[ParanoidTimes] No Shame, No Respect, No Consequences Re: Israeli spying on the US

No Shame, No Respect, No Consequences

Mr. Netanyahu, take the anti-Semitism charge and stick it up your ass.



An excerpt from,

"Israel's Aggressive Spying in the U.S. Mostly Hushed Up"

by Jeff Stein, Newsweek, May 8:

    As Newsweek reported on Tuesday, American
counter-intelligence officials told members of the
House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees at
the end of January that Israel's current espionage
activities in America are "unrivaled and
unseemly," going far beyond the activities of
other close allies, such as Germany, France, the
U.K. and Japan.   

    "It has been extensive for years," a former
top U.S. security official told Newsweek Wednesday
after Israeli Intelligence Affairs Minister Yuval
Steinitz, among other top Israeli officials,
"unequivocally" denied the Newsweek report, saying
Israel stopped all spying operations in the U.S.
after Jonathan Pollard was convicted of spying for
Israel in 1987. One anonymous official was quoted
in the Israeli media as saying Newsweek's account
"had the whiff of anti-Semitism in it."

    But a former U.S. intelligence operative
intimately familiar with Israeli espionage
rejected the anti-Semitism charge. "There is a
small community of ex-CIA, FBI and military people
who have worked this account who are absolutely
cheering on [the Newsweek] story," he said. "Not
one of them is anti-Semitic. In fact, it has
nothing to do with anti-Semitism. It has only to
do with why [Israel] gets kid-glove treatment
when, if it was Japan doing it or India doing it
at this level, it would be outrageous."

    Beginning in the mid-1990s, well after Israel
promised to stop spying in the U.S. in the wake of
the Pollard affair, the FBI regularly felt
compelled to summon Israeli diplomats in D.C. for
a scolding, two former top counterintelligence
officials told Newsweek. During the decade
following 9/11, one said, the Israelis were
summoned "dozens" of times and told to "cut the
shit," as one, a former top FBI official, put it.
But as an "ally," the Israelis almost always got
off with only a warning.

    But no matter how stern the FBI's lecture –
usually delivered personally to the embassy's
senior intelligence representative – the Israelis
were unmoved, another former top intelligence
official said. "You can't embarrass an Israeli,"
he said. "It's just impossible to embarrass them.
You catch them red-handed, and they shrug and say,
'Okay now, anything else?'"

    Always lurking, former intelligence officials
say, was the powerful "Israeli lobby," the network
of Israel's friends in Congress, industry and
successive administrations, Republican and
Democratic, ready to protest any perceived slight
on the part of U.S. security officials. A former
counterintelligence specialist told Newsweek he
risked Israel's wrath merely by providing routine
security briefings to American officials,
businessmen and scientists heading to Israel for
meetings and conferences.

    "We had to be very careful how we warned
American officials," he said. "We regularly got
calls from members of Congress outraged by
security warnings about going to Israel. And they
had our budget. When ... the director of the CIA
gets a call from an outraged congressman–'What are
these security briefings you're giving? What are
these high-level threat warnings about travel to
Tel Aviv you're giving? This is outrageous' – he
has to pay close attention. There was always this
political delicacy that you had to be aware of."

Censorship Is The Norm
How the US Propaganda System Works
The system is successful because all but a few people are culturally conditioned not to notice or care.
