And about Dagan.
Everyone knows that intelligence agencies live in a totally different world than we do. They cooperate with agencies from enemy states, they have ultra-friendly relations totally outside political constraints.
Their political pronoucements have no value precisely because their job demands disconnection from politics. The Israeli media should stop turning everyone of Dagan’s whispers into a major story and start covering what really matters.

“So, what was really in the note Shama-Hacohen got?”
There are ongoing judicial hearings on the matter and an open Knesset debate could affect those hearings. So the note probably came from the Court.
This is the latest news.
If I were to speculate, I’d say the brothers are suing somebody or some institution.

How typical! Now we’ll get all this Israel bashing based on speculations.
We’ll never hear retractions once the speculations are proven false. Chances are, we’ll hear that it’s a cover up.
So much for progressive integrity – lacking facts, let’s speculate, build high-rises in the air and discuss the colors of its windows

The Ofer brothers draw a lot of water in Israel. Enough to get some of their friends to fake a national security interest to mask what is more than probably just excessive greed.

I am all for ending the isolation of Iran. It is nonthreatening and one of the least warlike of all nations
