Yes, it would bother me if the U.S. spies on our "allies". Is that how you justify Israel stealing our classified defense information? That is insanity.

It does, just like it bothered me when they attacked one of our ships despite being told it was one of ours. As someone else mentioned they probably do pay for the spy with our tax dollars. Would Israel even be able to survive one week without the welfare they get from us, I doubt it.

Israel, because of the fact the rustic that sent Pollard, has a accountability in the direction of him to aim to get him launched, as long as those tries are measured and don't harm family with The U.S. the U. S. government, on the different hand, shouldn't launch Pollard.

wow you mean an allied country is spying on us? OH NO!!!! wait... We are spying on them... ever hear of the USS Liberty? It was a US spy ship the Israelis accidentally (arguably, some claim it was intentional) attacked during the 6 day war. It was sitting right off Israel's coast monitoring their transmissions and communications.
Britain has spies in the US, as does France, China, Russia, and on and on and on... and guess what? we have spies in their countries too.
Welcome to the real world. If you actually took the time to crack open a book and read up on the subject you might learn that this has been going on since the beginning of civilization.
No surprise here.

As another answer pointed out, the United Kingdom and the United states did spy on each other historically, though now have a non spying agreement and never do, ( so they both claim).
The United States has never offered Israel such a formal agreement, should Israel trust the USA, not to spy on her?, ask Angela Mukal !.

Great Britain had a huge spy network in the USA before and during WWII, the main purpose of which was to influence US politicos and power brokers to join the war in Europe.
Does that bother you as much, or is it different with Israel because Jews are involved?

Does it bother you that the US regularly hires people to spy on our own allies, like Great Britain and Canada?

And the US doesn't spy on its allies???
No, it doesn't bother me. It doesn't even bother me that Israel plays radio propaganda in the USA promoting their political agenda. It is smart lobbying.

Does it bother you we probably have a lot of spies working for us in our "ally" countries?

We already spy on our allies, just like they spy on us. It's niave to think otherwise. It's just politically embaressing when it comes out.

Yes! and they probably pay for their salaries with U.S. tax dollars given to them.
