Israel Flagged as Top Spy Threat to U.S. in New Snowden/NSA Document

By Jeff Stein

Filed: 8/4/14

 

In this new document, Israel was identified by the NSA as a security threat in several areas, including “the threat of development of weapons of mass destruction” and “delivery methods (particularly ballistic and nuclear-capable cruise missiles).” The NSA also flagged Israel’s “WMD and missile proliferation activities” and “cruise missiles” as threats.

 

In a section of the document headed “Foreign Intelligence, Counterintelligence; Denial & Deception Activities: Countering Foreign Intelligence Threats,” Israel was listed as a leading perpetrator of "espionage/intelligence collection operations and manipulation/influence operations…against U.S. government, military, science & technology and Intelligence Community” organs.

 

The term “manipulation/influence operations” refers to covert attempts by Israel to sway U.S. public opinion in its favor. In this, Israel has dubious company, according to the NSA: Other leading threats were listed as China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, France, Venezuela and South Korea."

You are an emotional thinker. Nothing you say is based in facts. Because you want something to be true you simply argue in a way that makes it seem so.

 

 

Yes GG is well known for his insane emotional outbursts..

How could they list France as a threat without including domestic right-wing extremists on the list?

The Hamas Kidnapping and the Liberal Echo Chamber

 

Israel’s recent counteroffensive in Gaza against Hamas provided a steady stream of uninformed commentary from the left. But the development in the case of the three kidnapped and murdered Israeli teens a couple of months ago provides a perfect case study in how the left’s echo chamber can amplify an anti-Israel smear with alarming speed.

 

In June, Gil-ad Shaar, Eyal Yifrach, and Naftali Fraenkel were abducted and murdered by Hamas-affiliated terrorists in the West Bank. The Israeli government identified the suspects as such, but wouldn’t release more information until the investigation proceeded. Now they have reportedly confirmed Hamas’s role in the murders.

 

Yet back in June, almost immediately there were attempts to absolve the Hamas organization of responsibility by claiming the murderers acted on their own. Because Israel was restricted from releasing all the information it had, it opened space for anti-Israel activists and bloggers to try to push a false narrative that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had deceived the public as a pretext for invading Gaza.

 

This was an obviously obtuse thing to say (the abduction was not what spurred Israel’s actions in Gaza no matter who was responsible for the kidnapping), but the left operates in its own echo chamber, so it made the rounds. And in the process, it opened a window into how the left constructs an alternate reality about Israel and then, seemingly, convinces itself that it’s true.

 

{snip}

 

New York’s initial headline on the piece was “It Turns Out Hamas Didn’t Kidnap and Kill the 3 Israeli Teens After All.” The headline was not even close to being accurate, and the site belatedly changed the headline after the story had taken off. And no story on a ridiculous anti-Israel rumor would be complete without being given the full “explainer” treatment by Vox.

BS. If Hamas did indeed kidnap those kids they would've used them for trade to free Palestinian prisoners. Check their history. They always claim responsibility when they do something. You like to believe them then, though, right? Well then believe them when they deny it. If not then lets see some evidence that supports Israel's claim. Until then, use some common sense.

I think it is undeniable that the fighting is about Israel's security. It's about the rockets and tunnels. Anything else is a red herring. The article that B-Man posted was an indictment of the left and the liberal media for automatically siding with Hamas.

Yes GG is well known for his insane emotional outbursts..

No, he's more known for twisting arguments until they are anti-reality based. His basic point that the Palistinians have no grievances because the Arab world would still have problems even if Israel didn't exist is pure sophistry. It's like saying the USA shouldn't have worried about the attack on Pearl Harbor because would would still have a racial problem in the country regardless of the burning Pacific fleet

 

 

It truly is some of his best work.

To you, GG probably is the very model of straightforward thinking

Pretty lame attempt at trolling, if you ask me.

This is a half-assed attempt at performance art, right?

I don't think we ever had a racial problem with the Germans, it was their dastardly sneakiness that pissed us off.

You use a very balanced piece to illustrate that there's a media bias?

 

Keep fishing.

doesn't surprise me that you think blacklists are a good thing. mccarthy is probably a hero of yours.

I guess you skipped over the part in the article where people specifically said they don't like the idea of a black list, but there's nothing wrong with publicly calling out idiots as such.

 

Kind of like this place.
