I asked the waiter if I could speak to the manager, dwception I was making a movie and this might be a good site. In the meantime, they kept hitting me. After the bombing, the Hizballah broke off negotiations regarding the hostages they held in Beirut and executed three of them, including one American named Peter Kilburn.
The naval commandos are the equivalent of the American Seals. However, if someone should decide to do so, the Trojan would self-destruct, taking with it most of the upper part of the building. And then there was Jimmy Carterwhose whole administration was regarded as a big mistake as far as Israel was concerned, a mistake that had cost Israel the whole of the Sinai in return for a lukewarm peace with Egypt.
While both Magal and Meshad were assassinated by the Mossad, of course the internal machinations leading up to their deaths were dramatically different.
They communicate directly to Tel Aviv headquarters either by telephone, telex, or computer modem. Jan 30, Nayden Kostov rated it really liked it. It was one of the first insights in this secret world. Full of details, relatively interesting read. This is my third book on Mossad, and the whole point of picking it up was to have an alternate view on the agency and how it operates because the other two read like James Bond version of the daring operations.
However, the writing was so flat that my interest in the book got lower by the chapter to a point where I just wanted to be done with it.
Jun 19, Jith rated it really liked it Shelves: covert-action , israel. A very interesting, if a little scattershot, detailed and disturbing account of Mossad training and operations. Not least, like U. In a sense, A very interesting, if a little scattershot, detailed and disturbing account of Mossad training and operations.
Just, it is hidden and therefore protected. At this point in history, though, it is only hidden by propaganda narratives, in plain sight. I was also not surprised to hear of the importance of front companies, global networks of volunteers, illegal drugs and arms trading for illicit income, and how, since the 70s, Mossad are a for-hire special forces e.
And, again, sales agents for Israeli arms. None of this separates Mossad from the US agencies activities, just their way of doing it seems proportionally more corrupt and improvised, as befits a much smaller agency bordered by enemies. For example, Ostrovsky claims Mossad knew in advance of the Beirut truck bombings of US marine barracks, which killed U. Surely there's a way to warn without doing this?
Another surprise of sorts is how he lived to tell the tale. There's a maxim of a "limited hangout" that intelligence services mostly only let you know what they want you to know, which means there are probably even worse things that remain hidden. The Epstein ring, for example?! Pays better than flipping falafel.
And talking of sexual I'm not a prude, but somehow this decadence reeks of a tribal moral vacuum The book reminded me of, and he reflects similarly, the idea that the militant supremacist state of Israel, and all of its crimes, is an inherited trauma of war and persecution itself; the cycle of violence. Did you know that trauma is inherited epigenetically? Intense experiences change our DNA and bodies and we pass it on; we carry the past and must understand it to understand ourselves.
Anyone who talks of superiority, of making a certain group "great again," needs to understand that this immorality and violence of Mossad, of tribalistic superiority and violence, is the end result of that worldview. Come together or blow each-other apart. Without universal humanism, the potential to respect the "other" as "us" - the other is dehumanized and we perpetuate the traumas and atrocities, and we remain cheap pawns in oligarch war games. And so Separate corporation from State? Jan 12, Petre rated it it was amazing.
Im not going to lie and say I enjoyed this book and that I understood it from front to back. I am not familiar with the affairs of the middle east, I only know the basic societal position, that is, Arabs and Israelis fight, from a Christians perspective, they fight over the promised land, a fight that began with Cain and Abel. This book does not follow that theme but rather it is an exposition of the Mossad.
It did not feel like Victor was expressing his personal opinion of the institute but rat Im not going to lie and say I enjoyed this book and that I understood it from front to back. It did not feel like Victor was expressing his personal opinion of the institute but rather simply retelling a series of inside events, which will allow the reader to design there own personal opinion of the Mossad.
I would think that the Mossad is most likely the front piece of Israel, a specific institute extracted from the heart of its own society. As it seems Victor tells us that the Mossad has no virtuous aspects what so ever but is rather intent on accomplishing its goals through, lies, fakery, fraudulence, murder and sheer malevolence.
Like any corrupt corporation, when it is not exercising its despotic power, it condones fornication, drugs and tax fraud. I never knew much about the Mossad, only that they are cunning, now as it seems, I have an idea of how cunning. Thank you Victor. Short, good and bad. Short: If you want to read better story of behind the scenes of intelligence operations, read Aquarium by Viktor Suvorov. Main difference being that here he was simply dismissed, while in GRU recruitment starts with film of being cremated alive - to show you only way out of the organization.
Bad: Part after defection reads like yellow press. Also - we are talking about spies. Nobody should be shocked that they sometimes kill people, blow things up, steal intel, bribe someone etc. Of course, in perfect world there wouldn't be any spies, burglars, drugs and rainy days when you don't want them, but since we don't live in a perfect world - it's kind of silly to act surprised that these things happen.
Besides being both about spies and spying, the books are more closely aligned as they purport to be whistleblower documents; a sort of act of civil disobedience to protest intelligence agency overreach. However both now -- and more Not the judgment of film critics but the passage of time will decide whether Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9 11 can change the world.
Change, of course, is the whole purpose. By Way of Deception stormfront org By way of deception thou shalt do war The motto of Israel's spy agency, Mossad, is, according to recently defected Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky: " By way of deception thou shalt do war.

As it happened, a stray bomb hit the French embassy in Tripoli during the raid.
