Strictly intuitively I feel that Richard-Rafael is quite right. The open day speculative feast on a case which is known perhaps only to a 1% degree by all those anxious to put in their hafpenny wisdom, but extatic about having a go at the Yids, has offred so far next to nothing about the poor bugger Ben and, respectively the same gurnischt about what and how Israel acts on any matters confidential.
To this extent even the reaction of the local Jewish communal heads can be seen as unsatisfactory to those who would love to find out more. Fact is that , although leaders of the Aust. Jewish community, there is no reason why Mossad, ShinBet or any othergov. instrumentality in Israel should keep abreast their distant cousins wth stuff that they are NOT entitled to know. As such for the 1st time I am applauding the (necessary ) ignorance of the same important groisse machers.

Presumably they will be equally forebearing if an Australian Iranian was working for the Revolutionary Guards.

As someone with some experience (many years ago) of Intelligence Organizations – including Israel’s – I can assure your readers that the (quote) “media commentators” are completely wrong. These ‘would bes if they could bes’ have no idea of the recruiting processes of (most all) intelligence agencies. Organizations such as the Institute (MOSSAD) have very strict guidelines on recruiting and assessment. We may never know why Zygier was incarcerated but I can assure you that Intelligence Agencies, including MOSSAD and Shin Bet, come under the most rigerous scrutiny by parlimentary and judicial committees, set up specifically to ‘watch the watchers’.

Don’t you think you should contact the “media commentators ” concerned. The “totally uninformed and mischievous” person in question just happens to be a Muslim.

No offence intended to J-Wire, but posting such a ‘cute little item’ here Philip, it won’t be read by those involved.

This is beyond ridiculous and needs to be dealt with. The feeling in the Community is that we need to make a stand and stop hiding.
