Magnifying Israeli Espionage in the US

"New Jersey Man, 85, Pleads Guilty to Spying for Israel in the 1980s"

In this piece, the NYT reports on the guilty plea of an 85-year-old Jewish-American, who had spied on behalf of Israel in the 1980's.

As part of the NYT narrative is to herald the failures of the Jewish people and the Jewish State, the publication always pays particularly close attention to cases of Israeli espionage in the United States. That is, despite the fact this action occurred some two decades ago.

Another relevant espionage case, such as the recent guilty verdict found against an Iranian-American nuclear engineer for providing Iran with confidential software, did not receive any press coverage from the Times.

Why so?

  1. Good point and one that doesn't get made too often: what the Times DOESN'T REPORT.

    Another point:
    "...threatened United States relations with Israel."
    - That's a little extreme...and makes one think it's wishful thinking.
