U.S. arrests American suspected of giving nuclear secrets to Israel

[Bitogno]

U.S. authorities arrested an American engineer on Tuesday on suspicion of giving military secrets involving nuclear weapons, fighter jets and air defense missiles to Israel during the 1980s, the Justice Department
said.

Ben-Ami Kadish, a Connecticut-born U.S. citizen who worked at an Army engineering center in New Jersey, was suspected of reporting to the same Israeli government handler who dealt with Jonathan Jay Pollard, who is serving a life term on a charge of spying for Israel.

Court papers say Kadish's spying lasted roughly from 1979 to 1985, and his contact with the unidentified Israeli handler continued until March of this yearhttp://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/977076.html

Pardon my ignorance .. whats the worst charge he can get for spying in USA ... are the penalties very severe? Thanks.

WASHINGTON (*******) - U.S. authorities arrested an American engineer on Tuesday on suspicion of giving secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and air defense missiles to Israel during the 1980s, the Justice Department said.

Ben-Ami Kadish, a Connecticut-born U.S. citizen who worked at an Army engineering center in New Jersey, was suspected of reporting to the same Israeli government handler as Jonathan Jay Pollard, who is serving a life term on a charge of spying for Israel.
Court papers say Kadish's spying lasted roughly from 1979 to 1985, and his contact with the unidentified Israeli handler continued until March of this year.
Kadish was arrested in New Jersey and was scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday afternoon at U.S. District Court in Manhattan, authorities said.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli government but a senior Israeli defense official said "I find it hard to believe that, after the Pollard affair, we would recruit an American spy."
Pollard pleaded guilty in 1986.
A Justice Department official said Kadish did not appear to receive any money in exchange for his suspected spying.

sorry if it's a repost.

Actually, ... (BBC):

"His handler has been named by justice officials as the former consul for Science Affairs at the Israeli Consulate General in Manhattan, reportedly the same person who dealt with Jonathan Jay Pollard, who is serving life in prison for spying for Israel."

It will be fun watching the Tribe's machine franticallly spinning damage control on this one.

[Limeyfellow]

Not much. We catch more spies for Israel in the US, than for China. Normally they just get sent off to jail and it stays rather hush hush most the time. There been at least 200 caught since 2001 and were expelled, but they were Israeli citizens. 150 US agents got turned into spies and caught since then, and hundreds more have been in jail for longer. I would think he'll get about ten years in prison for what he did, and probrobly his citizenship stripped.

[2Sheds_Jackson]

I don't think we've executed anybody in quite some time, but the punishment can (and often does) involve life in prison, huge fines and solitary confinement too. Pollard (a previous spy for Israel) got life in prison with a recommendation against parole.

Depending on what you give up, you can be sentence to death, but that hasn't happened in years (although there was some talk of them seeking the death penalty for Aldrich Ames). Usually they just get stiff sentences (usually well over 25 years).

What a lot of the general public doesn't know is just how many of our "allies" we catch spying on us. The Israelis, French, and Japanese get caught all the time. The French DGSE had intelligence agent pose as stewardesses on Air France (They would listen in on discussions of the passengers in the 1st Class section of certain flights), The Japanese got caught bugging the hotel rooms of officials discussing trade agreements, and the Israelis hist us up for military info (They usually like to get info we have on their enemies that we haven't shared with them).

[Military-G]

Thanks for the reply, how come they all get differenct sentances then... depending of the amount of info they gave away or its importance? I would have thought any amount would be to much.

The Rosenthals basically gave the Soviets nuclear capability. There is a special place in hell reserved just for them.

Dont get me wrong guys but - How can Isreal "dare" to spy on the USA and steal secrets from them? WHat is Isreal without the US ? I cant believe it - and that the US just takes it like that and doesnt "punch" back ?

If USA, for political reasons, withholds information that is essential to the security of Israel, what do you expect to happen?

You should be more worried about the chinese, russian, european, iranian, japanese, etc. spies, those would do you more harm than Israel ever could or would.

Everyone spies, so its all about who does the lesser harm by it.

The tribe is on the face of the earth for the last 4.000 years because of its strong and positive values (fear of G-d, intelligence, loyalty, determination....) and I suspect will be here for some more millenia observing how at every generation the laughter of the fools and idiots freezes.

[ramthor]

observing how at every generation the laughter of the fools and idiots freezes.

No doubt. Yet it's unusual that there hasn't been a word about this on CNN, when they wore us out when the last couple of Chinese were caught.

Convenient, too, that this item comes out on the day when every news media in the country is obsessed with the Pennsylvania primary.

[Ariha]

I hate to see how Israel has to spy on the US because the latter disowns his own signed commitments that even have the status of an International Treaty thanks to the endorsement of the American Parliament (1.985 I think) of the said commitment.

This issue speaks bad of the USA and not of Israel. After all it was an American general who said that Israel supplied the USA with intelligence worth of "5 CIAs" only in the Cold War period, when America risked his supremacy in the world. After that you stab Israel in the back and go to bed with the Saudis. Nice.

[Ariha]

"Known" to whom?

The USA has enough "leverage" on Israel to spare itself from this bad experiences..

The saying applies to everyone but really fits in this case, "beggars can't be choosers." Or something like, "don't bite the hand that feeds you."

[I'mOnlyHalfPolish]

Well the Israeli lobby in the US is quite huge. I even have a friend whose father lobbied for them in the Texas state gov't. He even got a free trip to Israel.

So, I'm not surprised this doesn't play well on the "Jewish-controlled media" hahahaha, someone had to say it!

[I'mOnlyHalfPolish]

Also my advice to the unlucky Israeli spy is...don't get caught next time.

[kahn267]

The fact is Israel relies heavily on the US and the US relies heavily on Israel. No other country in the world can get as close to US enemies as Israel can. Look at the handling of Mugniyeh - it reaks of Mossad.
One thing that needs to be noticed is that the spying never is done to threaten the security of the US but for Israel's own defences.

Israel is the US's best friend in the Middle East for many reasons, either by being owed or earned, and at the end of the day the US is Israel's only friend.

[Mr.Flint]

The spy in question is 84 year young, so good luck sending him to a 40 year prison term.

Treason carries a sentence of execution.


If he is found to be a guilty by the court, he should be executed to be made an example of. I don't care if the spy is from a friendly country. He is commiting treason and is an active traitor by handing down secret information to foreign governments without proper authority. Also, this is not the first time Israel has back-stabbed us. We should take punitive measures against Israel (if traitor is found guilty) such as cutting off military aid, and limiting military trade with Israel.

[Chimera]

Was he spying as a freelancer or was he sent by the Mossad or whatever else thats in charge of intelligence and spying in Israel?

[Snoshi]

Most people seem to miss one thing.. This happened in 80's..

So his service in US military during WW2 means nothing now?

As for punitive measures, well how about US backstabbing Israel by selling advance weaponry to its enemies?

A little hypocritical imho....

[ramthor]

Most people seem to miss one thing.. This happened in 80's..

The atrocities of WWII happened in the 40's - shall we just forget it?

And let's not kid ourselves - this is a current issue in every respect.

[gaijinsamurai]

The fact of the matter is that we all spy on eachother, to some degree. There's been an agreement between the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada that those nations not spy on each other, but a few years ago, the US was caught doing so, in the UN while Iraq-related business was being discussed, much to the embarrasment of the Bush Administration.

People who engage in espionage against their own country should suffer whatever consequences they get-and if people spying for the US are caught, they probably deserve the same fate as Pollard, Ames, or perhaps even the Rosenbergs.

[Red]

Most people seem to miss one thing.. This happened in 80's..

I don't recall there being a statute of limitations on espionage.

I know everybody is keeping an eye on everybody else, but don't you fear that after Pollard and this guy the extent to which the US feels it can rely on Israel might have gone down a few notches ?


One thing that needs to be noticed is that the spying never is done to threaten the security of the US but for Israel's own defences.

I can see how Israel's defences were helped, but I'm afraid Americans have quite a right to find they got skewered by this guy. The man had access to sensitive info, took an oath never to reveal them to a foreign nation (friendly or else) and did it nevertheless. Israel will probably never use information directly against the US, but it might trade that information, or a sanitized version, to a third nation, whose interests might not be as aligned to America's. When all is said and done, there is no asterisk saying "unless it's to a friendly nation" when this kind of employee swears he'll not divulge information. What would Israel do in a similar case ? Prosecute the culprit for espionage, I guess.


Israel is the US's best friend in the Middle East for many reasons, either by being owed or earned, and at the end of the day the US is Israel's only friend.

Why endanger the friendship, then ?

[Ariha]

If this issue linked to Pollard is reactivated 20 years after it´s because someone in the US administration wants to further weaken Israel´s political and diplomatic stance for events about to happen in the next months. I can´t believe that the FBI have not investigated everything worth to be investigated long ago.

[Dominique]

Everyone spies on each other.. Dont you think that US dont spy on Israel?

Snoshi is correct, with the exception of the Canadians, the Brits, and Aussies (and that's more of a gentleman's agreement than a hard fast rule) we spie on everyone, and they spy on us. As far as teh US spying on the Israelis goes, of course we do, as their policies don't always jibe with what the US wants them to do. Do any type of work with, or for any of the Israeli military, police, and security forces, and get ready for a LONG and through debriefing by Embassy the military attache', or a friendly visit from someone at the state department. Or travel overseas on Uncle Sam's dime to conduct official business with a foreign government, and I guarantee someone will be asking you exactly what you saw, and who you spoke with. It might mean anything to you, but someone's documenting all of this for possible use later. It's the way the game is played, and has been for years.

[Dominique]

Most people seem to miss one thing.. This happened in 80's..

Doesn't matter, he still supplied information to a foreign government, so I hope he likes the geriatrics ward of the federal prison he's headed to. The simple fact is, if you spy for another country, and get caught, Uncle Sugar has a little something for you. He knew the deal when he did it, and chose to do it anyway.

As far as providing info to "friendly" nations goes, last I checked, it's still ILLEGAL. No one authorized him to take it upon himself to provide the Israelis with info. If the US government had wanted the Israelis to have it, they would have given them the info. And the same goes in for the Israeli's, if they want us to know something they share it. It's that simple.

[ramthor]

The Pollard case was raised in the FBI's deposition since both agents were 'run' by the same minder, who was at that time an officer of the Israeli embassy in NYC. That official has since returned to Israel.

[Moledet]

Timing seems suspicious.
Israel planned to ask for the release of Pollard for the 60th independence day coming in a couple of weeks. Possibly someone in the CIA didn't like it because they are trying to make an example of Pollard.

Israel never admitted to spying in the US apart of in Pollard's case.

Maybe if Moses reappears and says to the United States Congress "Let My People Go" maybe then Pollard would be released, other than that good luck.

Not really, Bush is coming over for a visit before the independence day, it's the end of this presidency...I wouldn't be surprised if he releases Pollard.
Ofcourse that now it seems like the chances are lower but this story will be in the back pages by tomorrow when the votes of Hillary vs. Obama get published.

It's not and it won't be the first time that such event happens.

As one lawyer once said "never confess to anything". I guess with Pollard the evidence was too damnable to pretend it hadn't happened.

You should be more worried about the chinese, russian, european, iranian, japanese, etc. spies, those would do you more harm than Israel ever could or would.

And doesnt mean it is stealing them either - where is the source for this? I know China does, and Russia did, but the US stealing what from Germany? Its a sweeping allegation that could apply to anything, or anyone. All we have so far is 'They just do.'

[Mackie]

The source is my company. I was also surprised to hear "USA".
But I am mechanical engineer (University) and in the worlds 32 sectors of mechanical engineering, Germany leads 21.
So I don't wonder about it.
The US have the same problem with it's aircraft industry.
World leader = heavy espionage problems.

As someone pointed out, this is industrial espionage. All multinational corporations do it to save $$millions on R&D. Most agree that big business is much more effective in these efforts than the relative anemic intelligence services that most nations field today.

It's worth noting that the Israeli 'minder' for both Pollard and Kadish was also an employee of IAI (Israeli Aircraft Industries) at the time. This individual, identified by the FBI as "CC-1", called Kadish on March 20, 2008, and instructed him to lie to US law enforcement.

In mine as well. I find the arrogant, flippant attitude of the Israelis when it comes to issues like this reprehensible.

[ramthor]

"CC-1" has been open-source identified as Yossi Yagur, who as Science Deputy of the Israeli consulate in NYC, actually worked for LAKAM, an intelligence-gathering unit of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, and handled the take from Pollard and Kadish.

Jerusalem Post (today):

"LAKAM was established to assist Israel in obtaining technology for the construction of the nuclear reactor in Dimona. It basically worked to "steal" defense technology throughout the world on behalf of Israel's defense industries. And its agents were basically disguised as consulate workers.

Rafi Eitan, a former top Mossad official and today Pensioners Affairs Minister, was head of LAKAM at the time.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak was head of Military Intelligence at the time, and was one of the primary consumers of the information and material provided by the American spy for Israel (Pollard), who is serving a life sentence."

[ramthor]

A former senior CIA counterintelligence operative believes the case “will never go to trial, because of all the ugly stuff that would come out” about Israeli activities in the United States.


Indeed, Justice Department attorneys have fought to keep “ugly stuff” from emerging in the trial of two officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, charged with accepting classified documents from Pentagon official Larry Franklin.


But the federal judge in the case has indicated he might not go along with their strategy. Last month Judge Thomas Ellis III indefinitely postponed the trial of AIPAC officials Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, which was scheduled to open next week.

Traitor .. and scum of the earth


And also it shows you can't trust your supposed Friend in the Middle east .. and it shows how very effective Mossad are in getting info ...



They should be dealt with , because it hummilation for the US When an A Supposed friend spies on you it shows how far the trust and respect goes ...
