An agent provocateur seems to have been discovered attempting to entrap members of the Yesha Council by offering them explosives. The episode includes police complicity and use of a gag order.
The episode began Wednesday when a student who had been volunteering for the Yesha Council was asked to return the vehicle he had been using to distribute anti-disengagement literature.
The “volunteer” handled logistical tasks such as distributing flyers and hanging banners and was therefore loaned a vehicle by the Yesha Council to use for the work. Ohad Bart, the council’s logistical director contacted the volunteer, told him they no longer needed his services and requested that he return the vehicle. The volunteer gave various reasons why he could not return the vehicle and in the end Bart agreed to send a Yesha Council employee to pick up the car from the volunteer’s home in Lod.
When the Yesha Council employee spoke with the volunteer a few days before the Purim holiday, the volunteer asked him, “Do you maybe need grenades for the struggle? I could sell you grenades.” The Yesha Council employee responded that that was not the way the struggle would be waged.
The disturbing offer was relayed to Bart who immediately contacted MK Uri Ariel. The two became suspicious that the whole affair was a frame-up and that even though they had refused the explosives, once they picked up the vehicle from the “agent provocateur” they would be stopped by Police and grenades would suddenly be “found” hidden in the car – resulting in a “expose” of Yesha Council involvement in violence and illegal activity.
Bart and the Yesha Council worker decided to call the police instead of picking up the vehicle themselves – asking that they arrest the volunteer/provocateur.
The police then made a strange request of the two Council workers. They asked them to go to the volunteer’s house “with an undercover officer disguised as a settler.” They instructed them to tell the volunteer that they were in fact interested in procuring explosives, and buy them – in order to catch him in the act.
Bart, familiar with the Shabak (GSS) tactic of using agents provocateur to delegitimize the right-wing, immediately refused, suspecting the police would then arrest everyone, accuse them of buying explosives – and result in headlines about the Yesha Council in the next day’s papers aimed at torpedoing the anti-expulsion movement. He told the police to go alone, saying he would come afterward to recover the Yesha Council’s vehicle.
When the two men arrived to collect the vehicle, police refused to inform them whether the volunteer was in fact arrested or not and whether grenades were found.
When Yesha Council spokesman Emily Amrousi called a press conference to expose the incident to the media, police slapped a gag order on the entire episode.
Yesha Council member Bentzy Lieberman took the initiative of publishing the name of the volunteer and the fact that he was a student at Yeshivat Ateret Kohanim in Jerusalem’s Old City. Lieberman signed the letter with a request that security forces refrain from “planting provocateurs like Avishai Raviv.”
Raviv was the Shabak agent responsible for several fictional swearing-in ceremonies as well as the distribution of posters prior to the murder of Yitzhak Rabin often cited as examples of right-wing incitement (such as the poster of Rabin dressed a Nazi). Raviv, in fact, sent out a beeper message to reporters minutes after Rabin was reported shot, reading, “We missed this time but next time we won’t.” Raviv even founded a fictional “extremist” group called Eyal which consisted of youths he paid to pose for reporters, some of whom were in on the ruse.
For a moment I thought you were talking about...

Those people were wise not to trust the police.
Knowing Israeli, bolshevik, self-hating traitor tactics, outing one means their are five more yet to be exposed.

I admit to being somewhat behind the curve on what's happening on the ground in Israel right now, and need to get up to speed. This article helps.
Because the USA is already getting involved (by putting a general with the Islamist PA there), I want our US President to start talking to the more right-minded leaders in Israel. Mr. President: it's not Lawrence of Arabia!
Absolutely agreed.
its the saison all over again.
Actually they are technically menshevik, but since bronstein/trotsky started out as a menshevik it probably doesn't make a difference.
Yesha = settlers and settlements

That's not at all a strange request. This "article" really just a smear of the gov't.
There are well documented cases in Israel of the police trying to "set up" religious Jews from the territories. The most famous case is where the police beat the crap out of a bunch of old women, old men, and kids and then claimed the police were the ones attacked. The only problem for the police is that they were caught on film pounding on the civilians. This article is only a glimpse into the type of scams the Israeli police are playing on the settlers all the time. They hate the settlers' guts.
Sorry you don't like it. It is the truth.
