6- The Israelis look like us, or maybe I should say, we do look like them. Many of them were Arab Jews from Tunisia, Morocco, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, even Ethiopia and Sudan. The Americans look very different from the Arabs. You know that already. Many Muslims and Arab people, men and women were arrested and detained in America because they looked like Arabs; they have become the usual suspects because they look like Middle Easterners.
7- The Israelis are very careful and very cautious. They don’t trust the Americans, the CIA or anybody else. And most certainly, they do not trust Bush, The White House, The Pentagon and this carnival of one million intelligence agencies in the United States. The Americans heavily rely on information provided by outsiders, free-lance spies and what other foreign embassies tell them. The Israelis don’t.
8- The Israelis do their own homework. They check everything and spy on everybody. They travel all over the world and disguise themselves very well. And because they speak so many foreign languages, they easily blend with many different peoples from many different countries in the world. People who work for the Israeli intelligence speak French, English, Arabic, Italian, Russian, Spanish, German, so many languages. And when they are in Europe, in America, in Arab countries and Spanish countries, they look exactly like Europeans, Americans, Arabs, French and Spanish people. Americans don’t. I can spot an American spy at 10 kilometers but not an Israeli spy! Impossible! Very few Americans speak foreign languages. And if they do, they have an awful and uncultivated thick American accent. Israelis don’t. The Israelis speak French like the French, the Americans speak French with a John Wayne accent or Mae West style. So, it is so easy to recognize an American citizen or an American secret agent. The Israelis speak Arabic like Arabs. The Americans, I mean the very few Americans who speak Arabic, massacre the Arabic language. Something else, the Americans are not discreet, they talk too much. The Israelis don’t.
9- Massad and Israeli spies are more intelligent than the American spies and CIA people. Israelis can think like an Arab, an Egyptian, a Palestinian, an Omani, a Lebanese. Americans don’t. Americans are limited in the way they think, see and analyze things. They see the world from a very close American point of view.
10- Israelis in general and Israeli spies in particular are international and universal in the way they adapt to new environments. Americans remain Americans wherever they go. It so easy to recognize them. We used to look at many tourists and watch Europeans and non-Europeans sitting inside and outside French and German cafes, trying to figure out who is an American and who is not. Who is a Frenchman and who is not. Who is a Muslim and who is not. It was very difficult to do so. But, as soon as an American walks into a café, we recognize him on the spot. Try to spot an Israeli agent in an European café. It is almost impossible .
11- The Americans brag a lot about their military operations, the successes of their spies rings and “spectacular” accomplishments. The Israelis don’t.
12- The American intelligence agencies constantly recruit (When they can) or at least try to recruit foreigners who are not always reliable and knowledgeable of facts and events. The Israelis don’t.
13- The American intelligence network(s) are disorganized and chaotic. There are so many spying agencies, counter-espionage agencies, national securities agencies, national security groups and so on. Thank God, they do not coordinate things and share information. And as you know very well, they hate and distrust each other. The Israelis don’t.
14- The Americans in general are very materialistic and vain. Those Americans who join the CIA or the FBI, even the police in America are not always motivated by a sense or feeling of patriotism. Many of them do it because they are hungry for power. They love to flash their badges and intimidate people. And if they get a better job offer, they quit in a heart beat. They go where the buck is. This is why, we see so many FORMER CIA and FBI agents every single night on the American television, as analysts, anti-terrorism experts, consultants and advisors. They quit their agencies to create their own private business. Such thing rarely happened in Israel, except for a few Israeli airlines safety and security experts who came to America to work as consultants. Israelis who join Israel’s secret service are not motivated by financial gain or hunger for power. They do it because they want to serve, just like us, the Arab freedom fighters.
