CD with top secret stolen IDF documents missing
Anat Kam has told the media that she wanted to change how the IDF relates to the 'Palestinians' in Judea and Samaria, and that when she did not succeed in doing so during the course of her military service, she decided to expose the IDF's 'crimes.' "I did not succeed in changing many of the things I wanted to change during my military service. I thought exposing them would bring about change, and this is why it was important for me to publicize the IDF policies in the territories," Kamm said.Who the hell does this 22-year old pisher think she is? Who the hell is she to decide that the things that the IDF does to protect us from the kinds of murderous suicide attacks that took place here between 2000 and 2004 are 'crimes'? Has she been to law school? Has she studied criminal law or human rights law?
Following her hearings, Hammer said Kamm "did not think her actions jeopardized the state's security since she did not think the journalist will focus on the nuances of IDF operative activity but rather on the principles of policy underlying decisions by the major general and his staff officers. She turned to Israeli journalists because she believed the censor would not allow the publication of material whose publication carried security risks."And what the hell did that have to do with stealing the country's deployment plans in case of war?
But the IDF is not guiltless either.
Tel Aviv District Court judge Zeev Hammer, who presided over hearings in Kamm's case already two months ago, was sharply critical of the military. "I was amazed by this inconceivable failure and faulty, careless information-security procedures," he said.No, it's completely conceivable. Because we live in a country whose media and academia is dominated by a Leftist elite. Therefore, the Shin Bet (General Security Service) has a 'Jewish section' that is run by Leftists that seeks to investigate political activists on the Right, but has falsely assured itself that there is nothing to investigate on the Left. Ha'aretz - which ought to be shut down until it brings Kam's partner in crime back from London - has more of Judge Hammer's comments.
Presiding Judge Ze'ev Hammer wrote that "in order to inform the public of several aspects of IDF action in the West Bank, or to investigate war crimes in the West Bank, there is no need to gather and steal thousands of classified documents from the IDF which deal with the various military planning and action."But here's the clincher from JPost:
"Kam admitted during her investigation that her computer is not guarded and that she did not take interest into where the Haaretz reporter Uri Blau would store the documents or who would have access to them," Hammer added.
"She disrespected their [the document's] safekeeping and the importance and secrecy of the information," Hammer added.
[Kam] also said she had lost a disc onto which she had copied IDF computer presentations, and had no idea what happened to it.Kam should be locked up just like Yigal Amir (who was convicted of assassinating Yitzchak Rabin) is locked up for life. She has done at least as much damage to the country and probably more. She 'doesn't know' what happened to a CD of top secret documents that she stole from the IDF? What could go wrong?

The Shin Bet and the IDF are acting on the assumption the CD has fallen into the hands of Israel's enemies and they are changing everything. But the damage is already done. You had a naive young woman who took it on herself to decide what should be made public and you had a reporter who went along with her crime by becoming her partner instead of turning her in and thus putting the country's safety first. And of course there is the Leftist elite in Israel that justifies treason with high minded sophistry.
I don't know whether anything will be learned from this affair. Its consequences will continue to haunt Israel for a long time to come.
Kam is far from naive. She is an able and willing enemy of the state, a traitor who happens to hold extreme left-wing views. She is much worse than the notorious Tali Fahima, who did some jail time for aiding and abetting a known terrorist. That she carried out her crimes over such a long period of time is reprehensible to the highest degree. I hope that she is imprisoned for the rest of her life. But, considering our toothless, left-leaning, right-bashing Supreme Court, I don't think this will come to pass.
Deport her and her family to Gaza, and repeat the expression "YHS"M" when talking about them. That'll make any Israeli think twice.
Imprisonment?
How about a public execution?
