Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden accused the U.S. National Security Agency of routinely passing private, unedited communications of Americans to the Zionist entity.

James Bamford, writing in the New York Times, said Snowden told him the intercepts included communications of Arab- and Palestinian-Americans whose relatives in the occupied Palestinian territories and Palestine could become targets based on the information.

"It's one of the biggest abuses we’ve seen," Bamford quoted Snowden as saying. Snowden said the material was routinely transferred to Unit 8200, a secretive Israeli intelligence organization.

Bamford cited a memorandum of understanding between the NSA and its Israeli counterpart outlining transfers that have occurred since 2009.

The Israeli intelligence used the info to force the Palestinians into becoming collaborators.
The material included "unevaluated and unminimized transcripts, gists, facsimiles, telex, voice and Digital Network Intelligence metadata and content,” according to documents leaked by Snowden.

Snowden, a former NSA contractor, is wanted by the United States on espionage charges after leaking a mass of secret NSA documents.
