    You’re leaning into some Protocols of the Elders of Zion type shit

          Most spies are just white collar nerds that work in an office building and move money and information around to the worst people on the planet.

          This person is at least spy-adjascent as they work with intelligence.

            I understand why you have that mental association but its wrong in this case. Cops also do intelligence and counter terrorism. So does the army. Doesnt make them spies unless they do espionage.

              But it literally does? What exactly do you think espionage looks like in the 21st century? Yes you have field agents who are out collecting information inside embassies and stuff, but most of it is done through channels exactly like what this lady is doing. When the cops tap your phone to collect intelligence and then give that information to the CIA does that not count as spying because cops are bumbling idiots and not James Bond? This lady worked with the IDF and any information they gathered can be assumed to be given to Mossad if it was important enough.

              Edit: I also just remembered the NYPD has an office in Tel Aviv that run counterterrorism projects.

          That’s exactly what spies do. You don’t need to meet someone on a park bench and exchange briefcases anymore. Some spies actually go to other nations and stuff, but most of them are like this lady pretty much.
