Historical story

Is a Jew allowed to sleep with an enemy?

The biblical Delilah has already shown that women performing secret missions can be deadly for men. In addition, seduction is considered to be one of the most effective methods of extracting information. Do Mossad agents also use it?

Practically from the very beginning of the existence of the Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Tasks, that is the deadly Mossad women served in its ranks. Some of them have even gained international fame. Hollywood movie studios couldn't help but take advantage of this. Thanks to their productions, a very specific image of an agent working for the Mossad was formed.

What is Mata Hari from Jerusalem like?

She is a beautiful, seductive and well-trained woman. She can find herself in any situation and face the most difficult challenges, and for her country she is even ready to die.

He will not hesitate to get the information he needs. Killing a terrorist with your bare hands? Sex with even the filthiest type for intelligence gathering? No problem.

It might seem that this is just a "twisted" story about Mata Hari of the Mossad, if it were not for the statement of a rabbi. In the fall of 2010, Ari Shvat, a prominent expert on Jewish law, issued a peculiar statement. As Artur Górski writes in the book “Pięść Dawida. The Secret Service of Israel ”, the rabbi decided that:

Israeli women can sleep with their enemies if the country's security so requires. […] He referred to a case from the deep, biblical past - Esther, wife of the Persian king Xerxes, slept with the enemy. The queen was of Jewish origin, which her husband did not know.

I wonder if, according to conspiracy supporters, Mossad agents are undergoing sex training in the shadow of a dome on a rock?

The Israeli rabbi's statement was immediately picked up by the foreign media, including Polish, and discussed in every possible direction.

Some journalists, even after the words of Ari Szwat, began to analyze the marriages of high-ranking politicians shaping the balance of power in Europe and the world, airing conspiracies. There is no point in delving into crazy theories though.

Highlight it in red!

Moti Kfir, the head of the Mossad's training and one of its greatest legends, in an interview with Polish journalist Artur Górski, brought conspiracy lovers to the land. In his opinion, stories about the seduction of Israel's enemies by beautiful agents are bogus, which he tried to make clear.

Mossad agents are not like the biblical Delilah. They can get information without having sex.

Please promise me that you will underline my declaration in red: Mossad agents do not sleep with their enemies, do not extract any information from them in bed. They are not morons, although they sometimes play the role of prostitutes. These are intelligence agents and perform the tasks for which we have prepared them. And I can assure you that we do not conduct any training in the field of seduction and sexual intercourse with men.

Though the rabbi thinks they are allowed, the Mossad's chief of training vehemently denies it. Where is the truth? Probably as usual - in the middle. Moti Kfir did not deny that the agents in some sense used their charms during the mission.

They can always flirt, pretend to be a lady in need, a silly tourist, or otherwise figure out their goals. How Agent Cheryl Ben Tov managed to play it out is a masterpiece.

Information about the Israeli nuclear research program was leaked to the press thanks to Mordechai Vanunu.

Traitor in love

Mordechai Vanunu worked at the Israel Center for Nuclear Research. Although the center is closely guarded and the strictest security requirements apply, this ordinary technical worker managed to photograph the super secret facility.

When Vanunu lost his job as a result of group layoffs, he left his homeland. He has lived and worked in several countries. While in Australia, he showed his photos to a Colombian journalist he knew, and he immediately understood what he was dealing with.

Oscar Guerrero persuaded the man to share materials with the media. Very quickly Vanunu traveled thousands of kilometers away in London, where an article about the Israeli nuclear program was supposed to be published in the Sunday Times.

When the Mossad found out about the case, it was too late. The closely guarded state secrets were sold. There was only one thing left for the Institute for Intelligence and Special Tasks. The guilty party should be punished.

The article was based, inter alia, on for the book by Artur Górski, “Fist of David. The secret services of Israel ”(Znak Literanova 2015).

When the decisions were made, Cheryl Ben Tov stepped in and became Cindy, an American tourist for the purpose of the operation. The woman, whose beauty could not be denied, easily picked up Mordechai Vanunu. According to the psychological profile, the man lacked self-confidence and… the woman.

Cindy tempted him as much as she could, while absolutely refusing to have sex. If they were to make love to each other, it would certainly not be in the Islands, but in Rome, in her apartment.

Vanunu fell in love to death and chased his chosen one on a romantic vacation to the eternal city. In his mind's eye, he must have seen walks in charming streets, sunsets with a glass of prosecco and intoxicating nights. Instead of a vacation like from a romantic novel, he was in for a bucket of cold water.

Mordechai Vanunu was taken to prison by gusts of heart.

As soon as he entered Cindy's apartment, Mossad agents caught him and stunned him with an injection. After a few hours, the traitor was back in Israel, where he was sentenced to almost twenty years in prison.

Buttery eyes of a diplomat

Also the Mossad's most famous agent, Sylvia Rafael discovered and trained by Moti Kfir, she gained information thanks to her beauty. While working in France, assuming the identity of a Canadian photojournalist, she exhibited her work at the Ritz Hotel in Paris.

It was there that a beautiful dark-haired woman was noticed by a Jordanian diplomat. The man tried to go out with her. When Sylvia consulted her case officer, she learned that she should meet him. The Jordanian was hitting her, at the same time inviting her to visit his country, promising unforgettable experiences. The agent readily agreed to the suggestions, and following the Mossad's instructions ... she intended to photograph everything.

Refugee camp. A similar one Sylvia Rafael wanted to visit and photograph.

Finally, she asked to photograph the refugee camp. When he and his companion were there, armed men surrounded them. Sylvia began to be interrogated. Questions concerning Israel were also fired up. Is she not a spy, does she have Jewish friends, relatives, or is her partner a Jew?

She answered no to all of them, sticking to her cover and what she had learned in training. She neither stammered nor showed any fear. She turned out to be reliable enough that the men let her go. A Jordanian diplomat, with whom the armed men of the refugee camp did not even feel like talking, could only apologize for the inconvenience. He didn't really have what to do. Sylvia got exactly what she came for…
