Israeli-Arab Human Rights Leader: 'I Spied for Hizbullah'

An Israeli-Arab human rights activist has confessed to spying for the Hizbullah terrorist organization.

Amir Makhoul headed the Israeli-Arab organization Ittijah, a group that has rejected anti-terror clauses in funding agreements. The Haifa-based organization, established in 1985, describes itself as “the network for Palestinian non-governmental organizations in Israel.” At present, his brother Issa – a former Israeli-Arab Knesset Member – heads the organization.

Amir Makhoul, who was convicted Wednesday, confessed to charges of espionage and aggravated espionage, according to a statement issued by the Justice Ministry. Under the terms of a plea bargain deal, Makhoul also pleaded guilty to charges to “contact with a foreign agent and conspiracy to aid the enemy in time of war.”

Thanks Nachum. This wouldn't have happened if the Zionists didn't occupy Palestine. /sarc
