OF THE
TIMES
"When I was commanding a corps in the Golan and Bogie [Ya'alon] was defense minister, we sat with three Syrian activists from the other side, from Syria. They came and Bogie wanted to understand who they were. He asked one of them, 'Tell me, are you a Salafist?' And he said, 'I really don't know what a Salafist is. If it means that I pray more, then yes. Once I would pray once a week, on Fridays, now I pray five times a day. On the other hand, a Salafist isn't meant to cooperate with the Zionists. I'm sitting with the defense minister of the Zionists. So I don't know.' This means that identity components are very fluid. They don't tell you where the person is going."
