Urgent Alert: CIS " Commanders for Israel Security" A Danger to Israel

Bsd

אל המקום אשר...

Re: CIS "Commanders for Israel Security" Today's modern day Erev Rav. 

The Beis HaMikdash was destroyed because the Leaders at the time were passive. 

Authentic Jewish Leaders, please protest CIS dangerous influence within Israel and on the Trump Administration especially when Prime Minister Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with President Trump.

Erev Rav were the mix multitude that mixed foreign ideology into Israel's camp in the desert when the Israelites left Egypt. They caused the people to sin and Worship the Golden Calf. 

Here is just a sample of the vicious slant and libel of "Jewish Violence" or "Jewish Settler Terror Activity" CIS takes against Settlers in Judea and Samaria

"It is no secret that certain members of our current government (the Israel GOI) orchestrate much of this chaos, including by shielding their followers – who are armed and driven by messianic impulses"

This influential CIS Erev Rav supports the formation of a 2 State Solution and is trying to insinuate to President Trump that the Jewish Settlers are armed and violent and engaging in "Jewish Settler Terror Activity".  

The opposite is true. The Palestinian Authority and its Hamas supporters are right now  heavily armed and engaged in "Jihadist Terror Activity" threatening all Jews in Israel especially in Judea and Samaria to another October 7th Scenario Chas VeSholom, G-d Forbid. 

*"Regavim: Settler Violence": Is it real...or is it a way to get Jews discredited and even killed?*

הָשִׁיבָה שׁוֹפְטֵינוּ כְּבָרִאשׁוֹנָה, וְיוֹעֲצֵינוּ כְּבַתְּחִלָּה, וְהָסֵר מִמֶּנּוּ יָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה וּמְלוֹךְ עָלֵינוּ אַתָּה ה' לְבַדְּךָ בְּרַחֲמִים, בְּצֶדֶק וּבְמִשְׁפָּט. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', מֶלֶךְ אוֹהֵב צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט.

Please listen to Rabbi Itai Asman of Torat Lechima on how progressive foreign ideology including gender equity and the like has pervaded the IDF due to High Court Rulings and Legal Counsel thereby weakening it and endangers Israel's Security.

Does the IDF prefer equality over victory? Rabbi Itai Asman in an English interview with Rabbi Ari Wasserman

From Torat Lechima: *Major (res.) Ben Yaakov Sebu, Commander of a Unit in the Hasmonean Brigade: Purpose of High Court Judges on the issue of Chareidim arrests is not to Recruit ultra-Orthodox - but to prevent it.

 About CIS:  Source Grok

Around 600 current and former senior Israeli security and foreign policy figures—primarily members of the group Commanders for Israel’s Security (CIS; Hebrew: מפקדים למען ביטחון ישראל)—sent a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump (and figures close to him such as Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff) urging him to press Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hard on the situation in the West Bank (referred to by the group and many Israelis as Judea and Samaria)

Ynetnews
This occurred ahead of Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump (reports place the letter as sent around Sunday, July 26, 2026, with the meeting expected shortly after). The user’s headline frames the appeal as directed at Netanyahu to raise the issue with Trump; primary reporting indicates the letter was addressed mainly to Trump, calling on him to deliver a “firm and unequivocal message” 

Ynetnews
Who the ~600 people are
They are overwhelmingly
- retired high-ranking officials from Israel’s security establishment and foreign service, 
- not active-duty personnel. 

CIS describes itself as a movement of over 550 (sometimes cited near 600) 
- Retired IDF Colonels and Generals, 
- Senior equivalents from the Mossad, 
- Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), 
- Israel Police, 
- National Security Council, and 
- Diplomatic Corps.

Membership is limited to the top ranks because those roles provide exposure to strategic national-security issues.

CIS
Founded: 2014 as a non-partisan (though politically oriented) civil-society group.
Core stance: Securing Israel as a strong Democratic Jewish state.

CIS views separation from the Palestinians (leading toward a two-state solution in a regional framework) as essential for long-term security and warns against sliding into a one-state reality.

Members are volunteers who emphasize professional/strategic analysis over partisan politics.

Leadership: 
Chaired by 
- Maj. Gen. (ret.) Matan Vilnai (former IDF Deputy Chief of Staff, Deputy Defense Minister, Home Front Defense Minister, and ambassador to China). 

Other executive figures have included 
- Col. (ret.) Itamar Yaar and various former senior officers and diplomats.

CIS

Notable individuals associated with the group or mentioned in connection with this letter include former 
- Mossad director Danny Yatom 
- Former Shin Bet director Ami Ayalon. 

The group’s membership has historically included other prominent names such as 
- former Mossad directors, 
- Shin Bet heads, 
- IDF chiefs or 
- senior commanders, and 
- police commissioners (exact current signatories of this specific letter are not fully publicly listed in the reporting).

Ynetnews
CIS has previously issued letters and analyses on issues including 
- Gaza policy, 
- West Bank annexation steps, and 
- regional diplomacy,

often criticizing government policies it views as harmful to Israel’s long-term security or relations with the U.S. and regional partners.

Context of the letter

The letter describes rising settler violence against Palestinians and their property as “terrorism” (“Terror is terror is terror”) and warns that unchecked escalation—combined with policies seen as weakening the Palestinian Authority economically and otherwise—could produce consequences “even more catastrophic than the Hamas atrocities of October 7 and their multifront aftermath.” 

It argues this trajectory endangers Israeli security, U.S. regional interests, and stability; could 
- Derail Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan; and 
- Risks damaging or reversing gains from the Abraham Accords.

Ynetnews

Signatories claim Israel’s security agencies are effective against Palestinian terrorist groups but “severely constrained” against Jewish perpetrators, and they accuse certain members of the current government of orchestrating or enabling chaos by shielding armed, ideologically driven supporters. The appeal emphasizes that only Trump can force decisive action.

This fits a broader pattern of CIS advocacy and comes amid reported surges in West Bank violence (including arson, property attacks, and deadly clashes), Israeli government steps related to settlements/outposts and Palestinian Authority authority, and Netanyahu’s Washington visit.

 Reporting notes ongoing friction, IDF deployments, and differing assessments of the scale and drivers of the violence.
