Former Army Employee Pleads Guilty to Acting as Israeli Agent
MANHATTAN — Lev L. Dassin, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that Ben-Ami Kadish pleaded guilty earlier today to a one-count information charging him with participating in a conspiracy to act as an unregistered agent of the Government of Israel.
In summary, according to statements at Kadish’s guilty plea before U.S. Magistrate Judge Theodore H. Katz, the Information and other documents filed Manhattan federal court:
Kadish is a former employee of the U.S. Army’s Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center at the Picatinny Arsenal in Dover, New Jersey ("the Arsenal"). On numerous occasions from about 1980 through 1985, Kadish provided classified documents relating to the U.S. military – including some relating to U.S. missile defense systems – to an agent of the Government of Israel, Yossi Yagur, who photographed the documents at Kadish’s residence.
Kadish, 85, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
Kadish is scheduled to be sentenced in Manhattan federal court by U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley on February 13, 2009.
Mr. Dassin praised the investigative work of the New York and Newark Field Divisions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and thanked the U.S. Army for their support in this case.
This prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Iris Lan from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and Trial Attorney Kathleen Kedian from the Counterespionage Section of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

“Ex-US Army man admits spying for Israel”
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “US authorities say Kadish confessed to FBI agents that he had given Yagur between 50 and 100 classified documents and accepted no cash in return, only small gifts and occasional dinners for him and his family.
Kadish had told the FBI that he knew that one restricted document he provided to the agent included atomic-related information and that he did not have the required clearance to borrow it, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.”
Why?
I agree.
I hope he gets the maximum sentence.
Ping.
Amen to that. Just like Jonathan Jay Pollard. Give him the maximum sentence and make sure he serves as much of it as the time left to him allows.
Being Israel’s ally does NOT mean being Israel’s bitch.
“There are no allies in the Wilderness of Mirrors, only varying degrees of enemy.”
“Give him the maximum sentence and make sure he serves as much of it as the time left to him allows.”
I agree.
On another note, did anyone else notice the names here? Although one cannot be certain, there is a good chance that either or both the attorney for the Southern District, Lev L. Dassin, and Judge Theodore H. Katz are Jewish. Although I'm sure that the hard core antisemites will be claiming some conspiracy, I am pleased. It shows reminds us to whom one should be loyal.
Kadish, 85, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000...
Mr. Dassin praised the investigative work of ...
WTF?
For anyone who thinks this is excessive or a wrongful prosecution, consider two points:
Our interests and Israel’s usually coincide, but it’s coinceivable that there will be situations where they don’t
This guy didn’t REALLY know that he was giving the information to Israel. His contacts could just as easily have been agents of another power representing themselves as Israeli.
Fixed it.
I’m just wondering why they waited for Kadish to break-even on his Social Security benefits before they prosecuted him!
Imagine that,
Our good friends Israel spying on us still?
At least our good friend Israel isn’t attacking our naval ships still.
