So, I'm wrapping up season four of FAUDA on Netflix, for the second time; much like how I had watched prior seasons of LINE OF DUTY while awaiting the next series.  This watch through the four seasons, some additional subtleties have come more readily to mind.

1). Like any society with bureaus and divisions and agencies, politics, jockeying for control, and personal politics are worst felt by the boots on the ground types who are already asked to do so much, and then become the target of someone else's wrong doing.

2). Shabak/GSS seem to be in an unenviable position: not the Corporation, and not the Defense Ministry proper.

3). As I have said elsewhere, 'Asset' is Ethicalese for 'Person', a hop/skip/jump-away from Materiel.

4). When I flew over there to join Mossad, the Assets who made contact with me were very kind and explained that, at the time, no, I couldn't join, and I would have to apply for citizenship like everyone else.

יהי רצון שיתווסף שלום וכל הטוב לביתך.
