1. Typical Government Prosecutor
Cynic ,   USA   (04.24.08)
This guy will use anything at his disposal to justify the illegal life sentence given to Pollard. He knows that Caspar Weinberger's false ex parte communication with the judge was the cause for the life sentence, and yet he acts so proud of himself.
2. Question
J K ,   NYC, USA   (04.24.08)
Didnt Kadish's alledged trangressions take place and end BEFORE the whole Pollard mess. You can be sure whatever Israel was up to before was scaled way back if not ended after Pollard. This is new news, but its old in the sense that it was before the end.
3. huh?
Or Shahor ,   Chicago, USA   (04.24.08)
An 83 year old man is a "sleeper cell"?
4. So What
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (04.24.08)
the CIA and MI5 have probably government officials and journalist spying for them in Israel or buying influence.
5. 007 would do it better
eddie ,   london UK   (04.24.08)
in a mini camera he could hid in his shirt, he would take snap photos of the documents, without needing to rendez-vous with his controller. I am sure that Mossad had this type of equipment in the 80's, so perhaps this is a fall guy - becasue america wants to presure Israel on the palestinian front or in terms of arming other arab regimes.
6. Us will soon try to prosecute the spies thatJoshua sent over
Alan ,   SA   (04.24.08)
7. umm...US seems to have already pocketed a lot of money
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (04.24.08)
to release the old man ,before putting him(G'od forbid)to death. This thing has a smell I know alraedy...My parents came from Europe...
8. Jail all the CIA agents in Israel, trade for Pollard/Kadima
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (04.24.08)
9. Kadish Must Pay for Being a Traitor.
Mr. Know-It-All ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (04.24.08)
Kadish was not an Israeli caught spying in the US, he was a US citizen who betrayed his country and his Oath of Enlistment in the US military, and for that alone the traitor will spend the rest of his life rotting in jail.
10. What about MI6?
Frank ,   Canada   (04.24.08)
MI6 started the 1st intifida in Gaza. Were they acting alone or on behalf of some other countries?
11. Why Now?
JDEdelman ,   Chicago, IL USA   (04.24.08)
What just doesn't fit is "why now". Whatever the size of the espionage ring (if any), and whatever Ben-Ami did (or didn't do...), why is he being prosecuted NOW? Did something just happen that made his prosecution possible or feasible? Or is there some other motivation? If anyone has thoughts, please provide them.
12. Here in Zio-nazi land, we have no friends
Bemona Dimona ,   Zion, ZioNazistan   (04.24.08)
and biting that hand that feeds you is kosher.
13. "Sleeper Cells"....
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (04.24.08)
Yes America, be wary of those "Sleeper Cells" who keep their dentures in a glass on the bed stand at night. Does everyone understand, as yet, that this is a US State Department smokescreen to keep the Jews frightened so they don't protest what Bush is about to do to Israel for oil? Or, are we remaining clueless?
14. Bet he never gets convicted
Mordechai   (04.24.08)
So what evidence did the Us government find now to lead them to a 25 year old case. Something sounds very fishy. Time for American Jews to come home. America doesn't want you. If this is how Bush sees Jews imagine and out and out Jewish hater like Barak Hussein Obama as presedent American Jews better get ready for their new tatoos.
15. No indication Kadish did any harm to US
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (04.24.08)
So far, I see no indication that Kadish harmed, or intended to harm, the US. And one man hardly makes a "cell". On the other hand, there are likely dozens of Islamic cells and Chinese agents active right now in the US, and every one of them intends the US harm. I don't see the FBI breaking a sweat to get them. Heck, the FBI is *recruiting* Muslims on a known Islamic web site! As to DiGenova, I have yet to hear him admit that the real damage he attributed to Pollard was actually the work of Ames and Hanssen.
16. How much of info. was sold to China, how much it'll hurt US?
Abe ,   USA   (04.24.08)
17. The final straw
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (04.24.08)
DiGenova is nothing but an anti-Israel and antisemitic hack and shyster as well as a doublecrosser without conscience. However, his disgusting tactics are nothing compared to the people who are after Israel now. First, they arrest the former AIPAC worker on trumped -up charges. He'll be let go but will be financially ruined. But that wasn't enough. Now they go after an 85 year old man. Way to go government. Waste your time trying to get the Jews and allow 9-11 to happen.
18. SPY !
Bond ,   US   (04.24.08)
Wasn't the US caught spying on France a couple years ago ?? Israel is not the enemy of the US . All nations spy on each other. This timing is very odd - what is it really about ? Also odd one person has access to nuclear, jet, and airframe info. Even more odd he did not have a miniature camera instead of signing out to take material home leaving such a huge trail.. and NOW he is "caught" - 25 years later .... this is very odd indeed .
19. the 5th column keeps getting longer..
Seth ,   Oklahoma, Ok   (04.24.08)
20. Don't you have some CIA agents to endanger?
US taxpayer ,   I want my $ back   (04.24.08)
Or do you just leave that to your wife? Go have an orgy with the skeletons in your closet, and leave the rest of us alone. By the way, Weinberger's colon called: it doesn't need your head anymore.
21. To #3
Greg ,   USA   (04.24.08)
Yes! He is sleeping in his rocking chair.....
22. THIS PROCSECUTOR WORKS FOR ARAB LOBBYING
(04.24.08)
23. The US sells the best weapons to the Arabs,
JMK ,   NYC   (04.24.08)
and threatens Israels own supplies, the US embargoed Israel in the War for Independence, the US threatened Israel to withdraw in the Sinai War of 1956, the US did nothing for Israel and spied on and threatened Israel not to strike before the Six Day War, the US did nothing when it was obligated to during the War of Attrition 1970,1971, the US threatened Israel not to attack before the Yom Kippur War, and let Israel bleed 5000 dead before sending in supplies, the US has constantly prevented Israel from protecting itself, from finishing the Arabs off. The US forced Israel to give back Sinai, is forcing Israel to give back the West Bank, forced Israel to give back Gaza, and have free elections that elected Hamas. It is the US that made Ararfat a billionaire, that rescued him from his exile, saved him and the PLO from defeat in Lebanon, why do you think the Marines who were killed were there protecting, The US did nothing and everyhing to make sure six million Jews died in Europe and could not emigrate anywhere, not the middle east, not north america, not south america, not any english colony, no where, Israel lives because Israel fights and wins wars and still has to fights as no people has ever fought because the US has intervened on behalf of the Arabs, because of their numerical superiority and oil wealth and nobody gives a damn about a few million Jews.
24. spies:let's do the same....
michel ,   paris   (04.24.08)
let's take two of the many american spies in Israel and exchange them for our people.US are not saints and harm Israel much more than never Israel will do to them. We must not stay in the role of been accused by the same that are trying to pressure us in such a dishonest way.
25. "Israel lied" is no longer news and is a waste of space.
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (04.24.08)
If the day ever comes when Israel owns up to something then you cound justify banner headlines : Extra, Extra! Read all abaht it!! "Israel tells the Truth" Special edition!
26. DiGenova, one of the world's worst scoundrels
Sidney ,   USA   (04.24.08)
Why would an Israeli newspaper give any credence to this man? He tricked Pollard out of a fair trial and then made a career out of it.
27. The tide of Antisemitism
Brod ,   USA   (04.24.08)
What do you expect from a Papist Antisemite? They were taught by their Church Fathers to hate and persecute Jews since the 4th century. This is history. Read "In Defense of Israel" by John Hagee, PhD, "From Sabbath to Sunday" by Samuele Bacchiocchi, PhD, "The Papacy" by J. A. Wylie and "Romanism and the Reformation" by H. Grattan Guinness.
28. Spy in US, Hero in Isreal
J. West ,   BC, Canada   (04.24.08)
Spy in US, Hero in Isreal. USA needs to stop all aid to Isreal. Let them fight wars on own. NO MORE HELP OR MONEY FOR TRAITORS.
29. Pollard And This Spy Should Both Be Hanged
World Citzen ,   the world   (04.24.08)
and their bodies left swinging in the wind as a notice to all of the Jewish spies still in America. Only Chandra Levi got what was coming to her for spying for Israel.
30. For #29--It's a shame that they don't execute.....
(04.25.08)
bigots. If they did, the ignorant cretin who calls itself world citizen would be swinging from the gallows. Most of the writers who hate Israel try to hide their virulent hatred of Jews. World citizen is different. He proudly shows himself to be a Jew-hater.
