Gilad Atzmon: United Against the Anti Israeli Goyim

Israeli Military Intelligence (MI) expands its overseas activity ‘monitoring foreign left-wing organizations.’

Haaretz reported today that Israeli Military Intelligence is collecting information about left-wing organizations abroad that the army sees as aiming to delegitimize Israel.

However, some Israelis seem to be confused about it all. “We ourselves don’t know exactly how to define delegitimization,” said one ministry official. “This is a very abstract definition. Are flotillas to Gaza delegitimization? Is criticism of settlements delegitimization? It’s not clear how Military Intelligence’s involvement in this will provide added value.”

MI officials said the initiative reflects an upsurge in worldwide efforts to delegitimize Israel and question its right to exist.

“The enemy changes, as does the nature of the struggle, and we have to boost activity in this sphere,” an MI official said. “Work on this topic proceeds on the basis of a clear distinction between legitimate criticism of the State of Israel on the one hand, and efforts to harm it and undermine its right to exist on the other.”
I am left confused here, who exactly decides what ‘legitimate criticism’ is?

The new MI unit will monitor Western groups involved in BDS campaign against Israel (boycott, divestment and sanctions). The unit will also collect information about groups that attempt to bring war crimes or other charges against high-ranking Israeli officials, and examine possible links between such organizations and terror groups.

Once again I am puzzled, I was pretty convinced until now that boycott, divestment and sanctions are non-violent peaceful measures. I would also expect Israel to support chasing war criminals. Through my entire life, Israel and its favourite Nazi -hunters have been enthusiastically chasing war criminals; I would expect Israel to perform more integrity here. However, I’m not really holding my breath.

For the time being, armed Jewish militias are trained abroad. I guess that by now they posses the capacity to punish the ‘anti Israeli Goyim.’
