To be fair, I haven't seen the usual suspect websites pronouncing all of these events as anti-semitic witch hunts. Anyway, here's a list of recent stories involving Jewish citizens in espionage, arms sales, and robbery.
Via Media Monitors. Israeli Citizen caught smuggling nuclear arms to Pakistan via South Africa.
This very serious federal criminal case, involving potentially a matter of nuclear terrorism, has been filed in the U.S. District Court, in Washington, DC. However, unlike the hysteria over Michael Jackson, Martha Stewart, and the break up of that silly Affleck-Lopez’s relationship, it is getting little or no attention by the Establishment Media. Why? Is it because the defendant is an Israeli citizen, with close connections to its military regime?
This case raises, on its face, profound questions regarding a nuclear Middle East black market, and of a conniving middleman, a la Arnold Rothstein, trying to make a quick buck off a sale, that if successful, could put the entire world at risk. (Rothstein was a notorious NYC gangster, who funded the first organized Drug Cartel in this country, back in the 1920s. He also fixed the 1919 World Series. See, the riveting “Rothstein,” by David Pietrusza, for all the disgusting details.)
And, what meaning, if any, should be attributed to Karni’s long, intimate involvement with the Israeli military? Does he also have Mossad ties? Who is he, really? And, who, if anyone, is he working for? Are other intriguers, in Tel Aviv, involved in this international conspiracy? The American people deserve answers to these questions.
Israeli citizens caught trying to buy fake passports in New Zealand. Later, a third spy was uncovered. He was a former diplomat. Then the Mossad stepped in and tried to quiet things down.
An Israeli newspaper, Sunday Haaretz, claims Mossad asked its New Zealand counterparts to help cover up the matter but Helen Clark prevented that from happening.
Of course when you get caught trying to blow up the Mexican Congress, all you need is a bribe or two to get released.
Israel sent a top official to personally pressure Jorge Gutman, Mexico’s secretary of foreign relations. Ultimately, the two were released from prison and sent back to Israel, according to ACN.
Just a day's work for an Israeli.
the important thing is, somehow, everything relates to pakistan in the end. my country, 'tis of thee... that sort of thing, you know. all the world's problems seem to return to pakistan at least in part, yet so far the country has escaped retaliation. a la iraq.

i'll be the first to admit i don't know much about Pakistan but I think they've played the political game brilliantly since 9/11.

i suppose we're playing a game, but i'm not sure where the goal is, or how one decides one has won. malaysia, on the other hand, there's a muslim country pakiland could do well to emulate...
