This article from Forward points out that many Jews are employed by U.S. clandestine agencies. If you are not familiar with what clandestine agencies do, that might be because they don't tell you what they do.
They do their planning and execution in secrecy. The 9/11 false flag attacks would be their most famous accomplishment.

The article:
While many in the Jewish community are celebrating the upcoming release of convicted spy Jonathan Pollard, some are still reflecting bitterly on his case.

For many in sensitive government security positions, and for those working as defense contractors, Pollards espionage for Israel represents not only a moral lapse, but also a practical problem they still need to address when seeking the governments trust.

I cant help but believe that what Pollard did had a huge impact on how security clearance decisions are made, said David H. Shapiro, a Washington lawyer who represents civilians denied clearance needed for their work with government defense agencies. In his latest case, the security agency reviewing clearances listed Pollards espionage acts as further proof that American Jews have been spying for Israel.

Pollards arrest, three decades ago, marked a watershed moment for many American Jews making their way up the government security establishment ladder. The impact was felt mainly by lower-level contractors seeking clearance to work on defense projects. For others, the case was seen mainly as a source of shame. Making matters worse was the warm embrace Pollard received from Israel and from Americas organized Jewish community.

When you champion someone like Pollard, it strengthens suspicion against us. Its a threat to our livelihood, said Michael Shurkin, a former government intelligence officer who is now a political scientist at the RAND Corporation. You go to shul in Washington and you see many people with positions in clandestine agencies. We are all grateful for how few problems weve had, and we all fear that the climate might change because of people like Pollard.

The prison parole boards July 28 decision will set Pollard free November 21, when he completes 30 years of his life sentence. Pollard, who was a Navy intelligence officer, was caught stealing secret documents and giving them to his Israeli operators. While in prison he was granted Israeli citizenship, and consecutive Israeli governments have called for his release. The American Jewish community also joined the call and, more recently, highlighted his lengthy prison time as reason for an early release.

The Pollard case instantly fed into an already existing suspicion some in the defense establishment and the intelligence services held toward American Jews. And for the first time, it was a clear-cut, undisputed case of spying, not a rumor circulating in anti-Semitic circles.

American Jews in government positions that required security clearance faced questions about Pollard routinely. I was asked about it once in a security clearance interview. I didnt appreciate it, Shurkin recalled. You cant help but feel threatened by it and discouraged. There are many Jews in the clandestine agencies, but for some of us there is also this awareness that you cant take this trust for granted.

Why does it bother you? I support America and Israel...is that a crime? I happen to be a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Navy. If you hate Israel, like payne1000, and several other antiSemites on this site it is because of just plain ignorance. I know a lot about Israel because I have studied that country intensively...and have worked for David Horowitz, who taught me a lot. Most of the garbage these antiSemites on 1PP post is just that garbage...no truth, no facts, only conjecture and opinions.

Being ex-Navy, how can you support Israel when they deliberately attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 Americans and wounding 172?
