The Israeli army, through its military intelligence body, spy groups and leftist organizations whose activities, considers Israel, delegitimize its existence as a state. Government sources and the Israeli army told the newspaper Haaretz that several months ago Military Intelligence created a special department devoted to follow the activities of leftist groups and closely coordinates its work with various government departments.
Part of his job is to follow the steps to NGOs, such as organized fleets to break the blockade on Gaza, but the vague mandate of the department concerned to officials in the Israeli Foreign Ministry, as saying. "Even we know how to define exactly what is an act of legitimization," answers a foreign official to ask what the new department can bring to Israeli diplomatic efforts.
According to this source, Israel should ask first if fleets to Gaza are discrediting, if the settlements are critical to discredit "because" it is unclear what the involvement of military intelligence can contribute something. " For the body of Military Intelligence, one of the largest in the Army and is responsible to make strategic assessments in the region, monitoring of these groups reflects the evolution of the world and the security challenges facing Israel.
"The enemy changes, as well as the nature of the struggle, and we work to increase activity in this field," Haaretz said an officer of that body. "The work in this area is carried out on the basis of a clear distinction between legitimate criticism of the State of Israel on the one hand, and efforts to disrupt and undermine its right to exist on the other," added the official.
Another field of activity of the new department is to monitor Western NGOs that encourage the boycott of Israel, the imposition of sanctions, or the prosecution of officers and Israeli politicians for alleged war crimes. Also check whether there is a relationship between these NGOs and Islamist terrorist groups and international.
The Israeli army decided to create the new department after the controversial assault on the Freedom Flotilla May 2010, in which activists nine Turks died by fire from Israeli soldiers on their way to Gaza with humanitarian aid. The military and diplomatic failure of the assault, believed the Army could have been avoided if the intelligence and espionage agencies have provided relevant information on the nature of the activists who had been aboard the Mavi Marmara, the flagship of the fleet and where there was the major confrontation.
The monitoring of foreign groups coincides with a new law in Israel that will be voted on Tuesday to prevent local NGOs to receive public funding if they contribute to "delegitimize the state as Jewish and democratic." The controversial law, which will be voted on second and third reading, and also provides for the imposition of fines, is an initiative of the nationalist right to thwart the activities of left-wing Israeli groups that defend human rights and denounce the army's behavior in occupied territories.
