Collaborators ‘want to battle’ intifada

 

Former “Israeli”-allied South Lebanon Army militiamen who fled to “Israel” hope to make a living combatting the intifada in the Occupied Territories, according to reports from “Israel”.
“Israeli” Deputy Minister Yuri Stern, who is responsible for the absorption of SLA refugees and their families, has promised to work toward securing the ex-militiamen places in the Jewish state’s police force or in its Border Police, “Israel’s” Yediot Aharonot newspaper reported on Monday.
In a recent meeting with members of the SLA community in Netanya, Stern requested a preliminary list of those wanting to serve in the Border Police. “The deputy minister was attentive,” said Saad Issa, who is responsible for the education of SLA children. “We have 400 candidates for the Border Police.”
One former SLA militiaman, Robert Fares, 26, explained: “I want to go anywhere there’s a war on. I have no problem clashing with the Arabs… .Quite the opposite, it’s what I want to do.”
