I was just wondering if the analyst shared to help Israel in an area or if it was done to hurt us.

Since it is an ally, I naively think it wouldn't hurt us.

It doesn't matter - once that information is in someone else's hands, we no longer have control over how it is disseminated. Jonathan Pollard gave some of the most sensitive intelligence information possible to the Israelis. Some of that information was then gained by the KGB, either because the KGB had infiltrated the Mossad, or because (as is rumored) the Israelis traded it in exchange for Jews living in the Soviet Union.

The Israelis may be our allies, but they are not us, and they will act in their own best interests, which don't always coincide with our best interests.

What????

That place in Israel, shoot, forgot the name, Golan Cipel is from there, is infiltrated with Russian Mafia. Why would Israel want to compromise themselves like that?

Could the analyst have been swapping information?

"The Israelis may be our allies, but they are not us, and they will act in their own best interests, which don't always coincide with our best interests."

...and they should act in their own best interests, just as we should not impose our will on them.

This is exactly why when even our own government has given them info which they have used to help arm some of our adversaries it isn't a pleasant prospect.

They do not act, or need to act as one with us (any more than UK does, for example) so we need to be protected from people like this who don't comprehend the system or don't want to and do damage to both governments.

If an individual's primary allegiance is to Israel they should give up their citizenship here and move to help in Israel. We have a huge number of people who cannot fathom this.

You have a solid tagline, by the way.
