CIA, encourage promotion of vices to divert Palestinian Youth. 2002-01-15 21:56:03 IAP News 15 January 2002 Representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israeli Shin Beth experts have recommended that the relatively conservative Palestinian society be flooded with pornography, drugs and gambling in order to keep Palestinian youths away from joining the resistance against Israeli occupation and apartheid. A high-ranking Palestinian intelligence officer has intimated that American and Israeli intelligence experts discussed "this issue" many times. "The idea first came from the Israeli side who suggested that only these things could take Palestinian youths away from their hostile fixation on Israel." The officer said Israeli Shin Beth already instructed some independent television stations in the West Bank to screen "liberal and semi-pornographic movies." He mentioned at least one television station in the southern part of the West Bank. The officer said the Israeli government didn't go "far enough" due to objections and protests from Jewish settlers who argued that pornographic materials on local screens could have a detrimental effect on the settler population. "The settlers are mostly religious people and like most Palestinians, they don't like these things." Asked what the Palestinian Authority thought about this, the Palestinian officer said the PA was being vigilant and would do all it could to thwart Zionist designs to that effect. Israel had used drugs and sexual blackmail intensively prior to the Oslo Accords for the purpose of enlisting Palestinian collaborators for the Shin Beth. Thus, collaborators where given almost complete liberty to sell drugs and to trade in pornographic materials in return for acting as informers for the Israeli army.
