It sounded to me that a lot of these people were ex-IDF soldiers.

Just what secret FBI information would they give to Israel? How would translation of Arabic by Jews of Arabic descent pose a security risk to the FBI? -Especially as we are doing such a piss poor job of it already.

By your logic, no Jew could be trusted as they all are Jonathan Pollards.

Um, no.

I said I wouldn't want ex-IDF in those positions. IDF soldier != Jew.

I don't want any ex-soldiers of foreign nations, particularly ones that hold dual citizenship, in any areas concerning American national security.

And I can think of any number of things that someone investigating terrorists in the United States might come across that would jeopardize investigations, but would directly involve risks to foreign nations. For example, a Hamas-linked organization in Texas.
