My real name is "Daniel"... The undercover story within the Israeli regime

We have always been amazed at the details of political conflicts and the stories of some of their members, which we often think of as a fantasy.

Even in the cinema itself, when the movie “Wlad Al-Am” presented us with an exciting intelligence story that began when “Ezzat” (Sherif Mounir) revealed to his wife “Salwa” (Mona Zaki) about his true personality, and that he is an Arabized Israeli and an officer in the Israeli intelligence and not an Arab Muslim as I thought Perhaps the vast majority of viewers thought that this is only a cinematic story from the author’s imagination, but the reality sometimes matches the imagination, as the story of these Arabists tells us in reality, and they are Jewish officers who hid for a long time or a little among the Arabs to accomplish specific tasks that serve the interests and security of “Israel” ".

The first Arabists

The "undercover" team, or "mustravim" as it is pronounced in Hebrew, is one of the special Israeli teams whose movements and activities are surrounded by a lot of secrecy.

This team consists of a mixture of men affiliated with the various Israeli agencies, such as the General Security Service "Shin Bet" or the intelligence service "Mossad", and sometimes the Israeli police itself.

(1) The first appearance of the idea of ​​Arabization goes back to before the establishment of the Israeli occupation state, and the Zionist gangs were not the ones who initiated the initiative. Rather, the idea came from the British who suggested to the Zionist leadership to exploit the capabilities enjoyed by the Oriental Jews who settled Palestine, by selecting a group of them And work to recruit them in an intelligence framework, then plant them among the Arabs inside and outside Palestine.

(2)

The need for Arabists increased after the Nazis entered Paris and the establishment of the Vichy government loyal to them in France, which led to the fall of both Syria and Lebanon under Nazi control, and raised the fears of the British, who wanted to protect their war bases and strategic locations in the Middle East, especially Egypt and Palestine.

The idea quickly brewed in the minds of the British and Zionists, and its implementation began in 1943, when Isaac Sadeh, commander of the Palmach Brigade, announced the adoption of a strategy that would use Jews of Arab origin to serve the Zionist project and establish a Jewish state on the lands of Palestine.

The first undercover unit was called "hashahar", a Hebrew word meaning dawn, and it fell under the banner of "palmah".

This unit contributed to providing a lot of accurate information about the Palestinian society and the surrounding societies, starting in the year 1950, when the Arabists worked to support the military and political leaders to understand what is going on in Palestine and other Arab countries.

At the same time, the British benefited from this unity in fighting the Germans, and at the same time putting an end to French ambitions in the Middle East, and then in handing over the lands of Palestine to the Zionist movement in implementation of the Balfour Declaration.

The real translation of this cooperation began during the first meetings between the British Special Operations Unit in Syria and the Arab Department in the Palmach, and the cooperation between the two parties deepened when the British supervised the training of Jewish fighters in order to carry out intelligence and sabotage operations against the Arabs.

After the establishment of the occupation state, the Ashkenazi Jews realized that their control of the country, its institutions and its scenes would not be achieved without second-class citizens, the “Sephardic” (Jews of the East), because of their mastery of a set of skills that the Jews of the West lacked at the time, chief among them being proficiency in the Arabic language. Learn about local customs and traditions.

Accordingly, the leaders of the Haganah and the Palmach succeeded in recruiting many Sephardic Jews to work in the undercover unit inside and outside Palestine. Intelligence and its delivery to the Israeli leadership, which acted in the light of this.

(4)

The Sephardic, as it is known, suffered from racial discrimination, and their Arabists were not the best of luck. Gamaliel Cohen, a famous Arabist, says that Arab Jews knew discrimination since they set foot in occupied Palestine. When some of the Zionists arrived in "Israel", the Ashkenazim was quick to adopt Western children, while refusing to adopt Arab children from their brothers in faith under the pretext of cultural difference.

(5) But at the same time, this obstacle was one of the most prominent incentives that prompted the Arabists to work with the Israeli forces. One of their first tasks was to supervise the assassination of a number of Germans with Nazi ideology after the end of World War II, as the Ashkenazim arranged to carry out this operation by means of the Arabists. , so that it would appear to public opinion that the Arabs were the ones who did this, and that the Jews had nothing to do with this process.

(6)

The role of the Arabists, of course, was not limited to that, as they had an important role in activating the migration of Jews from Arab countries to the occupied lands, where they began in Iraq in 1947, then expanded in the early fifties to include their efforts in other Arab countries, and all of this was implemented under the supervision of a pivotal figure who is Shmuel Moriah, one of the most prominent leaders of the Israeli General Security Service "Shin Bet." He was responsible for forming this unit, which was later called the "Death Unit".

In reality

Far from the stereotypical image of the traditional intelligence man, who smiles little, smokes cigarettes continuously and appears well-groomed, assertive and formally dressed at the same time, the Arabists live a completely different life. It is true that it is a life tainted by secrecy, but its external appearance is interesting.

Paradoxically, the life of the Arabist begins, as in most Arab and Islamic societies, with the establishment of the dawn prayer in congregation, where he prays with people, and then goes out to his normal life, as he is either a street vendor or a wage worker or an unemployed person like a large segment of the youth of the Arab world.

The Arabist may be a young man, and he may appear as an old man leaning on a crutch whose old age will never be doubted, before returning to his twenties quickly when he intervenes to arrest a person or assassinate another enemy of the occupying state.

The Arabists have always chosen their places of work very carefully since the beginning of the occupation. It is no coincidence that they chose the central Arab cities as the basis for political, economic, social and intellectual life.

A list has been drawn up of strategic sites in the Arab world to be targeted by sabotage and terrorist operations, including Arab cities in Syria and Lebanon such as Damascus, Homs, Hama, Aleppo, Beirut, Tripoli and Lebanon's coastal and mountain resorts, and then in Egypt such as Cairo, Alexandria and Port Said, in addition to a number of cities occupied by the occupied territories. Its head is Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine.

(7) The Arabists focused on the oil refineries in Lebanon and Syria to transmit information about them to the military intelligence in order to arrange operations to harm them. These teams also collected miscellaneous information about airports in several Arab countries to target them and affect civil and military air traffic, in addition to train stations and markets and other vital facilities.

The undercover tasks developed after that and took more violent forms. They were not satisfied with providing the security services in Israel with important information, but they themselves turned into a tool in the hands of these agencies to carry out operations closer in nature to gang crimes than to the behavior of security institutions, which was later revealed by a series of The operations carried out by the Israeli "security" team, which rose to prominence during the first intifada.

(8) The Intifada was the most prominent station to highlight the work of the undercover soldiers, as the security services used them extensively to repress the Palestinians. The Duvdevan unit in the West Bank and the Samson unit in Gaza played a major role in the Israeli operations at the time.

In addition to the normal security measures such as curfews, confronting protesters with violence, and restricting the movement of people and goods, the undercover paper appeared who helped the occupation forces arrest the masked people and members of the popular committees who led the uprising.

(9)

These units used four basic techniques: disguise, acting, penetration, and violence.

Disguise and representation mean, of course, identification with the Arab community in appearance, language and local accent. The importance of disguise does not stop at facilitating the transfer of Arabs to sensitive neighborhoods that the ordinary Israeli soldier or policeman would not dare to enter, but rather went beyond that to spreading terror and suspicion in the ranks of the Arab community.

These methods reinforce the image that Israel is always trying to establish about itself as a dangerous, penetrating state that is capable of doing anything because its capabilities are unlimited and superior to its Arab enemies, an exaggerated image as many battles in Palestine and Lebanon have proven time and time again, and even as the chapters of the conflict proved Intelligence extended with Iran, and before that with Egypt during the wars of the two countries.

Numerous photos and video recordings showed how the undercover work, who often transformed in a matter of seconds from protesters throwing stones to the occupation soldiers, to policemen who arrested the protesters after one of them put on the hat of the Israeli "police" in moments.

However, talking about “violence” as a method of these people does not stop at this point, but rather goes far beyond that, and the stories in this regard are many.

Cold-blooded killers

On Thursday, November 12, an undercover unit stormed Al-Ahly Hospital in Hebron, in the southern West Bank, to arrest a Palestinian young man named "Azzam Ezzat Shalalda", who had been shot by settlers two weeks before that day.

The Arabists entered the hospital disguised as an Arab family escorting a woman about to give birth, then they bypassed the maternity ward and headed to the surgery department to arrest Shalalda. From this Israeli force that suddenly revealed itself.

(10)

This was just another story that proved to us that the work of the undercover unit is far from the logic of the security establishment affiliated with states and that it is closer to the "mafia" that sets its goals and implements them away from the rule of law.

In the same vein, another incident occurred, this time narrated by a Jewish couple who were visiting an Arab family in a West Bank village. On their way, the couple encountered a group of people dressed in Arab clothes shooting at a group of masked Arabs who were writing some slogans on the walls.

(11) The couple thought that the case was related to a conflict between two Arab parties, before it became clear that the gunmen were nothing but an Israeli undercover group.

These Arabists - according to the wife's account - did not seek to stop these Arab youth, and did not bother to fire warning shots, but aimed their weapons directly at the young men, and described them in cold blood, just as it had previously happened on March 22, 1992, when a team of Arabists entered To a football field in "Toul Karam" during a local match, looking for a young man named "Jamal Ghanem", and they shot him directly, and he fell to the ground, then they started shooting towards the spectators' seats in order to evacuate the stadium.

(12) Again, a similar thing happened in 1988 when an undercover car stopped in front of a meat shop for the “Al-Kurdi” family in Gaza City. Region.

(13)

In the first four years of the first intifada, undercover Arabs carried out 45 assassinations, and killed 74 Palestinians in the second intifada.

(14) They were allowed to carry out their tasks using the highest levels of violence to achieve the goals of the occupying state, without their secret missions being subject to legal accountability. Indeed, the Zionist security institutions were keen to shed light, even a little, on the importance of the Arabized element within the Zionist system. Thirty Arabs were honored out of 100 people who got He was awarded honorary medals between 2000-2009, in return for the great services they rendered to the occupying state and their attempt to liquidate certain Palestinian personalities.

I'm not me.. tales of double life

The Arabists are divided into two main types: The first type is Arabists who carry out ordinary business and move to arrest a wanted person or liquidate a person whose political and social activity Israel seeks to curb. They are the Arabists who go to live among the Arabs, mixing with them day and night for many years, until they are a living eye for the occupier from within the ranks of the Palestinian people.

With the establishment of the first units of the Musta’ribites, the Israelis sent a number of spies to settle in some Palestinian villages. These Israelis concocted tales that prompted the villagers to embrace them, on the grounds that they were sons of neighboring villages or Arabs who had lost their way.

These young people (aged between 18-20 years) underwent strict cultural, social and religious training and preparations so as not to arouse suspicion, and they faced a real problem because of the Iraqi dialect spoken by most of them. Therefore, Moshe Piamanta, an expert on the Palestinian Khalili dialect, was hired, who He made sure to teach them the keys to this dialect and force them to speak it exclusively among themselves so that they would prepare for their tasks.

These young people were implanted in Palestinian residential communities in cities and villages within the occupied territories, and during the same period, the phenomenon of infiltration of Palestinian refugees who tried to return to their lands began, and the Israeli police were arresting them and taking them to prisons. Imprisonment for the purpose of establishing relations with detainees from the people of the country.

As for the Arabists outside prisons, they lived in the midst of the Arab community, but they raised the discussion in certain periods after their stay regarding marriage, as it was not natural for them not to marry in a society in which many young men marry at a relatively early age.

Therefore, the "Shin Bet" decided to grant complete freedom to the Arabists to marry whomever they wanted.

Consequently, a number of Arabists became heads of families consisting of Arab wives and sons who think that their fathers are nothing but Arab Muslims who work hard to earn their living. They start their day with the dawn prayer in the mosques and end it with the evening prayer, while the real head of the family is a Zionist Jew who works for the benefit of Israel, its security and its people.

(17)

Many Arabists lived a double life. They are Israeli Zionists with specific tasks, but at the same time they are husbands to Arab women inside and outside the occupied territories, and they have a life, a career, and children, at least until a while.

This file was kept secret and shrouded in a great deal of secrecy, until in 1998 the Israeli journalist Yossi Melman revealed information he had from one of the official authorities about the file of undercover Arabs working under a "deep cover" and were able to break into the Arab social fabric.

The information shocked and shamed the Shin Bet because of its moral outrage.

In turn, other Arabists resorted to a more extreme end, as happened in the story of agent "Meir Yisrael".

, who assumed the character of a Palestinian Muslim teacher who married a Palestinian Christian girl, and after the end of his mission between Syria and Lebanon, he left his artificial life without informing his wife and returned to live his Jewish life in Israel, as well as what happened in the most bizarre story of a Zionist agent in Nazareth who married in the fifties a Palestinian girl and gave birth to her Children, before disappearing overnight, he only appeared through a single message he sent in 1967 from Brazil and disappeared again after that.

(18)

Despite the atrocity of the method, the Israelis did not show any regret for destroying the lives of entire families under the pretext of “the security of the Israeli state.” Many Arabs are still wreaking havoc in the land of Palestine, being arrested and assassinated in cold blood, without any signs of accountability, legal accountability or pressure on the horizon. international community to put an end to this criminal behavior in achieving the goals of their alleged state.

In the end, it is not surprising that those who belong to Israel fake a whole fake life for themselves that does not differ much from the fake world and the false narratives that their country fabricated itself in order to find a foothold on the Arab map, and claim a legacy that allows it to gain international recognition.
