Just want to offer a shout out to new subscribers from the Israel Weapon Industries (Shlomi S.) and Israel’s Justice Ministry (Gil CS). One can only wonder what they find so interesting here. But hey, maybe they’ll learn something. Of course one hopes it won’t be the identity of whistleblowers and sources who are actually protecting the Israeli government from some of its worst impulses. That would be most unfortunate.
Along those lines, I note that the Justice Ministry is enlisting the public to create a posse to apprehend evildoers (like me, I presume, were I an Israeli citizen). Here’s a part of the responsibilities of the Security and Special Projects unit of the Ministry:
Leaking of Sensitive Information
We turn to you [the public] to report to us when you come upon a leak of sensitive information or illegal publication, such as a document from our ministry or ruling that infringes on personal privacy, which are published in any of the following ways:
1. In the media
2. Internet: via forums, email, etc.
3. Documents that reached the wrong hands through fax or mail
4. Violations of information security through technological means
Hey, you don’t think the Justice Ministry would be trying to make a statement by having someone subscribe to the blog using their Justice Ministry e mail address, do you? At any rate, like they do in TV shows profiling Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, now let’s all welcome Shlomi and Gil to the group: hi Shlomi, hi Gil!
Thanks to Dena Shunra for research assistance.
Richard, those people who would like to follow your blog without exposing themselves can do so by subscribing to your RSS feeds.
Yup, not to mention they could subscribe using e mail addresses that conceal their employer.
Did they do that? LOL
Maybe it’s the big boys way of intimidating 🙂
loool
Leonid, surely you’re not inferring that male members have to “expose themselves” here, otherwise head to the RSS chamber……
Ooops, sorry couldn’t resist that…. 🙂
Oh and and big welcome to Shlomi and Gil. Some “insiders perspective” will be interesting. 😉
Sorry, Chayma, I didn’t quite get it 🙂 What’s the RSS chamber?
The dark room?

MY COMMENT: I’m not certain you need to be a citizen. The government of Israel (at least, the current one) seems to believe that it has jurisdiction over “the Jewish people” wherever they may reside! Not to mention its “enemies” like Dirar Abusisi, no matter where they might be located.
You might want to upgrade your security accordingly.

FROM NETANYAHU’S SPEECH to a Joint Meeting of the United States Congress on 05/24/11: “…I speak on behalf of the Jewish people and the Jewish state when I say to you, representatives of America, Thank you…”

Mr. Silverstein
If someone would like to intimidate you, he will find other ways, registering with their email address isn’t one of them.
And besides, the WEAPON INDUSTRIES has nothing to do with monitoring such activities.
Hey, that’s cute, the fake Mossad e mail I mean. Except that yr IP resolves to Tampa, FL. Unless you’re the station chief for Tampa. Didn’t know it was considered such an espionage hot spot for you guys.
