Abstract:

»Most people are aware (but sometimes forget) that movements are almost always infiltrated by people who wish them to fail. Infiltrators are there to do two things: to monitor what is going on, and to interfere with its effectiveness. Such interference can take several routes. Among these are to promote ineffective, sometimes damaging actions -- such people are generally called 'agent provocateurs." The other way they interfere is to promote division. Like many people, I've long suspected that this is increasingly happening in the movement for justice in Palestine.«
