NSA has close partnership with Israel
Mon Aug 4, 2014 10:5AM
New documents show a “far-reaching” collaboration between the US
National Security Agency and Israeli intelligence services most of which
was directed against Palestine.
The NSA "maintains a far-reaching technical and analytic relationship
with the Israeli SIGINT National Unit (ISNU) sharing information on
access, intercept, targeting, language, analysis and reporting,"
according to an NSA document dated April 13, 2013, which is among other
documents revealed by The Intercept on Monday.
The documents show the US has provided Israel with cash, raw data and
analysis under agreements reached between the NSA and Israeli SIGINT
National Unit also known as Unit 8200, the secretive signals
intelligence organization.
The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald wrote that the documents "underscore the
indispensable, direct involvement of the US government and its key
allies in Israeli aggression against its neighbors. That covert support
is squarely at odds with the posture of helpless detachment typically
adopted by Obama officials and their supporters."
The documents also show Unit 8200 along with the US, Britain and Canada
attempt to collect signals from throughout the Middle East.
In 2003 and 2004, the US explored a "massively expanded
intelligence-sharing relationship called 'Gladiator.'" But the Israelis
demanded hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for the project,
which "appears never to have been consummated," one document shows.
The documents, however, revealed receipts for cash payments to Israel
worth $500,000; though it is not clear if the receipts represent one or
multiple payments, and that their precise purpose is undocumented. ...

The $500,000 must be the 'petty cash' of the spy world.
The other stuff can't be that surprising.
Everyone's in the
five eye or whatever it is, so of course they're spying and sharing intelligence.
