Leaked documents reveal US sees Israel as a major spying threat

How about every single nation on the planet being linked to spying on the US and vise versa.... It is only natural:)

I assume you are of the Jewish faith and if so you are a shameless embarrassment to the rest of us deserved of the status of pariah. It's people like you, the duplicitous, ungracious, exploitative persona that festers within, that belie the high moral ground most of us as Jews choose to take in life, things like honor, patriotism, service in duty of, that comes too hard for you but is to the rest of us a noble, divine calling.

Oh well. I have six years in military service to my country (not Israel.) I don't really know what you mean about duplicity, ungraciousness, and exploitatin but you are right in saying that I, and everyone else who knows what is going on in the world, knows also that it is naive to think that allies don't spy on each other. The difference of course with Pollard is that he was an American. Now: Is it wrong? Maybe and maybe not. Is it unsavory? Maybe, to some. Do you trust your own government wholly, absolutely? Maybe you do. Do you trust others, or allies, like France? Maybe so. These are personal, subjective questions. Objectively, factually, everybody spies on everybody. Sorry!

I believe the phrase is ‘Trust, but verify’?

The U.S. spies on Israel, Israel spies on the U.S. Been going on since 1948.

Given the current U.S. regime, I'd spy on us too. Actually if I were Israel, I would assign more agents to the U.S....

I wish people would quit calling this regime “The US.”

I always figured they spy on us to see what we are doing as it relates to their security. They need to know, it isn’t like they get clear signals of support from DC.

At least I don’t think they sell info our enemies (the muslims) but who knows.

Congratulations, (I suppose.) But you did effectively make this a “thinking man’s thread.” Too late, of course! LOL

That can happen if there are any HTML-specific elements in the pasted text, such as special characters.

Thanks. I was lazy.

I asked the Mods to format it for me, but they did not reply.

“The document suggests Israel does not believe U.S. assurances that its interests are aligned with Israel’s on crucial issues such as Iran and peace talks with the Palestinians. “
