Settler leader: Shin Bet behind attack on Sternhell
Nadav Shragai; 5/10/08
Daniela Weiss, a prominent settler leader detained for attacking police near her West Bank home, claimed on Saturday that she had been arrested as part of a Shin Bet Security Services anti-settler campaign. The former head of Kedumim council also claimed that last week’s pipe bomb attack against outspoken left-wing advocate Ze’ev Sternhell was masterminded by Shin Bet to turn public opinion against the settlers. “A settler would never have done a thing like that,” Weiss said. “It’s in Shin Bet’s best interest to create this provocation, in order to libel the settlers and thereby pave the way to settlement evacuation.”
