So far, only in Hebrew (here), but it seems that the warnings by GSS [Shabak] head Yuval Diskin at the cabinet meeting last week on the very real threat of a political assassination from the rightwing in Israel was based on public opinion polls.
According to the report at Maariv's web site, a former senior GSS administrator admitted that since the poll was obviously not conducted among so-called radical extremist rightwingers, the worth of such a poll, at the least, in unprofessional. He also added that the GSS collects information from universities and other organizations like the Israel Democracy Institute whose own political leanings are suspect.
So, this is intelligence gathering?
A bit silly if not stupid, no?
Actually, not very intelligent either.
