The outrageous Israeli tactic was to leave generations of the nation’s sensitive raw materials in the hands of the army and intelligence agencies. The documents were labeled “top secret,” kept away from civilians, and thus a skewed, even false perception of the events was fostered. The motivation for keeping things secret could have been fear of clashing with senior political and military leaders, both past and present, along with the hope that future embarrassing acts perpetrated by current leaders making their way up the ranks might also be covered up. Conveniently, chance has delayed the publication of the study until now, after Sharon’s death. It’s not just that the IDF, the Israel Police and the Director of Security of the Defense Establishment (which closely guards the secrets of Dimona) are trembling in fear of the Sharon family and the classified documents they illegally possess, but also that the documents in the government’s possession are being closely guarded from the civilians who the state sent to fight in Lebanon.
