Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik spoke before the Israeli Parliament this past Sunday, calling for unrestricted aid to Israel as it continues to level Gaza, something it has desired since 1948. She attacked her own President while addressing the foreign nation, apparently very at ease with committing treason so openly. I can’t imagine a member of the Knesset flying to the United States and abasing himself before our own Congress, and if he did, he’d probably be tried for treason and jailed once he returned home. And rightfully so. This overriding loyalty to a foreign nation should be an immediate disqualification from holding office, and Stefanik should get the boot. But she won’t, because far too many US representatives behave in exactly the same way. It’s pathetic, and it makes one wonder if any of our congressmen are passing along state secrets to Netanyahu’s thug government. To ask the question is to answer it. We know it’s happening.
To fully understand how willing our own government is towards American treason if committed in the service of Israel, one only needs to look at the case of Jonathan Pollard, a Texas-born Jewish CIA analyst who passed along the most sensitive of State Secrets to Israel, who then gave the information to the Soviet Union in exchange for the emigration of Russian Jews to Israel. From a 1999 article in the Guardian, entitled, “US secrets used to buy freedom of Soviet Jews”:
“According to another retired station chief, in 1985, a month after Pollard’s arrest, the CIA director William Casey complained: ‘The Israelis used Pollard to obtain our attack plan against the USSR – all of it. The co-ordinates, the firing locations, the sequences. And for guess who? The Soviets.’ The magazine also reported that intelligence officers claimed that Pollard had also handed over reams of reports sent by US military attaches in the Middle East, identifying informers, and a 10-volume surveillance manual, which was known as ‘the Bible’ because it held detailed information on the radio frequencies being tapped by the US.”
If this isn’t a hanging offense, I don’t know what is. These were secrets stolen by a CIA analyst that made its way to our number one enemy at the height of the Cold War, and yet Pollard was released in 2015 and who received a hero’s welcome when he and his wife moved to Israel in December 2020. Footage of Netanyahu greeting Pollard on the tarmac can be found, where he kisses the ground and it greeted as a returning knight. Pollard lives like a nobleman now in the Jewish State.
Netanyahu even attempted to blackmail then-President Bill Clinton into releasing Pollard while attending the 1998 talks between Israel and Palestine that were being held in Maryland. Israel at the time had wiretapped the White House, and allegedly recorded over 30 hours of sexually explicit phone calls between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, something that Netanyahu made Clinton aware of. Clinton, shaken, made an effort to release Pollard, but was thwarted only by then-CIA director George Tenet, who threatened to resign if Pollard was released.
This is not the behavior of an ally, but clearly of an enemy, and Pollard’s actions were no different than if a Soviet spy had infiltrated our intelligence agencies. Clear treason of the gravest order, actions that placed our entire nation at risk, and the punishment of which should have been execution. Instead, pro-Israel fanatics within our own government pushed incessantly for Pollard’s release.
We still suffer under the constant threat of Americans with an overriding loyalty to a nation that has shown time after time a willingness to put Americans in danger if it serves the state of Israel.
How would it be possible to ever root out this foreign influence when so many Americans appear willing to commit treason? We have serving congressmen with dual-citizenship with Israel, which can only be interpreted as dual loyalty, or even preferential loyalty to Israel if they believe the current administration is insufficiently loyal to the Jewish State. By contrast, Israel does not allow dual citizenship for members of its government. The only conclusion to draw is that we’re being used by a foreign power, and we have too many useful idiots acting on behalf of Israel even if it means selling out their own country.
