The United States arrested an 84-year-old American on Tuesday suspected of giving Israel secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and missiles in the 1980s, in a case linked to the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal that rocked U.S.-Israeli relations.

Oh ho ho.

The arrest of Ben-Ami Kadish indicates that Israeli spying revealed by the Pollard case, still an irritant to the U.S. alliance with Israel, may have spread wider than previously acknowledged.

But we’ll threaten to kick the asses of anyone who threatens them, especially if that other country isn’t spying on us.

Kadish acknowledged his spying in FBI interviews and said he acted to help Israel, according to court documents.

He was accused of reporting to an Israeli government handler who was also a main contact for Pollard, an American citizen serving a life term on a 1985 charge of spying for Israel.

And we weren’t keeping tabs on a known spy-handler because…?

Pollard pleaded guilty in 1986. Israel gave him citizenship in 1996 and acknowledged in 1998 the former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst was one of its spies. Israel has unsuccessfully sought Pollard’s release. [emphasis mine]

I thought people that handled sensitive data like that had thorough background checks. I guess we don’t have to worry too much anymore because it’s all farmed out to private contractors now.

 Kadish is a Connecticut-born U.S. citizen who worked as a mechanical engineer at the Army’s Picatinny Arsenal. His spying lasted roughly from 1979 to 1985, and his contact with the unidentified Israeli handler continued until March of this year.

Awesome.

The complaint cited Kadish as saying that, unlike Pollard, he received no money from the Israelis.

Dummy, everyone knows the world economy is controlled by an elite Judaic banking cartel. Shoulda gone for the duckets.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned Tehran on Tuesday that if she were president, the United States could “totally obliterate” Iran in retaliation for a nuclear strike against Israel.

DO NOT WANT. I couldn’t vote for her in the primaries, as I am not a registered Democrat, but if it’s her against McCain I’m voting for Al Gore again.

On the day of a crucial vote in her nomination battle against fellow Democrat Barack Obama, the New York senator said she wanted to make clear to Tehran what she was prepared to do as president in hopes that this warning would deter any Iranian nuclear attack against the Jewish state.

Repeat after me: Iran does not have nuclear weapons. Iran is not trying to make nuclear weapons. If we keep threatening them, Iran may decide to get nuclear weapons. If you go down the street and start threatening to shoot neighbor A if they shoot neighbor B, whom they don’t like, but so far neighbor A doesn’t have a gun and claims to not want one, well, threatening to shoot neighbor A enough will certainly encourage them go get a gun in case you come back with yours.

Iran has attacked how many countries in the recent past? Israel has attacked how many countries in the recent past? And which one of them actually has nukes?

Al-Qaida’s embrace of violence may be undermining the terrorist group’s support in the Muslim world, the nation’s top intelligence official said Thursday.

All we have to do to take advantage of this is to stop invading muslim countries. Gonna happen? I hope.

Give up the dirt. Give up the fucking rock. Stop wasting lives over it. Normalize relations so you an visit your fucking rock, cry about how you lost it, and set about spending your money crushing your neighbors financially until you can buy said rock back at a pittance. It may take a couple thousand years, but you will have the rock, you can build your temple. Shit, you’ve already been waiting a couple thousand, what’s a couple thousand more? Spend your brains thinking about how to increase your lifespans and enrich yourself. No one said you couldn’t buy a country if the price was right and they were poor enough.

The United States, Burns said, considers “this $30 billion in assistance to Israel to be an investment in peace, in long-term peace — peace cannot be made without strength”.

You cannot pour gasoline onto a fire and expect it to go out. I honestly don’t know what else can be said about this issue that hasn’t already been said by greater minds. We bomb civilians and arm those who bomb civilians. We can abuse English and call them “military targets” but that does not obviate the fact that they are indeed civilians dying in these ‘wars’ we and others wage.

But you’re not gonna find that in American media.
