		Dichter said that he handed over to the police the investigation into the explosion in Kach activist Noam Federman's car, after reaching the conclusion that there were no "strategic" arms involved.
		Dichter summed up the Intifada's statistics for the MKs, telling them that since the outbreak of the Intifada 136 Jews have been killed and 1,308 wounded by attacks, while 531 Palestinians have died, with 68 of them under the age of 16.

	TIME.com: The Tough Guy Behind Sharon -- Jun. 23, 2003 -- Page 1
		Dichter and Sharon share the same view of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat: he is useless as a partner to Israel.
		Israeli military sources say Dichter was instrumental in planning Sharon's reinvasion of West Bank cities a year ago, telling the Prime Minister that for the Shin Bet to protect Israelis from terrorism, it had to be present in the Palestinian towns, not poised around their edges.
		Dichter, according to a senior security official, has warned that the road map, the peace plan being pushed by President Bush, doesn't sufficiently pressure the Palestinian Authority to crack down on terrorist groups.

	IsraCast: CHANGE IN COMMAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Dichter's Legacy: Avi Dichter played a major role in the successful counter-terror campaign that stifled the unprecedented suicide bomber tactics of the Palestinians.
		Dichter instituted the policy of lopping off the head of the terrorist infrastructure by taking out the leaders who 'inspired' the strategy of terror; it developed into the 'targeted killing' not only of the suicide bombers.
		In the past, Avi Dichter said he was aware of 'several dozen' terrorists who could pose a threat but the evidence against them would not stand up in an Israeli court.

		Dichter, who is seen as a frontrunner for a top security post after general elections, said he doubted Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas would remain in power, except as a "puppet leader", following Hamas's election victory.
		Dichter singled out by name senior Hamas leader Ismail Haniya when asked whether Hamas leaders-turned-ministers would be targeted for assassination despite their possible new roles in a democratically-elected government.

		Dichter was widely praised by both right and left-wingers for doing an outstanding job in fighting the war against Palestinian terrorism.
		Dichter said the Shabak bore responsibility for Zeevi’s safety but had failed to protect him when he was shot dead in an Israeli hotel in East Jerusalem.
		However, the citizens of Israel owe a huge debt to men such as Avi Dichter and the men and women in the Shabak and Mossad; it was not long ago that Palestinian suicide bombers were blowing apart Israeli children, women and men in the streets and inside buses.

	AM - Annan calls on Israel to lift Gaza blockade
		But seriously, Avi Dichter said Israel's very existence was under threat from Iran, and that Iran is present not just in Lebanon, through Hezbollah.
		AVI DICHTER: We are acting against terrorists, and if terrorist is a Palestinian, so before he's going to kill an Israeli, be sure he's going to be arrested, and if we can detain him, he's going to be killed in any way that we are going to find it possible.
		AVI DICHTER: Well, I think that launching every morning a good morning Qassam rocket towards an Israeli village like Sderot, or other places, I think that that's enough extremist to be countered by Israeli (inaudible), because there is no other ways.

		Dichter, that Convergence will "only" entail the destruction of dozens of thriving civilian communities is that they are very hard to square with the pronouncements of your boss, Ehud Olmert.
		Dichter, one is not sure whether you're upholding the power of your convictions in serving in this government.
		Dichter - and even, unfortunately, not a few in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem - do not worry about niceties of mountain ranges that dominate our population centers, infrastructure, major arteries and airports, nor about the havoc that the emplacement there of a "kingdom of terror" - in your phrase - would create.

		Dichter went on to say as long as the Palestinian Authority does not combat terrorism, there was no possibility of linking the Gaza Strip with the West Bank.
		Dichter said the fact that Hamas was democratically elected did not mean that a Hamas administration would be democratic.

	Dichter: Court's powers must be curbed if it intrudes on ministry - Haaretz - Israel News
		Public Security Minister Avi Dichter on Wednesday lambasted the High Court of Justice's decision to overturn his appointment of a senior aide.
		Dichter had appointed police Brigadier General Bentzi Sau as the head of his operational staff, even though the Or Commission - a state commission of inquiry that investigated the deaths of 13 Arabs, apparently from police fire, in the October 2000 riots - had ruled that Sau should be denied promotion for seven years.
		In the past, this post has entailed promotion to major general, but Dichter says he had decided to reduce the rank attached to the post even before selecting Sau, and therefore, it in fact entailed no promotion.

		Dichter went on to say that there may be more retreats (aka "unilateral withdrawals") out of "security considerations."
		Shin Bet Chief Avi Dichter knew full well that one has to consider considerably more than a few months of "numbers" in order to get an indication if the retreat policy is panning out.
		That's not speculation - its written in fl and white in the agreement that the PA has final say on who and what goes through Rafah - and that arrangement is the model for the seaport and the airport.
