New Mossad hit —in Hungary?

CounterVortex

In a possible sequel to the recent Dubai assassination, Israeli spy planes flew “uninvited and unannounced” over Budapest the same day a Syrian man was shot to death in his car in the Hungarian capital, the New York Post reports March 19. Two Israeli air force Gulfstream V-type jets flew more than 1,300 miles over Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania on March 17 before flying over Budapest and then disappearing, Hungarian media reports said.

The incident occurred the same day Budapest police said a 52-year-old Syrian was gunned down while stopping his black luxury car at a traffic light on the east side of the capital. The attacker fired several shots before stealing a black briefcase from the car and fleeing on foot, authorities said. Police have yet to identify the victim or give a motive.

Hungary‘s Defense Minister Imre Szekeres demanded an investigation of the overflights, which the ministry said were made without prior notification from Israel. The Israeli Embassy in Budapest said the planes were on a diplomatic mission, but did not elaborate. “Of course, they were not spy planes,” said Ambassador Alice Bin-Noun.

  1. Brothers in Arms
    I spent many months in the mid east serving as a Force Protection Officer. I have two friends in the Mossad who taught me many tactical ops. I value the relationship America has had with Isreal in the past. However I tried to warn Isrealies about Obama long before he was elected. The first time I ever heard his name was in december 2005 when a Al Qaeda taxi driver in Doha Qatar told me he was going to be president. I know most American citizens are very much with Isreal. The problem we have is trying to get our government back. Those of Jewish faith here in America are supporting Obama and we cannot understand why. This man and his criminal pack in Washington hate Isreal as well as America and Americans. We are just starting to learn how it all went so very wrong. If any one in Isreal would like to start dialogue let me know, there is a chance someone there could shed some light on our struggle.

      Anyway, here’s a taste of your offering from AlterNet:

      Breaking the Taboo on Israel’s Spying Efforts on the United States
      Israel runs one of the most aggressive and damaging espionage networks targeting the U.S., yet public discussion about it is almost nil.

      By Christopher Ketcham

      Scratch a counterintelligence officer in the U.S. government and they’ll tell you that Israel is not a friend to the United States.

      Blah blah blah. Now we’d like to know: Why is Israel the only country in the world about which this kind of rhetoric is acceptable and encouraged in “progressive” circles such as AlterNet? If this kind of rhetoric were emanating about Russia, China, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, etc. etc., it would be dismissed by every “progressive” as paranoid, reactionary, nationalist, jingositic… And AlterNet wouldn’t even consider running it. But when it’s Israel, all of a sudden patriotism becomes a virtue and “counterintelligence officers” become the good guys.

      So once again, we want to know—Why is that?

        1. “Friend to the US”?
          Since when did “progressives” become concerned with whether a country is a “friend to the US”? Is the blood-drenched regime in Colombia a “friend to the US”? Is your problem with oppression of the Palestinians or whether Israel is a loyal US client?

          Once again (since you obviously weren’t paying attention the first time):

          If this kind of rhetoric were emanating about Russia, China, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, etc. etc., it would be dismissed by every “progressive” as paranoid, reactionary, nationalist, jingositic… But when it’s Israel, all of a sudden patriotism becomes a virtue and “counterintelligence officers” become the good guys.
