A former Shin Bet agent, speaking on a podcast, said the agency previously experienced internal conflicts over changing its computer logo for Pride Month, which he said reflected a progressive political agenda imposed by a minority. He praised the current Shin Bet chief's reported move to end such activities.
A former Shin Bet agent, identified as 'ינון', told a podcast that during his tenure the agency's internal computer logos were changed for Pride Month — a move that sparked heated arguments in the internal chat over what he called 'political motives and an agenda tied to a flag not everyone shares.' He characterized those pushing the change as a 'minority' that disregarded the views of the majority. The former official, who said he no longer works at the agency, expressed approval of current Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar's reported decision to end such activities, saying the agency should not be involved in matters with broad political significance that he linked to 'progressive culture.' The remarks come amid a storm over reported moves by the Shin Bet leadership against the agency's LGBTQ employee cell, which opposition politicians and LGBTQ groups have condemned. The Zioneer previously reported on the controversy Tuesday evening.
