I understand why you have that mental association but its wrong in this case. Cops also do intelligence and counter terrorism. So does the army. Doesnt make them spies unless they do espionage.
But it literally does? What exactly do you think espionage looks like in the 21st century? Yes you have field agents who are out collecting information inside embassies and stuff, but most of it is done through channels exactly like what this lady is doing. When the cops tap your phone to collect intelligence and then give that information to the CIA does that not count as spying because cops are bumbling idiots and not James Bond? This lady worked with the IDF and any information they gathered can be assumed to be given to Mossad if it was important enough.
Edit: I also just remembered the NYPD has an office in Tel Aviv that run counterterrorism projects.

That would make her a spy and that’s my point. If you’re gonna call her a spy you better at least be explicit in accusing her of working for Mossad. But no one was doing that.
to me that says spy.

Okay well then yes I’m doing that explicitly. Why does that matter though?
I’ll direct you to the start of the thread.
