Philip Giraldi said Tel Aviv's claims of not spying in the US are only intended for the media. He added that the Israeli lobby is so powerful that Washington cannot address Tel Aviv regarding the spying issue, which has been going on for many years. Thus the Mossad is spying in the US with impunity, Giraldi said.
Relations between the United States and Israel have been damaged historically and repeatedly regarding several incidents of Israeli and Jewish spies. In 2008, the US arrested an American suspected of spying for Israel.
Ben-Ami Kadish had given Israel secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and missiles in the 1980s.
The case was linked to the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal that put US and Israeli relations in jeopardy. In November 1985, the FBI arrested Jonathan Pollard on charges of selling classified material to Israel, which was later sold to the Soviets. Pollard was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment. His wife, Anne, got five years in jail for assisting her husband.
According to Lebanese news Website El-Nashra, Giraldi revealed that the Israel spy network that was recently nabbed in Lebanon, and which focused on the mobile phone telecommunications sector have a similar modus operandi to Mossad spy networks operating in the US.
The Website quoted Giraldi as saying that the “Israelis have established a technological infrastructure that enables them to tap most conversations in the United States and the world whether via mobile or land phones.”
