Meet the anti-Zionist "Hilltop Youth"... wait what?!?
Former Hilltop Youth Dov Moral on Shin Bet's structural problem, with a fascinating comparison between Hilltop Youth and Kahanist's raison d'être...
[2025] Israel's secret police, Shin Bet, operates anti-democratically, systematically violating human rights-of Palestinians and Israelis alike
Moral was Hilltop Youth. Unlike Kahanists like Ben Gvir who are Zionist wanting to transform the state from within, Hilltop Youth are anti-Zionist, seeing the state itself as obstacle: blocking them from "dealing with" Palestinians, building the Temple, establishing halakhic rule. Their strategy: force every tension between "Jewish" and "democratic" to explode.
Moral participated in "price tag" attacks. Celebrated the Duma murders. Shin Bet interrogated him, which involved sleep deprivation, psychological manipulation, coercion.
Then heartbreak sent him into depression. Time abroad shifted his perspective. Now he's a human rights law intern handling administrative detention cases, married to a Haaretz editor, father of two.So when right-wing outrage erupted over Shin Bet's so-called "Jewish Division" (the unit monitoring far-right Jewish extremists) Moral's critique focused on the real problem with the Shin Beth. The recordings exposed anti-democratic methods, but the real problem is these same methods are used daily against Palestinians without similar outcry. For example, administrative detentions jumped from ~1000 before the war to ~3500 after.
"The problem isn't the Jewish Division or the Palestinian Division. The problem is the powers given to Shin Bet and how easily exceptions are accepted." Close one division and these tools will be redeployed when politically convenient.

[...] "incompatible with what is expected of IDF soldiers operating in the Judea and Samaria area"
Jewish terrorism in the territories is not rebellious #hilltopyouth. It is done in full cooperation with the army. Here's how Israeli civilians see what's happening in the occupied West Bank.
"There is no such thing as an 'army' in Israel anymore. There is a frightened and weak chief of staff who operates the air force, but there is no 'army' with a hierarchy that goes from the bottom up. There are armed militias, mainly in the territories, of people who are willing to come, and many come exactly for this—to get weapons and uniforms that will allow them to join up with Jewish terrorists. The chief of staff cannot touch a single hair on the head of any of these soldiers because then Israel Katz will threaten him, so he remains silent. Avi Blot cannot order anything of the forces he commands because they will not listen to him. If at all he even wants to give orders. Not sure. Still, his honor is not in the field. He sends letters from the office. It's not pleasant to criticize the IDF, but there's no point in burying one's head in the sand. Israel Prison Service has been dead for a long time, but nobody cares because it's prisoners. The police is half dead. Depends on the day. The army is falling apart into pieces. It has no command. In the country, there is only Bibism and Channel 14. There is no monarchy, no order, no statehood, no hierarchy. What story does Eyal Zamir tell himself at night? I have no idea. But if not him, another will come with eyes closed.

Quoting Historian Shai Hazkani and Tamir Sorek on how religious rights’ vision for Jewish supremacy and Palestinian elimination has gained mainstream acceptance in Israeli society:
Hazakani and Sorek analyzed Rabbi Yitzchak Ginzburg's sermon "Time to Crack the Nut," which outlined a plan to dismantle what he termed the four "shells" protecting Israeli democracy: media, legal system, government institutions, and the military's ethical constraints. Ginzburg, a #Chabad-trained rabbi who became influential among religious Zionist settlers, particularly the "hilltop youth" militia, advocated for the complete removal of Palestinians from historic Palestine.
Key survey findings from March 2025:
- 82% of Israeli Jews support forcibly expelling Gaza residents (up from 45% in 2003)
- 56% support forcibly expelling Palestinian citizens of Israel (up from 31% in 2003)
- 47% believe the Israeli military should kill all residents when conquering enemy cities, following the biblical precedent of Jericho
- 65% believe a contemporary Amalek exists, with 93% of those saying the biblical commandment to "blot out Amalek" applies today
There’s a particularly high support among younger Israelis, with 66% of those under 40 supporting expulsion of Palestinian citizens and 58% endorsing total elimination of enemy populations.
[…] Ginzburg's achievement is indeed the result of shattering the shells, even if the "crackers" weren't always his direct supporters. Hebrew media, the first shell, was always enlisted but maintained a veneer of professionalism. Recently, for the most part, it has abandoned even this pretense, and since the massacre in the Gaza envelope, many journalists have abandoned critical coverage, with some even joining the bellicose calls for revenge, expulsion, and extermination.
[…] The judiciary, which refused to openly declare Jewish supremacy in the Land of Israel and their right to expel, exterminate, or starve their enemies — while simultaneously playing a crucial role in preserving the occupation — was seen by Ginzburg as a stumbling block that "we must break... through mockery and 'contempt of court.'" It appears that the second shell has also undergone change, if it hasn't been completely removed already: about two months ago, Supreme Court Justice David Mintz rejected a petition by the organization "Gisha" to compel Israel to ensure humanitarian aid delivery to the Strip, ruling that this constitutes a "biblical commanded war," effectively authorizing the denial of food, water, and medicine to millions of Gazans. Mintz's ruling, a resident of the settlement Dolev, joined by Chief Justice Yitzhak Amit and Justice Noam Sohlberg from the settlement Alon Shvut, is already claiming lives.
[…] The education system, part of that same second shell, became a workplace where Jewish teachers promoting universal values risk dismissal (for Arab teachers, this danger was never foreign). Education researchers point to a sharp shift toward ethnocentric nationalism in curricula since the Second Intifada, and this process has led to high support for expulsion and extermination, particularly among those who completed their studies in the past 20 years. 66% of those 40 and under support expelling Arab citizens of Israel, and 58% want to see the IDF replicate Joshua's actions at Jericho. Generational gaps in political attitudes aren't unusual, but in Israel it has widened dramatically since the beginning of the 21st century.
[…] It seems there's little need to elaborate on the Knesset and government. Ginzburg himself demands that "the government — whether left or right — we must eliminate. We must bring it down, and when a new one arises, bring that down too, and so on — until establishing Torah rule in the land." The five election cycles held within three and a half years show that here too, Ginzburg can boast of considerable divine assistance.
The two scholars argue that October 7th provided the opportunity Ginzburg had long awaited to implement his vision. They trace how his ideology has penetrated Israeli institutions - from media abandoning critical coverage to Supreme Court Justice David Mintz recently ruling that denying humanitarian aid to Gaza constitutes a "biblical commanded war."
They conclude that without rejecting Jewish supremacy entirely and establishing genuine equality between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, Israel will continue its trajectory toward what they describe as a "Spartan and ostracized society."

Shai Hazkani, a Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of Maryland, and Tamir Sorek, a Professor in the History Department at Penn State University, are both academic historians specializing in Israeli/Palestinian history. They have written extensively on the subject. Hazkani’s book, “Dear Palestine: A Social History of the 1948 War” (2024), and Sorek’s book, “The Optimist: A Social Biography of Tawfiq Zayyad ” (2023), are notable works in this field.

#Palestine / Two Arrested After Attack on Palestinian Women in the Occupied West Bank
Two suspects, David Chai Hasdai and Hillel David Ben Shoshan, were arrested on Tuesday and their detention extended for a week by a Jerusalem court. The pair are suspected of attacking five Palestinian women near the Givat Ronen illegal outpost in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
The incident, which reportedly involved physical assault and arson, left the women with injuries. One of the victims, Nufa'a Alaga'ar, reported suffering broken bones and severe trauma. "We experienced a nightmare," she said. "There were at least 20 people involved. How can they say they only arrested two?"
The suspects, both known "hilltop youth" (Jewish terrorists who subscribe to #kahanism) in the area, are facing charges of assault and arson with nationalist motives. Hasdai, who was previously placed on a US blacklist in February for alleged attacks on farmers and peace activists, is also under investigation by the International Criminal Court prosecutor in The Hague.
While the investigation is ongoing, lawyers for the suspects claimed the "evidence is weak" and they are maintaining their right to silence, fearing "biased enforcement."

More on the Jewish terrorist Aviad Frija who executed Yuval Kastelman in #Jerusalem:
From right-wing Channel 14 interview:
"Yes, we shot until they fell... It was a lot of luck, I was at the right time in the right place, every #IDF soldier dies to mark an 'X'.
Right-wing figures, including MK Zvi Sukkot, publicly praised the Jewish terrorist and published his photo and name, calling him a “hero”. After it became clear that an innocent [Jewish] civilian was shot dead, the posts praising him were deleted.

#commentary The shooting of Yuval Kastelman was unlawful, did not follow the "rules of engagement" and "the purity of arms". It was immoral. And it would have been true even if he was a terrorist.
[...] Every soldier wants to mark an X," bragged the shooter in an interview on [right-wing] Channel 14, enjoying the moment of glory before the truth was exposed. His photo and name were prominently displayed everywhere under the title "hero." Afterward, the police prohibited publishing his name.
[...] In that same interview, he also recounted that he is a proud "hilltop youth", and in the same breath admitted that when the incident broke out he simply lay down on the floor. Later he pulled himself together, unfortunately. He arrived, apparently, when the incident was already over, and then executed Yuval Kastelman.
