ISRAELI POLICIES DETRIMENTAL TO ISRAEL AND THE JEWS - Pro-Arab and anti-Jewish bias among leftist authorities - Influence from foreign governments - Recurrent cases of corruption.

A couple of days ago this blog posted an article about Israeli police covering up Arab terror against Jews, and showing ongoing reluctance to take measures against terrorist road gangs operating on a daily basis.   But there is a larger picture, much of it hidden from view.
 
The tacit government policy in Israel is:   Go easy on the Arabs, empower them, allow them to create facts on the ground in order to facilitate the partition of the country.  The left is quie open about it.  The right wing talks tough to get votes, but once in power it implements leftist policies. 

What kind of influence is at work to make the Israeli leadership act this way?  There are many, all of them nefarious in one way or another.

It is uncanny how this tiny piece of Jewish land inspires so much greed in the world.  Everyone wants a piece of it, everyone wants to control it, many want to own it.  This has been so for thousands of years.

Following is a column by Italian (non-Jewish) journalist Giulio Meotti, denouncing former top officials in Israel who make startling pro-Arab and pro-partition comments that are truly incomprehensible in a tiny and besieged country such as Israel.
 
As you read it, keep in mind that for decades the State Department has been holding a great deal of influence on Israel.
 
The State Department can influence not only foreign government policies, but sometimes also key individuals with current or former connections to those governments. 
 
Israeli military and intelligence agencies have an extremely close relationship with their counterparts in the United States, with frequent visits, exchange of information, and the cultivation of personal friendships.   One country is a giant, the other a tiny state, barely hanging on to its land.  This disparity alone is indicative of who calls the shots.
 
American intelligence services can use information as a lever to influence people and events.  Many top military officials who deserted their governments during the Arab spring did so under the threat of having their bank accounts in the US confiscated.

And that's not all.  Aside from political interference, there is also the human factor.  Anyone can be vulnerable to material enticements.  
 
Police attacking and expelling Jews from their homes
Business has influence on government policy.  Many political and military bosses take industry management jobs upon retirement. 
 
Israeli business also profits from the trade of goods with Gaza and the Palestinian Authority.    These companies want to keep their Arab customers happy.  They don't like it when Israel clamps down on terror.
 
The Israeli government authorized a large Israeli cement company to keep supplying construction material to Hamas, even after it was public knowledge that Hamas was using it to build terror tunnels.

The following column barely touches on a few individuals and events.  The daily news of Israel is full of accounts of the implementation of suicidal policies and authorities' puzzling lapses in judgment that appear to be inexplicable.
 
The fact that Israel won impossible wars and still endures in spite of its leadership can only be attributed to a miracle.
 
 
What makes ex Mossad chiefs and IDF generals run?

By Giulio Meotti
 

Secret service and army officials have just one mission: to protect Israel at any cost. But it is amazing to observe the growing phenomenon of former Mossad and Shin Bet chiefs and army generals who suddenly take on the most dangerous positions in Israel's history. They are a mix of  inflated ego and estrangement from Israel's brutal reality. 

Former Mossad chief, British-born Efraim Halevy, has released an interview to Israeli media asking Israel to commit suicide and withdraw to the pre-1967 "Auschwitz borders". 

Last year former top IDF Intelligence official Brigadier General (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser said that the Shin Bet (security agency) "fell in love" with the Palestinians. 

These generals all propose a land withdrawal from biblical Israel - a preemptive surrender to the Arabs.  The expulsion of Israel's most loyal citizens from their homes could provoke a civil war

Those statements have the effect of giving Palestinians excuses for horrible attacks against the Jewish population.  

In the last two years, former Shin Bet head Yuval Diskin called again and again to destroy Jewish life in Judea and Samaria. Diskin believes that Yitzhar (a Jewish town) in Samaria is a far more dangerous threat than ISIS or Iran.

THE GAZA NETWORK OF TUNNELS BUILT WITH ISRAELI CEMENT - While Israeli officials knew it was being used to build tunnels - How business influences policy - And the personal financial reasons that may have motivated former PM Sharon to expel Jews from Gaza in 2005, thus unleashing a disaster

This is hard to believe but an Israeli cement company has been supplying Hamas with enough cement to build an entire network of tunnels in Gaza. 
Some of these tunnels lead into Egypt, and are used to smuggle all kinds of products, from consumer goods to illicit drugs, to weapons.  These are sophisticated tunnels, with electricity and other conveniences.  Some Gazans have become very rich operating these clandestine operations.

But there is another set of tunnels leading into Israel that have been specifically built to commit acts of terror against Israeli civilians. 



Now, you must be aware that Israel is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world.  Israel also has intelligence services second to none.

You would think that by using technical devices that can detect underground activity, plus the many warnings by the country's intelligence services about Hamas tunnel construction and operation, someone in government would have said, We need to destroy these tunnels leading into Israel before they are put to use.

But no.  The government allowed the construction of an entire network  -  the equivalent of a time bomb that could go off at any moment - and they DID NOTHING.

Why?  We can only speculate.  SEE UPDATE with article on Canadian expert's puzzlement at IDF lack of interest in following up after a meeting in which he explained all the latest technology for tunnel detection.  As IDF casualties mount in their effort to find and destroy tunnels, the public is bound to start asking questions.  (Continued below)

GAZA - A HISTORY YOU MAY NOT KNOW - And the corrupt motives that may have led Israeli PM Ariel Sharon to surrender Gaza to terrorists in 2005


Gaza -From its early history as part of the Jewish kingdom, to today

Gaza - Israel in insert - Wikipedia
The nearly four thousand year old association of Jewish life in Gaza is little remembered in today's world.
 
Of course people know of the biblical story of Samson being blinded by the now extinct Philistines and how he brought down the temple to their gods in Gaza. But very few have any idea of the deep Jewish history in the following millennia.

In the Second millennium BC, Gaza served as an administrative city and residence of the Egyptian governor of Canaan.
 
The bible tells us that the Jewish patriarch, Isaac, dug wells in Gerar, an ancient site between Beer Sheba and Gaza, and in the 13th century BC the Philistines or Caphorites (Cretans) annihilated the Avite inhabitants of Gaza and made the city the largest of their five centers.
