There is no evidence of Mossad involvement. Far from me to defend Israel's spy agency but the article only mentions a possible connection to Azerbaijan.

The Russians claim otherwise - https://www.rt.com/news/646794-german-spy-chief-arrested/ -... According to them, his private agency also sub-contracted some high-profile kidnapping to Yaakov Perry, the former chief of Israel’s domestic intelligence agency, Shin Bet.

This one doesn't since it's a US outlet and they don't have free speech in the US, on Israel-related matters. The Irish Times reported the Israel connection though.

The Irish Times reported an Israel connection regarding a separate case involving him, the Block Scandal. As far as I am aware that case did not involve giving out state secrets to other governments. This article mentions Der Spiegel which reported the investigation on the possible Azerbaijan connection.

Azerbaijan doesn't give a rat's *** about German state secrets. :) It's either BS or they served as a proxy.

Azerbaijan is a former soviet republic. So them playing role of a proxy for Russia or stealing secrets to sell to Russians makes sense to me.

"they don't have free speech in the US, on Israel-related matters"

Is the sky in your world green?

Are you really this naive?

Are you really unironically claiming "Jews control the media" tropes as an 'everyone knows' fact? No, it isn't totally cool because you ran a find and replace with "Israel" first.

Oh wait. You're a Holocaust denier. So you are evil AND have vapor for brains.

Most people do know that now, it's not some fringe conspiracy. Part of media literacy is understanding who is telling you things and what their motivations might be, and in the West that means treating all of our mainstream news with suspicion as we know it is going to have a pro-jewish (or anti-goyim) angle wherever the opportunity presents.

You're not a virtuous person for pretending to be oblivious to this influence. You're just a shabbos goy, a useful idiot.

Literally on the front page of HN:

Both corporations are owned by jews. It might make you uncomfortable, but mainstream media in the USA(and the western world in general) is mostly owned by jews.

You don’t see many mergers between somalian media conglomerates.

and theses are currently on reuters main page for the "israel-hamas conflict" (just a few of the articles that paint Israel in a negative light)

"Haunted by grief, Gaza's displaced still wait overseas for return" [1]

"Israeli strike kills five in Gaza, including four women, health officials say" [2]

"Israeli settlers kill Palestinian in West Bank, officials say"[3]

What’s your point? I never claimed mainstream media(owned by Jews or not) never wrote negatively about Israel.

the thread started with a claim that reuters is US outlet and therefore does not allow free speech on Israel related matters
