Re: Caltech professor claims Israeli spy infiltrated JPL
#24This 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.
If Israel is #1 among our allies, France is infamously #2. You don't hear much about that either. I don't think this has much to do with antisemitism.

#25My sister works for one of the intelligence agencies and says that the two biggest threats, from an intel perspective, are China and Israel.

#26I doubt Israel would use an actual Israeli for espionage.

Of course it doesn't. But exposing and criticising France will scarcely receive the retaliation reserved for revealing Israeli spooks in the US. Much less (or zero) accusations of antisemitism.

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.
Except for the very same Israeli Mosad spies who knew much more about 9/11 before it happened. That could have saved many many lives indeed.

#30As someone who used to work at JPL I find this story hard to swallow. It's not that it's unlikely that an Israeli spy could get a job at JPL. That I don't doubt. (In fact, I'd be surprised if it hasn't happened.) What I find doubtful is that anyone could find out about it. Information security at JPL is not very tight. It's not the NSA. You'd have to be the world's most incompetent spy to let yourself be discovered by a colleague at JPL.
