from Jews.

It looks like a tragedy: the rabbis accused the Zionists to lose the soul of the Jewish and Zionist rabbis accused of losing their bodies. He had to destroy to save Judaism Jews. Of this issue, we are still paying for today.

should consider this: there is a kind of mutual hatred that underlies the relationship between religious and nonreligious. As leaders of the two currents will stem not and do not discover what they all have in common and that is much greater than what divides them - we live this Kulturkampf.

This dialogue, you think it possible?

He begins to take place in Israeli society since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. We realized that both sides had a common condition, in the existentialist sense of the word. It was at this time born the phrase "Israel as a Jewish state." Non-religious Israelis began to ponder the meaning of Jewish history and religion have become aware of their common destiny with those who have shaped the state.

you think, then, Judaism is not defined primarily by religion. For what type of Judaism you Involved?

There is a minimal definition that can be unanimous: we must attend to the history of that people, regardless of how each fits into it. And there may sometimes have experiences on the negative mode.

You mean being against, is a way to be for?

When is cons is that we are concerned. That said, there are levels of authenticity. There are currents of Jewish life that carry more or less, the authenticity of the community. I substitute for my part, after religious denomination, that of the Torah which clearly implies that the Jewish religion can not be qu'hébraïque. It seems to me that there were three dimensions that define our identity, which until the time of Emancipation unify. It was simultaneously the Jewish relationship to the Land of Israel, the Torah of Israel and people of Israel.

With Emancipation, these three dimensions were disjointed and fragmented. There are still many Jews who participate in three dimensions at once.

Since Emancipation, there are three types of identified Jews in history. Those who define themselves only through participation in the history of the people who prefer the religion (and these have replaced the identity of religious confession the relationship of the Torah), and finally those who assert Jews only by their relationship to the Earth, that is to say the so-called non-religious Zionists.

These three ways of being Jewish all three are legitimate. When deepen their differences, they tend to caricature and to fight.

Our people are subjected to a pressure of today's almost universal story that compels him to resist the risk of extinction.

We had to undergo three bouts, and each of these battles, Jews took advantage of the enemies of their people. First, we tried cut us off from the Torah. We survived and it's already exceptional because we came back after two thousand in Israel with the Torah under his arm. Then they tried to destroy the people, pure and simple. We're in this fight, also won. Today, we want to cut us off from our land.

There is an order of emergency, and you may find it paradoxical that a rabbi tell you that the order of urgency these days, it is not the Torah but the identity of the people and the land, behind which the Torah can be genuine.

But there are Jews today in diaspora, who have no connection either with the Torah, nor the land nor the people of Israel.

This is not new in our history. These Jews highlight the problem of special responsibility worn by rabbis. They too stand in positions that seem to us, seen by Israel, too archaic. If educators were telling the truth to the Jews of the diaspora by explaining that the story is initially that of a nation - and not an appendage of cultural or religious - Jewish consciousness could regain its authenticity.

You not shocked by the fact that most of those who are speaking today on behalf of Judaism in the Diaspora are men detached from any Jewish culture?

Judaism is not an ideology. This is not the cosmopolitan, widespread phenomenon today. There are two thousand years, Christianity has been defined as a religion after the Jewish people, but cut off from the nation of Israel.

I wonder how this cosmopolitan ideology of the diaspora does not present a parallel direction. That is to say identity of Jewish origin but cut the nation Jewish.

What is wrong cosmopolitanism?

It is foreign to Judaism, in that it is defined as not part of any nation. Judaism, it is a nation among the other but with a universal vocation.

As a Sephardic Jew, you are claiming any specificity in the panorama of Jewish today?

Absolutely. I think the bifurcation caused by the Exile did exist two types of Jews. The identity of the Ashkenazi Jew has formulated and expressed in the world of Christian civilization. Sephardic Jew was that of conducted in the Islamic world.

There is a pattern with important biblical Israel, with Ishmael, Isaac's. In Esau is Jacob.
The problem with respect to the non-Jew is different, therefore, as is a Sephardi or Ashkenazi. We were arrested in countries Sephardic, the Muslim who, vis-à-vis Israel conflict on the earth and not heaven. In Ashkenazi countries, we were challenged by the Christian. But the conflict - seriously - of Christianity with Judaism on the sky. Thus the civilization

Christian-they get used to grant citizenship to their Jewish policy, but did they place the Jews in the paradise of the elect? Conversely, the Muslim knows that the sky belongs to the people of Abraham, but he has no place on earth. These two identities have a very long history and rich. They exist and we can not cancel by simple decree. However, they still

identities of exile. As an Israeli who came from the diaspora, I stay all my life, one hundred percent, Sephardic. But I know my children will recognize as an "origin" Sephardic. You

sometimes he feared for the future of Diaspora Jews, faced with the vitality of assimilation, for name changes and sometimes conversions?

For a traditional Jew, the identity of a Jew, whatever his way of connecting to Judaism, is a precious commodity. We are a nation of survivors. And whenever we think of these waves of assimilation, we remember with sadness and concern.

It seems to me that the obstacle to that taken from Jews no longer passes today, overall, by the transmission of the so-called "Jewish values". If only because it is sometimes difficult in a particular language, to distinguish between the message of Christianity and Judaism. Many of our values are now fallen into the public domain. The obstacle to such treatment can not be that the teaching of Hebrew as a language. Away from the Hebrew, assimilation is less strong.

We are however far more worried about the risks posed by the revival of antisemitism. Whenever the cultural symbiosis of Judaism with the local civilization has succeeded, disasters have befallen the Jewish people. This was the case of Spain and Germany .... But today, the Judeo-Christian cultural symbiosis is now succeeding in America and also in Europe, especially France. What will be the outcome?

The best way to save Gilad Shalit

By Yehuda Wegman

Article published in the Mekor Rishon 25.07 .08, translated from Hebrew by Meir Ben-Hayoun.

NDLT Yehuda Wegman is a colonel in reserve. It is one the few theorists Israeli defense system. He was responsible for eleven years to train company commanders and battalion commanders and was an instructor at the School of Command and Staff.

One of the reasons to demand the release of Gilad Shalit as soon as possible and in some the price is based on the precedent of the disappearance of Ron Arad. This comparison is baseless. Ron Arad has been neither seen nor heard, since he was ejected from his plane, so we could not bear the responsibility of his captivity an organization and a well-defined. For Gilad Shalit, is another matter. Shalit is being held by Hamas. This organization prides itself on keeping in captivity and provide for his needs. The two letters sent by Hamas Gilad to his family confirmed the sole responsibility of this organization and its leaders about the fate of the Israeli prisoner.

The way to prevent Hamas from subjecting Shalit what we want to warn those who compare his case to that of Ron Arad is very simple

The State of Israel should not give rise any ambiguity on two key issues to the attention of Ismail Haniyeh and the Hamas leadership. Firstly, Israel considers them fully responsible for Shalit's survival, its proper treatment and his health. Second, any attack against Shalit, or its disappearance would lead to the violent liquidation of Haniyeh and all the political apparatus of Hamas, as was the case with Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Dr. Abdel Aziz Rantisi.

It is very surprising that a former head of Shin Bet (internal security services), Reserve General Ami Ayalon, will bring the voice of the similarity between the case where Shalit and Arad - which would require a mass release of murderers in exchange for a single soldier prisoner. Ami Ayalon, courageous fighter, distinguished himself from the highest mark of military valor for his role in the raid on the Green Island * in 1969. Is his vision of security would have been submerged by the tidal wave of populist slogan "bring the children to more quickly and at any price"

"Kol Israel" (and the site Guysen, audios) regularly counting days of captivity of Shalit. Does the metronome defeatist station Israeli public radio has was due to the hardness of the former Navy fighter commandos?

The Shalit's comrades have joined Ayalon and those who rush to have him released at any price. The Company soldiers Gilad did not demonstrate exceptional operational capability the fateful day when their comrade had been captured. Immediately after hanging up the uniform, they started a campaign compassionate hyper-publicized that led them straight to the Minister of Defence. We can assume that following the capture of Shalit, they have drawn lessons and have improved their operational efficiency. It would have been better if they are not greeted with full honors at the Ministry of Defence precisely in a context related to their greater operational fiasco.

In the absence of clear military standards and with the enthusiastic support of the media, those who have indirectly contributed to the success of the abduction of Shalit, were received by guests of Defense. It is therefore not surprising that the legs of those demobilized have done everything right in the office of Defense Minister Barak to the contribution conditions favorable to the abduction of soldiers created by him just before the second Lebanon war. After each

kidnapping Israeli thinking has become accustomed to not be limited to the terms of negotiations and exchange of prisoners instead invest in military operational aspects so as to find creative solutions that would of serious blow to the enemy. This conception of negotiations was unfortunate consequences inducing a defeatist attitude in the public and freezing military thinking.

When the government focuses only on trade horizons prisoners, it exempts the IDF's role to propose solutions to the problems of military daring abduction of Israeli soldiers. The exclusivity given to reflection as that in force today could never give rise to outcomes such as Operation Entebbe in 1976 or the abduction of Syrian officers in 1972, which allowed prisoners to recover our soldiers then Damascus.

IDF Why should contrive to find solutions to high risk if already Haim Ramon, who sends feelers Olmert, suggests that it will take "more flexibility in the criteria for releasing Palestinian prisoners, while the existing criteria have melted like snow in the sun after the previous prisoner exchanges.

The current Israeli government has a very slim chance of escape - a radical conceptual shift for everything related to the captivity of Shalit.

First, the Prime Minister will have to jettison any trading mentality that has been inoculated and is based on a misconception that Gilad is seeking a "child". It must refer to Gilad Shalit as a national hero, not just a record of compassion. It should be considered a combatant isolated in enemy territory that must be measured as best he can, as the heroes of previous generations of IDF. Such an approach will inspire those around him, if not to himself if not completely cut off from the outside world, the forces needed to fight to bring him back home without the exchange of cons Hundreds of killers whose release will generate no doubt the death of many Israelis.

And the media in all this? As the media are deprived of a magma column spine and any values, it is easily conceivable that they will adapt very quickly to this new standard.

Demonstrate in silence?
By Ben-Meir Hayoun

Dear Nissim Guetta

Below, I have hereunto set for your call event tonight.

Demonstrate in silence for the release of Gilad Shalit? And then what? What's more, while at the same time, a hundred yards from where you Eliezer Zis and organize the event this evening, an Arab on a backhoe was still killing a Jew and tried to kill several others? No, it does not the story of "vigil". The only kosher silent in such circumstances, it is the quiet that adapts to the muzzle of a pistol or an assault rifle, and again! I exaggerate? If the answer is yes, then you have not yet grasped the content of the national tragedy that we are experiencing, including the holding of Shalit is one aspect which certainly captures the imagination, but not worse. Jews, women, seniors, children, are regularly smash in Jerusalem by Arab bestiality and this has been eight long years and it never ends. We have not yet realized? And Arab Jerusalem, which contributed the majority of their votes to Hamas in elections for the AP, continue their cohabitation with us, take us into their taxis, to trade with us, to work with us to make care in hospitals, to touch the emoluments of Social Security, as if nothing had happened.

Manifesting "dignity in silence," so it is the response of income after 2000 years Jews to Zion?

Reminds me Jews who were going to die "with dignity" and "silence." There were even playing magnificent symphonies, the ultimate sublimation of execution of works of classical music, if you know what I do not mean?

No silence! It is the blood of Arab terrorism and its popular support they should require, in Jerusalem, Gaza, southern Liba - shedding the blood of Arab genocidal enemy afloat for revenge - yes! In revenge, because revenge on the enemies of Israel is a Jewish value supreme. We will say good morning to the end of the prayer for Psalm Shahri the day: "El Nekamot Hashem El Nekamot OFIA? Whoever supports the contrary, he goes to make a cassock and cap of a cap Vatican instead of the kippa.

Jewish blood is flowing regularly in Jerusalem. A mother threw her child of six months from the window of his car to save her before getting crushed itself. Our enemies we bring the mutilated bodies of our brave and we give in which killers near Jack the Ripper is a child choir. And all that is the watchword is to call in to express "silence" for the release of Gilad Shalit?

The only claim to express out loud, to scream and to shake the walls of the city government, the Knesset, and the Old City, to do stagger the seats which envelop stuffed the rear train leaders country, calling the Jewish vengeance without mercy. These are the Arab terrorists taken prisoner to be executed one by one regardless of the reason for their imprisonment. It's head impaled on Berghout to a utility pole. These are the homes of Arabs who advocate the eradication of our state and support the genocide thesis of terrorism in Jerusalem to make available free for the homeless and for new immigrants. The Arab masses in Israel mainly to identify our enemies and rejoice with joy from the victory parade in Beirut Samir Kountar - we have to oppress and expel them to the last without qualms.

For cons, the few Arab innocent of any open or discreet support to our enemies must be spared.

How do such measures desired by all and they can all get a chance to materialize if we dare not even articulate?

Only then will Gilad Shalit chance to come back healthy healthy home. Otherwise his release, he has not yet been executed God forbid, in terms of madness abdication, there are hundreds of Jews who were condemned to death, God forbid.

Nissim I know that you agree with me and almost absolute majority of francophones in Israel who are healthy in body and mind are too and are perhaps even more radical than me. But if you do not say these things in a clear voice, strong and loud, the silence of your event will be more explicit? Like me, you know very well not. So Now, tell me what is the real purpose of this event "silent"? A follow

Call Nissim Guetta

Israel against its becoming

For Manitou Rabbi Yehuda Leon Ashkenazi, zatsal

Article published in L'Arche, No. 439, April 1994, pp.20-23

Two major events have marked the past year. On the one hand the draft agreement agreed in Oslo between the present government of Israel and the PLO, on the other hand, even though difficult negotiations are developing to make it succeed, the announcement of the establishment of relations diplomatic ties between the Vatican and the State of Israel. Only time will tell the true extent and consequences Any change made to the history of Israel on both occasions. However, it is clear that in both cases, something irreversible has happened.

Israel speaks directly to an actual agreement with two entities, for various reasons, were supposed to represent the absolute challenge its very existence. On the one hand, indeed, the Catholic Church had always known as Israel itself, with its capital in Jerusalem religious as much as Rome, on the other, the PLO was supposed represent, the most radical claim of Islam in general and the Arab world in particular, the land of the Hebrews [1] with the same Jerusalem as holy city and political capital. But there the analogy must stop, because the stakes, near or far, are not similar. However, good spirits could detect between these two events a link that would not be simple coincidence: so Decourtray Bishop, Archbishop of Lyons, speaking of the agreement between the Vatican and Israel, says: "It could lead between good relations between Israelis and Palestinians. My hope is that peace in the Middle East [2] ... "A Jewish view, however, and from a biblical perspective, we note however that in practically the same time, Israel begin negotiations with the other two lineages Abraham, with one hand Esau, the brother of Jacob who was disputing the name of Israel, on the other hand, Ishmael who disputed the inheritance of the land of Abraham [3] . Anyway, it is clear that it is not necessary that the Jewish sense of the history of Israel - and many Israelis are in this case - To realize, however, that Israeli society has already conducted a fundamental review of what she had until then its identity project. And that, essentially in the order of its relations with the entire Jewish people. In other words, we are already back in the post-Zionist?

This is certainly the main topic that will occupy, now, and Israeli Jewish intellectuals in their attempts, never fully accomplished, to clarify the nature of what they have in common. Inheritance a common ancestral memory, hopes and values converge, an undeniable sense of familiarity in the sense of participation in the historical adventure of the same family, shows that despite the difference it inserts sociological this is the same people .... However, the cultural environment of rapidly changing pace. For the Diaspora - and that was the case originally for the founders of Israeli society - there is still a Christian environment. Even largely de-Christianized, Western humanism is one the Christian soul. For Israeli society, however, the direction that the current political commitment is a nesting increasingly evident in the "personality" Arab and Islamic world.

Now no one can predict the practical development of a company as dynamic as the Israeli society. It depends more obviously political options properly. No one knows what will be the results of future elections, and therefore the ins key positions of Education and Interior.

And indeed, the purpose of these reflections not at all reflect the extraordinary complexity of the fluid political and ideological Israel. But everything else, trying to highlight a number of trends, breaklines, which already promises from the beginning, but which reveal themselves with such intensity that since the events of the past year. In such a business, you can not hide his personal equation. And I do not deny that these two problems before, just as delicate as the other one, the relationship to Christianity and against Islam, my feeling is radically different. I plan as much in the long term, a regularization of our positive links with the Christian world, as I saw the incidents and the method of negotiations with the Arab world, including Syria and the PLO, with puzzlement and concern. I say maybe another time what would the price of profound peace with the Christian world and how the Jewish Diaspora must inevitably pay the price. I confine myself to a few remarks today on the consequences of current options vis-à-vis peace with the Arabs, regarding the cultural perspectives of Israeli society.

In fact, it is the nature of "Jewish" of the Jewish state. Leaving aside the debate is whether the State of Israel must be a "Jewish" state within the meaning of the term theocracy, or the state of the Jews, their religion is Judaism. I am among those who think that Herzl was primarily a project Jewish State [4] where they could take control of their destiny and political history. The history of mankind, and as a believer it means to me as Providence, made the Jewish state, or more exactly is in the process of doing. A mutation in which the subject identity is to transform Jewish identity Jewish identity found, can not be done in one instant magic. To understand what it is, and far more secular than religious Israeli intellectuals had understood, he must make the effort to distinguish between the sociopolitical sense of the word Jew, and his sense of cultural identity, spiritual and religious. In the sociopolitical sense, the Jew has always been a Hebrew of exile, indexed to the identity of foreign cities, in other words a "Judeo-someone-else". In this sense, all Israelis are certainly no pun intended, of Jewish origin. But for the vast majority of them, "Zionism" is to lead the Hebrew nation who would have nothing to do with socio-political status of Jews in exile.

It is from here that a serious problem, a problem that the draft agreement with the PLO, even in his philosophy, and reveals accuser. It turns out that the solidarity of members of a society under siege, the jubilation to meet, in Hebrew, among survivors of one hundred twenty exiles, had masked the fact that the motivations of the same Zionism was critically different. I identify four main arbitrarily schematized, all amalgams are possible at the individual, human being, as we know highly paradoxical.

First, Jews were Zionists who wanted to abandon Judaism as a religion and spirituality as if culture and history, together status of the Jew in exile. Their diagnosis was that even emancipation could not ensure their cultural survival, and that therefore he had to taken from Jews in Hebrew. This type of Israel is both the right and left of the political spectrum.

Secondly, those who wanted to regain Hebrew finally be fully and authentically Jewish, and not only hope to ever postponed implementation deadline.

Thirdly, those who reject Zionism of the Jewish state, because it is a state that was not founded by the Messiah, but living the Israeli life in their own way, for the privilege it accords to live in the Holy Land.

And then, ultimately, a number of Jews forever cosmopolitan, fluent in Hebrew of course, but are there because they are there, nothing more. Several of them also hold important positions in large institutions.

All this is the entire Israeli society maelstrom of change and who lives in the acceleration history is known. Now that company suddenly discovers she is in a position to have to experience the cultural life of a binational state in which culture will have to integrate Jewish values but also the Hebrew Arab-Islamic values. Those Israeli Arabs first and foremost, but also those of so-called Palestinian Arabs, who form a single set nationally, although they are distinguished sociologically. In Israel itself, this discovery will not long prevail. The real question is what will the reaction of the entire Jewish diaspora. Everything suggests that the apparent spiritual upheaval and ideological ensue. What form it takes, we can not already prejudged. But the debate is emerging traumatize many consciences.

And indeed, it is difficult, given the current state of things, which side would appear the instance of unanimity that could guarantee a minimum coherence of a society faced, without adequate preparation, to irreversible decisions for the future of his identity project. Many believe, and I'm one of them, it's absolutely a problem for Israel and the Diaspora. While we are the same people, it is also true that Israel's future played in a certain way, in every Jewish community. Are we already in the post-Zionist or, on the contrary, a new Zionism, that of maturity, it is dawning? And that the price of what schisms, which emergencies separation?

The classic pattern of our three criteria for identification, by the people, by the earth, the Torah, will always remain the basis of profound debate. However, until then, the question mark in all walks of roughly formulated as follows: which of these three sets must include the other two: which is supposed to define how sine qua non of genuine community, the other two to be reserved for the individual option?

Today, it seems that the equation must be renewed. Which of these three fights he is most urgent, which is the current fight for the survival of the three? I would say clearly the option of my political awareness. But before that, I want to say that I appreciate the consistency, if the current legitimacy, other options. The real problem is not who would be right in absolute terms: those that emphasize the People, those of the Torah or those of the Earth at any cost, the real problem is I think: Now, now, what is the fight he would be foolish to lose?

For two thousand years we've been busy as a people to survive and preserve knowledge and practice of Torah. I do not know if the heroism of these two fights has been sufficiently told. But it is clear that they have earned. At what cost of suffering, humiliation, dilution and sometimes distorted identity - also with great moments of true elevation above - each of us tells the story in its own way. But we have reached the end of this long march, as a people and existing holders of our heritage. Both battles have to be pursued. Anti-Semitism has not disappeared and the Torah is not acquired once and for all. These two struggles are still very necessary, but we know that we have won.

Meanwhile huge two thousand years, we were cut off from our land. Today is that this fight is current, and hopefully have sufficiently indicated that the challenge in my opinion, is not only a question of extent of territory and sovereignty. At stake is the future of our identity.
