12. Israeli headline: "Desperation in the territories: unprecedented hatred"

This was a couple of days before this broke. Ya'alon can see the way the winds are blowing, as can sane people left in the IDF.

14. Ma'ariv - 28th Oct (the day of the elections)

PM me if you'd like the front page (context etc, I edited the one above because it had an image).

The online accompanying article: http://images.maariv.co.il/cache/ART570502.html (Ben Caspit, probably Ma'ariv's premier correspondent)

I referred to this on another topic on that day BTW: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=124&topic_id=25833 (mentioning the IDF recommendations before the Ya'alon story broke).

This was also in Yediot but I didn't save their page on it (although that is irrelevent now that Ha'aretz, Jpost etc have picked up the story).
