Shin Bet Spies on its Own People Instead of Seeking Justice

Posted by Cary Wesberry on Thursday, March 20, 2008 5:19:07 PM
An announcement posted and circulated in Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem in recent days warns students that a Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) agent, masquerading as a friend of one of the eight students killed by a terrorist in the school two weeks ago, has been frequenting the school grounds and trying to glean information from students, Army Radio reported Thursday.
 
"Keep your eyes open and avoid unnecessary conversations," says the announcement, which asserts that the parents of one student spoke to the suspicious-looking man and understood that he was trying to obtain information about possible revenge measures.

On Saturday, the Shin Bet said it had completed a probe into media reports of involvement of a rabbi from Mercaz Harav in plans to carry out a revenge attack and had found them baseless.

The Shin Bet statement dismissed a report that was broadcast on Channel 1 last week by diplomatic correspondent Ayala Hasson according to which a group of right-wing Jews had received permission from several rabbis to avenge the terrorist attack at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva on March 6 in Jerusalem in which eight students were killed and nine were wounded.

Several days before, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter told National Religious Party MK Zevulun Orlev that neither the police nor the Shin Bet had information concerning such a plot. 

Security officials explained Saturday that one of the main reasons for issuing the statement was to prevent the defaming of an entire sector in society - the National-Religious camp - as well as Mercaz Harav, whose students were reported to have been involved in the alleged plot.
 
 
 
 
What's the point here exactly?  The prevention of justice?  If so, the Shin Bet is surely doing its best to make sure justice never occurs for those who murdered the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva students in cold blood.  Wouldn't it be nice if the Shin Bet were spending time and resources on arresting those who are guilty, and maybe just maybe aiding those willing to give their time to enforce justice.  The reason there's even discussion of avenging those dead students is because those considering it know their government won't do what needs to be done: a speedy apprehension, inquisition, and execution of those responsible for the Yeshiva atrocity.  Heaven forbid there be justice for Jews!
