'Beware the Shin Bet'
Right-wing document tells activists how to handle security authorities' attention
TEL AVIV - A document distributed among right-wing youngsters in recent days instructs activists on how to handle General Security Service agents assigned to counter far right threats.
The guide, which is also used by right-wing road blockers, tells activists to avoid sending messages using e-mail and fax and advises them to be careful in phrasing of messages "in order to avoid arousing the (Shin Bet) traitors' suspicions."

"Don't say 'when do we go there,' but rather, 'tomorrow afternoon we're going for pizza," the guide says.
Document writers are particularly concerned about attempts by the Shin Bet's Jewish Division to recruit their friends as collaborators. The document notes that authorities arrested five right-wing activists after they hitched a ride with a driver who cooperated with agents.
'Police are scared'
The police are scared of right-wing activists and are unable to identify who the leading figures are, according to the document, which adds that the "Defense of the Land" group has hundreds of members, including "intelligence people and members of the media."
The guide also advises members to turn off their cell phones when traveling, because the Shin Bet is able to track every cellular device in Israel.
"(Agents at the) Shin Bet offices can see where device owners are traveling and know where to wait," the document says, and adds that the group is working on recruiting secular activists from central Israel.
"These days we are talking about 200 interested parties," the document notes.
