Dying for Israel – Ukraine, US, UK and EU.
Wed 6:25 pm +00:00, 16 Sep 2026As regards the US – We are led to believe that the biggest threats to our country are Iran, Russia, and China. I won’t deny that they do launch operations in response to the USA’s continued abuses of power and history of global aggression, but the greatest threat to our nation is, in fact, our “greatest ally.”
Threat Level: Emergency. “The Israeli Establishment is Firmly Entangled in the US Government”
By Julia Buck
Global Research, September 16, 2026
The Israeli establishment has firmly entangled itself deeply within some of the highest levels of the US government and critical infrastructure.
Having infiltrated our compromised country, they operate like rootkit virus. Firmly planting itself within a computer’s operating system, and taking over the entire system file directory.
The US government has struck huge deals with major Israeli cyber security firms that branch directly from Israel’s Unit 8200, which works hand in hand with Mossad. They are already operating their software deep within the federal government, in departments such as the NSA, DoD, and DHS, as well as inside the power grid, water infrastructure, missile defense sites, and manufacturing sectors. All of which have been found to be riddled with vulnerabilities such as outdated and unsecured technology.

Israel should be perceived as a very high level threat to our national security and sovereignty, but instead, Israel is consistently exonerated and touted as our “greatest ally.” You don’t see our northern neighbor Canada’s NSA equivalent, the Communications Security Establishment, providing the US government with cyber security software. Software that actively creates detailed maps and discovers vulnerabilities inside networks of high level government agencies and critical infrastructure.
Israel’s extensive history of meddling in the US has led me to suspect the CyberAv3ngers attack that occurred in 2023 was a false flag event. A relatively small scale attack to test the waters. The US and Israeli water and wastewater facilities that were targeted utilized Israeli manufactured Unitronics Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The attack was launched by using Unitronic’s very own commercially available VisiLogic software. The software was able to connect to un-password protected PLCs using default Unitronics passcodes, which then allowed the attackers to upload a malicious project file to the PLCs. This wasn’t really a hack, it was a vulnerability. A type of vulnerability that would have been flagged by an Israeli cyber security software that I’ll discuss later on.
On the targeted equipment, there here was a message left by the attackers that said
“You have been hacked, down with Israel. Every equipment ‘made in Israel’ is CyberAv3ngers legal target.”
Which as per the standard, poorly written Israeli propaganda, would automatically make Iran look like the most obvious suspect in the public’s eyes. The attacks were pinned on Iran through a joint assessment by US and Israel, yet there is no publicly available, hard evidence linking this CyberAv3ngers attack to the Iranian government other than “a joint investigation by the US and Israeli government said so.”
Intriguingly, the Israeli cyber security company Claroty’s Team82 did an investigation into the Unitronics PLC. They were able to extract forensics on the attack about a year after it occurred. They dug very deeply into the Unitronics PLC, using computer magic and reverse engineering to extract forensics from the attack. However, for whatever reason they decided to censor all of the forensic information identifying the attacker in their screenshots. If they claim to already know who did it, why hide it?
What better way to encourage the US government and its citizens to rally alongside Israel against Iran, than to stage cyber attacks on both US and Israeli infrastructure? If you know how deeply involved Israel was in carrying out the 9/11 attacks, and their history of espionage on the United States, then you understand the implications. In a post-9/11 world, launching false flag cyber attacks that target both Israel and the US is the perfect pretext for US-Israel joint cyber security operations, and the pursuit of regime change in Iran.
The more recent cyber attacks from July 2026 targeting US water infrastructure, utilized a vulnerability that was already previously discovered by Israeli cyber security company Claroty, and had been known for years. Even prior to the 2023 attack. Specified in the attacks were Micrologix 1400 and 1100 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) manufactured by Rockwell Automation and sold by Allen-Bradley. In similarity to the 2023 attacks, the attackers used a commercially available software provided by Rockwell, called Studio 5000 Logix Designer. The software was used to access Rockwell’s unsecured, internet facing PLCs and upload a malicious project file. Just like in the 2023 scenario, this wasn’t a real hack, just a known vulnerability.
It is worth noting, the US-based company Rockwell Automation has connections to Israel. Rockwell acquired the Israeli company Avnet Data Security in 2020. (This is not the same Avnet that supplies Elbit.) Also, in 2021 Rockwell opened a global cyber security operation in Tel Aviv that provides optional, worldwide remote cyber security support services for Rockwell. They would have been very well aware of the vulnerabilities of the MicroLogix PLCs, having been briefed on them. While that itself is not proof of anything at all, I still find it to be noteworthy.
Elbit is Israel’s largest private arms company with subsidiaries worldwide. They have a hefty portfolio including military aircraft, electro-optics, surveillance and control systems, drones, naval and land vehicle systems, military IT, infantry combat and battle management systems, and more. They have a special arrangement with the Department of Defense that allows them access to classified data.

One of Elbit’s subsidiaries operating in the US is Cyberbit, founded by an Israeli named Adi Dar, who served 15 years in the IDF. Adi Dar was also a senior member of Elbit Systems, serving as Vice president, CEO of Elbit’s electro-optics division, and founder of Elbit’s Intelligence and Cyber division. He founded Cyberbit in 2015 as a subsidiary of Elbit, and in 2015 Elbit acquired NICE System’s cyber intelligence division and merged it with Cyberbit. Cyberbit developed PC surveillance software for commercial use by law enforcement, intelligence and national security agencies. It was discovered that the Ethiopian government had used the spyware against dissidents of the Ethiopian regime. Cyberbit denied any wrong doing.
Another Israeli company that has become deeply embedded within US government and critical infrastructure is Axonius, which has been described as an Israeli intelligence cutout. It was co-founded by three Israelis who had worked together in Unit 8200, Ofri Shur, Avidor Bartov, and Dean Sysman. Axonius has penetrated over 70 organizations within the US federal government. So what does Axonius do? Their software creates what is essentially a blueprint of a network, mapping out devices, users, applications and their relationships. In their own words,
“We build a complete, accurate, and always up-to-date model of your entire attack surface.”
So, a company built by adept Israeli cyber intelligence forces is busy mapping out networks, or “attack surfaces,” of high level US government agencies and critical infrastructure under the guise of enhancing cyber security. Does anyone see where this could go wrong?
There are also US government contracts with an Israeli company named Verint Systems. Formerly known as Comverse Infosys, and renamed Verint Systems after being implicated in post 9/11 wiretapping investigations. They provided wiretapping equipment to the US government, and came under investigation for having a backdoor to intercept communications. That did not stop Verint. In 2008 it was revealed that Verint had tapped into almost every major US telecommunications service in the US in close connection with the FBI’s central wiretapping office.
In more recent times, they’ve somewhat reinvented themselves, holding contracts with the federal government in areas regarding surveys and customer oriented services. This is nothing more than a ruse, they simply rebranded their cyber intelligence division as a company named Cognyte to continually enable warrantless surveillance.
Next, there is an Israeli cyber security company I mentioned earlier, Claroty. The president of the company is Nadav Zafrir, a former commander of Unit 8200 and co-founder of Team8. Team8 serves as a venture creation foundry, to “identify problems in cyber security and creating companies to solve them.” The company’s management positions are filled by members of Unit 8200. One executive by the name of Gil Gur Arie, served 20 years in Unit 8200. Claroty requires a Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) and Authority to Operate (ATO) to operate in the US at highly classified facilities such as a missile defense site. This still doesn’t prevent insider-origin attacks.
What Claroty CTD (Continuous Threat Detection) does is create a blueprint of the network and all of its devices. It keeps track of every device’s model, vendor, firmware version, and ip address. It uses a flagging system that detects vulnerabilities in the network, comparing it to a database of known security flaws. All of this sensitive information about devices and vulnerabilities is running through a foreign made software, crafted by elite cyber warfare experts. In order for a hacker to gain access to the network, the vulnerability doesn’t have to come from Claroty’s software itself. They can gain access to the network through other means, and essentially lay and wait inside the network undetected. There, they can then utilize Claroty’s software to spy on the network. That’s all assuming that Claroty themselves can be fully trusted.
For a state-sponsored attack, a missile defense site is considered a hard target, but the network can still be infiltrated through methods such as phishing an administrator, compromising an engineering workstation, or even through a backdoor update media that’s code goes undetected by security measures. Infiltration that could be made much easier by being the state sponsor who created and provided the software.
While the US government has safeguards such as FOCI in place in order for a foreign company such as Claroty to operate within the US, they are not fail proof. FOCI only prevents the Israeli parent company from having direct human access to classified data. It doesn’t defend against, in theory, malicious code that could be injected into Claroty’s software to be used as a backdoor. For a company founded and run by Israel’s most elite cyber security and cyber warfare unit, with top veterans of unit 8200 operating in high positions, this should be raising serious alarm bells. Recently, the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency raised Israel’s threat level to critical over counterintelligence concerns. Despite that, it appears no real action has been taken.
The last cyber security firm I’m going to mention in this article is Waterfall Systems. On the surface, their security protocols seem very secure. One way fiber optics cables are utilized to prevent attacks coming from outside the network. We need to ask the big question though, where are the potential vulnerabilities? Can it still, and how can it still be exploited? You would think the cyber experts allowing this software to operate within sensitive areas of our country would have figured this out already, apparently not. Nozomi Networks Labs based out of San Francisco, California discovered a vulnerability in WF-500 TX and RX hosts. The web UI could be used by attackers to execute commands to read, delete, or modify files, and install backdoors, effectively disrupting operations. This may not be the last either.
At this rate, simply saying Israel has influence on our country is a huge understatement. We have reached a point of no return. With prior knowledge of Israel’s history of espionage on the US, you can see the very real dangers of allowing them to have so much access. If they are to carry out a large scale cyber attack on our country via the numerous vulnerabilities they’ve detected, or backdoors they’re able to create with their own software, it will be categorized as the cyber attack version of 9/11. Cyber experts have issued warnings of an imminent, large scale cyber attack on the US, though they are pointing in the opposite direction of Israel.
Critical infrastructure, shut down. Manufacturing, shut down. Government, shut down. The consequences of an attack this scale are extreme and could result in partial societal collapse. When you have a population of 342.6 million people, if power, water and communication is cut off to a 1/4 of them, it would spell large-scale disaster. This disaster could then be sensationalized by the highly controlled corporate news networks, to be easily blamed on a foreign adversary to the benefit of Israel. The impact would yield massive public support against a foreign country, such as Iran. On top of that scenario being a possibility, Israel can essentially coerce the US to do whatever they want over threats of destabilizing the country. “Do what we say, or its lights out!”
If you were to devise a plan to bring the largest military superpower in the world to its knees to do your bidding, would you launch an internal attack, or a ground invasion? A tick by itself doesn’t have the physical strength to kill a human, but a tick infected with a deadly virus does.
