Secret Israeli Units Lived Among Palestinians for Years
By Maureen Meehan
Israelis are fascinated with the revelation that for the past 40 years
Israeli Jewish undercover agents have been passing themselves off as
Palestinians and have not only lived with and worked with Palestinians, but
have even married and had children with Palestinian women living inside
Israel.
Published in Ha'aretz, the story revealed the existence of a special branch
of the Israeli Shin Bet which sent Arab-born Jews to infiltrate Palestinian
towns and families between 1952 and 1959. Some of the agents are still
around and remain nameless; some are dead.
However, Iraqi-born Shmuel Moriah, founder and commander of the unit, told
what he could of the complex story that has been repressed all these years.
"Revealing too much could cause serious damage. Especially revealing the
names of the people and their families. It's a matter of children, women,
and the possibility of revenge," Moriah said.
Moriah explained that he recruited young Jewish immigrants from Arab
countries and how, once selected, the agents went through psychological and
graphological screening. In addition to basic intelligence work, they were
taught extensively about Islam and the Qur'an and other aspects of
Palestinian culture and history. The most difficult thing, he said, was
giving them the Palestinian accent and idiom.
Once prepared, which was a difficult task given the closeness of Palestinian
society, the young men were given a new identity and a cover story. Most
were assigned to the Upper Galilee, Nazareth, Haifa, Shraram and Bedouin
encampments in the Negev desert, all within the "Green Line" border of
Israel.
"The problems started quite quickly," Moriah told Ha'aretz. "You send a
young, vital man and throw him into an Arab environment. The young man gets
there. He is unknown and a bachelor. Those around him are suspicious. 'Who
is this bird of passage that landed in our midst?' the neighbors ask."
Moriah said the new friends and neighbors wondered why he was not married
and began to arrange matches. "The guy is under pressure. It's true that
when you send him on the mission, you do not give him orders to get married.
But it's clear to both sides that there is this expectation, to enable him
to do his job better."
Moriah goes on to recount how the most complicated problems began to occur
when the operatives, either on their own or because of a desire to please
their superiors in the Shin Bet, took up some of the offers of marriage.
Children soon followed.
"It's a matter of children, women, and the possibility of revenge."
The dilemma of one woman who discovered her husband's true identity in the
mid-1960s serves as an example of the sinister effect the secret service's
unit had on normal and unsuspecting Palestinians. After divorcing her
Israeli Jewish husband, who she had thought was a Palestinian Muslim, the
woman, herself a citizen of Israel, moved to Paris with her son. In Paris,
she met and married her second husband, who was the PLO representative in
France. Her son, a Muslim according to Jewish law and a Jew according to
Muslim law, was caught in the middle.
After her second husband died a natural death, her former husband, the Shin
Bet operative, asked the service to help persuade her to return to him. She
refused.
Moriah admitted his agency faced some painful dilemmas when it decided in
1959 to break up the unit. "What does one do with the family and children?
Do we bring them out together? The decision was that each of the operatives
should decide about his future and the future of his family.
"Suddenly you have to turn into Yossi from Ahmed," Moriah recalled, "and you
have to tell the truth to your wife. Not only are you not the Arab
nationalist you pretended to be and whom she admired, but you are a Jew. It
was not simple. And what about a woman who has to decide whether to cut off
relations with her Arab and Muslim family and join her Jewish husband?
Families were torn asunder. And what about the children? What is their
identity? Then, when a boy reaches army age, he has to decide whether to
enlist or not. He knows that his mother is Arab and his father is Jewish and
asks himself where to point his gun. There were difficult situations of
split identities."
One cannot help but ask why such units were necessary considering that
during the early years following the creation of the state of Israel, all
Arab areas were under heavy-handed military rule until 1966. The Shin Bet
has always claimed that there is no shortage of Palestinian agents among its
ranks, or at least on its list of informers and collaborators.
Moriah makes it clear that despite the personal drawbacks of the undercover
unit and the alleged availability of Palestinian Arab informers, he and his
colleagues thought the unit necessary because ultimately it was "hard to
rely on an Arab agent.Even if you supervise him well and know how to
operate, he will always tell you what he wants to tell you. That's why we
wanted reliable agents in place."
Army Equivalents
Although the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security equivalent of the FBI,
desolved its unit, known as mista'aravim, which is a combination of two
Hebrew words meaning "disguise" and "Arab," and which later was regarded as
a mistake by its founder, similar units continue to operate today within the
Israeli army.
Two such units are known as the Duvdevan and Shimson. They do not attempt to
infiltrate deeply into Palestinian circles but rather appear briefly in
villages, demonstrations and at roadblocks, or are sent into areas where
they act as death squads, such as was the case in 1995 when they opened fire
from their car and killed four Palestinian activists near Ramallah.
The case several years ago of the Duvdevan members who assassinated the
wrong Palestinian at a checkpoint, and later were released after being fined
less than a nickel for their mistake, is still fresh in the minds of people
here.
The fear now among Palestinians is that Israeli undercover units such as the
Duvdevan and Shimson may grow and, worse, that they may be joined by
counterparts from the Palestinian Authority, not to spy upon Israelis but
upon their Palestinian compatriots.
