But even so...Bibi leaked US conversations....without any clamor from the right wing...

Why wouldn't turnabout be fair play?

And is this any different than Vanunu? Are there any secrets here? Come on guys. If you want info on the Israeli Nuclear Program, you could just write them at:

Israel Nuclear Programme
Dimona, Israel.

And the article states that the US DOD was sued 3 years ago to release the info. And LOST. So the US government decided to no longer fight the FOIA request.

So the information is 28 years old and the government was bound by law to release it.

I am inclined to be skeptical that both (1) this information is significant or damaging, (2) that Israel released information that was either supplied by the US or gained from spying directly on the US.

I am inclined to believe - because of the three year timing - that this release is much ado about nothing (though I hope that the US gave Israel a heads up about it). I also believe that the administration is deliberately misrepresenting or lying about some of the statements from the recent Israeli election ... I think that accusations of spying may well be the administration acting out.

Q: do you (or anyone else here) read or speak Hebrew? (PM if so, and you don't want to reply here). I don't, but I'm interested in a direct translation of what Netanyahu actually said on a couple of topics during the election campaign.
