A top former Israeli spy thinks the country’s future is in grave danger. Here is why
An Israeli border police officer stands next to Jewish settlers and Ultra-orthodox Jewish men who temporarily blocked traffic by setting fire on a highway during a protest at the entrance to Jerusalem, June 1, 2009. is known for having conspired to blow up the Dome of the Rock mosque in the 1980s. Located in Jerusalem’s Haram al Sharif, the religious site is considered one of the holiest places by Muslims around the world.
“They’re not weeds. When the Jewish Underground was uncovered [following a series of violent, anti-Palestinian attacks in the 1980s], there were 12,000 settlers in the territories. Now there are 500,000. They flourish on a clearly defined popular, ideological ground,”Dominated by ultra Orthodox groups, the Underground want to establish Jewish law as an official ideology of Israel.
Yitzhak Pass, a Jewish settler from the West Bank city of Hebron, is seen on July 23, 2003 arriving to court in Jerusalem for a remand hearing. Pass's arrest along with others have raised concerns in Israel about a new Jewish underground, reminiscent of the vigilante attacks on Palestinians in the 1980's.
Despite the fact the book is a fiction, he thinks all of these attacks are quite possible if in any political scenario Israel withdraws from the West Bank as could be the case according to the deeply biased ‘deal of the century’, the recent American plan by President Donald Trump, heavily the favouring the Zionist state.
“From the depths of my memory, I recall newspaper headlines and pictures – from [then-Defense Minister] Shimon Peres’ beneficent gaze at the settlers in Sebastia and [settler leader] Rabbi Levinger, to the total obsequiousness every Israeli government has displayed toward rabbis of the religious Zionist movement and to ultra-Orthodox lawmakers,” Gillon remembered.
