A most astonishing espionage case has just emerged, in which a left-wing journalist named Anat Kam, who's employed by Haaretz and the online Walla news service, has been indicted for treason:
Update: and be sure to take note of Caroline Glick's news on how Haaretz has turned to the MSM in other countries to see that this is distorted as badly as possible to make it look as though the gag order was done for the wrong reasons. One of the most reprehensible people who took up on this for the sake of Israel-bashing was none other than Shepard Smith of FOX.

A top secret case involving national security that was long kept under wraps by the IDF censor but was published in the international media was finally authorized for publication this morning. It involved the alleged theft of 2,000 secret IDF documents by a former soldier who worked as a journalist for the left-leaning Hebrew language news website Walla.There's more over here. Another absolutely shocking case of betrayal against the state that needs to be dealt with very seriously.

The facts that are permitted for publication are as follows:
Journalist Anat Kam, 23, is accused of stealing over 2,000 IDF classified documents, many hundreds of which are termed “secret” and “top secret.” The alleged crimes occurred when she served as a soldier clerking in the IDF military - specifically, in the office of the Commander of the Central District - between 2005-2007.
She allegedly handed over many of the “top secret” and “secret” documents to Haaretz reporter Uri Blau. Blau, who was abroad when the investigation started, has refused thus far to return to Israel for investigation. It is suspected that many of the classified papers are still in his possession – despite an offer made to him that the returned documents would not be used to prosecute him or his source, Anat Kam.
Kam, who was secretly arrested during the investigation, has been indicted in the Tel Aviv District Court. She stands accused of collecting secret information, giving it to unauthorized individuals, and attempting to harm state security.

Avi,
It won't be. Israel's leftist elites will see to it that Anat Kam isn't punished too severely. Her self-hatred after all mirrors theirs. Those people have far too much influence in Israel and I don't see the problem behind Anat Kam being solved for a long time to come.
You're right the leftist bunch could do that. She's only under house arrest, which is pretty mild and lenient considering the case at hand. I do figure it's possible though, that Haaretz's reputation will suffer thanks to this.
Good work!
