GAZA, Palestine, October 10,2005 (IPC+ Agencies)---
Amiram Levin, the then-Deputy Chief of the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service "Mossad, took the unprecedented step in stating that Israel's continued policy of controlling the Palestinian people will inflict a resounding defeat of the Hebrew state.
Levin, who was delivering a speech at Van Laer institute in occupied Jerusalem, said "the urgent question needs to address is not if a crushing defeat will inflict Israel but when such a defeat will bring? After two years, ten years or twenty years? "
"Even when the democracies pretend abidance by ethics, they could not win as long as they occupy another nation," Levin warned.
He considered the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories as the sole reason behind the attacks against the Israeli civilians.
Levin, who said to be one of most Generals of the Israeli army in making a good deal in combating the Palestinian resistance movements, also admitted that it is an eventual result that controlling another people and occupying their land produce attacks against the occupier's civilians, which he described as "terrorist" operations.
The ex- deputy chief of Mossad strongly criticized the command of the Israeli army due to the pursuit of intimidation, harassment and abuse against the Palestinian civilians. He gave an exemplary wrongdoing by the Israeli soldiers manning a military checkpoint. They confiscated thyme herbs from elderly Palestinian women while they were returning back home from a farmland. He looked at the incident as unbelievable.
"How we reached to such an extent as a commander of a contingent and a commander of battalion has implementing silently such orders and everyone keep his nose to the grindstone?." Levin wondered.
He sees such practices are only look like those acts of "bunch of criminals" not behaviors of a state army. He also placed the responsibility of such acts squarely at the high command of the Israeli army's shoes'
"Either the army command did not perceive that the occupation means of controlling another people, including the military checkpoint, muddles up the Israeli society and expedite the defeat of the state or this command is afraid of recognizing this fact at the political level as a historic certainty." Levin remarked.
He added "I expect army command to say that the wall built by Israel in the West Bank represent a suppressive measure and a humiliation against the civilian inhabitants, the wall has never put the Israeli society close to a political reconciliation of the conflict."
Levin believed that Israel is misinforming the world when its army has wrecked havoc to its landscape in the West Bank under the pretext of "combating terror"
