| U.S. denying visas to Israeli defense officials, report says | |
| 2014-03-06 | |
| Obama once again demonstrates which side of the Middle East he is on, and it ain't America's. Bastard. The United States has quietly instituted a policy of denying visa requests from members of Israel's security services, Maariv/nrg reports. Senior security personnel who spoke to the paper said that over the past year they have seen hundreds of cases in which members of the Shin Bet and Mossad, and workers in Israel's defense industries, have been told they cannot visit America. The situation has been discussed in Israeli defense circles, they said. No official statement has been forthcoming from either U.S. or Israeli leaders.

| #6 Sounds like we caught somebody doing some spy work here recently. So? We've caught Russians and Chinese spying on us as well, but there don't seem to be the visa issues there. Back when the intelligence agencies had actual spies they might have been able to suggest methods of still cooperating with Israel without compromising stuff; that's supposed to be their job. It's all passive-aggressive BS. |

| #5 Sounds like we caught somebody doing some spy work here recently That is usually the case; it's been done in the past, across several administrations and on a reciprocal basis. Then again, the inter-national relationship was also relatively better in the past. |

| #1 Obama once again demonstrates which side of the Middle East he is on, and it ain't America's. Also, once again, demonstrates class. |
