Israel is considered a "key threat" to the US

[planosteve]

“We got our intelligence from other sources, not from the United States. The instruction has been clear for decades now: you don’t spy on the United States, directly or indirectly,” Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman had said, according to the Times of Israel. According to The Intercept, however, the recently leaked documents show that the NSA considers Israel’s intelligence service a “key threat” and a “hostile” player.

The NSA considered Russia and China as conducting the most aggressive espionage against the U.S., but, “A NIE [National Intelligence Estimate] ranked [Israel] as the third most aggressive intelligence service against the U.S,” the report added, citing a document. The same document shows that the CIA considers Israel a “priority threat country,” a label also used to describe Russia, China, Iran, Pakistan and Cuba.

U.S. intelligence services were especially concerned by the methods used by Israeli agencies to “influence anti-regime elements in Iran,” the Intercept report added. The State Department has reportedly also stopped giving Israel intelligence updates on how the talks are proceeding.

The White House and President Barack Obama had declined to comment on the spying revelations Tuesday. However, Obama's administration has indicated that it will now reevaluate the U.S.-Israel relationship, while Obama said that the possibility of a peace deal between Israel and Palestine now seemed “very dim.”

Now we just need Israel to bomb and destroy all of Iran's nuclear facilities the day after after Obama signs the traitorous "deal."

It won't be very a very comfy position, but if Israeli planes head to destroy Iranian facilities like they did with Iraq about 30 or 35 years ago..I'll be rooting for Israeli planes to win that fight..or at least for enough of them getting through.

interesting , read an article a few years back , speculation was that the Israelis might do it as a one way trip into iran with no thought of returning , Idea was to do kamakze type attacks , Don't know the religion well enough to say anything other than I read that type of article . I remember the bombing in 'iraq' , I was driving to work to 'Munising Michigan' at about 6 in the morning , it was winter I think !!

So, who do you think most likely did 9/11? A terminally ill Saudi on kidney dialysis reportedly living in a filthy cave in Afghanistan. Or the most sophisticated secret intelligence agency in the world assisted by Saudi Arabia and key elements of the govt., many with dual Israeli citizenships holding top positions in the Bush Administration?
