14. Conversation with Carmi Gillon, Former Head of the Shin Bet - a podcast by New Israel Fund Australia

In this timely episode of the NIF Australia podcast we’re sharing a conversation with Carmi Gillon, former head of Israel’s internal security service, the Shin Bet.

You may remember Carmi for his appearance, with five other former heads of the Shin Bet, in the 2012 Oscar-nominated film, The Gatekeepers.

We recorded this just a couple of days after Israel’s military carried out a targeted assassination against Abu al-Ata, a senior member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza. After that, hundreds of rockets rained down on Israel, closing schools and sending residents into bomb shelters. Israel further retaliated and a number of Gazans, including combatants and a number of civilians, were killed.

In this episode you’ll hear Gillon touch on a number of subjects, including his history in the Shin Bet, his years working with Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, the corrosive impact the occupation is having on Israeli society and the dangerous rise of Jewish terror in Israel.

He even speaks about why he credits Benjamin Netanyahu with getting him involved with the New Israel Fund!
