Leaked Israel Defense Force Docs Linked to Concern Over Possible War Crimes

clipped from www.richardsilverstein.com Kamm Leaked Secret IDF Documents to Expose ‘War Crimes’ Finally, we have a evidence supporting Anat Kamm’s motives in leaking hundreds of secret IDF documents to the Israeli press.  Until now, we’ve been forced to speculate on those motives and the theories have been all over the place.  But Haaretz, which appealed to the court to release police files related to the case, reports that her own testimony to the Israeli police explains her motivation: In the newly released material documenting court hearings surrounding Kam’s arrest, the journalist and former IDF soldier said that the motivation behind her removal of sensitive military material was to expose “certain aspects of the IDF’s conduct in the West Bank that I thought were of interest to the public.” Kam added that her thinking behind taking the top secret papers was to ensure that “if and when the war crime the IDF was and is committing in the West Bank would be investigated, then I would have evidence to present.”
