Israeli spying on US at 'alarming level'

Israel spies on the United States more than any other ally does and these activities have reached an alarming level, Newsweek magazine reported on Tuesday.

The main targets are US industrial and technical secrets, the weekly said, quoting classified briefings on legislation that would make it easier for Israeli citizens to get visas to enter America.

Newsweek said a congressional staffer familiar with a briefing last January called the testimony "very sobering ... alarming ... even terrifying", and quoted another as saying the behavior was "damaging."

"No other country close to the United States continues to cross the line on espionage like the Israelis do," said a former congressional staffer who attended another classified briefing in late 2013, according to Newsweek.

It said that briefing was one of several in recent months given by the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, the FBI and the National Counterintelligence Directorate.

Hmm, maybe it's because they don't trust us? Maybe it's because they don't think of us AS an ally?

Ya think?

Can’t say as I blame them considering the current occupant of the White House.

Only startling to those who have been disengaged for decades.

Those Mossad guys could probably deliver quite a surprise to Ubama "should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Let me rephrase that so am not confusing .... Please, catch up with current events. Heck, in this current zer0 administration climate, I'd spy on us too.

Thanks Parley Baer.

Gee, I wonder why.

Of course, there aren’t any Muslim threats to the US that are at an “alarming level”, only the “evil” Israelis.

Uh-huh.

Ever heard “Neighborhood Bully” by Bob Dylan?

We should not allow this to continue. There is no excuse regardless of what tool is in the white house.

We spy on them, they spy on us. Its nothing new.

What is new is our president who then lets “slip” their secrets to the rest of the world.
