Cabinet Approves 'Big Brother' Unit
 
"The unit is the idea of Justice Minister Tzippy Livni, who wants to ensure that the process of prosecuting protesters is streamlined ahead of the mass opposition to the implementation of the withdrawal from Gaza and the northern Shomron and the forced removal of the Jewish residents living there."

"The government decision stipulates that the unit will be responsible for, “legal proceedings against incidents of incitement to violence, rebellion and protest activities, including blocking roads, holding unauthorized demonstrations and threats against public servants in the context of the struggle against the disengagement.”

"The Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza) Council criticized the establishment of the new unit, which it termed, "the thought police.” “The new unit's purpose is to shut the mouths of those who are opposed to the expulsion plan and to brand them inciters," the council said. "[Its purpose is to] forbid us to think differently than the government. The democratic right to protest is slowly disappearing in face of the ‘sanctified’ disengagement plan."

"The new unit will combat anti-disengagement protests and demonstrations, and will work in coordination with the Shabak to deter activists from engaging mass civil disobedience."

Cabinet approves anti-incitement unit
"The Council of Jewish Communities in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip warned against the establishment of the new legal unit, claiming, "The thought police forbid us to think differently than the government."

"The new unit's purpose is to shut the mouths of those who are opposed to the disengagement plan and to brand them inciters," the council released in a statement. "The democratic right to protest is slowly disappearing in face of the holy disengagement plan."

"The unit will deal with all kinds of illegal protest, including incitement to violence, sedition and all manifestations of violence, such as blocking roads, illegal demonstrations and attacks on civil servants, including soldiers and policemen."
