Israel would be stupid to think the US-Israel friendship is etched in stone.

Might we also be stupid to think the same?

[Michael2001]

From the article:
"But Fox News has learned that one group of Israelis spotted in North Carolina recently is suspected of keeping an apartment in California to spy on a group of Arabs who the U.S. authorities are investigating for links to terrorism."

Seems they're spying on our enemies, not on us.

And whatever became of the May 2000 report, long overlooked:

InsightMag.com - FBI Probes [Israeli] Espionage at Clinton White House

We undoubtedly spy on Israel as well.

Say it ain't so! </sarcasm>

I HOPE we're spying on any and every country, we've got too much to lose.

[eclectic]

but investigators suspect that they may have gathered intelligence about the attacks in advance and not shared it.

This smells of serious "covering your assets" case. The massive intelligence failure has occured because American special services did not do their job. At least Israelis have tried to do something. Now they are going to be accused of not doing enough? Whose job is it to protect Americans? Israel's???

[F16Fighter]

ABSOLUTELY "America First". IMO there is NO such a thing as a "dual allegiance".

When was the last time we heard about "English" spies or even "French" spies?

[Sith Lord]

A TREASURED ally in the words of Bush and Powell. (-;

I imagine they'd have to say that about Israel, if they want to hold on to their political offices for long, given the power AIPAC has.

[eclectic]

consider what happened to the USS Liberty wicked

Bury this turkey already, will'ya? Ever heard of "friendly fire" concept? Do you know that during the Gulf war more our guys have died from friendly fire than from enemy fire?

[Sith Lord]

You almost always put the interests of Israel before America. If the Israelis were violating our laws to spy on America, then they should be punished. If Israelis agents overstayed their visas, then they should be punished. Mossad has allegedly compromised the interests of America by selling secret information to foreign countries.

Check out this: Israel always puts its own interests first. That's good, and should be expected from any nation. Now, does America always put its own interests first? Why are we such suckers?

> Israel would be stupid to think the US-Israel friendship is etched in stone.

We endanger our friendship with Israel at our own peril:

Genesis 12
2  "I [the LORD] will make you [Abraham] into a great nation [Israel] and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
3  I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse ..."

History has brought this prophecy to fruition again and again.

Are you crazy?
Everybody looked into the USS Liberty, many mistakes were made on both sides, but here's what US gov't said:

C.I.A. report June 13, 1967 no malice; attack a mistake
U.S. Navy Court of Inquiry June 18, 1967 mistaken identity
Report by Clark Clifford July 18, 1967 no evidence ship was known to be American
Senate Select Committee on Intelligence 1979/1981 no merit to claims attack was intentional
National Security Agency 1981 Mistaken identity
House Armed Services Cmtee 1991/1992 No support for claims attack was intentional

The last investigation was spurred by White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, who, after meeting with Liberty veterans, referred them to Representative Nick Mavroules, chairman Subcommittee on Investigations of the House Armed Services Committee. After a one year investigation the matter was closed, the investigators evidently finding nothing to support conspiracy claims. (The Liberty Incident, Doctoral Dissertation, Judge A. Jay Cristol.)
