(Yeah, such an 'apartheid' 'racist' state) -
The Israel Navy's new commander is of Chinese descent, a first for the military top brass in the Jewish state. -
Admiral Eli Marom -- nicknamed "Chiney" -- took over as navy chief this month after his predecessor, David Ben-Bassat, quit amid criticism of his conduct during the Lebanon war. -
Marom's mother was a member of the Chinese Jewish community, born to a local man and a Russian emigre woman. She married Marom's father after he fled his native Germany for China during World War Two. In 1955, the couple moved to Israel, where Marom was born. -
Marom's asiatic appearance may have helped him advance in the Israel Navy. -
"The fact that Chiney looked different forced him constantly to show that he was better. He became one of the very best very quickly," one former comrade told the weekend Yediot Acharonot, which ran a profile of the new admiral. -
Marom, 52, trained as an engineer and ascended through the ranks, overseeing major naval operations such as the 2002 capture of an Iranian-supplied weapons ship en route to Gaza.
In trade China gets Jewish lawyers.
Kent Brockman reporting-- George Takei announced he wished... 
that Israeli Admiral Eli Marom would come out of the closet!
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert replied... 
Takei does not have a chinaman's chance of getting his wish.
Film... 
at 11!
Correct. I believe the accepted term is Ju-ju.
They already explained it back in 1967. The Liberty, which was in the middle of a war zone, was mistaken for an Egyptian ship.
What does China trade in exchange for them?
Why, admirals, what else.
I wonder, just how many Christians are officers in the Israeli armed forces?
That is a function of Chistians who choose to join the IDF. Christian Arabs are not drafted but may volunteer.
but also why one of our greatest allies used Jonathan Pollard to commit espionage in the United States?
Because Pollard came to Israeli intel with information that the US had promised to deliver but refused to because the CIA and State department are Arabist?
Pollard got what he desereved for treason. Sadley the CIA and FBI still decided to lie about what he did to cover up their ongoing failure to find Aldrich Ames.
Where is Sharpton? Get me Jesse Jacksomeone! Quick, call a congressional hearing to denounce this!
/s
Sure - I think they are all traitors, equally guilty, and should each be handed a cigarette and a blindfold and shot by a firing squad.
Where did you get the idea that I would ever defend a traitor just if he were a white Christian? If I made a post saying OJ Simpson were a bad guy, would you immediately call me a racist against blacks and make me defend every white guy who ever murdered his wife?
It strains credibility to try and believe that the Israeli Air Force and Navy didn’t know that the Liberty was a US ship.
The last time that I bothered to look into this, there were IDF patrol boats that straffed the decks of the Liberty after it had been bombed, they were in the water and at the scene yet they STILL couldn’t identify the Liberty as a US vessel?
If it were Egyptian, then why did it have non Arabic identification?
Ehh, war is a crappy business all around, for all of the emotion surrounding the Liberty, there is no mention of Israelis in gas mask during Gulf War I not responding to Saddam’s Scud attacks.
But to the point of the thread, “Chiney” how funny and un-PC.
A valiant, but futile effort at equivocation on your part.
They don't call him Chinkey which would be much more offensive LOL.
Now the idea that we don’t spy on our “allies” and that they don’t spy on us is simply absurd.
We had 4 or 5 CIA agents busted during a industrial espionage “operation” in France when one of the female CIa agents fell in love with her “target” and started sleeping with him and confessed to the whole thing.
Around a fourth of Chinese descent—one parent was Russian/Chinese, the other German.
Wasn't that Valerie Plame?
Liu Shaoqi was not Jewish. Or perhaps somewhere around 1/128th’s Jewish.

“was that valerie plame...”
LOL, “no” the woman was very very junior, as I recall fresh out of training junior and it was in the mid 90’s, Plames career started earlier.
from 1996:
Weiner, Tim. “C.I.A. Confirms Blunders During Economic Spying on France.” New York Times, 13 Mar. 1996, A8 (N).
A classified report by the CIA’s Inspector General has concluded that Paris Station blundered in its espionage effort directed against French trade negotiations and economic targets. The IG report faults Paris Station Chief Dick Holm for not keeping the Ambassador fully informed and for allowing an affair between a Nonofficial Cover officer and her French lover to continue. Europe Division Chief Joe DeTrani “has been placed in administrative limbo.”

“France has accused five Americans, including the former C.I.A. station chief [in Paris] and his deputy, of political and economic espionage and asked them to leave.... The other Americans ... asked to leave were two other C.I.A. agents who are listed in diplomatic jobs on the roster of the United States Embassy, and a woman working as an undercover C.I.A. agent who lacks diplomatic status.””
Interesting to note that the same regions are named Africa especially, as Wilson supposedly had great contacts there..
