HELE artikkelen i Haaretz 12. april 2022:
The story is always the same: Following a bloody terror attack, the prime minister, defense minister and chief of staff stand before the microphones and proudly announce how many terror attacks had been prevented in the weeks leading up to the attack that was not prevented.
The nation should know that its guardians are as alert as ever, and that it’s just that the terrorists refuse to cooperate with Israel’s deterrence and counterterrorism efforts.
It was the same last week. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett declared that 15 attacks had been prevented,
Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi spoke of “at least 10” and Defense Minister
Benny Gantz touted 200 arrests, and promised he was ready to make
thousands. This is all very impressive, but one statistic was not
relayed to the public for some reason, namely how many attacks were
caused by all these mighty efforts to thwart, prevent and deter.
The attackers don’t set out to do harm just out of boredom. And,
contrary to popular belief, they are not determined to wipe out the
entire Jewish people, just like the fighters of the Jewish pre-state
militias were not out to wipe out the entire British people, Algeria’s
FLN had no intentions of exterminating the French people and French
Resistance fighters had no intention of finishing off each and every
German.
All of the above committed attacks because they were occupied, because their liberty and their rights had been stolen from them, because they had been severely abused by the occupiers’ acts of prevention and deterrence.
For example, think of the common Israeli practice of raiding homes in the middle of the night, pulling youngsters out of their beds, beating them up and handing them over to investigators who threaten them and put them through the wringer. How many terror attacks has this practice prevented and how many has it given rise to?
Or the lovely custom of demolishing the homes of innocent people because someone in the family was involved in a terror attack. This surely deters people. But how many of them will decide to pick up a kitchen knife and avenge the family that was left homeless?
And the regular abuses by the local “captain” of those subject to his arbitrary authority, how many attacks have they foiled and how many have they caused?
And the humiliation of parents in front of their children, and the serial
theft of land for punks from the settlements, and the blackmailing of
those seeking medical treatment so they’ll act as collaborators, and the
denial of work permits, the negation of any chance of a decent life,
the endless abuse at the checkpoints, the torture in the interrogation
rooms and the dozens of bodies that were taken from their families and
kept in refrigerators (Punishment? Evil? Bargaining material? The devil
only knows). Not to mention the appalling ease with which killing is
done, as if this was just bird-hunting. How many attacks has the
aggregation of all these things prevented, and how many has it wrought?
Logic therefore requires that, whenever the politicians laud the number
of attacks that have been prevented, the public should also be informed
about the other side of the coin. It could go something like this: “In
the past few months, the security forces prevented 18 terror attacks,
and created pretexts for 179 new terror attacks. Five of those occurred
this month. A statement will be made about the other attacks after they
are committed.”
This is precisely the trap for every occupier: The more actions it takes “to thwart, prevent and deter,” the more pretexts for attacks these actions create. And the more attacks there are, the more the efforts to thwart, prevent and deter increase. So it goes ad nauseam, until the occupation ends or catastrophe occurs.
Once upon a time, years ago, there was one way out of this vicious cycle
– through genocide, as the Spaniards committed with the Aztecs and
Incas, the Americans with the Native Americans and the Australians with
the Aborigines. To the dismay of many Israelis, this method is no longer
in fashion. It has lost its charm. What a shame our current occupation
didn’t happen back in the days of Yehoshua Bin-Nun.
