A secret budget request obtained by The Washington Post from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden lumps Israel alongside U.S. foes Iran and Cuba as “key targets” for U.S. counterintelligence efforts. The document suggests Israel does not believe U.S. assurances that its interests are aligned with Israel's on crucial issues such as Iran and peace talks with the Palestinians.
“To further safeguard our classified networks, we continue to strengthen insider threat detection capabilities across the Community,” reads the FY 2013 congressional budget justification for intelligence programs. “In addition, we are investing in target surveillance and offensive CI [counterintelligence] against key targets, such as China, Russia, Iran, Israel, Pakistan and Cuba.”

Quiet because Israel "wants the war" but doesn't want to fight in the war...Better to have the Goy spill their blood !!

The question is, what are they going to do if it is actually their western allies attacking them through the back door all the while looking quite innocent? All America is going to do is go drop a bomb or two here and there supposedly. Strategic bombing so they say, just a little spanking. Meanwhile it was stated that it would be Israel that would bear the brunt of any of those actions on a "full scale."

Thank you for noticing that. I thought that was rather a key points of this myself. I mean it seems like over night Israel is now a no trust list of America with a lot of their own enemies. Just strikes me as very very odd, not to mention the silence and other weird things....

I wonder if the USA does drop a few bombs on Syria if Israel will use the distraction to bomb Iran?
I was pretty horrified when a film of what happened inside the White House whilst some other USA incident was being watched by Hilary and a few others was shown. It showed Obama in and out of the room, someone said playing cards elsewhere whilst Hilary was duly horrified at what she was seeing. Obama looked like a spare part that came and went and never seemed bothered at all by what was happening.
I just want this whole thing to go away and I hope Obama has the courage to say he has changed his mind about USA involvement there. If he does go ahead it means that a lot of innocent people and children will get killed and for what, a smack with a bomb - I hope all the Senators and our politicians hold their stance of no bombing.
