Benji the ozie spy- for israel
More smoke and mirrors. More cover ups and official denials. The story is deeper, and with many contradictions already appearing. The truth will be hard to get to. Israel is just too powerful to allow the real story to come out.
And, we have to remember , the press has actually worked to keep it quiet all these years.
Still believe in the existence of a free press in the free world ??.

WHEN Ben Zygier died in a maximum-security prison in Israel he was under investigation by the spy agency ASIO, which suspected him of using his Australian passport to spy for Israel, Fairfax Media can reveal.
Benji, as he was known by those close to him in Jerusalem's Jewish community, reacted angrily when Fairfax Media confronted him in early 2010 with allegations that he was working for the Israeli security agency Mossad. "Who the f--k are you?" an incredulous Mr Zygier told Fairfax's then Middle East correspondent, Jason Koutsoukis. "What is this total bullshit you are telling me?"
He expressed shock at the suggestion he was under any kind of surveillance and said that he had also changed his name for personal reasons.
''I have never been to any of those countries that you say I have been to,'' Mr Zygier said. ''I am not involved in any kind of spying. That is ridiculous.''
After initially denying Australia had any knowledge that one of its citizens was detained in Israel, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Bob Carr, said some officers in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade were aware.
The revelations raise questions about how much the Australian government knew about the conditions under which Mr Zygier was being held in the maximum security Ayalon Prison.
The ABC's Foreign Correspondent program, which named Mr Zygier as ''Prisoner X'', said he hanged himself in a cell that was meant to be suicide-proof.
