re: #202 Obdicut

Why? He was a double-agent, right? Was he working for the United States?

Clandestine agents may be a necessary evil, but what grounds is there to call it disgusting for the United States not to give asylum to someone who was a double-agent?

And perhaps you’ll know the answer to this: has Israel even asked the US to harbor him?

He wasn’t a “double” agent — he was an agent for the Israelis. It is highly probable that the Israelis asked the US to allow him through. As a son of a Hamas official, it’s unlikely that he would have been allowed through without the Israelis putting in a good word for him.

The disgusting part is that they are accusing him of giving material aid to Hamas. He was a spy for Israeli counter-terrorism, for crying out loud! How much less terror-supporting can a person be?

It seems like it is just a pointless charade and a waste of time and resources. It’s just insanely concerning, that with so many other threats out there, some bureaucrats feel the need to target Mosab.
