During World War I, the British sought Jewish support in the fight against Germany. This and support for Zionism from Prime-Minister Lloyd-George[10] led to foreign minister, Lord Balfour making the Balfour Declaration of 1917, stating that the British Government "view[ed] with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people"..."it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine".
The British invasion force, led by General Allenby, included a force of Jewish volunteers (mostly Zionists), known as the Jewish Legion.[11]
Another aspect of this epiphytic survival strategy involves the large-scale theft of military and other classified secrets, mainly from the U.S., as illustrated by the arrest of Jonathan Pollard, and, more recently, his fellow spy Ben Ami Kadish. U.S. intelligence agencies have long characterized Israel as the most aggressive procurer of illicit technology transfers, and the case of Kadish – who stole nuclear secrets, missile defense technology, and other high-tech weapon designs – underscores this sensitive yet largely ignored aspect of the "special relationship."
Yet it isn't just technological secrets that the Israelis are interested in pilfering from their American big brothers: due to their dependence on the decisions and actions of our policymakers, they also require an extensive knowledge of the inner workings of the U.S. government. That's what the case of the AIPAC defendants is all about.
While Kadish recently pled guilty to charges of espionage, the AIPAC defendants – Steve Rosen, former AIPAC lobbying director, and Keith Weissman, who used to be AIPAC's Iran expert – are fighting the charges. They are accused of pilfering not only military-related intelligence, but also U.S. government documents revealing the internal policy debates within the administration, especially U.S. policy toward Iran. Their defense
team argues that the Justice Department, in prosecuting their clients, is criminalizing what ought to be considered legitimate lobbying and advocacy. One has to wonder, however, what kind of "advocacy" requires the theft [.pdf] of highly sensitive and classified materials and their transmission to officials of a foreign government.

Because Israel is really nothing but an american outpost in the middle east.
A base to commit every crime against humanity known to man. It is really not
the people of Israel doing this, it's not jews doing this, it is america that is
creating all this war and attrocity. Without america, Israel wouldn't even exist.
Israel is just an american tool of war. I wish the Israeli people would finally
open their eyes, and see the attrocities against innocent people they are
being used for.
Hamas caused 22 casualties in 7 years with their puny home made rockets,
they do this because they see no other way of keeping the world's attention
to the dire and inhumane situation they are in. In the last 12 days, Israel
has murdered almost 700 people, with as only excuse, Hamas rockets. How
anyone can support Israel and america in this war, is completely beyond
my ability to comprehend.
I hope to God americas evil chokehold on this world will be destroyed soon.
They've brought nothing but pain, misery, poverty, attrocities and darkness
to this world, ever since their creation hundreds of years ago. That country
was built from the start, on never before seen genocide, treachery,
betrayal, atrocities and slavery. It has been building on those fine attributes
untill this very day.
It really can't be easy being an american citizen, and realizing the horrors
your country has brought upon this world. I send you my good wishes and
prayers, americans. I hope you someday find the strength to rebuild
your country in love and compassion.
What strategic value does Israel have to the United States that makes us deal with what we do for these guys.

Who cares if Israel spies on the U.S., it is expected. Yes, allies spy on each other.
Keep lying to yourselves people, and spreading your hatred against Israel, The U.S., and Britain, and I, and many other moderate like me will start supporting the war more and more.
Those of you who constantly spread your lies are fooling no one. Hamas is a terrorist group supported by other Muslim groups who like to blow up innocent non-combatants, as if that will further their political views.
Your hatred of the U.S., and your lies fool no one. You are fanning the flames of WW III, and the Muslims will not win. You had better wake up before it is too late.
Europe is waking up to who you are. India is ready to start a larger fight. Russia and China don't care for Islam either, and they will not come to your rescue.

who is spreading lies? What it my OP was a lie please point one out. Allies dont spy on eachother like Israel has us. I want you to show me how many British spies we have found in the past 50 years. I want you to show me how many ships the British have attacked of ours in the past 50 years. I want you to show me how many British dual citizens work high up in our government like Israel does. There are some real issues here and its obvious you are blind to them because either you are an Israeli propagandist one of their cyber army or government propaganda has saturated your thought so much you cant think for yourself. Please address my initial questions.
