Obama's America pretends to be friendly to Israel and Israel pretends not to do spying against this hostile administration.
Quite a balance!
So does your comment.
There is normal spying going on all the time. Then, there is the spying that goes with knowing that the USA is being led by a muslim president who would cut Israel’s throat if he could get away with it. Can you blame them for spying when you cannot trust your “ally?”
With this administration, Israel is not exactly spying (allegedly) on an ally. More like seeing reality for what it is and protecting itself from the Muslim Brotherhood.
May G-d bless Jonathan Pollard, a good American, a courageous Jew.
I’ll probably get flamed for this but here goes.
Speaking as a Canadian, I really don’t understand the American obsession with Israel. I know it’s considered axiomatic that Israel’s and America’s interests coincide, but given their different geopolitical contexts this cannot possibly be the case. There’s a difference between being a good ally and putting another country’s interests ahead of your own.
Just my 2 cents. Flame away.
Pollard did receive payment.
What most people don’t know and many try to suppress is that he also spied on behalf of PAKISTAN.
Now —tell me how that’s being, “for Israel”.
A friend of mine who worked in counter-intelligence in the 1980s once told me that his group considered Israel almost as untrustworthy as the Soviets when it came to stealing U.S. military secrets.
What convenient timing for this article to go to press the same day Romney touches down in israel.
The “alliance” seems mostly one way. What does Israel do for the US that matches what the US has done for Israel?
China has everything but Obama’s Black American Express card, and we’re sweating what Israel knows?
I’ll bet Israel doesn’t have pictures of the inside of Obama’s rectum. China? Odds are at least 50/50...
How many times have folks here recently heard of Israel being referred to as an Ally, let alone a “Tight Middle-East Ally”? As others have said, I see Israel as an ally, but this administration sees it as big a pariah, as it sees our own nation to be.
Israel is on it’s own and it knows it. Furthermore, it knows who Obama actually does see as his ally, namely it’s most fervent enemies.
If Israel is spying, I wish it good luck against this bastard and his anti-Western fellow travelers.
I’m very pro-Israeli, but I have to say that the Americans have every right to treat Israel as a spy threat seeing as how they have been caught selling sensitive technology to China.
I don’t blame Israel at all in doing what it can to survive in a hostile world that seems to wish it would just shrivel up and die, but that doesn’t mean the US Gov’t should be naive enough to trust them implicitly...
