Spies

No, I am not going to crow over the snubbing of Netanyahoo (mis-spelling intended!). It was only what he deserved after decades of snubbing Pelestinians. But I hope Obama will stand his ground. The last U.S. president to stand up to the Israelis was George H Bush, and look where that got him!

What was intersting was that it came the same day that Britain announced the expulsion of an Israeli diplomat over the use by Mossad of forged British passports. How many other fake documents are out there, with the attendant risk to their true holders?

And this is only the tip of the iceberg. Espionage and subversion must be just about the only industry that has grown steadily through all the recessions of the last eighty years.
