It is becoming clear that Israeli or Jewish institutions supportive of Israel cannot be trusted and engage in manipulating and harassing other governments. It is time to take a stand and curtail or ban these institutions in foreign countries for the protection of their own citizens and governments.

  in this age of terrorism, all countries cooperate in gathering intelligence.Lets not get hysterical about it. What is tragic is death of a young man who could not cope with the pressure. He had not spied on his birth country like the famous British intellectuals Philby and Co.

Dual loyalties

"Dual loyalty charges have been the stock in trade of anti-Semites for centuries." But Zygier had dual loyalties, and it caused problems. Australian passports were used in Mossad operations. Anti-semites have eaten beans for years. Does that make eating beans bad?

Ben Saul et al

My kids went through the Jewish education system. I guess itt failed them miserably. They have not been recruited by the Mossad and are not Zionists. They are ambivalent towards Israel in spite of having family there. I read Ben Saul's article. I am glad my kids are students of his.
