JERUSALEM, Nov. 14 -- Four former chiefs of Israel's powerful domestic security service said in an interview published Friday that the government's actions and policies during the three-year-old Palestinian uprising have gravely damaged the country and its people.

The four, who variously headed the Shin Bet security agency from 1980 to 2000 under governments that spanned the political spectrum, said that Israel must end its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, that the government should recognize that no peace agreement can be reached without the involvement of the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, and that it must stop what one called the immoral treatment of Palestinians.

Three security chiefs named in the article are:
Avraham Shalom, 1980 to 1986
Carmi Gillon, 1995 to 1996
Maj. Gen. Ami Ayalon, 1996 to 2000
I think the fourth is Yaakov Peri (Perry?) 1988 to 1995

They have a stellar record:

Avraham Shalom--First Intifada
Yaakov Perry--First Infidafa + Oslo
Carmi Gillon--Olso + Rabin Assassination
Ami Ayalon--Oslo + Year 2000 Oslo War

I didn't see this posted, but I searched google and these guys have been saying these same things for a while.

Yup. These clowns are Isreal's versions of Weasley Clark.

Leftists, when they are out of power, would rather destroy the entire country than allow anyone else to be in power.
