Mossad: Prime Minister
built 656 days ago
Established on April 1, 1951, the Mossad is the most important of the five Israeli intelligence organizations. It deals with intelligence gathering, counter-terrorism and covert operations in foreign countries. Its director reports directly to the Israeli prime minister and heads a committee that administers the entire Israeli intelligence infrastructure. One of the Mossad's most famous operations was the kidnapping and extradition from Argentina to Israel of Nazi war criminal, Adolf Eichmann in 1960.

[W]henever there is talk of peace in Sri Lanka, Mossad commits a false flag operation to trigger the violence again... sustaining the arms trade. For example, in 2005, Sri Lankan foreign minister Lakshman Kadirgamar, a Tamil Christian, was bringing peace to Sri Lanka. Therefore on 12 August 2005 he was shot dead as he climbed out of the swimming pool at his luxury home. SP Thamilselvan, leader of the Tamil Tigers’ political wing, denied that the Tigers were involved, which was probably true, since the Tamils always claim responsibility when a killing favors them.

In the United States, Mossad has not only avoided spying on American targets, but has ... refrained from operations against third parties, mainly Arab installations. Nevertheless, Nahum Admoni, the Mossad chief during the '80s, must have known that Lakam was running Pollard. So must have Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Shamir and Shimon Peres and Defense Ministers Moshe Arens and Yitzhak Rabin.

In May 2002, Mossad carried out the assassination of Mohammed Jihad Jibril, the son of Ahmed Jibril, the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command. Israeli Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer commented cynically at the time, Not everything that blows up in Beirut has a connection with the State of Israel.

The head of the Mossad, whose identity was for many years kept secret, was directly responsible to the prime minister and served as chairman of the coordinating committee of all heads of Israel's intelligence services. In 1952, Shiloah was replaced by Isser Harel, until then the head of the Shin Bet, who went on to serve as director of the Mossad for more than a decade.

"This is the first time that the Mossad has officially used the term 'Mossad,'" Tal-Shir points out, "and it was a strategic decision. There was always this convention that it was preferable not to use that term, but to refer to themselves as working 'out of the Prime Minister's Office,' or something like that. to be attractive, they had to stop ignoring the term 'Mossad.'"
