She could have caused enormous damage to Israel's security,with her dumb and seditious act,she is playing dumb now that she has been caught out......Show her no sympathy,she deserves none.

she's lying her a** off. As a young female, she'll get off with some silly symbolic punishment (probation + fine) because we're all so very humanistic these days. Just a couple of miles in any direction from Israel's border she would face a firing squad for what she did. Israel's yearning for international acceptance and moral bonus will be its undoing. The threat by terror and hostile muslim countries is NOT decreasing. Brainwashed infatile left radicals are more dangerous than suicide bombers

she could prove that the IDF was making mistakes and needed to broadcast it to the people. Darling, all armies make mistakes - that's why we are human. Who made you judge and jury to decide what information was good for the nation to know ? So now, learn from your mistakes and get punished for it - because this is way beyond a "stupid" mistake.

Kam is a intelligent girl. 23 years old is not very small age and I think that she had enough brain and experience to understand the seriousness of the crime she is doing. Even a minor is held accountable of murder charges after the age of 12. Even I am a part of Israeli public and I do not want to know all these failures details. Even in the wars that we won, we had certain failures and always there will be something to learn from our mistakes. I completely trust our IDF. All Kam did is by exposing these documents, she endangered us. I can not understand or forgive her crime.

Ms. Kam is a traitor, and should go to the gallows. She can die as "heroic" a death as she can possibly muster, dangling at the end of a rope. She is a complete imbecile. Best take her out of the gene pool.

They are both traitors! It is not important why she did it, she was and is a grown up and she decided that she new better, that her thoughts were more important that Israel's security. She and Blau (who is even more guilty) should be tried for high treason and send to jail. Haaretz is the third leg of the stool!

Was invented or greatly accentuated by her lawyers, I bet. "Play the stupid adolescent girl card", they must have told her, "if you play this card well, and the media buys into this act and plays along, the public opinion would be quick to hug and forgive you."

Please! She is a traitor and the word hero should not be in the same sentence as her name. People are hanged for less than what she did! I am fed up with posh sentences. Make her do hard time--real hard time for betraying our country and the IDF

impress" ? He was footing the Uri Blau's bill in London,where secret IDF documents were passed to MI6-and to arabs

extreme. Her "story" is too good. She plays the "innocent girl who really didn't understand the implications of what she was doing but thought it in some way was 'cool' and then she could impress a 'big time' journalist." In short, she explains that she was a girl without much going for herself and this is her 'psychological' excuse for becoming a true hazard to her country, a traitor. So, since she had no ideological reasons for theft, the Court should go easy on her. And, furthermore, she appears very adept at bridging the contradictions in her testimony vis a vis her first replies to the Shin Bet. Somehow, I think she is playing us (the Israeli public) a second time.

If terrorists and child murderers who get paid in jail can't be executed Ms Kam is safe and will get lots of fan mail.

Anat Kam is the female Dathan of our time. She engages in acts that are harmful and destructive to the security of Israel and the Jewish people, so she can be a hero in the eyes of non-Jews in the west and around the world. What an idiot. She is filth. At a time when the enemies of Israel are screaming at the top of their lungs for the COMPLETE ANNIHILATION of Israel and the Jewish people, she openly becomes the chief Jewish overseer for the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas. She is surely the female Dathan of our time and G-d will deal with her sooner or later.

Kam and Blau are your typical little people, little israelis, the new low grade elite that is preparing to become the leadership of israel...the shtetel mentality has not gone from these people, parochial idiots pretending to be clever. sad day for israel. time for a new Alyah of western educated jews to revitalize the country.

leftist mentality and traitorous behavior.

If Kam had only stolen documents about alleged illegal activity, perhaps she deserved some sympathy, but she also stole operational secrets and sold them Uri Blau. The fact is that she was given access to the information proves she was smart enough to understand the importance of the information she sold Blau: hundreds of dead IDF soldiers (and worse) in the next war. For lesser crimes, homosexual activist Bradley Manning was tortured by the Obama administration. In Israel, Kam hasn't been in jail and the judge is clearly sympathetic. Soon she will be free and get a lucrative job in some NGO. Compare Kam's treatment to Har-Shefi's

and take all the leftists! shame on you !

She knew exactly what she was doing it wasn't an act of stupidity. She was an idealist who didn't like the way the IDF operated and she didn't give a damn about the country only her left wing ideology. If it was stupidity and she didn't want to hurt the country she wouldn't have given them to Blau especially if she told him to keep her name out of it because she didn't want to get into trouble. Thats not stupid thats calculating and I just hope the judges don't fall for it and they lock for at least as long as Jonathan Pollard is going to spend in jail. If there is any justice she will spend all the best years of her life in solitary. Blau should be given the cell next door because what he did may even have been worse because he was an intelligent reporter and he knew exactly what the documents were and what publishing them would mean. We need to send a message to any potential future Anat Kam's this is what happens to traitors.

Kamm is just a fish wriggling on the hook. At 23 all normal young women have adult brains for some years already and know what they are doing and usually why.

cheap traitor and nothing more to jail with her, that is the only thing that this brainwashed "hero" has deserved.

Her crime is worse, see that she spends the next 25 years in solitary confinement

served probation and thats it. "you are a smart girl. " Offer her tea and cake too. another pompous self righteous lefty avowed orthodox secularist who has no interest in real democracy; only her own opinions.

Sadly I think your right. Despite the fact somebody who is 23 is more than old enough to take full responsibility for their actions and nobody buys her sweet little naive girl routine she will probably get off with a slap on the wrist. After that she will probably be given a job at Haaretz become their new star reporter. Uri Blau, Gideon Levy Anat Kam would fit in very well there earning a very generous salary and then moan about social justice and tell the world how the IDF is made up of Nazis.

You did it, because you could do it - and couldn't withstand your conscience. You still hoped: "they won't know it was me." Sad to see you now broken.

The same people that want her to rot in prison or even dangling at the end of a rope and taken out of the gene pool demand to release Pollard ,...

This girl and Blau need to be sentenced too long prison terms at hard labor.
