	Sid Roth's Messianic Vision: New Challenges in the New Year 5768
		Shabtai Shavit, former director of the Mossad, and current Chairman of the Board of Directors of the International Policy Institute for Counter Terrorism, believes Israel's only choice in this current hostile environment is pre-emption.
		Shavit, speaking to diplomats and journalists at the Institute For Contemporary Affairs (ICA) in Jerusalem, recently said the greatest hindrance to assessing the global jihad war today is the limitations in gathering human intelligence.
		Shavit acknowledges that this is an unending process that often does not have a final conclusion.

	Mossad Boss' Pardon Letter Stirs Criticism
		JERUSALEM - Mossad ex-chief Shabtai Shavit has come under fire for violating the Israeli intelligence agency's rules in writing a letter to Bill Clinton recommending a pardon for fugitive financier Marc Rich.
		Shavit stopped short of describing the assistance Rich provided in the two countries, but what he did reveal is known to have infuriated Halevy.
		Still, the extent to which Shavit was willing to go to defend his pardon recommendation explains, in part, why other top Israeli officials tried to intervene on behalf of the fugitive financier.

	Random House Publishing Group \| Striking Back by Aaron J. Klein
		Shabtai Shavit, the head of Israel's Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, the Mossad, received a brief message in the operation's war room, located in a safe house in the 11th Arrondissement: "He's in the Méridien Montparnasse.
		Shavit, in his early fifties, had run the Mossad for the past three years, and was well acquainted with undercover operations.
		Shavit believed in Israel's responsibility to its citizens, at home and abroad-he believed in the necessity of fulfilling this executive order not just because he saw it as moral and just, but because he knew that no one else would carry it out in his place.

	Experts Call for New World Body to Fight Global Terrorism
		Shabtai Shavit, head of the Israel's Mossad (secret service) from 1989 to 1996, said an international organization should be created to deal with the global war against terrorism.
		The difference between terrorism in past decades and today, Shavit said, is that years ago it was primarily secularly based, aspired to self determination and was mostly local -- whereas today it is based on radical, religious, imperialistic Muslim worldview that has strong global support.
		Shavit, who heads the International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism near Tel Aviv, suggested that an international definition for terrorism based on the "lowest common denominator" be adopted by the group whose authority would be based on agreed upon conventions.

	NPQ
		Shabtai Shavit was director general of the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, between 1989 and 1996.
		The good news, I suppose, is that the strategic perception of the region by the moderate Arab leaders and their European counterparts as well as the U.S. has shifted to finally seeing the truth of the matter.
		Shavit: The idea of democratization is still too early for the Arab countries to adopt.

	Israle Weighed Killing Nuke Whistleblower Vanunu
		Shabtai Shavit, who masterminded a "honey trap" for Vanunu after he told a British newspaper about his work at Israel's main atomic reactor, said he feared the ex-technician intends to spill more secrets upon his release from prison this April.
		He was a traitor, so in accordance with Jewish morality and Jewish law he paid for it with imprisonment," Shavit told Reuters.
		Fearing these could also become public knowledge when Vanunu winds up his 18-year jail term on April 21, Shavit has been calling for Vanunu to be legally silenced.

		Shabtai Shavit -- who served as director general of the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, from 1989 to 1996, and who has been described by the Hebrew newspaper Ha'aretz as taciturn and reticent about offering political commentary -- nevertheless recently added his point of view to the cacophony of opinions on the subject.
		Shavit was keynote speaker at a recent Jewish National Fund event in Manayunk.
		I admit, it is not a decisive one," said Shavit, who currently serves as the chairman of the board of directors for the International Policy Institute on Counter-Terrorism in Herzliya, Israel.

	PPI: Letter From Israel: A Yearning For Normalcy by Fred Siegel
		Shabtai Shavit, another former head of Mossad -- a no-nonsense guy who speaks in measured tones and looks like he came out of central casting -- spoke, like virtually everyone we heard, without rancor about Palestinian terrorism.
		Israelis have lived with the problem of Palestinian violence for so long the issue is no longer raw; it's seen as an unpleasant fact of life.
		Terror, explained Shavit, is a problem that has to be handled; "you can't eliminate terror but you can contain it, manage the problem." That's a view widely shared by the Israeli public.

		Shavit has held an array of key positions during his 32 year-long career in the Mossad.
		Addressing the various reports of increased Iranian influence in the Gaza Strip, Shavit said several indicators pointed to Tehran's involvement in Hamas and Islamic Jihad activities.
		But it could never resemble the situation in Gaza, because of the IDF's presence, and the political situation in which the PA and Fatah are in very direct and open confrontation with Hamas," he said.

	Jihad Watch: It's a clash of civilizations
		I must defer to General Shavit's reading of the geopolitical situation, but it is not clear to me that he entirely "gets it" about the nature of his adversaries.
		What General Shavit does not seem to affirm is that jihad is deeply rooted in Islam itself.
		What he seems not to grasp is that there is fundamentally one kind of Muslim fanaticism, the imperative in Qur'an, hadith, sira and in the history of Islamic thinking on them to subjugate the world of unbelief.

	Israel and The Sin of Expulsion » Blog Archive » The Demented Non-Strategy of Russian Roulette With Jewish ...
		Speaking… on Monday, hours after the rockets struck, former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit said that if, as he feared, the government was essentially adopting a strategy of “waiting for babies to die” before sending IDF divisions into the Gaza Strip, it would show that “Israeli deterrence is in its dregs.”
		The feeling in the defense establishment is that it would not be wise to be dragged into a major offensive inside the Gaza Strip while the situation along the Hizbullah-Syria front, a potentially much bigger conflagration, remains fraught.
		All of the government and army’s statements to the contrary, many of the classrooms are unfortified, and even if they were, the 15 to 20 seconds needed to run to such protection, should the children be outdoors, is not always going to be sufficient.

		Said Shavit, "The terrorists main aim is to make us afraid.
		The panel went on to discuss the nature of terrorism itself, how the U.S. government should handle the war on terrorism and the legal questions of prosecuting members of the Al Qaida network, to the motivations of Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaida.
		Shavit's definition matched Bergen's opinion of the impetus for Bin Laden and Al Qaida's actions: "I think their motivation is belief - I take that at face value.

		Former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit accuses Spielberg of basing the film on a bogus book that bears no resemblance to what actually happened.
		Shavit launched a scathing attack on the film charging: 'There is absolutely no similarity to Mossad methods, personnel or the mission's objective'.
		Interview on Israel Radio, Shavit said a movie producer of Spielberg's caliber could not evade responsibility for the result of a false moral symmetry between the Palestinian terrorists and the Israeli agents who brought them to justice.

		Shavit, " The flagship of intelligence is human.

	Israpundit » Blog Archive » A strategic assesment of the Middle East
		Looking across the Middle East, Shavit argues that the US cannot afford to retreat from Iraq to “Fortress America”; decries the Israeli government’s lack of a pro-active strategy against Hamas in Gaza; and says an open conflict between Fatah and Hamas in the West Bank is not far down the road.
		Shavit explains, adding that Israel will be affected by all of the above situations, and, he hopes, has started planning for “a series of responses” to these challenges.
		SPEAKING TO The Jerusalem Post on Monday, hours after rockets struck the courtyard of a Sderot kindergarten, Shavit said that if, as he feared, the government was essentially adopting a strategy of “waiting for babies to die” before sending IDF divisions into the Gaza Strip, it would show that “Israeli deterrence is in the dregs.

		Shavit does not see any signs of a takeover by the powerful Muslim Brotherhood, as the army and security services are loyal to the current administration.
		Shavit thinks Egypt will eventually come to realize the danger posed by "Hamastan" and the larger movement it represents - not to Israel, but to Egypt and the region as a whole.
		According to Shavit, Damascus will not break its ties with Teheran without undergoing an arduous process in which it is offered something really big in return.

		Shavit, a 32-year veteran of Israel’s intelligence community, also expressed the need for the establishment of an international body to fulfill the mandate of the United Nations.
		Anne Bayefsky of the Hudson Institute, an internationally acclaimed expert on human rights law, labeled the UN the “leading global purveyor of anti-Semitism.” The professor pointed to the recent American national elections, in which both candidates concurred in pre-election debates that the UN is no longer an option.

	Israel May Deport Families of Suicide Bombers -- 06/27/2002
		The former head of Israel's Mossad secret service, Shabtai Shavit, said Israel should find a way to expel the families of suicide bombers, even if it would be difficult to do legally.
		As it stands now, the families of bombers not only are praised within Palestinian society but they also stand to receive as much as $25,000 in cash from Iraq and the PA, making attacks on Israelis a tempting option for young people who wants to help their family and people.
		According to Shavit, it probably would not be as difficult to expel terrorist families to the Gaza Strip as it would be to send them abroad.
