In January, 1996, the Defense Investigative Service wrote a confidential memo to many military contractors warning them that the Israeli government was "aggressively" trying to steal US military and intelligence secrets, using "strong ethnic ties" to recruit spies (that is, using Jewish US citizens.) The Washington Post stated:
"The confidential memo on Israel began by noting that the country, a major recipient of US military and economic aid, 'is a political and military ally.' But it continued, 'the nature of espionage relations between the two governments is competitive.'

"It said Israel 'aggressively collects [U.S.] military and industrial technology,' including spy satellite data, missile defense information, and data on military aircraft, tanks, missile boats, and radars.


"Drawing on the example of the Pollard case and of other Israeli espionage operations in the United States, the memo said that the country's recruitment techniques include 'ethnic targeting, financial aggrandizement, and identification and exploitation of individual frailties' of US citizens.

"'Placing Israeli nationals in key industries . . . is a technique utilized with great success,' the memo said." (The Washington Post, January 30, 1996, p. A1

ADL USES THE OLD "ANTI-SEMITISM" CANARD
American Jews secured a copy of the memo in quick order. (No espionage here, of course!)

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rith publicly called upon the Pentagon to -- are you ready for this? -- conduct an "internal investigation" -- not on the possibly treasonous American Jews, but on the intelligence officers who wrote the memo!
"'This is a distressing charge which impugns American Jews and borders on anti-semitism,' said ADL Director Abraham H. Foxman in a letter to Defense Secretary William J. Perry.
"The government memo, and the ADL's angry reaction to it, highlight a particularly delicate issue for the Defense Department. Many military counterintelligence officials remain scarred by the 1985 revelation that Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard stole what the memo refers to as 'vast quantities of classified information' on Israel's behalf over a 17-month period . . .

"In first publicizing the memo, which was first obtained by the Jewish weekly Moment Magazine, ADL director Foxman complained not only about its reference to Israeli recruitment techniques but also its harsh tone . . ."

DEFENSE INVESTIGATIVE SERVICE
PATRIOTS WERE RIGHT
In fact American Jews are regularly called upon to take part in Israeli intelligence operations within the US, and regularly do exactly that. There is even a Hebrew word that denotes such people: "sayanim." Mossad whistleblower Victor Ostrovsky has described them as "a unique and important part of the Mossad's operation."
"There are thousands of sayanim around the world. In London alone, there are about 2,000 who are active, and another 5,000 on the list. They fulfill many different roles. A car sayan, for example, running a rental agency, could help the Mossad rent a car without having to complete the usual documentation . . .
"Suppose during an operation a katsa [Mossad case officer] suddenly had to come up with an electronics store as a cover. A call to a sayan in that business could bring 50 television sets, 200 VCRs -- whatever was needed -- from his warehouse to your building, and in next to no time, you'd have a store with $3 or $4 million worth of stock in it . . . The system allows the Mossad to work with a skeleton staff. That's why, for example, a KGB station would employ 100 people, while a comparable Mossad station would need only six or seven." (By Way Of Deception, Victor Ostrovsky & Claire Hoy, St. Martin's Paperbacks, New York, 1990, pgs. 87, 88.)

In The Other Side of Deception, Victor Ostrovsky writes about another Israeli intelligence unit, the Lishka Le Kishry Mada, which he describes as "the section for scientific relations, a special unit directly under the prime minister's office . . ."

The Lishka Le Kishry Mada ("LAKAM") was the agency that recruited Jonathan Pollard. Sayan within the Pentagon gave the LAKAM case manager sources, and Pollard was directed to bring out the hard copy. (The Other Side of Deception, Victor Ostrovsky, Harper Paperbacks, New York, 1995; pgs. 33, 34.)

So in the Pollard case, American Jews within the Pentagon had their loyalties tested. They chose Israel.
