Mossad: Israel's Intelligence Agency

Dive into the clandestine world of Mossad, Israel's formidable intelligence agency.

Born from the vision of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, Mossad was established in 1949.

It was reorganized in 1951, reporting directly to the Prime Minister, a move journalist Ronen Bergman calls a "deep state."

Ben Gurion wanted a central body to coordinate and improve cooperation between the existing security services -

Non-negotiable.

Under Director David "Dadi" Barnea, Mossad's recent operations include navigating hostage crises and engaging in covert actions against Iran.

Their work is shrouded in secrecy, vital for Israel's security.

If you're thinking about joining Mossad, you'll need to be a citizen of Israel.

But, according to the "Contact us" section of the Mossad website, all are welcome, regardless of religion, nationality, or occupation,

to contact their organization to work for them or to be involved in activities that could bring great personal benefit.

Reports suggest Mossad operates in the U.S., leading espionage against American targets.

Details are classified, but their influence is undeniable.

Leaked Pentagon documents have stirred U.S.-Israel tensions, alleging Mossad's involvement in domestic protests.

The truth remains obscured by the fog of espionage.

The Five Eyes alliance, an intelligence behemoth, extends beyond the U.S. and U.K. to include other nations.

It's a web of surveillance born from wartime cooperation, now a modern-day digital watchdog.

Mossad's story is one of shadows and intrigue, a testament to the complex tapestry of global intelligence.

There have been recent reports of leaked Pentagon documents that have heightened tensions between the US and Israel.

The leaked documents include allegations that Israel's spy body Mossad has been fueling protests against the government's judicial overhaul.

In April 2023, two sets of leaked classified foreign intelligence documents of the United States began circulation on Twitter, Telegram, and 4chan.

The documents are primarily related to the Russo-Ukrainian War but also include foreign intelligence assessments concerning nations including North Korea, China, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.

Other documents reveal attempts by the Wagner Group to acquire weapons in Turkey, a NATO member.

One set of documents alleges that Mossad encouraged staff and citizens to participate in judicial reform protests.

The leak spurred a diplomatic crisis between the United States and the Five Eyes.

On April 13, 2023, the FBI arrested Jack Teixeira in connection with the leak. A 21-year-old airman working for NORAD who worked at Otis Air Base for the Massachusetts Air National Guard,

They would routinely have access to reports and dispatches filed on the Joint WORLDWIDE Intelligence Communication System (JWICS)

The Five Eyes (FVEY) is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

These countries are parties to the multilateral UK-USA agreement - a treaty for cooperation in signals intelligence.

The origins of the FVEY can be traced to informal secret meetings during WWII between British and American codebreakers before the US formally entered the war.

The FVEY expanded their surveillance during "the war on terror" which emphasized the World Wide Web.

Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden described the Five Eyes (FVEY) as a "supra-national intelligence organization that does not answer to the known laws of its own country."

Documents leaked by Snowden in 2013 revealed that the FVEY has been spying on one another's citizens and sharing the collected information, although the FVEY nations maintain that this was done legally.

U.S. Storm over book on Israel Lobby
By Henri Astier
BBC News

Two US academics, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard, have set out to answer those questions, and triggered a firestorm of controversy as a result.

Their book The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, which builds on a 2006 article in the London Review of Books, says the reasons for US support for Israel need to be explained.

America spends $3bn a year in largely military assistance - one-sixth of its direct aid budget - to help a prosperous, nuclear-armed country, and strongly backs Israel in negotiations on Middle East peace.

But according to Mearsheimer and Walt, the US gets remarkably little in return.

The real reason behind US support for Israel is domestic - the activities of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and other groups and think tanks called "Israel lobby," not Jewish lobby.

Those who question US support for Israel knows they are in for a fight, making it more trouble than it is worth.
