The word hero is used very loosely today but Eli Cohen was a real hero. Search for more info about him. Discover what he did for his country and how he must have suffered for it. Regardless of your religion or nationality you have to respect this man!

J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (10.10.11)
ashkenazi offered the Syrian government medicine worth 100 Million dollars,to spare his life,Eli Cohen who was tortured by the syrians must have had irrational thoughts,encouraged by the syrians as who caused his arrest,it is believed that the syrian army declared 1 day radio silence,in order to check new radios,Eli Cohen was not aver of the order,did broadcaast to Israel that night,thats how he was caught.
12. Cohen is a TRUE hero and saves thousands jewish lives

Eli Cohen ZAL
13. Good deeds never go unpunished
atomic jew ,   dimona   (10.10.11)
Yes of course the man did great deal but why he feel being betrayed I think he had some reasons and so many inside and ouside share his concern
14. but how did they know about the broadcast? #11
joe rechtman ,   usa   (10.10.11)
15. # 14 but how did they know ?.
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (10.10.11)
The Syrians noticed that sombody is breaking radio silence, from there it was easy to trace the source of the broadcast, the syrians than forced him to broadcast phony messages,that didn't make any sense,than, they realized in Israel that he was discovered,Eli Cohen ZL was unique.
16. Eli Cohen vs. Noam Shalit
Leon Kwalwasser ,   Santa Monica, USA   (10.11.11)
And the naieve Israelis think they are going to get Noam Shalit back.. ...JLK, Santa Monica, CA.
17. You don't just notice a thing like that
joe rechtman ,   usa   (10.11.11)
the broadcast is used because it is mixed with all the other ones and cannot be detected as spy. How did they know to impose radio silence to catch him...?
18. # 17 radio silence
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (10.11.11)
The syrians imposed radio silence,not in order to find spies but to test new radio equipment ,or some other reason,maybe the syrians someday will tell what really happened.
19. #6 - Really?
Yehudah ,   USA   (10.11.11)

According to the news-very good chance.Learn how to spell.
22. to 16
(10.12.11)
shalit is not a spy he is a soldier i think his character would not help him to be a spy but a soldier as a spy would know while he is captive he will die or be i prison for the whole life but a captive soldier must be freed in exchange it is -must- and shalite deserve to be free
23. Agree with #3 Spies can never be heroes
Mike S ,   Phoenix, USA   (10.12.11)
It's against their profession nature...
24. # 10 - Spies are Heros ???
Chocko ,   Ny, USA   (10.12.11)
Maybe I was wrong, But I thought Spies Spied on the enemy... If thats the case, Why are you Spying on a country that supplies you with $4 Billion of 'Aid' every year...... Maybe you want to know if we could supply more..... So dont be so offended Eli, particularly when there is a question that you try to avoid. One day, this country will wake up... One day.
25. #3 Patrick Henry is a hero !
BENJABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.12.11)
You, on the other hand, will merely be a turd, no matter what subject is under discussion Pollard is in jail because Casper Weinberger, an apostate, wanted him kept there to rot & Joe Biden, although Obama was ready to release him, said it would be "Over Biden's Dead Body" tata my m'tum tam
26. #16 Leon - if you're going to write
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.12.11)
At the very least get the names correct Noam Shalit is the FATHER who resides in Israel Now awaiting the return of his "SON", GILAD SHALIT, which has already been arranged in coming exchange of prisoners It's all over the news, try reading some
27. #23 Nathan Hale
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.12.11)
How much did you say he was being paid ? He's an American National Hero Francis Gary Powers, shot down over Russia, how about him ?
28. he believed he was double-crossed by his associates
observer ,   Egypt   (10.13.11)
Eli was jailed in Egypt for his sayanic cooperation in the Suzanah op (Lavon conspiracy) targeting the American cultural centers in Cairo and Alexandria. He was released in good well gesture to the Jews; Egypt was then holding the belief that "not all Jews are Zionists" Later, in spite of Egyptian kind generosity, he cam back to Egypt with more conspiracies. Failed to achieve terror gains, was recruited in Syria. During the era of Union between Egypt & Syria Eli's Egyptian jail guard officer was in a mission in Syria. The Egyptian officer easily recognized Eli and informed the Syrians. Egypt hold that secret because Syrian intelligence at that time was an institution of the Egypt-Syria Union and Egypt wanted boast "its" institution in Syria. Hence, Egypt propagated the lie that Eli was caught IN ACTION by routine radio surveillance patrol in Damascus. Now, Israelis can say they were the ones who sent the Egyptian officer in his official visit to Syria!!
29. Lol, Israel's education system is falling apart
observer ,   Egypt   (10.13.11)
how you till your kids know the contrary to their curriculum: "their spy heroes are bunch of betrayal associates". Will you till the kids in their study picnic: "enter former Syrian bunkers and learn how master spy, Eli Cohen, revealed their secrets. Take your torches with you to discover any sentence signed by Cohen carved into the bunkers' walls."
30. #4 atomic jew has not been to a kibbutz
observer ,   Egypt   (10.13.11)
the kibbutzniks were so racist, the teachers in the kibbutz even taught the children not to have too much to do with the people they used to call Mizrahim.
