Israeli pleads guilty to leaking classified U.S. documents

So the anti-semitic FBI set this guy up the way it did Nozette. You are another Pollard without access to US classified information. Read something about Israeli espionage in the US. Pollard is a traitor, like you, and Americans wonder why Israel, supposedly a US ally, mounts aggressive espionage operations against the US. The FBI has the responsibility for counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism in the US. Already the FBI is hard pressed to discover and counter Al Qaeda terrorists operations being planned in the US, but Israel feels free to force the FBI to expend it resources on combatting Israeli espionage. Pollard passed over one million classified US documents to Israel. He also tried to sell US documents to South Africa and Pakistan. He passed US war plans against the USSR to Israel and Israel sold the plans to Moscow for more exit visas for Russian Jews. Was that info to help Israel? Anyone who supports Israeli espionage in the US is an enemy of the US, and so is Israel.

The press in Israel is so reactionary that evry liberal and human right activist gets the title "left wing". The title :left wing" should be reserved only for people who struggle to defend the rights of the workers and for people who strive for social change. What is wrong with calling these people "Peace activists" or simply "liberals".

10 years would be better. Even so, I hope the time in jail will give him time to rethink his deeds and maybe he will come out a better Jew.

You believe the US should continue supporting Israel because of Jewish religious beliefs? What to do, whom to support? According to God, Israel cannot occupy all of Palestine because God said in Judges 2:21-23 I WILL NOT EVICT ANY OF THE NATIONS WHICH JOSHUA LEFT WHEN HE DIED. You know that the Jebusites where already in Palestine when the Israelites arrived. The Jebusites had built Jerusalem, and inhabited it for 100 years after the Israelites arrival. So, when God made his vow not to evict any nation, the Jebusites were still there. In the academic world, many notable scholars and historians maintain the Jebusites were the forebears of the Palestinians. You know also that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is a violation of international law. Sadly, Jewish religious beliefs don't supersede international law. If international law had to conform to the beliefs of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism and Taoism, there would be no international law.

Was Pollard A leftist? How about Larry Franklin, who was sentenced to 12 Years? Was Ben Ami Kadish, who shared an Israeli handler with Pollard, one of those damned leftist? How about the information about US war plans against the USSR passed to Israel by Pollard and sold by the Israeli government to the USSR in return for more exit visas for Soviet Jews. Were they leftist? You're a phony.

I have to agree with this man, one state solution is the best for everyone in the MIDDLE EAST. Could you imagine, there would not be anoy reason for so called terrorism. Everybody need to realize that one nation like the US could work. I lived in that country when I was younger. Anyone could go wherever they want, work where they want. It was great, although not perfect was more liveable. Lets make a real peace with one state and forget this crapped of 2 states. Go bless the JEWS, the Muslims and every other god fearing people of the world . no matter what we all need to work and live together in peace and harmony.

according to Wired: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/12/fbi-linguist/ "Threat Level thinks it?s more likely Leibowitz was behind the leaked news that Representative Jane Harman had allegedly been caught on an NSA wiretap engaging in a quid-pro-quo conversation with an Israeli agent. That information was published in April by Jeff Stein, a writer for Congressional Quarterly, on his SpyTalk blog, which was mirrored at CQ Homeland Security. Stein told Threat Level he never comments on sources."

Leibovitz doesn't care about Judaism. He doesn't care about Israel. He doesn't care about America. He cares only about his leftist ideology. One question though makes me curious: what kind of employer is the FBI that doesn't check one's ideology and motivations? Hasn't the 9/11 fiasco taught the FBI a bit about human behaviour?

The friendship between the US and Israel is hardly a friendship at all. The only reason the US is supporting Israel militarily is so that Israel will not have to resort to using its nuclear arsenal to defend itself, which would result in thousands of square miles of oil-rich Arab land rendered uninhabitable. The US would just as soon dump Israel in favor of giving in to the terrorists who love to pounce on any country that maintains diplomatic relations with Israel and who needs OPEC oil. As for this Leibowitz kid, he's a left-winger using his security clearance to jeopardize relations between our two countries. You could just as well blame our own government for granting a security clearance to a foreign national. And I'm sure the Israeli government would have a thing or two to say to Mr. Leibowitz as well. Also, remember that he sold classified documents to a blogger, not to Israel. THAT is the first wrong turn you took when you went off the deep end with your comment.

...when they are considered for a sensitive government position. Divided loyalties is a topic which has been on the table a long time. During the cold war, anyone who had family or ties to any east block nation became suspect when they were considered for a sensitive position. Even with no overt evidence, it was and is considered a risk to employ somebody with potential for expolitation. Pollard is the poster child for this issue, but there are a number of others that illustrate the point just as well. The big question is, how much spying goes on for Israel by American Jews that is not detected. Not all spies can be as stupid as those who are caught.

In reponce to Sam. Wake up America your so called friends spying on you. What trust !

They are all the same, spies from the left and right. Folks with dual citizenship or folks with only US citizenship who spy on the US should be dealt with severely. Comments about being "set up," are just the usual obfuscation to deflect warranted criticism of Israel. These incidents CAUSE anti-semitism. Don't you get it?

I'll give you a reason Sam; Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Now go read ALL of Obadiah which is to become a literal fulfillment of His promise to our Father Avraham so many years ago.

This Israeli guy, Leibovitz should get the same treatment as Pollard & the same numbers of years behind bars. That's Left 4 u !

The Left hates free societies. Their comments confirming thus are abundant on this board.

Leibowitz is also infamous here in Israel for defending ISM "activists" who acted as human shields for West Bank terrorists.

Calling himself Israely is just another stab in the back of an enimy of Jewish state. He is more of Hamas than of Israel

He was set up, like Stewart Nozette. It was his duty to leak documents he thought would help Israel. He's the left's Pollard.

Talk about being good friends of Israel. Tell me one reason why US should continue supporting a country who spies on the one country that helped its existance?

he was doing good. Too bad he did things against the rule of the state. He's all yours. I do not think too many lovers of Israel will be pleading to get him out of jail ...as compared to the amount that would like to see Pollard released.
