On the occasion of being reminded how little many Americans really know about how 'our special friend' Israel actually treats the United States with regard our ability to defend ourselves and stay out of meaningless wars ...
USS Liberty
In 1967 the USS Liberty was deliberately attacked by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-liberty_tuesoct02-story.html
The survivors interviewed by the Tribune uniformly agree that the Liberty was flying the Stars and Stripes before, during and after the attack, except for a brief period in which one flag that had been shot down was replaced with another, larger flag -- the ship's "holiday colors" -- that measured 13 feet long.
"The ground control station stated that the target was American and for the aircraft to confirm it," Forslund recalled. "The aircraft did confirm the identity of the target as American, by the American flag.
"The //Israeli//ground control station ordered the aircraft to attack and sink the target and ensure they left no survivors."
This deliberate murder of US sailors and one civilian SIGINT analyst was covered up by the Johnson administration. The likely intent was to send a message to the US - spy on us at great risk.
Best I know we never returned the favor in kind.
Pollard
During my time in DC Pollard was an Israeli spy. I saw him frequently in passing. Israel was trading critical US defense secrets obtained for them by Pollard to the Soviet Union - at the very height of the cold war. This was putting the US at extraordinary risk. The only credible explanation was that, in exchange for critical national security secrets, the Soviets were permitting the emigration of talented Russian jews to Israel (where did you think their clever defense manufacturers came from).
Unsurprisingly Pollard was allowed to move to Israel by Obama. This was done over the objections by literally everyone in the intel communities who understood the critical need to pose a disincentive to further Israeli recruiting within their ranks (-think Ms Maxwell (below)). Israeli considerations to the Obama organization in return for for the release has not been made public.
Players in the Pollard affair include intelligence chief and PM Barak. As described by Mrs Pollard in her petition “The petition maintains "that because [Barak] has all the documents and knows the truth about [Pollard's] espionage in the US but has failed to publicize it, this has made it impossible for [Pollard] to defend himself" in the US.” https://www.jonathanpollard.org/1999/090899.htm
Barak. one time head of Aman, the Military Intelligence Directorate
And Pollard's attorney - the ever present Allan Dershowitz.
With the fall of the Soviet Union Israel shifted in trafficking critical US defense secrets with the new greatest threat to mankind - Communist China.
LAVI Fighter
“In the 1980s, the U.S. partnered with Israel to develop a new combat aircraft based on the General Dynamics F-16. But as costs rose, the U.S. pulled out of the deal, leaving Israel’s “Lavi” fighter unfinished. Years later American officials discovered that Israel sold the Lavi’s development plans to China, granting them unprecedented access to technologies first developed for the F-16.”
The J-10 figures prominently in the Chinese Air Force and is a direct threat to US Navy and USAF assets in the western pacific as the likelihood of a war increases.
Patriot Missile
The Patriot Missile is a vital anti aircraft and anti missile defense system for US forces. As reported in the link below these units, the most advanced Patriot system had only been supplied to one nation, Israel. And Israel was caught covertly shipping a number of them to China.
9/11 and discovery of widespread Israeli interference in US anti-terr effort within US
“HUME: “Carl, what about this question of advanced knowledge of what was going to happen on 9/11? How clear are investigators that some Israeli agents may have known something?”
Note – the above quote was in the Fox News report – I watched it several times and commented on it at the time. It now is missing from many of the videos on the internet.
Note also Cameron reports that when the FBI would begin 'wire taps' of suspected terrorists the terrorists would often change their profile, negating the tap. If one is curious if Israeli intelligence could have a communications channel with individuals they know are moslem terrorists they ought research the case of Nick Berg.
Sounds like a nice jewish kid from Philly. Oh, he worked on the communications for the Republican Convention … interesting.
“Moussaoui used Berg's e-mail address” - in point of fact Moussaoui had a 'q anon' type channel with the likely Israeli agent Nick Berg.
Israel clearly felt it more important to drag the US into a shooting war with their moslem opponents than assist the US in preventing the deaths of 2,977 Americans.
Israeli disinformation and the casus belli for a enormously expensive war.
“Mr Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, mounted an attempt to include Iraq in the war against terror. When the established agencies came up with nothing concrete to link Iraq and al-Qaida, the OSP was given the task of looking more carefully.” “It // forged close ties to a parallel, ad hoc intelligence operation inside Ariel Sharon's office in Israel specifically to bypass Mossad and provide the Bush administration with more alarmist reports on Saddam's Iraq than Mossad was prepared to authorize. (All of which doesn't discount a very successful (for Israel) misinformation campaign by Israeli Military Intelligence to commit US troops into a war against Israel's enemies)
Epstein
Yes, that makes sense. Everyone around Epstein was a HUGE Russia supporter – Dershowitz, Wexner, Maxwell, Barry Krischer and Epstein himself. Just look at their philanthropies. It screams RUSSIA! https://t.co/X8v3OD4M0L
— a VERY sarcastic Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 10, 2019
The prostituting of young American girls in order to blackmail stupid US decision makers, influencers, and scientists is grotesque. One of the most dogged reporters on the issue, from well before Epstein's arrest in 2019 was Anne Coulter. She made it clear who Epstein worked for. She was on to him twenty years ago and noted no one else ever adequately reported on him.
This article came closer to the obvious truth. https://nworeport.me/2019/07/16/ann-coulter-something-much-bigger-behind-epsteins-child-sex-network/
Putting the plain truth in full view is this report attributing Epstein/Maxwell to Israeli Military Intelligence - as though there's a difference in the distinction to the young US victims and politicians being blackmailed. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/epstein-case-documentaries-wont-touch-tales-intel-ties
There are a host of disinformation efforts at work concerning Epstein. Lies within lies and portions of the truth to validate the whole. Below is one of the better explanations, buyer beware.
And, as this is about Israeli intelligence, showing up again – Barak, former head of Aman, the Military Intelligence Directorate.
“Married Israeli politician Ehud Barak is seen
hiding his face entering Jeffrey Epstein's NYC
townhouse as bevy of young beauties were also
spotted going into mansion – despite
his claim he NEVER socialized with the pedophile and his girls”
York before Epstein’s death in 2019, according to a new book by journalist Michael Wolff.
And Dershowitz.
Again.
I also might offer that Assange, a key player in debunking the 'russia hacked the DNC' myth may want any other attorney than Dershowitz!

Isn't it interesting how Ann Coulter rapidly fell out of favor in the circles of power subsequent to her associating Epstein, Maxwell with Israel. Obviously this is mere coincidence.
As will be her unhappy suicide if she presses on with the subject.

Conclusion
The Israeli government, under a series of PMs, has left little doubt they are NOT our 'friend'. I wish the nation of Israel no ill will because of it's ethnicity, but I do want all relationships between governments severed and reestablished acknowledging it is a nation that has repeatedly damaged US interests and hosts a hostile intelligence service. They are, in effect, North Korea - albeit with a gay affirming tourist trade.
Footnote
Below is an interesting (if somewhat dated) summary of Israeli perfidy from 'WhatReallyHappened.com”
1947. Information collected by the ADL in its spy operations on US citizens is used by the House Select Committee on Unamerican Activities. Subcommittee Chair Clare Hoffman dismisses the ADL’s reports on suspected communists as “hearsay."
1950 John Davitt, former chief of the Justice Department's internal security section notes that the Israeli intelligence service is the second most active in the United States after the Soviets.
1954 A hidden microphone planted by the Israelis is discovered in the Office of the US Ambassador in Tel Aviv.
1956 Telephone taps are found connected to two telephones in the residence of the US military attache in Tel Aviv.
1954 "The Lavon Affair". Israeli agents recruit Egyptian citizens of Jewish descent to bomb Western targets in Egypt, and plant evidence to frame Arabs, in an apparent attempt to upset US-Egyptian relations. Israeli defense minister Pinchas Lavon is eventually removed from office, though many think real responsibility lay with David Ben-Gurion.
1965 Israel apparently illegally obtains enriched uranium from NUMEC Corporation. (Washington Post, 6/5/86, Charles R. Babcock, "US an Intelligence Target of the Israelis, Officials Say.")
1967 Israel attacks the USS Liberty, an intelligence gathering vessel flying a US flag, killing 34 crew members. See "Assault on the Liberty," by James M. Ennes, Jr. (Random House). In 2004, Captain Ward Boston, Senior Legal Counsel for the Navy’s Court of Inquiry into the attack swears under oath that President Lyndon Johnson ordered the investigation to conclude accident, even though the evidence indicates the attack was deliberate. Given the use by Israel of unmarked boats and planes, and the machine-gunning of USS Liberty’s lifeboats, the most likely explanation is that USS Liberty was to be sunk with all hands, with evidence left to frame Egypt for the sinking. This would have dragged the US into the war on Israel’s side.
1970 While working for Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Richard Perle is caught by the FBI giving classified information to Israel. Nothing is done.
1978, Stephen Bryen, then a Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer, is overheard in a DC hotel offering confidential documents to top Israeli military officials. Bryen obtains a lawyer, Nathan Lewin, and the case heads for the grand jury, but is mysteriously dropped. Bryen later goes to work for Richard Perle.
1979 Shin Beth [the Israeli internal security agency] tries to penetrate the US Consulate General in Jerusalem through a “Honey Trap”, using a clerical employee who was having an affair with a Jerusalem girl.
1985 The New York Times reports the FBI is aware of at least a dozen incidents in which American officials transferred classified information to the Israelis, quoting [former Assistant Director of the F.B.I.] Mr. [Raymond] Wannal. The Justice Department does not prosecute.
1985 Richard Smyth, the owner of MILCO, is indicted on charges of smuggling nuclear timing devices to Israel (Washington Post, 10/31/86).
1987 April 24 Wall Street Journal headline: "Role of Israel in Iran-Contra Scandal Won't be Explored in Detail by Panels"
1992 The Wall Street Journal reports that Israeli agents apparently tried to steal Recon Optical Inc's top-secret airborne spy-camera system.
1992 Stephen Bryen, caught offering confidential documents to Israel in 1978, is serving on board of the pro-Israeli Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs while continuing as a paid consultant -- with security clearance -- on exports of sensitive US technology.
1992 "The Samson Option," by Seymour M. Hersh reports, “Illicitly obtained intelligence was flying so voluminously from LAKAM into Israeli intelligence that a special code name, JUMBO, was added to the security markings already on the documents. There were strict orders, Ari Ben-Menashe recalled: "Anything marked JUMBO was not supposed to be discussed with your American counterparts."
1993. The ADL is caught operating a massive spying operation on critics of Israel, Arab-Americans, the San Francisco Labor Council, ILWU Local 10, Oakland Educational Association, NAACP, Irish Northern Aid, International Indian Treaty Council, the Asian Law Caucus and the San Francisco police. Data collected was sent to Israel and in some cases to South Africa. Pressure from Jewish organizations forces the city to drop the criminal case, but the ADL settles a civil lawsuit for an undisclosed sum of cash.
1995 The Defense Investigative Service circulates a memo warning US military contractors that "Israel aggressively collects [US] military and industrial technology." The report stated that Israel obtains information using "ethnic targeting, financial aggrandizement, and identification and exploitation of individual frailties" of US citizens.
1996 A General Accounting Office report "Defense Industrial Security: Weaknesses in US Security Arrangements With Foreign-Owned Defense Contractors" found that according to intelligence sources "Country A" (identified by intelligence sources as Israel, Washington Times, 2/22/96) "conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally." The Jerusalem Post (8/30/96) quoted the report, "Classified military information and sensitive military technologies are high-priority targets for the intelligence agencies of this country." The report described "An espionage operation run by the intelligence organization responsible for collecting scientific and technologic information for [Israel] paid a US government employee to obtain US classified military intelligence documents." The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (Shawn L. Twing, April 1996) noted that this was "a reference to the 1985 arrest of Jonathan Pollard, a civilian US naval intelligence analyst who provided Israel's LAKAM [Office of Special Tasks] espionage agency an estimated 800,000 pages of classified US intelligence information."
The GAO report also noted that "Several citizens of [Israel] were caught in the United States stealing sensitive technology used in manufacturing artillery gun tubes."
1996 (discussed above) An Office of Naval Intelligence document, "Worldwide Challenges to Naval Strike Warfare" reported that "US technology has been acquired [by China] through Israel in the form of the Lavi fighter and possibly SAM [surface-to-air] missile technology." Jane's Defense Weekly (2/28/96) noted that "until now, the intelligence community has not openly confirmed the transfer of US technology [via Israel] to China." The report noted that this "represents a dramatic step forward for Chinese military aviation." (Flight International, 3/13/96)
1997 An Army mechanical engineer, David A. Tenenbaum, "inadvertently" gives classified military information on missile systems and armored vehicles to Israeli officials (New York Times, 2/20/97).
1997 The Washington Post reports US intelligence has intercepted a conversation in which two Israeli officials had discussed the possibility of getting a confidential letter that then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher had written to Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat. One of the Israelis, identified only as “Dov”, had commented that they may get the letter from "Mega”, the code name for Israel’s top agent inside the United States.
1997 US ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, complains privately to the Israeli government about heavy-handed surveillance by Israeli intelligence agents.
1997 Israeli agents place a tap on Monica Lewinsky’s phone at the Watergate and record phone sex sessions between her and President Bill Clinton. The Ken Starr report confirms that Clinton warned Lewinsky their conversations were being taped and ended the affair. At the same time, the FBI’s hunt for “Mega” is called off.
2001 (discussed earlier) It is discovered that US drug agents’ communications have been penetrated. Suspicion falls on two companies, AMDOCS and Comverse Infosys, both owned by Israelis. AMDOCS generates billing data for most US phone companies and is able to provide detailed logs of who is talking to whom. Comverse Infosys builds the tapping equipment used by law enforcement to eavesdrop on all American telephone calls, but suspicion forms that Comverse, which gets half of its research and development budget from the Israeli government, has built a back door into the system that is being exploited by Israeli intelligence and that the information gleaned on US drug interdiction efforts is finding its way to drug smugglers. The investigation by the FBI leads to the exposure of the largest foreign spy ring ever uncovered inside the United States, operated by Israel. Half of the suspected spies have been arrested when 9-11 happens. On 9-11, 5 Israelis are arrested for dancing and cheering while the World Trade Towers collapse. Supposedly employed by Urban Moving Systems, the Israelis are caught with multiple passports and a lot of cash. Two of them are later revealed to be Mossad. As witness reports track the activity of the Israelis, it emerges that they were seen at Liberty Park at the time of the first impact, suggesting a foreknowledge of what was to come. The Israelis are interrogated, and then eventually sent back to Israel. The owner of the moving company used as a cover by the Mossad agents abandons his business and flees to Israel. The United States Government then classifies all of the evidence related to the Israeli agents and their connections to 9-11. All of this is reported to the public via a four part story on Fox News by Carl Cameron. Pressure from Jewish groups, primarily AIPAC, forces Fox News to remove the story from their website. Two hours prior to the 9-11 attacks, Odigo, an Israeli company with offices just a few blocks from the World Trade Towers, receives an advance warning via the internet. The manager of the New York Office provides the FBI with the IP address of the sender of the message, but the FBI does not follow up.
2001 The FBI is investigating 5 Israeli moving companies as possible fronts for Israeli intelligence.
2001 JDL’s Irv Rubin arrested for planning to bomb a US Congressman. He dies before he can be brought to trial.
2002 The DEA issues a report that Israeli spies, posing as art students, have been trying to penetrate US Government offices.
2002 police near the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in southern Washington State stop a suspicious truck and detain two Israelis, one of whom is illegally in the United States. The two men were driving at high speed in a Ryder rental truck, which they claimed had been used to "deliver furniture." The next day, police discovered traces of TNT and RDX military-grade plastic explosives inside the passenger cabin and on the steering wheel of the vehicle. The FBI then announces that the tests that showed explosives were “false positived” by cigarette smoke, a claim test experts say is ridiculous. Based on an alibi provided by a woman, the case is closed and the Israelis are handed over to INS to be sent back to Israel. One week later, the woman who provided the alibi vanishes.
2003 The Police Chief of Cloudcroft stops a truck speeding through a school zone. The drivers turn out to be Israelis with expired passports. Claiming to be movers, the truck contains junk furniture and several boxes. The Israelis are handed over to immigration. The contents of the boxers are not revealed to the public.
2003 Israel deploys assassination squads into other countries, including the United States. The US Government does not protest.
2004 Police near the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Tennessee stop a truck after a three mile chase, during which the driver throws a bottle containing a strange liquid from the cab. The drivers turn out to be Israelis using fake Ids. The FBI refuses to investigate and the Israelis are released.
2004 Two Israelis try to enter Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, home to eight Trident submarines. The truck tests positive for explosives.
