news.bbc.co.uk Thursday, March 11, 1999 Published at 15:57 GMT World: Middle East Retired Mossad agent guilty of faking reports A court in Israel has convicted a former officer of the Mossad secret service of fabricating intelligence reports which gave the impression that Syria was preparing for war against Israel. The man, Yehuda Gil, was convicted after a year-long trial, of passing false information intended to harm state security. The Israeli media has said the information may have distorted Israeli assessments of Syria's political and military intentions, and could have triggered a war. Mr Gil had given his Mossad bosses fake information that Damascus was preparing to attack Israel, claiming he had got it from a source in Syria. He kept hundreds of thousands of dollars which Mossad had given him to pay the Syrian informant . From the newsroom of the BBC World Service

<< Can you explain what has now become known as the Lavon Affair? >> Most notable about the Lavon Affair was the brutal treatment of prisoners in Egypt's prisons, which is still going on today. Unlike Israel and America, Arabs torture their prisoners. Why do you think that the Arab nations act so depraved, and the western nations act more civilized and humanely? It's no surprise that ALL of the terrorists are coming from the depraved, subhuman Arab dictatorships. Here is a portion of the info on the Lavon Affair: ===> "The "Zionist spies," as they came to be called, hadn't been well treated before they admitted they had been working on behalf of Israel. But it was bearable. That all changed after their association with Israel was known. Marcelle Ninio was arrested and beaten mercilessly on the soles of her feet, she was threatened with sexual abuse, and it didn't let up. The torture became so unbearable that at one point she threw herself out of a window and nearly died. She only just managed to survive. She was taken to a hospital where she was allowed to heal." "The men were transferred from Alexandria to Cairo, where the prison guards were known to be even more savage than their Alexandrian counterparts. They were taken to the Sigan Harbi, a prison notorious for its cruelty - a reputation the guards there very much wanted to maintain. When they were marched down the stinking and decrepit hallways, in chains, they could hear cries coming out of the other cells. In the near future those cries would sometimes be of their friends. This went on day and night. Treatment was something akin to a medieval torture chamber. Moreover, there were rivalries between the police and prison guards on the one side, and the Muhabarrat (military intelligence) on the other. Both sides wanted to prove that they could extract more information than the other." "The prison guards would sometimes hang the prisoners up with their arms tied behind their heads, and beat the prisoners savagely until they fainted, and sometimes even died. The truth is that this treatment was not only meted out to the Jewish spies - Egyptian members of the Muslim Brotherhood, who were fierce opponents of Nasser's secular, socialist, military regime - received exactly the same treatment, and sometimes even worse. At one point one of the higher level prison guards, after savagely beating a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, called in Robert Dassa. The guard told him to beat the Moslem Brother. "Now, I am going to let a Jew beat you."" "Robert refused. The Moslem Brotherhood member's eyes, cringing with fear, softened a little. The guards turned on Robbie savagely and told him to beat the prisoner or else. He wouldn't. A gang of guards then set upon Robbie, savagely beating him, while the Moslem Brother pleaded with the guards to stop beating Robbie. As long as he could, Robbie stoically refused to cry out and give the guards any kind of satisfaction." Source: us-israel.org
