The former head of Mossad reiterated the apartheid nature of the Zionist regime.
According to New Arab, the former head of the Mossad reiterated his position that Israel is an apartheid structure.
Tamir Bardo, the former head of the Foreign Intelligence Organization of the Zionist regime, in his recent interview with Israel TV, emphasized his position that Israel is an apartheid entity. Indeed, despite widespread criticism in Tel Aviv, Tamir Bardo has not backed down from his view that Israel is an apartheid structure.
Tamir Bardo, who served as head of the infamous Mossad until a few years ago between 2011 and 2016, told Israel’s Channel 12 TV: “The fact that there are two populations in the same territory is apartheid by definition. In these two populations, one lives according to military laws, and the other lives according to Israeli laws, and this means apartheid.
Bardo also referred to a request by Smotrich, a hard-line minister in Netanyahu’s cabinet, earlier this year, in which Smotrich called for the “wiping out” of the Palestinian village of Hawara. Bardo also referred to the claims of Netanyahu’s cabinet minister of national security, Ben Guerr, last month, in which Ben Guerr claimed to prioritize his family’s right to travel in the West Bank over the rights of Palestinians.
Bardo is one of the few former senior officials of the Israeli regime who has compared the situation in the West Bank to apartheid. Also last month, Amiram Levin, a former Israeli general and former deputy head of the Mossad, not only compared Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to apartheid but went further and likened it to Nazi Germany.
Leading human rights groups in Tel Aviv, as well as Palestinians and the United Nations, liken Israel’s 56-year illegal military occupation of the West Bank to an apartheid system that deprives Palestinians of their rights.
Last week, the former head of the Israeli Intelligence Service (Mossad) admitted that this regime is implementing apartheid and racial discrimination in the West Bank. “Tamir Bardo” in a conversation with the Associated Press added: In a land where two nations are subject to two legal systems, the apartheid system prevails. Yes, this is a racist government.
Although Bardo did not explain whether he believed in this during his time as head of the Mossad between 2011 and 2016, he emphasized his belief that the Palestinian issue was one of Israel’s most important issues before Iran’s nuclear program, which Benjamin Netanyahu The Prime Minister of Israel considers it an existential threat.
The former head of the Mossad added that during his time as head of the Mossad, he repeatedly warned Netanyahu that the (fake) borders of Israel must be defined, otherwise, there is a risk of the destruction of the Jewish state.
These statements of the former head of the intelligence service of the Zionist regime, while he has become an outspoken critic of Netanyahu and his cabinet’s efforts to change the structure of the judicial system of this regime since last year.
Last week, the Hebrew language newspaper Yediot Aharonot, in response to the recent statements of former Mossad chief Tamir Bardo about the Zionist regime’s racist and apartheid policy in the West Bank, called these statements a cause for concern in Zionist circles and a shock at the political level. This newspaper wrote: “High-ranking officials and expert lawyers in the field of international law have expressed their concern about the statements made by such high-ranking former security officials and some ministers in the recent period and declared that this issue could cause Israel to quickly move towards facing criminal actions in international courts.
On the other hand, one of the high-ranking political officials attacked Bardo and said: These statements are exaggerated and give space to Israel’s enemies.
He went on to say: The use of the word apartheid and racism by a person who was the head of the Israeli security apparatus in the past causes us unnecessary harm.
This high-ranking Zionist official continued: We will pay for such statements in international legal courts. There is no need to make such statements and it is disgraceful to make such statements.
