The heads of the authorities in the Yesha (Yehudah and Shomron) Council on Sunday evening sent a letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu demanding that he urgently convene a government meeting and act to close the Shin Bet’s Jewish Division in the wake of the Kan News report revealing disturbing statements made by the Division’s chief, who has since resigned.
The letter stated that “for decades, the Jewish Division has not been a counter-terrorism division but an intelligence body that operates solely against the settlers and yishuvim in Yehudah and Shomron via illegitimate means.”
“Last night we were clearly exposed to the positions and methods of the division chief, but these methods are unfortunately known to us from the division’s past activities, and therefore it has no right to exist. As in the rest of Israel, if there are suspicions against a resident of the country, then the police are the ones who should investigate and act on the matter according to the law and in accordance with the guidelines.”
In recordings, first published on Motzei Shabbos, A., the head of the Jewish Division, is heard calling Jewish suspects in Yehudah and Shomron derogatory names and admitting that they are arrested even without evidence for a few days. “Put them in detention cells, with mice,” A. said regarding Jewish suspects arrested without evidence.
A subsequent report by Channel 14 revealed that the most pressing thing on A.’s mind three days after the October 7 massacre was that “Jews are arming themselves.”

So called right and of course left both hate the Chareidim and settlers. In fact forty per cent of those living after the green line are Chareidim. The secular leadership want everyone to live in Tel Aviv where forty per cent are homosexuals. Tel Aviv where it is difficult to find a kosher restaurant and is full of chillul shabbos and pork stores. The settlers who are Mizrachi types run to join the army that threw them out like dogs of gush katif and Yaamit.
