Israel spied on Kerry's calls during 2013 peace talks, magazine reports
2014-08-04
[FOXNEWS] Israeli's secret service intercepted Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
's phone calls during 2013 Middle East peace negotiations, according to the German publication Spiegel.
A year ago and they're just reporting it now? Why did their sources choose to share such second hand information at this time?
Intelligence agents from another country also could have overheard Kerry's conversations as he tried to help reach a peace agreement between Israel and the Paleostinians, several sources reportedly told the publication.
Really? Who are these nefarious beings?
The reported allegations are being made during a difficult time between the United States and Israel, with Kerry being accused of favoring Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, in recent negotiations to end a 27-day conflict between Israel and the Paleostinian-backed Islamic terror group.

In addition, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly was upset with the White House recently for trying to force a temporary cease-fire between the sides.

And on Sunday, the State Department issued a statement critical of an Israel missile attack in the Hamas-occupied Gazoo strip that apparently struck a humanitarian facility sheltering 3,000 people displaced from the conflict.

Agency spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the United States was "appalled" by the attack Sunday, which purportedly killing 10 Paleostinian civilians.

"We once again stress that Israel must do more to meet its own standards and avoid civilian casualties," she said.

The agency did not respond to a request to verify the alleged eavesdropping on Kerry.

Kerry reportedly used encrypted and non-secured phone lines during the talks. And the signals were intercepted when being transmitted unencrypted via satellite, the publication reports.
My darling mother-in-law used to amuse herself by listening to portable and cell phone calls on a police scanner she picked up at a garage sale. What she heard confirmed her rather dark view of human nature. If she can do such things, it seems the infamous Israeli high tech was not necessary for the Israelis and unknown others to do the same with regard to our oh-so-clever Secretary of State. But then Der Spiegel is fond of neither the Zionist entity nor the American one.
