    Most intelligence workers are white collar nerds. Just because someone works in the CIA doesn't make them a spy. It only makes sense to call them "spies" as a slur - which I respect.

    But we should be as accurate with our words here. Calling her a pro-israeli spy is going to imply some mossad conspiracy when we have clear Cop to Cop collaboration going on.

      This is just complaining about semantics. "Spy" and "intelligence workers" are essentially synonymous, and they all get the wall.

        Semantics matter because, "Israeli spy" or "pro israel spy" is essentially synonymous with Mossad. Now she could easily be Mossad but you better actually make that claim if you're gonna call her a spy.

        The only source is this tweet with like 40likes and no supporting evidence from some dude with a reference to healthy lifestyle, exercise in their bio.

        All I'm saying is we should take a healthy level of skepticism.

          Does she actually work at the NYPD for counterterrorism? If so that pretty much wraps it up considering the NYPD have an office in Tel Aviv and run counterterrorist operations.

            Id forgotten nypd have ties to israel, this still feels more indicative of the nypd as a whole than anything to do with the individual

            the tweet reads more like it implies a direct connection with mossad

              If you’re running counterterrorism in Tel Aviv you are most likely working with mossad.

      Merriam Webster defines spy as this:

      a person employed by one nation to secretly convey classified information of strategic importance to another nation

      I think that fits.

            Who are the targets and who is receiving the info then? Because it sounds like youre accusing her of being Mossad, but then I'll redirect you to the start of the thread: https://hexbear.net/comment/4880137

              Palestinians in Palestine and in the US.

              What do you think, "counter-terrorism" means in Israel, where she works?

                Youre making more and more abstract arguments and getting further and further from the concrete topic at hand.

                What do you think, "counter-terrorism" means in Israel, where she works?

                Being the most genocidal cops on the planet. At that point making stretches to smear them spies is FUD.

                  I answered your question and pointed out how you're being silly.

                  I give up on this conversation.
