The Wall Street Journal has reported that Israel spied on Obama's nuclear talks with Iran and then shared it with members of Congress, and for what it's worth Israel has denied this allegation. Now let's just assume for a moment that the WSJ article is true.
First of all the "anonymous sources" offered no proof that Israel spied on US rather than Iranian or other allied targets. The only confirmed spying was the US on Israel, which is how they they "allegedly" found out about it in the first place. In fact the NSA has spied on everyone from the Pope, to Angelica Merkel, to former Israeli leaders, and Americans themselves. So it's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.
Second they were sharing the information with congress! You know the guys who are supposed to actually make and ratify treaties. This is something the Obama administration should be doing anyways, but it isn't. So we have a story that tries to paint Israel as the bad guy, but really ends up doing just the opposite.
