美媒爆出新聞 以色列在美間諜活動驚人

Israel spies on the United States more than any other ally does and these activities have reached an alarming level, Newsweek magazine reported on Tuesday.

據法新社5月7日援引美國《新聞週刊》消息稱，以色列在美國的間諜活動比其它任何盟國都多，而且這些活動已經達到驚人地步。

The main targets are US industrial and technical secrets, the weekly said. Newsweek said a congressional staffer familiar with a briefing last January called the testimony "very sobering ... alarming ... even terrifying", and quoted another as saying the behavior was "damaging."

《新聞週刊》援引機密簡報稱，以色列在美間諜活動的主要目標爲美國的商業和科技機密。一位熟悉該簡報的國會工作人員稱這樣的行爲“十分嚴重……令人擔憂……甚是震驚”，另外一人則稱之“危害嚴重”。

"No other country close to the United States continues to cross the line on espionage like the Israelis do," said a former congressional staffer who attended another classified briefing in late 2013, according to Newsweek. The former congressional staffer said the intelligence agencies did not give specifics, but cited "industrial espionage—folks coming over here on trade missions or with Israeli companies working in collaboration with American companies, [or] intelligence operatives being run directly by the government, which I assume meant out of the [Israeli] Embassy."

曾於2013年底參加閉門會議的前國會工作人員稱,“沒有任何一個與美國關係密切的國家像以色列這樣如此過分地進行間諜活動。”據這位工作人員介紹，情報部門沒有透露細節，但稱“有的商業間諜跟隨着與美國有合作的以色列公司而來，有的是直接由政府管理的情報人員，我覺得他們來自以色列大使館。”

Israel's espionage activities in America are unrivaled and go far beyond activities by other close allies, such as Germany, France, Britain and Japan, counter-intelligence agents told members of the House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees, Newsweek said.

反情報機構向國會司法與外交事務委員會報告稱，以色列在美國的間諜活動十分猖獗，遠遠超過德國、法國、英國、日本等其它美國盟友。

"I don't think anyone was surprised by these revelations," the former aide was quoted as saying."But when you step back and hear ... that there are no other countries taking advantage of our security relationship the way the Israelis are for espionage purposes, it is quite shocking."

“我不認爲大家會對這一消息感到驚訝，”這位前國會工作人員說，“但當你退一步想一下……沒有其它任何一個國家像以色列這樣利用與美國的安全關係用於間諜活動，這是十分令人震驚的。”

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman rejected the allegations. "We're talking about lies and falsehood, simply libel which is baseless and unfounded," he said. Lieberman added Israel was not involved in any form of espionage against the United States, either direct or indirect in nature.

對此，以色列外交部長阿維格多·利伯曼矢口否認，“這完全是缺乏事實根據的謊言與誹謗。”利伯曼還稱，以色列從未在美國開展任何直接或間接的間諜活動。
