An internal report produced by the Israeli Foreign Ministry expressing concern over groups of former Israeli Defence Force soldiers, who are now opposed to the actions of the IDF in the (illegally) occupied territories, who are touring the United States and presenting their views to the American Jewish community. The Ministry views this with great concern. Heaven forbid that their largest supporters should ever hear a viewpoint other than their own. Speaking of the so-called "refuseniks" the reports states:
"The willingness of Jewish communities in the United States to host these organizations, and even sponsor them, is unfortunate. This is a phenomenon that must not be ignored."
The report goes on the urge action against the ex-soldiers saying "their negative effect on Israel’s image must be stopped". I'm sure that the Israeli government would never encourage the US to refuse visas to any refuseniks and should it occur it is for other, completely justifiable reasons which must, of course, be kept secret.
