Recent reports claim that Israel's embassy in Mauritania is operating under directives from the Israeli secret security agency, the Mossad, in an attempt to recruit Mauritanian agents to work for Israel using blackmail and other threats.

According to a leading Saudi newspaper, Israel's ambassador to Mauritania, Boaz Bismut, was instructed to apply pressure on local Mauritanian journalists to provide information and work towards changing Mauritanian public opinion regarding Israel.

Bismut was quoted as saying, "The Mauritanian nation will not accept normalization with Israel unless Mauritanian journalists do so first."

To do so, the paper said, Israel has applied pressure to coerce Mauritanian journalists into undertaking the task of changing local public opinion about Israeli-Mauritanian relations.Journalists were reportedly lured with tempting offers, including sexual relations with foreign women, bribe money, and promises of support in securing prominent job positions in return for their help in the Israeli endeavor.

The newspaper even revealed the whereabouts of three luxury apartments used by Mauritanian journalists for secret rendezvous with the foreign women. Unbeknownst to the journalists, the sexual encounters were then recorded, later to be used to blackmail the journalists by the Israeli embassy.The Saudi paper explained that the Israeli ambassador would later approach the journalists, threatening to release the videotapes if they did not cooperate with Israel.

Bismut was also reportedly interested in finding out which Mauritanian politician held the most popularity locally, so that he could be recruited for Israel's undercover public relations effort.

The accusations were reportedly confirmed by several Mauritanian journalists with whom the paper spoke that claimed to have fallen into the Israeli trap. In the past, the journalists said, Bismut had also offered journalists huge sums of money to gain their favor.

Ever since the opening of the Israeli embassy in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott, many have called for its closure.

Mauritania, a member of the Arab League, had close ties with Israel under former leader, Maaouya Sid'Ahmed Taya, who was overthrown in a 2005 coup. Taya's warm relations with Israel angered many and alienated Muslim countries worldwide. Following the 2005 coup, Bismut told reporters, according to Al Jazeera, "This is an Arab league country that was by our side through the Intifada,"

"Clearly, there are those who are not interested in this connection," he added, "But the connection with the government, the president and the Mauritanian people is very important."

According to Al Sharq Al Awsat, the United States in 1993 put pressure on Mauritania "to normalize relations with Israel and accept the Middle East peace process."

Mauritanian later became the only Arab state not to withdraw its ambassador from Israel after the eruption of the Al Aqsa Intifadah.

Comment: We have included this article today as an editorial because it is instructive as to the way in which the state of Israel manipulates the governments and media of foreign nations into blind obedience to the Israeli agenda, specifically:
"lured with tempting offers, including sexual relations with foreign women, bribe money, and promises of support in securing prominent job positions in return for their help in the Israeli endeavor"

Unbeknownst to the journalists (and politicians), the sexual encounters were then recorded, later to be used to blackmail the journalists (and poilticians) by the Israeli embassy.

The Saudi paper explained that the Israeli ambassador would later approach the journalists (and politicians), threatening to release the videotapes if they did not cooperate with Israel.
These tactics have been used for decades by Israeli agencies within the U.S. to such an extent that, today, all branches of the American government have been entirely co-opted by Israel. The aforementioned Israeli agenda, by the way, is an eternal racist war in the Middle East until the Arab populations therein have been exterminated or completely subdued (most likely the former).

Of course, the end result of such a campaign will very likely include the dstruction of the state of Israel itself along with the Jewish populations that live there. Then again, given that the Semitic Jews of the Middle East are, from a genetic point of view, almost identical to their Semitic, Arab Muslim brothers, it is probably more correct to say that the goal of Israeli leaders, who themselves are not of Semitic origin, is the destruction of all Semitic peoples of the Middle East.
