Netanyahu backs US envoy’s handling of sexual
misconduct claims against aide-PM says he’s sure Ron Dermer acted
properly in choosing not to alert PMO to warning about David Keyes,
notes the ambassador’s decision is being checked by Civil Service
Commission-By Raphael Ahren-OCT 1,18
Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday backed his US envoy’s handling of a
report on allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior by the prime
minister’s international media spokesman David Keyes.Keyes went on
open-ended leave of absence earlier this month, vowing to clear his
name, after more than a dozen women complained of inappropriate behavior
by him, including alleged instances of sexual assault and harassment,
all but one of which related to the years when Keyes lived in the US
before he went to work for Netanyahu in Jerusalem in 2016.Israel’s
Ambassador to the US was warned about Keyes’s alleged behavior, but did
not convey the warning to the Prime Minister’s Office.In his first
public statement on the matter, Netanyahu told reporters: “I’m sure
Ambassador Dermer acted entirely properly and appropriately.” He noted
that “the matter is currently being probed by the Civil Service
Commission, and we will let the investigation take its course.”Sitting
next to Dermer at a briefing for reporters at UN headquarters in New
York, Netanyahu did not directly address the allegations against Keyes,
who did not accompany the prime minister to New York.The Civil Service
Commission last week dropped an investigation into Keyes. It told The
Times of Israel that Keyes may have acted improperly in the sole alleged
incident that took place in Israel, but his behavior in that alleged
incident did not constitute a criminal or disciplinary offense.At the
same time, the commission is continuing to look into the role of Dermer,
who has acknowledged that he was warned about Keyes’s alleged
misconduct, but failed to alert the relevant authorities.On Tuesday, eve
of the Yom Kippur, a female representative of the commission’s
Department of Discipline briefly interviewed a woman who had accused
Keyes of having made an “aggressive, sexual” advance weeks after he
started working for Netanyahu in Israel.“It was a very frustrating call.
I told her that he [Keyes] abused his position of power,” the woman,
who asked to remain unnamed, told The Times of Israel, adding that the
call lasted about five minutes. “She said something along the lines of,
‘He’s not the first morally corrupt person in government and won’t be
the last,'” she added.The woman, a recent immigrant from North America
in her 20s, is the only person so far who alleges improper behavior by
Keyes after he had started working for Netanyahu. More than a dozen
women have accused him of sexual misconduct in the years before he
become the prime minister’s spokesperson in 2016 and was still living in
New York.The Civil Service Commission can only probe improper behavior
if it occurred while the accused official was working for the state,
spokesperson Arye Greenblatt said. Greenblatt added: “The woman agreed
to give only her first name, and at the beginning of the conversation
she made it clear that she was willing to speak only on condition that
the contents of the conversation and her identity were not transferred
to Keyes… The woman had no desire to file a complaint against
Keyes.”Greenblatt continued: “After describing her story, it was
understood that the information she conveyed does not raise any
suspicion of an offense on the part of Keyes, and that the incident had
nothing to do with his work, and there was no work relations between the
two at all.” Therefore, he went on, the commission’s representative
told the complainant that she thinks that the Department of Discipline
would not deal with the matter any further.“There was no talk of
corruption,” Greenblatt said, referring to the complainant’s claim that
she was told Keyes was not the “first morally corrupt person in
government and won’t be the last.” Rather, Greenblatt said, a statement
was made saying that while Keyes’s conduct may have been inappropriate,
“there is nothing in what she described that would reveal a criminal or
disciplinary offense.”Earlier this month, The Times of Israel published
in some detail the woman’s account of her June 2016 encounter with
Keyes.The New York Times reported that veteran US journalist Bret
Stephens contacted Dermer in November 2016 and warned him that Keyes
“posed a risk to women in Israeli government offices.”Dermer’s office
acknowledged receiving Stephens’ message, but the ambassador decided not
to pass it on to Netanyahu because the allegations were not criminal in
nature.“Information of the call was not conveyed to the PMO. If
Stephens or anyone else had given the ambassador information on sexual
assault or any other criminal act towards women perpetrated by anyone in
the PMO — whether before or after that person was appointed — he would
have notified the PMO immediately,” Dermer’s office said in a
statement.On September 12, The Times of Israel published an exposé
regarding Keyes, citing 12 women who described a pattern of
inappropriate behavior toward themselves and other women, including at
least two accounts of what could be considered sexual assault.Since
then, four additional women have contacted The Times of Israel to
complain about their encounters with Keyes. To date, four of the women
who have complained about Keyes’s behavior have been named.Keyes has
denied any wrongdoing.It was not clear what information precisely
Stephens had provided Dermer. In Israel, sexual harassment, not only
assault, is considered a crime.Opposition MK Karine Elharrar on Sunday
called on Netanyahu to dismiss Dermer for failing to report the sexual
misconduct allegations. Elharrar, of the Yesh Atid party, told Netanyahu
in a letter that Dermer was legally obligated to pass on the warnings
of inappropriate behavior about the prime minister’s foreign media
adviser.Echoing a complaint filed Saturday to the Civil Service
Commission by Meretz MK Michal Rozin, Elharrar said that under Israel’s
Law for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment, employers must “take
appropriate action” against harassment or any knowledge thereof.She said
that even if Dermer did not believe the harassment allegations against
Keyes constituted criminal offense, he was still obligated to report the
claims according to the 1998 law.In response, the Prime Minister’s
Office said that it “wasn’t clear exactly what [Dermer] was told based
on media reports,” but his handling of the affair would be investigated
internally, according to the Ynet news site.On September 11, Julia
Salazar, who was subsequently elected to New York’s State Senate,
accused Keyes of sexually assaulting her five years ago. Wall Street
Journal reporter Shayndi Raice tweeted she too had a “terrible
encounter” with Keyes before he became Netanyahu’s spokesman. She
described him as a “predator” and someone who had “absolutely no
conception of the word ‘no.'”In the Times of Israel report published
last week, a dozen women detailed varying allegations.Keyes, 34, denied
the allegations, saying all “are deeply misleading and many of them are
categorically false.” He later said that he was taking a leave of
absence amid the uproar to try to clear his name.AP and Times of Israel
staff contributed to this report.

Cosby's appeal likely to focus on parade of accusers at his second trial-[Reuters]-By Joseph Ax-YAHOONEWS- 30, 2018
(Reuters)
- Bill Cosby's appeal of his conviction for sexual assault is expected
to focus on a Pennsylvania judge's decision to allow several accusers to
testify against him, but his challenge faces significant hurdles,
according to legal experts.The disgraced comedian's first trial hinged
largely on the credibility of a single woman, his one-time friend Andrea
Constand, who said he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 2004, and
ended in a hung jury.At his second trial in April, Montgomery County
Judge Steven O'Neill allowed the jury to hear five other women with
strikingly similar stories of sexual abuse. Cosby was found guilty and
on Tuesday was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.Cosby's lawyers
face a difficult burden in convincing an appellate court to second-guess
O'Neill's decision, experts told Reuters."I don't think that they have
any significant likelihood of winning this appeal," said Michelle
Dempsey, a law professor at Villanova University in Philadelphia. "The
evidence was solid, and the standard in Pennsylvania is clear."Other
potential appeals grounds include the decade-plus gap between the crime
and Cosby's arrest, claims of bias against the trial judge and an
alleged promise by a former district attorney not to prosecute Cosby for
the Constand incident.Cosby, once known as "America's Dad" for his role
as the beloved patriarch of the Huxtable family on the 1980s television
comedy "The Cosby Show," has been accused by more than 50 women of
sexual abuse dating back decades. Only Constand's allegations were
recent enough to lead to criminal prosecution.He was given a minimum of
three years in prison on Tuesday and immediately taken in handcuffs to
the county jail. His lawyers are expected to ask an appellate court to
free him on bail while his appeal is pending.A lawyer and a spokesman
for Cosby did not respond to a request for comment on
Wednesday.CHALLENGING OTHER ACCUSERS-Typically, testimony about "prior
bad acts" is barred from trial, under the theory that jurors may end up
convicting the defendant for misconduct unrelated to the crime in
question. But many states, including Pennsylvania, permit such witnesses
if they are called to show a specific pattern of behavior.In Cosby's
case, virtually all of his accusers have described a similar modus
operandi. He offered some form of mentorship before plying them with
drugs or alcohol in a place he controlled, such as a hotel room or his
own home, to facilitate sexual assault.At Cosby's first trial,
prosecutors sought to call more than a dozen other accusers, but O'Neill
limited them to just one: Kelly Johnson, who said Cosby drugged and
assaulted her in 1996.Ahead of the second trial, however, O'Neill gave
prosecutors permission to call five women as witnesses. He did not offer
his legal reasoning, but under Pennsylvania law, he will be required to
do so in writing if Cosby's lawyers raise the issue on appeal.In
between the two trials, the #MeToo movement, the national reckoning with
sexual misconduct by powerful men, was born following allegations
against the movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.Wesley Oliver, director of the
criminal justice program at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, said the
defense would likely question why O'Neill changed his mind."If the judge
found one to be the appropriate number the first time around, how do
you explain five the second time around?" he said in an interview after
Cosby's conviction in April. "The law didn't change between these two
cases; society changed a lot. If you're the appellate court, what do you
do with that?"The legal standard to reverse O'Neill's decision is
whether he abused his discretion, a high bar to clear, according to
experts.Nevertheless, appellate courts tend to look closely at prior bad
act witnesses because the potential for prejudice against the defendant
is also high, said Dennis McAndrews, a former Pennsylvania
prosecutor.Cosby's lawyers are also likely to renew their argument that
former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor promised Cosby
in 2005 he would not be prosecuted if he agreed to sit for a deposition
in Constand's civil case against him.The deposition, in which Cosby
acknowledged giving sedatives to young women, was unsealed a decade
later, and prosecutors cited it as a crucial piece of evidence when they
brought criminal charges.Even so, legal experts said the lack of a
written deal with Castor, as well as the fact that Cosby had his own
lawyers at the time, would make it hard for Cosby to argue that he had
an ironclad agreement.In the meantime, his family and aides are pressing
his case in the court of public opinion.Cosby was the subject of "the
most racist and sexist trial in the history of the United States," his
publicist, Andrew Wyatt, told reporters just minutes after he was led
out of the courthouse in shackles on Tuesday.(Reporting by Joseph Ax;

With new missile
defense for Syria, Russia shifts its relationship with Israel-[Christian
Science Monitor]-Fred Weir, Joshua Mitnick-YAHOONEWS-OCT 1,18
Russia
has just taken a huge gamble in Syria.It will greatly strengthen
Moscow's hand in determining the endgame in the seven-year-old civil war
if it works. But it might lead to wider conflict if other powers
accustomed to intruding into Syrian airspace with relative ease,
particularly Israel, decide to challenge the move.The Russians have
indicated that they will effectively impose what is known as A2/AD
(anti-access/area denial) over the entire Syrian theater by supplying
Syrian forces with advanced S-300 anti-aircraft systems. The missiles
will be integrated into a single, computerized air defense network and
supported by Russian-provided electronic jamming measures. It's not
quite a “no fly zone,” since the Russians would be required to announce
and enforce something like that directly.Experts say the system, which
Moscow claims will be up and running within two weeks, will be under the
nominal control of Syrian forces, but will almost certainly have a
Russian finger on the trigger. If the move is implemented, it will
compel the Israelis – who have launched 200 airstrikes against Syria in
the past 18 months – as well as other active powers such as Turkey and
the US-led coalition, to consult much more closely with Moscow if they
wish to pursue their separate military objectives in Syria, or risk
taking losses.DECONFLICTION-The Russians have been mulling this move
since 2013, when they first acceded to Israeli requests to suspend a
planned sale of the S-300s to Syria in order to preserve “regional
stability.” What prompted them to change their minds was the Sept. 17
“friendly fire” shootdown of a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance plane by an
old Soviet-made Syrian S-200 missile, killing 15 Russian military
personnel, near Russia's Khmeimim airbase in Syria during or – depending
on whom you believe – immediately after a major Israeli airstrike on a
nearby Syrian military base.There were a few days of confusion in
Moscow. Vladimir Putin, who has maintained a very close relationship
with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, initially sounded ready
to blame the incident on the fog of war. His Defense Ministry, however,
insisted the attacking Israeli F-16s had “set up” the lumbering
turboprop Il-20 by hiding behind its radar signature and making it an
easy target for the Syrian missile, which is so old it lacks any ability
to distinguish friend from foe. Two starkly different narratives about
what happened still remain in play, but the Kremlin has clearly decided
to accept the version offered by its own Defense Ministry.“Putin is not
only president, he is also commander in chief of the armed forces,” says
Alexander Sherin, deputy chair of the Russian State Duma's defense
committee. “The military are obliged to explain these things to the
Russian people, so possibly they just sound tougher. Maybe the president
was a bit more diplomatic. But everyone agrees this is a step we had to
take a long time ago. We cannot allow Syrian airspace to be turned into
a public thoroughfare.”Until now, Israel has courted Moscow to
cultivate understandings on “deconfliction.” The mechanism, which
reportedly includes a hotline between the militaries, allows Israel to
target weapons shipments destined for Hezbollah or Iranian-allied forces
in Syria, even as Russia maintained overall control in Syria in a loose
alliance with Iran. The arrangement that Mr. Putin previously had with
Mr. Netanyahu acknowledged that Israel has legitimate security concerns,
particularly in Syria's southwest, where the Israeli-occupied Golan
Heights meets Syria proper.Russia claims it has obliged Israel by
helping to roll back Iranian-linked forces from that area. It has also
allowed Israel to pursue other prongs of its strategy to contain Iranian
influence in Syria: blocking the transfer of advanced weapons to
Hezbollah that would substantially erode Israel’s advantage, and
preventing the entrenchment of Iranian and Iranian-allied forces in
Syria that could serve as a front of conflict.It is a complicated
understanding, heavily dependent on mutual goodwill, which has now
somewhat evaporated. Some suggest a new arrangement will need to be
worked out, where Russia has the upper hand.“This changes the rules of
the game. We will feel much less confident in attacking Syria, which
will make the life of the Iranians easier,’” says Alon Liel, a former
director general of the Israeli Foreign Ministry. “Israel needs Russia
very much and won’t risk a conflict.”A DIFFERENCE-MAKING WEAPON? The
late-version S-300 system that Russia plans to install in Syria, to
cover the country's entire airspace, is not a Russian top-of-the-line
air defense weapon. But it is a relatively recent member of a class of
long-range, multi-target-capable anti-aircraft systems developed over
decades by the Soviet Union and Russia that have no counterparts in the
US arsenal. That's only because the US, historically, has no need of a
weapon to defend against massed air attack.But although the S-300 has
never been tested in combat against modern Western aircraft, most
analysts agree it would be foolish to discount it.“The S-300 can prevent
uninvited air strikes in Syria,” says Konstantin Sivkov, an expert with
the official Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences. “These
other countries, like Israel, will have to change their tactics, and
perhaps that will lead to further stabilization of the situation. If
not, Syria could become the detonator of World War Three, God
forbid.”Israeli defense analysts say Israel has been preparing for the
S-300's deployment for over a decade, and that it may not prove as
significant an obstacle to Israeli operations as the Syrians and
Russians might hope. But at the very least, Israel will need to be more
circumspect in pursuing its goals in Syria. That might involve giving
Moscow more advanced warning of a strike and holding fire in case planes
are attacked by new advanced air defense systems supplied by Moscow for
fear of endangering Russian personnel.Israel will have to “be more
careful than ever,” says Eyal Zisser, a political science professor at
Tel Aviv University. “If you see a Russian airplane, don’t gamble that
the Syrians will miss. It’s not in Israel’s interest to get into a
conflict with a superpower like Russia.”‘IT'S A BIG POKER GAME’It seems
most likely that the close Putin-Netanyahu relationship will re-assert
itself, and a new modus vivendi will take hold. But not necessarily.“We
shouldn’t be confused: The very important friendship between the leaders
ultimately doesn’t outweigh [geopolitical] interests,” Mike Herzog, a
former military adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
said in an interview with Israel Army Radio. “And the Russians have
their own interests, and they’re not identical to Israeli interests.
Let’s not forget they fought alongside Iran to save Assad.”It seems
certain that the long-running, bitter, multi-sided war in Syria has
entered a new phase, perhaps a more dangerous one. Russia is hoping this
gambit will ratchet down the free-for-all air war over Syria, and force
the various players to step back and mediate their interests in the
region through Moscow. If it works, a Russian-authored Syrian endgame
might be within sight. But if it doesn't? “It's a big poker game,” says
Alexander Golts, an independent Russian military expert. “We don't
really know how effective the S-300 would be in blocking Israeli
incursions or thwarting US cruise missile attacks. So, it's a bluff. But
is anyone prepared to call it?”

South Carolina city hopeful as flooding remains a threat-[Reuters]-By Harriet McLeod and Gene Cherry-YAHOONEWS-OCT 1,18
CHARLESTON,
S.C./RALEIGH, N.C. (Reuters) - Emergency management officials in
Georgetown, South Carolina, were optimistic on Thursday that their port
community would see less flooding than previously expected in the
aftermath of Hurricane Florence.Florence, which crashed ashore two weeks
ago as a Category 1 hurricane and killed 46 people in three states, has
since dissipated, but the storm's torrential rainfall threatens to
swamp Georgetown as it drains toward the ocean.Forecasts now show
floodwaters rising two to four feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters) in Georgetown,
which sits at the confluence of the Waccamaw, Great Pee Dee and Sampit
rivers about 30 miles (50 km) south of Myrtle Beach, considerably lower
than initially feared."While we're optimistic that things are looking
better to some degree ... there will be increased levels of water in
some areas," Georgetown County Administrator Sel Hemingway said on
Wednesday. "The awareness level needs to be elevated."Officials were
still urging 6,000 to 8,000 residents to leave their homes, with rivers
expected to crest in Georgetown on Friday and remain above flood stage
for four or five days.The North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies
said preliminary research suggests that Florence was among the rainiest
storms in the United States in some 70 years.South Carolina Governor
Henry McMaster said the river flooding caused by Florence, which dropped
nearly 20 inches (50 cm) of rain in some places in the state, is
something his state has not had to cope with before.'FULL BATTLE
MODE'-"This is unprecedented and we are still in full battle mode,"
McMaster said at a press briefing on Wednesday at Emergency Management
Division headquarters in Columbia, the state capital.Flooding has
destroyed 46 homes in the state, significantly damaged more than 1,000
and forced 11,000 people to flee their homes, including 3,000 in
Georgetown, EMD Director Kim Stenson said Wednesday.In Conway County,
where the Waccamaw was already well above flood stage, Santee Cooper,
South Carolina's state-owned electric and water utility, said
floodwaters stopped rising before inundating a pond that holds more than
200,000 tons of toxic coal ash."The river’s rise has slowed and we
think it’s cresting today," utility spokeswoman Mollie Gore said from
the site, where 115 workers had shored up the dam around the pond. "We
still have a foot between the top of the river and the top of the
dam."Santee Cooper said it has removed more than 1 million tons of coal
ash, which can contaminate water and harm fish and wildlife, from the
site in the past few years.Some one to two inches of rain moving into
the central and western parts of the state in a next day or two will
prolong the flooding, said meteorologist Rich Otto of the National
Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center in College Park,
Maryland.Crews worked to erect temporary dams on either side of U.S.
Highway 17, the main coastal route through the area, and National Guard
engineers were installing a floating bridge at Georgetown in case the
highway is washed out at the river.(Reporting by Harriet McLeod and Gene

Palestinians
say 6 killed, including 14-year-old, in Gaza border clashes-20,000
gather at border, throwing hand grenades, rocks, burning tires and
sending arson balloons into Israel; troops respond with tear gas and
live fire-By TOI staff-OCT 01,18
Six Palestinians,
including a teen, were reported killed Friday as tens of thousands of
Palestinians protested along the Gaza border fence, throwing hand
grenades, rocks and burning tires in clashes with IDF troops, who
responded with tear gas, live fire and air strikes.The protests was one
of the largest and most violent in recent weeks and comes following the
break down of indirect talks with Israel over a cease-fire and warnings
that the terror group Hamas, which rules Gaza, was gearing up for
another conflict.Six people were killed, including a 14-year-old, and at
least 210 Palestinians were wounded, including an 11-year-old boy, who
was in a serious condition, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health
ministry. It said 90 of the wounded were hit by live fire.The ministry
identified two of the dead as Mohammed al-Houm, 14, and Iyad Al-Shaar,
18 and said they were shot.The IDF said about 20,000 Palestinians were
taking part in violent protests, spread out among a few locations along
the Gaza security fence.In several instances they threw hand grenades
and explosive devices at soldiers. In two cases IAF aircraft carried out
strikes against grenade throwers, the army said, noting there were no
injuries to IDF forces.One of the strikes was on a Hamas post, the army
said.IDF troops were also responding with tear gas and other less-lethal
riot dispersal means as well as live fire “in accordance with the rules
of engagement,” the army said.Also, Palestinians launched several fire
balloons into Israel, causing at least 16 blazes near Israeli towns near
the Gaza Strip, a spokesman for the Israeli Fire and Rescue Services
said. Firefighters were working to extinguish them.The riots have
increased in recent weeks, going from a weekly event to near nightly
protests since Hamas halted indirect talks with Israel aimed at a
ceasefire. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has also worsened and
reconciliation talks with the Palestinian Authority have broken
down.Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip and actively calls for Israel’s
destruction, has increased the pace of rioting and demonstrations
against Israel, and created new units tasked with sustaining tensions
along the border fence including during nighttime and early morning
hours.The Times of Israel reported on Thursday that almost every
evening, thousands of Gazans now gather for violent demonstrations at
the Erez crossing and elsewhere, as part of Hamas’s attempts to signal
to Israel that it wants an economic solution to the Gaza Strip.The
Egyptian efforts to reconcile Hamas and Fatah have not borne fruit at
this stage, and the possibility of a long-term ceasefire with Israel has
apparently fallen off the agenda, Thursday’s analysis by Times of
Israel’s Avi Issacaharoff said. The economic situation has once again
reached an unprecedented low, stoking fury among Gazans that is being
directed against Israel, the PA, Hamas and even Egypt.On Friday, the
Haaretz daily quoted Israeli security sources as saying that Hamas is
preparing for war, bolstering its forces significantly over the past few
weeks.That assessment is not new, IDF sources told the Haaretz daily
Friday, having warned repeatedly that the situation is more likely to
escalate than to calm down. However, recently the army noted that the
terror group appears to actively be readying itself for a limited
conflict with Israel. It is only a question of when Hamas will decide to
go to war, the paper said.Israeli officials believe there are two main
causes pushing Hamas toward military escalation, the newspaper report
said — the failed reconciliation talks with PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s
Fatah party, which controls the West Bank and has maintained a
chokehold on Gaza’s finances in a bid to pressure Hamas to cede control
of the territory, and the ongoing humanitarian crisis of the enclave
under the Israeli-Egyptian blockade, made worse in recent months by the
US slashing its aid to the PA and its funding for UNRWA, the UN body
responsible for the welfare of Palestinian refugees, which funds schools
and major relief projects in the Strip.The surge of violence in Gaza
began in March with a series of protests along the border that were
dubbed the “March of Return.” The clashes have included regular rock and
Molotov cocktail attacks on troops, as well as shooting and IED attacks
aimed at IDF soldiers and attempts to breach the border fence.Gaza
protesters have also launched incendiary kites and balloons into Israel,
sparking fires that have destroyed forests, burned crops and killed
livestock. Over 7,000 acres of land have been burned, causing millions
of shekels in damages, according to Israeli officials. Some balloons
have carried improvised explosive devices.Israeli fire has killed at
least 140 Palestinians during the protests since late March, according
to AP figures. Hamas, which seeks to destroy Israel, has acknowledged
that dozens of the fatalities were its members.
Rights
group slams official’s defense of Shin Bet questioning of Israel
critics-ACRI says Deputy AG issued ‘shameful’ document defending the
agency after criticism over border detainment and interrogation of
liberal US Jews and other government opponents-By TOI staff-OCT 1,18
A
civil rights group on Friday excoriated one of Israel’s top law
enforcement officials for defending the Shin Bet security service’s
detention and questioning of Israel critics at the country’s borders
that sparked widespread criticism and a government inquiry.Dan Yakir,
chief counsel for the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI),
described the letter from Deputy Attorney General Dina Zilber, who
conducted an inquiry into the incidents, as “one of the most shameful
and dangerous documents ever issued from one of the state
authorities.”Zilber’s letter also stated the Shin Bet would no longer
ask detainees at border crossings about their political views and that
regulations to that effect would be reiterated to officials at the
borders.“Apparently, the Shin Bet believes that participation in a
demonstration or a tour in the West Bank constitutes an existential
threat to the State of Israel. And the Attorney General, instead of
being angry at this, has adopted it,” charged Yakir.“The Shin Bet has
decided to define these activists as suspects of terrorist or violent
acts [sic], all in order to circumvent the restrictions that the High
Court of Justice had imposed on ‘warning conversations’.”Yakir also
noted that the only case in which the Shin Bet admitted an error had
been made was the detention and question of prominent American
journalist and Israeli government critic Peter Beinart.“Apparently, only
when it comes to the political persecution of an American journalist
capable of damaging the image of Israel, someone is willing to admit
they made a mistake,” said Yakir. “This only goes to prove the claim
that we are talking about political persecution, which aims to threaten
the critics of the occupation inside and outside Israel.”One of Israel’s
top law enforcement officials said Thursday the Shin Bet security
service would no longer ask detainees at border crossings about their
political views and that regulations to that effect would be reiterated
to officials at the borders, while defending the agency’s detentions and
questioning of Israel critics that sparked criticism and a government
inquiry.Zilber’s letter Thursday to the ACRI came at the end of a
month-long inquiry after complaints about the detentions were lodged by
the organization and other NGOs.“It should be made clear that the
questioning carried out by the Shin Bet in these situations was not
intended to interfere with [political] protest activities, but to
prevent violent and illegal actions carried out from nationalistic
motives or in relation to terrorist groups,” Zilber wrote.The
questioning at the border was “based on intelligence information that
raised concerns, and was unrelated to the political identification or
affiliation of the questionee,” Zilber said, defending the Shin Bet’s
actions.However, the letter goes on to acknowledge that some Shin Bet
and border officials behaved in ways that did not conform to the legal
and policy restrictions placed on such questioning — including notifying
the detainee that their questioning was voluntary, and avoiding
questions about their political views.“It was decided therefore, in
agreement with the Shin Bet, to refresh the [officials’ knowledge of
the] regulations among the relevant authorities, and to establish
oversight mechanisms in the relevant regulations related to such
questioning, in a way that will ensure the appropriate balance between
avoiding the potential harm to [a detainee’s] rights, the prevention of a
‘chilling effect’ [for activists], and the requirements of security,”
Zilber wrote.The Shin Bet “is committed to the letter of the law and
understands the sensitivity and delicacy that this issue requires,” she
said.In an appendix to Zilber’s letter, the agency said it received no
orders from the political leadership to begin questioning “extremist
activists from either left or right.”It said it had denied entry to
Israel of 17 foreigners who were identified as affiliated with the
radical left since the start of 2018, the same figure for the same
period in 2017.“The Shin Bet is well aware of the context in which it is
operating and the sensitivity of each questioning. The Shin Bet
carefully and specifically considers the need for each questioning,” the
agency said. “The questioning is not meant to prevent legitimate
protest activities,” it added.It said its questioning is part of an
effort to track organizations and activists working to “convince
Israelis and Palestinians to travel to sites with a high potential for
friction, and to engage in violent actions there against Jewish
residents and the security services”The letter from Zilber and the Shin
Bet follows a month-long inquiry into the questioning taking place at
Israel’s border crossings after American Jewish journalist and prominent
critic of the Israeli government Peter Beinart said he was questioned
on his political views upon arriving in the country for his niece’s bat
mitzvah last month.Beinart said he arrived in Israel with his wife and
two children to attend his niece’s bat mitzvah celebration, and that
security officers at the airport flagged him for extra screening. He was
taken for questioning, where an official repeatedly asked him whether
he was involved in organizations that might instigate violence, promote
anarchy, or threaten Israeli democracy.The interrogator also allegedly
asked about a pro-Palestinian protest he attended in Hebron during his
last visit, according to Beinart, who wrote about the experience in The
Forward newspaper.A supporter of calls to boycott Israeli settlements in
the West Bank, Beinart said he was never asked about that issue, and
was not offered a legal basis for the detention.Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu condemned Beinart’s detainment, calling it an “administrative
mistake,” and a number of left-wing Israeli figures called for an
investigation into what some had suggested was a new Israeli policy of
blacklisting liberal US Jews and critics of the government’s policies.
