Re: [Foucault-L] quote

I think Andre has right.

The best approximation of your quote that I could find in an interview is in Dits et Ecrits IV p. 662 = no 349 = Interview de Michel Foucault (no English translation mentioned in Lynch's bibliography):

"Il est evident que la discipline n'est pas la seule technique de controle des individus, mais que la facon par exemple dont on crée actuellement la perspective de la sécurité de l'existence facilte la direction des individus, bien que ce soit selon une méthode totalement différente de celle de discipline"

The Israel army is not discussed at all in that interview
