THIS BLOWS ME AWAY ‘US feeds Israel Intel on Gaza targets’ Newly-released top secret documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal that the US government is directly enabling Israel’s military assaults on Gaza by sharing intelligence on “Palestinian targets” with Israeli spy services. The US National Security Agency maintains a far-reaching technical and analytic relationship with the Israeli SIGINT National Unit (ISNU) sharing information on access, intercept, targeting, language, analysis and reporting, according to the documents dated April 13, 2013 and published on Monday by The Intercept. “Over the last decade, the NSA has significantly increased the surveillance assistance it provides to its Israeli counterpart, the Israeli SIGINT National Unit (ISNU; also known as Unit 8200), including data used to monitor and target Palestinians,” writes Glenn Greenwald, editor of The Intercept and confidante of Snowden. In many cases, British and Canadian intelligence services also cooperate with the NSA and ISNU, according to the documents. The American and British spy agencies rely on US-supported Arab regimes to provide “vital spying services regarding Palestinian targets,” writes Greenwald. The intelligence relationship between the NSA and ISNU has prompted an expansion of spying cooperation between other US and Israeli spy services including the CIA, Mossad and Special Operation Division (SOD), the documents revealed.
