You Must Be Kidding: 
The World Zionist Organization's Settlement Division used Israeli public funds to provide a mortgage for a settlement home belonging to Gilad Ach, who heads the Ad Kan nongovernmental organization, which employs undercover agents tasked with infiltrating left-wing organizations and documenting their operations from the inside, Kerem Navot, a group working to prevent the dispossession of Palestinian West Bank land, revealed. Construction in this settlement, Eli, is illegal under Israeli law since a master plan for it was never approved. The entire settlement of Eli is therefore illegal and none of its houses have permits, Haaretz+ reported.

Interviews:
Menachem Landau, former head of the Jewish (terror) unit in the Shin Bet, speaks: "The Shin Bet is the most דשמק institution in this crazy country"
Shocked by the extremism of the (Jewish) hilltop youth, in favor of the death penalty for terrorists, even if they are Jewish, and disappointed by the lack of support for the Shin Bet from the government. Landau, 71, was the head of the Shin Bet security service and the head of the Jewish Unit before the brigade was established. (Interviewed by Mordechai Haimovitz in Maariv)
You said in the past that the death penalty should be set for terrorists, even for Jewish terrorists?
"If it is an exceptional case - yes."
What is an exceptional case?
"I do not want to go into definitions, just say that terror is terror is terror."
You don’t have a problem?
"Basically, I am against the death penalty for fear that an error may have been made, but if it is beyond doubt in something very, very brutal, I have no problem."
The death penalty also for Jewish terrorists?
"Everyone.”
Everyone?
"There are no discounts. It is time for those wild ones to understand that there is a government in the State of Israel, in which there is a law. My entire life I was educated on the knees of stateliness.”

In these 30 years, the things have changed. In Landau's days in the Jewish (terror) unit, the main actors were older, more ideological….The cooperation with the (Shin Bet) service was good, because it was clear to the public that terror cells in the area would damage the settlement enterprise...(Now the settler hilltop youth) don’t want anyone to dictate to them how to live, so they went to the hills. They made certain to separate themselves from their ancestors in everything, first of all in the mirror. The crocheted skullcap was replaced by the large woolen cap...Their house was the drifty hill or the remote (shipping) container. Each site provided conditions of isolation with God and sheep. The discourse has changed and the language has not lagged behind…From the middle of the previous decade, the concept of a "price tag" began to crystallize. In the beginning, they devoted themselves to collecting the price of their evictions in Judea and Samaria, and continued to send revenge messages on Palestinian terror and ultimately it deteriorated to attacks on Palestinians for no immediate reason.
These are only young people from the settlements?
"The hill top youth come from all over the country. More ideological leaders know how to play with their heads, to spur them into violence that could endanger their lives. These children are between the ages of 15 and 16, not all of them live in outposts - they leave the house or the settlement or the yeshiva at dawn, and their father can’t see that? There is social pressure that makes people not hear or see (what they are doing), and I say to myself, 'Wait a minute, what's happening to you, don’t you have an interest in this phenomenon being eradicated?'"
As a kippa, as a yeshiva student, did not you feel a connection, an empathy for suspects with a background similar to yours?
"They don’t have a background similar to mine. I was not in the hills, they evaded military service and I enlisted in the IDF. Wearing a kippah and a beard doesn’t give them any discounts."
You never felt bad about what you did?
"A murderer is a murderer, no matter whether he is a Jew or an Arab, and if we are forgiving when he hits the Arabs, it will come back to us like a boomerang.”
For example...
"Didn’t they try to assassinate Professor Zeev Sternhell (Jack Teitel )? And why? Because of his opinions."
The criticism of the (Shin Bet) service, what does it do to the ranks?
"I got to talk to a few, it did not hurt their motivation, but to tell you that it does not hurt them, one of them said to me: 'I'm putting my hand in the country's dirty mouth, I expect at least the leaders to stand behind me even when I make a mistake.’”
What is the answer to such a statement?
"I justified him 100 percent, and I told him, 'I don’t know about the state, but from us, your guys, you have backing.'"
The Shin Bet as an organization changed somewhat after the barrage (of criticism) it absorbed?
"It's still a nature reserve, the most sane, most normal body in this crazy country."
You've become a leftist.
"I'm not a leftist, I'm a stately.”
