Seeking to get out of a personal rut or a change in life-style? Perhaps a new career or profession? The Mossad may have a lot to offer.
Israeli media are reporting that new Mossad director Tamir Pardo is seeking a new wave of agency recruits. They must be willing to make frequent, short trips abroad (to places like Dubai, Istanbul and Teheran?). Creativity and willingness to give one’s all as an emissary of the nation is a definite plus. Oh, and you have to be willing to learn everything there is about the black arts of assassination and kidnapping, as you’ll be serving in the secret ops unit known as Kidon (“Bayonet”). Apparently, Mossad is receiving tremendous kudos for its stellar service in murdering al-Mabouh, Iranian scientists and kidnapping Iranian generals, all on foreign soil. So it seeks to do more of the same.
Here are some of the requirements for the job: you have to like major projects which demand “creativity” and readiness to think outside the box, master foreign languages, and have an ability to “create one’s own reality and play a central role in it.” Valerie Plame or Tzipi Livni, anyone? But at least they didn’t kill anyone (as far as we know).
Oh suuure, I’ll be a Mossad agent and go easily into Iran…
FOR 3 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR -FLAT- (payment in advance and diverted from the US treasury to ME)

But until then, Mossad doesn’t really have a reach in Iran. Dubai, an international city of tourists, was a much safer playground. Iran’s counterintelligence was basically a primary and fundamental mandate of the country for decades. The only people who really can get in are genuine, true blood Iranians for all the reasons that it’s likely there are no Iranian agents in Israel. Saudi Arabia? Probably had some back-end assistance from the House of Saud. Maybe not. Either way, it wasn’t in Tehran.
So, Mossad and the Lobby resort to siding with the Mujahedin-e Khalq, a bonafide terror organization that sided with Saddam to kill many Iranians, and are incidentally spearheading this lovely “Save Sakineh” campaign that is patently flawed, but fully endorsed by the Lobby; just like MEK spearheaded the nuclear whistleblowing that allowed Iran to make incredible gains in soft power against Israel for simply following the rules and law, and not backing down when the Lobby demanded it.
If there were a greatest hits record for shooting yourself in the foot, it would be an anthology of the last ten years of the Lobby’s foreign policy. And per the above, they don’t seem to want to change the broken record, but add more tracks.
Funny. Just last week this blog was all a flutter about how the Mossad hit two key scientists connected with their nuclear program.
Now they can’t reach deep into Iran.
Which is it sir?
I don’t know what you’re talking about. This post says nothing of the kind. I don’t mind disagreement but if you make it up as you go along you’re being offensive & violating the comment rules. COmments must be precise, accurate & factual, not distortions, exagerrations or flights of yr imagination.
PA states above that the Mossad can’t rach into Iran.
I don’t know what this comment means. PA?
PA = Persian Advocate
Don’t use initials unless you want no one to be able to understand you.
Valerie Plame is a secret jew!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame
Well THAT’s boring!
And it isn’t even true. Her Jewish ancestor is on the patrilineal side for three generations, so she is not a Jew secretly or otherwise.
Correct Shirin.
Aside from this post being “off topic”, one of Mr. Silversteins’s rules.
Jews define themselves by the mother.
The only people who defined Jews in the manner above were the Nazis.

“Jews define themselves by the mother.
The only other people who defined Jews in the manner above were the Nazis”
Well, the State of Israel is kind of in-between. If my informations are correct, having ONLY a Jewish paternal grandfather is sufficient to benefit from the Right of Return.
Am I wrong on that ?
I found this on http://www.mfa.gov.il
4B. For the purposes of this Law, “Jew” means a person who was born of a Jewish mother or has become converted to Judaism and who is not a member of another religion.”
I’m not interested in the definition of a Jew as defined by the State of Israel. There are more Reform Jews in the world than there are Israeli Jews. Reform Jewry has the consensus position. The State of Israel doesn’t define what is halacha.
Not true. Reform Jews, the largest Jewish denomination in the world, accept patrilineal as well as matrilineal descent.
Would the Mossad take 69-year-old ladies or do they prefer
youngsters?
