Persistent Activity: Despite the U.S. demand, multiple Israeli officials told Newsweek that intelligence gathering continues. They claim it's a long-standing practice and vital for Israel’s national security.
Strategic Importance: Israeli officials argue that monitoring the U.S. is necessary to understand potential threats from Iran and other adversaries. They see the U.S. as a crucial intelligence source.
“Habitual” Practice: The article quotes sources describing the spying as a “habitual” practice, suggesting it's deeply ingrained in Israel's intelligence apparatus.
Biden Administration’s Concerns: The Biden administration is reportedly worried about the scope and nature of the surveillance, particularly regarding potential misuse of information.
No Change Expected: Despite the diplomatic exchange, sources indicate that Israel is unlikely to immediately cease its intelligence activities.

This is all DIRECTLY parallel to the wholesale destruction of our planet.
There is no line they won't cross. None. They will burn everything and everyone. Those who hold power and profit sacred above all else, don't have a single shred of decency or love.
Fortunately there aren't very many people like that-- the tricky part, is their lackeys. The people who may still have shreds of decency, but can only muster love for a very few people closest to them, and whose fears outweigh everything to the point they are willing to delude themselves and carry water for depraved planetwreckers just to curry favor in hopes of being spared the hell they're helping unleash on everyone else.
That's what we're up against. True monsters, and the morally bankrupt cowards who serve them.
Most of the so-called leaders who are supposedly normal, decent, upstanding citizens-- the faces on television, the smiling politicians and businesspeople and celebrities, successful and proud and so fond of brunch-- simply do NOT have functioning consciences.

In my many decades long career I have met many people who are unable and will remain unable to function in society. These people are extremely dangerous. Barely trainable animals.
They come in all colors, sizes and shapes. Not all nightmares are locked away in cells. Many walk free. Some in my neighborhood and some in your neighborhood. You see them nightly in the local news.
Example: I call him the Mojo Man. He tried to burn up eight people at home and succeeded in destroying their home and all their possessions. WHY? Because a juvenile female would not talk to him at three in the morning. He did a couple years and released. He has been arrested and charged with violent crimes three times just this year. He is at the mental hospital every few months, off his meds and on a coroner's PC for 72 hrs. A good dose of Haldol injectable a bottle of Seroquel and Cogentin and off he goes. Booked in to the local jail until OR'ed out.
On meds he is a quiet zombie, off his meds a crazed murderous maniac.
He has no soul. Just a walking crazed corpse that don't know it is dead yet. This is the best he can expect, forever.
They are always classed as mentally ill and so never do significant time in prison. Released to maime, rape, and slay. Wash, rinse, repeat.
There is nothing humane about allowing them to walk free. There might be a time to consider euthanasia, however, I would not want that decision to make.
Once...
Prison was a break for society from the criminal. Prison was a punishment for the guilty.
Now...
Prison is a bus stop to the next victim. Three meals a day, satellite TV, gyms, free healthcare, breakfast in bed and laundry service.
The neighbors suck though. 🙄
They walk among you.
Stay strapped people.
