Putting Jewish Extremists in Administrative Detention
"Shin Bet director Yuval Diskin said Tuesday that the agency was considering putting some Jewish extremists in administrative detention.
Diskin, who was speaking to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said he believed that most of the public who oppose disengagement were acting through legitimate means, but there were "small groups" that were marring the image of others.
Diskin characterized the group that could be detained as "Kahanists" who live in illegal outposts in the West Bank. He said the group believes in violent activity and was present at the recent demonstrations near Gaza.
MKs from both sides of the political map reacted harshly to the report of rabbis conducting a death curse (pulsa denura) against Sharon.
National Religious Party chairman Zevulun Orlev said the ceremony that had been carried out against Yitzhak Rabin had caused "immeasurable damage" to the religious public and settlement movement.
"This terrible crime cannot be repeated now," he said. Orlev added that the act had caused damage to the "legitimate, mass protest" against the disengagement plan.
Shas leader Eli Yishai said that, at this time, acts should be taken to unite the people and not sow hatred.
Meretz-Yahad MK Ran Cohen called on Attorney-General Menachem Mazuz to arrest the suspects and warned against a deteriorating atmosphere like that which preceded Rabin's assassination.
MK Uri Ariel (National Union), who is a settler leader, said the people who committed the act were "irresponsible" and spreading hatred among Jews.
Diskin categorically denied that the Shin Bet was operating "provocateurs" among groups of demonstrators. But he said the Shin Bet was taking steps against small groups of extremists that are acting secretly to commit illegal acts.
One group has been uncovered in Moshav Beit Gamliel, near Rehovot, where road nails and oil were being prepared for targeting highways. According to Diskin, the group started as regular road demonstrators.
As for the Temple Mount, Diskin said the Shin Bet has not found any groups making operative plans for an attack but was continuing to monitor the situation."
