Yuval Diskin, Top Security Chief, Opposes Unilateral Withdrawal
Excerpts;
“Yuval Diskin, head of the Shin Bet, the undercover security agency known in Israel as the Shabak, surprised an audience in Eli when he said he opposed further unilateral withdrawals. ”
“Diskin spoke on Monday to students studying at the Bnei David Academy, a religious Zionist institution in Samaria that has an arrangement with the army, allowing students to defer military service for one year in order to study Torah.”
“Diskin’s appearance in Eli and the contents of his speech were first revealed to the public by Channel 10 television, an network licensed, though not run by the government.”
“Diskin used language unusual for a government official, ostensibly deviating from the government-approved line, saying the Disengagement was primarily a procedure for “uprooting” people from their homes.”
“The Disengagement was first and foremost a procedure for uprooting people, and the State of Israel is white-washing the terminology,” said Diskin. “They’re afraid to use the term ‘uprooting.’ They call it evacuation, and other things, but this is uprooting.”
