US Army Engineer Spies for Israel
Did a Jewish US Army engineer take classified
US military documents home and let an Israeli
intelligence officer photograph them?
The answer, of course, is yes. This is
Ben-Ami Kadish, and in the nineteen eighties while
working as an engineer at the US Army arsenal, he
passed classified American documents to Israeli intelligence.
The material covered US missile defense systems,
nuclear weapon design, and the F-15 fighter jet.
His handler was Yusuf Yagur, the same Israeli
intelligence officer who ran Jonathan Pollard, who was also
spying for Israel to steal nuclear technology from the United
States. For years the operation went undetected
but was finally caught. And for all of this, he was only
given a fine. That's right, the United States Department of
Justice did not pursue any prison time.
At the time, there were two American citizens,
the same Israeli
handler, classified US military secrets handed
over, and almost no consequences.
And all of these men involved are looked at as heroes in
Israel. And somehow there are Americans today that think our
relationship with Israel is beneficial.
