Brigadier General Nitzan Alon, commander of the IDF’s Judea and Samaria division, has distributed a letter to commanders in his division in which he asks them to investigate soldiers who are residents of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. The reason for the request, according to Alon, is a concern that these soldiers may leak information regarding future evacuation of outpost communities.
“As commanders we must thoroughly check and characterize the backgrounds of our soldiers,” Alon wrote in the letter, the contents of which were revealed by Israel’s Channel 10 News on Sunday. “We have to interview those soldiers who have the potential to harm national security and give them roles in which they are not exposed to sensitive information.”
In the letter, Alon details two recent cases in which soldiers disrupted the activities of the division. The first case occurred in February, when a soldier in the Givati Brigade received a report on the construction of an illegal outpost in Samaria and decided not to report to the unit that was supposed to evict the residents.
The soldier was later sent to the brig for 30 days after being found guilty of lying to his commanders.
Another case described in the letter occurred in March, when soldiers from Battalion 82 were ordered to prevent local residents from going to Homesh, a Jewish community in northern Samaria that had been evacuated during the 2005 disengagement but was resettled by a group of activists in 2007. Since then, the community has been a target for evacuation several times.
In the letter, Alon describes how one of the soldiers in Battalion 82 passed information to the residents so they could avoid military forces. This soldier too was suspended from his position and was later tried and removed from the IDF.

hope this is as face value.
...but i’m curious what others with more knowledge think.
if the U.N. creates Palestine in October, what will Israel do?
1) evacuate Judea and Sumaria, as this article lays groundwork for?
2) defiance against the entire world (except India and Canada), allowing the Samantha Powers “humanitarian policy to protect”, tested in Libya, to be used against Israel?
Go on as before. The UN can’t make mud out of sand.
Brigadier General Nitzan Alon, commander of the IDF's Judea and Samaria division, has distributed a letter to commanders in his division in which he asks them to investigate soldiers who are residents of Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. The reason for the request, according to Alon, is a concern that these soldiers may leak information regarding future evacuation of outpost communities.
Shall they investigate soldiers and officers from communes as potentially politically motivated?
While they’re at it, why not investigate General Alon, and in the interim put him on light duty? He might just be fomenting disunity in the IDF.
How utterly apropos for this back-stabbing swine.
Episodes such as this demonstrate the sad reality that Israel is a “nation divided” just as much as America. The Israeli Left is just as much a mortal threat to her survival as our own here is to us.
The margin here between survival and suicidal stupidity is considerably thinner, though.
I thought about including exactly that point just a moment after I posted. Thanks for adding it.
