Caltech professor claims Israeli spy infiltrated JPL

Re: Caltech professor claims Israeli spy infiltrated JPL
#12This is not surprising. Israel is the number-one allied country spying in America [1] The problem is that with so many Israeli supporters in either of the administration [2] as well as in the FBI and on many campuses, any allegation of spying by whistleblowers is reacted by extreme retaliations. This is why we don't hear about it more often. This is not a new issue [3] from Pollard [4] to Rosen [5], recently [1] http…
It is amazing just how much Israel spies on America, and how nobody knows about it. If you dare to say it publicly then your reputation and career are destroyed, and you are an antisemitic terrorist sympathizer, if not also a terrorist.

I guess that makes you a very brave person for speaking out publicly.

Huh and yet here, as per your links, we have mainstream media reporting on it.
Have those journalists been subjected to 'extreme retaliation'?
Perhaps we don't hear about it frequently not because there is a conspiracy among 'Israeli supporters' (we all know what you mean bro!) but because the issue is not so pressing or widespread as you would have us believe?

This kind of snarkiness is one of the most damaging things there are. Its way more common in reddit and imgur. The only break there is in such communities for funny/cat pics are things like bansky paints but usually the most voted comment says something along the lines: "so edgy", "I think there is a metaphor here guys", or a snowden pic with comments like " you are such revolutionary, can I be your friend " and stupidities of the sort. The NSA has to do nothing, the public will render spying as serious as jaywalking by itself.

#17Man you should've seen the stuff the Israeli's pulled back in the 1980s.
> Speculation about Milchan's involvement in arms dealing and intelligence activities was sparked after the indictment in 1985 of Dr. Richard Kelly Smyth, an aerospace executive and scientist who had made illegal shipments of Krytrons (nuclear triggers) through one of Milchan's companies.
...
> "at least through the mid-1980s [Milchan] was a full-fledged operative for Israel’s top-secret intelligence agency, Lakam. His activities included "buying components to build and maintain Israel’s nuclear arsenal" and supervising "government-backed accounts and front companies that financed the special needs of the entirety of Israel’s intelligence operations outside the country.". Interviewed regarding Milchan's intelligence activities, Israeli President Shimon Peres stated: "Arnon is a special man. It was I who recruited him.... When I was at the Ministry of Defense, Arnon was involved in numerous defense-related procurement activities and intelligence operations. His strength is in making connections at the highest levels.... His activities gave us a huge advantage, strategically, diplomatically and technologically."

He's a multi-billionaire Hollywood producer nowadays (Argo, Fight Club, etc.)
Ah the windfalls of state backing.

#18My sister works for one of the intelligence agencies and says that the two biggest threats, from an intel perspective, are China and Israel.

Israel spies on America, America tapped Angela Merkel's phone. The job of spies is to know the internal thinking of the current administration.
Spying, tapping, hacking, etc are not acts of war. In fact, they probably prevent more conflict than they could possibly ever cause.
Had we listened to Israeli spies, we would have never gone to war with Iraq over WMDs. Spies save lives.

Where exactly did I trivialize spying?
What an excellent straw man you have constructed.
You know what's more damaging than snarkiness? Hyperbole, group think, and poor rhetoric. Hacker News, reddit, and Imgur have it in spades.
