Former Army official admits that the israeli army conducts kidnappings

Not that it really was new, but it's nice to have it being admitted and published.

The YNet article, by former IDF member Arik Diamant (the chap is currently a reservist, and head of the 'Courage to Refuse' organisation) tells how the IDF kidnaps people because they suspect that 'they know 'someone' who has done 'something' '.
He also draws a nice little comparison between the israeli soldier kidnapped in Lebanon, and the hundreds, thousands of Palestinians illegally kept in Israeli jails - many of whom were abducted in the same way as the israeli soldier. Only those people don't have names, don't have European diplomats interfering for them, and surely have no prospects of going home.
Surely worth a read.
