The details of his biography and the operations he was involved in are at the heart of this piece – a book he has written is now being published – but for our purposes, I recommend checking out this article and in particular its last few paragraphs, its last few columns, starting with the question, “Aren’t you afraid now after exposing all this?”

He of course admits to his fear but is proud of having served not Israel but his G-d and thereby saved so many lives on both sides.

And then he hits the nail on the head about terrorism. Of course, he says, it must be fought, but terrorism per se is not the problem. And neither, he says, is the occupation, as he still calls it. “The root of the problem does not lie in security or politics. It is a war between two gods, two religions. Between the God of the Torah and the God of the Koran…There will be no peace in the Middle East. Israel’s problem is not with Hamas or with any other organization, nor with the interpretation Hamas reads into the Koran. It is with the God of the Koran. After all, even a moderate Muslim who reads the Koran must read that the Jews are sons of apes and that the infidels must be killed. The Palestinians must stop blaming Israel, or the West, for all their problems. If they want true freedom, they must free themselves from their God.”
