The US Department of State has refused to deny recent reports which said Israel’s espionage activities in the United States have “crossed red lines.”
Earlier this month, Newsweek reporter Jeff Stein stirred controversy by writing two scathing articles about Israel’s espionage activities in the US which he described as “unrivaled and unseemly,” citing US intelligence officials.
In one of his articles, Stein even revealed that “Zionists” secretly obtained key components for their nuclear bombs in the United States and their spies had been sent to the US “before there even was an Israel.”
In the other article, Stein broke the story of an Israeli spy who hid 16 years ago in an air duct in the hotel room of then-US vice president Al Gore. He also revealed that while US officials learned about the brazen spying incident, they quickly hushed it up “because it was done by Israel.”
Following Israelis’ anger and denial of the reports, Stein insisted his reports were factual and that “facts are facts.”
Israel’s Jerusalem Post newspaper asked the US State Department this week to confirm or contextualize the reports. However, the department’s spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the US government does not “comment on intelligence matters.”
“We have a close intelligence partnership with Israel, and value our cooperation with them in this field because it serves our mutual interests,” added Psaki.
In a phone interview with Press TV earlier this week, James H Fetzer, an editor at Veterans Today, said “no foreign nation should share its intelligence with the United States” because any such intelligence “would go directly to Israel.”
Fetzer also said that “Zionists” in the United States and those who are under their influence are “traitors” to America and “are betraying the nation for the benefit of Israel.”
