The Spy Who Loves Us

Pay no mind to the Mossad agent on the line.

by Philip Giraldi

After Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard was sentenced to life in prison in 1986, the U.S. negotiated an understanding with Israel—a “gentlemen’s agreement” —stipulating that neither nation would thenceforth conduct espionage operations in the other’s territory without consent. But the agreement was a sham from the beginning. The Israeli government didn’t even honor its commitments in the aftermath of the Pollard case, failing to return the estimated 360 cubic feet of stolen information to enable the U.S. to conduct a damage assessment. The United States, for its part, continued to recruit and run agents inside Israel throughout the 1980s and 1990s. And it was known within the intelligence and counterintelligence communities that Israel did the same in the United States. David Szady, the FBI’s assistant director for counterintelligence, was so dismayed by the level of Israeli spying in the late ’90s that he called in the head of the Israeli Embassy’s Central Institute for Intelligence and Special Activities (Mossad) office and told him, “Knock it off.”

They would be damned fools not to.

Jonathan Pollard should be shot for treason, of course, but I can't fault the state of Israel for wanting to spy on us.

bullshit. Do you think England spies on us?

Yes they do, so does France, Germany, Australia and other countries. Just because we are friends doesn't mean we agree on everything, a good intelligence agency is spying on everyone (which explains why the CIA sucks).

I said I believe man, look it up yourself, I am not about to trudge around looking for it.

the point is all our allies spy on us, and if we have a brain we better be spying on them as well.

sorry, thats not how evidence works, yo. Im not going to waste my time on something that you may or may not know to be true.

and no, the point is NOT that out allies spy if you cant back it up.

Like I said, I do not give Israel Blanket support. I oppose many things they have done, and are doing.

Yes. And we them.
