Israel Defense Forces

[Rasputin]

The history of the Israel Defense Forces is intertwined with history of the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were formed following the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, May 14, 1948 to "defend the existence, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the state of Israel" and "to protect the inhabitants of Israel and to combat all forms of terrorism which threaten daily life". The predecessors to the IDF were the Haganah (in particular, its operative detachment, the Palmach) and the British armed forces, in particular the Jewish Brigade that fought as part of the British army during World War II.

After the establishment of the IDF, the two Jewish guerilla armies, the Irgun and Stern gang came under control of the IDF. But they were allowed to operate independently in Jerusalem until the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war after which they eventually disbanded.

Israel
Israel is also thought to possess an arsenal of potentially up to several hundred nuclear warheads and associated delivery systems, but this has never been openly confirmed or denied.

An Israeli nuclear installation is located about ten kilometers to the south of Dimona, the Negev Nuclear Research Center. Its construction commmenced in 1958, with French assistance. The official reason given by the Israeli and French governments was to build a nuclear reactor to power a "desalination plant", in order to "green the Negev". The purpose of the Dimona plant is widely assumed to be the manufacturing of nuclear weapons, and the majority of defence experts have concluded that it does in fact do that. However, the Israeli government refuses to confirm or deny this publicly, a policy it refers to as "ambiguity".

Norway sold 20 tonnes of heavy water needed for the reactor to Israel in 1959 and 1960 in a secret deal. There were no "safeguards" required in this deal to prevent usage of the heavy water for non-peaceful purposes. The British newspaper Daily Express accused Israel of working on a bomb in 1960. [3] When the United States intelligence community discovered the purpose of the Dimona plant in the early 1960s, it demanded that Israel agree to international inspections. Israel agreed, but on a condition that US, rather than IAEA, inspectors were used, and that Israel would receive advanced notice of all inspections.

Some claim that because Israel knew the schedule of the inspectors' visits, it was able to hide the alleged purpose of the site from the inspectors by installing temporary false walls and other devices before each inspection. The inspectors eventually informed the U.S. government that their inspections were useless due to Israeli restrictions on what areas of the facility they could inspect. In 1969, the United States terminated the inspections.

In 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, a former technican at the Dimona plant, revealed to the media some evidence of Israel's nuclear programme. Israeli agents kidnapped him from Italy, drugged him and transported him to Israel, and an Israeli court then tried him in secret on charges of treason and espionage, and sentenced him to eighteen years imprisonment. He was freed on April 21st, 2004, but was severely limited by the Israeli government. He was arrested again on November 11, 2004, though formal charges were not immediately filed.

Profile 21 is a code used by the military of Israel to classify Israelis who are deemed to have physical or psychological disabilities making them permanently unfit for military service. Such individuals can still volunteer for service, however, usually being placed in rear-echelon positions.

Additionally, Profile 24 is a code used to classify those who are deemed temporarily unfit for military service. Those with this classification will generally be reclassified within a year as either fit for military service or as Profile 21.

In recent years some Israelis have begun to use Profile 21 as a means of avoiding conscription, which is universal in Israel. This usually takes the form of deliberately failing medical exams so as to appear unfit for military service. Most often, recruits or soldiers pretend to be mentally ill, due to very few individuals receiving Profile 21 on a non-psychological basis.

Soldiers who have already been recruited by the IDF may see a psychologist, called Ktzin Bri'ut Nafshit (kaban, lit. "Mental Health Officer"), who is authorized to refer the soldier to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist is then able to recommend Profile 21.

There are a number of problems in civilian life for soldiers who are deemed unfit for military service with Profile 21. Previously, most employers, especially when hiring employees without experience, looked to the employee's service records to evaluate their work ethic and potential. In 1994 such behavior was made illegal, however, a soldier exempt from the army on Profile 21 receives an exemption certificate instead of a discharge certificate, allowing employers to find out whether they have been classified as such. Persons with Profile 21 with mental illness as the reason may not acquire a driver's license for a public vehicle in Israel (e.g. an ambulance), and may have trouble acquiring a regular public license. They are also denied certain services.

پزشكان ارتش اسرائيل به سربازان كوكائين تزريق مي*كنند


يكي از پزشكان ارتش رژيم صهيونيستي به اتهام استفاده از داروهاي خطرناك و تزريق كوكائين به بيماران خود دستگير شد.



به نقل از روزنامه صهيونيستي "يديعوت آحارونوت"، افسران پليس اسرائيل يكي از پزشكان ارتش را به اتهام تزريق داروهاي خطرناك به سربازان دستگير كرده*اند و در نمونه*هاي پزشكي گرفته شده از اين افراد، كوكائين پيدا شده است.

بر اساس اين گزارش، پزشك دستگير شده در لشكر زرهي شمال خدمت مي*كرده است و اكنون به اتهام استفاده از كوكائين در تزريقات خود به سربازان توسط پليس دستگير شده است.

پزشك دستگير شده در دادگاه بدوي كه روز جمعه تشكيل شد، اين اتهامات را رد كرد اما قاضي دستور داده تا وي تا روز دوشنبه در زندان نگهداري شود.

پيش از اين نيز دو سرباز اين رژيم به اتهام انبار مقادير زياد مواد مخدر و مشروب در سنگر خود در خط مقدم جبهه دستگير شده بودند.

خشم وزير دفاع اسرائيل از حمله به رام*الله


وزير دفاع رژيم صهيونيستي در پي بي*نتيجه ماندن نشست شرم*الشيخ به خاطر حمله نيروهاي صهيونيستي به رام*الله از اين حمله به خشم آمده است.



به نقل از شماره امروز روزنامه صهيونيستي هاآرتس، "عمير پرتس" از طرح حمله ارتش رژيم صهيونيستي به رام*الله همزمان با برگزاري نشست شرم*الشيخ بي*اطلاع بوده و پس از شنيدن موضع به خشم آمده است.

نشست شرم*الشيخ با حضور "ايهود اولمرت" نخست*وزير اسرائيل و "حسني مبارك" رئيس*جمهوري مصر برگزار شد و قرار بود در آن، مساله آزادي "گلعاد شاليت" اسير اسرائيلي در قبال آزادي شماري از اسراي فلسطيني بررسي شود اما حمله صهيونيست*ها به رام*الله در كرانه باختري بر فضاي اين نشست سايه افكند و آن را بي*نتيجه گذاشت.

هاآرتس در ادامه نوشت پرتس در اوج بحث و تبادل*نظر خود با افسران بلندپايه وزارت دفاع رژيم صهيونيستي گزارشي درباره حمله به رام*الله دريافت كرده و از آن به شدت خشمگين شده است.

بنابر اين گزارش پرتس از ارتش خواسته درباره روند تحولات شرح و توضيح دهد.

اين روزنامه اسرائيلي در ادامه نوشت سرلشكر "يئير ناويه" از فرماندهان صهيونيست حمله به رام*الله را تاييد كرده است.
