Organized crime (OC) has longstanding roots in Israel, but
in recent years there has been a sharp increase in the reach and
impact of OC networks. In seeking a competitive advantage in such
lucrative trades as narcotics and prostitution, Israeli crime groups
have demonstrated their ability and willingness to engage in violent
attacks on each other with little regard for innocent bystanders.......Organized crime in
Israel now has global reach, with direct impact inside the United
States.
it is fair to assume that many known OC figures hold valid tourist visas to the United States and travel freely.

It also states that Israeli organized crime has a strong foothold in the US, playing a role in many nefarious activities within the states.
According to several media accounts, a motor scooter pulled up alongside
Alperon's car and the rider attached a sophisticated explosive device with a remote detonator to the car door. The bomb killed Alperon and his driver, and injured two innocent pedestrians.

I was just about to add that to our discussion. Very interesting similarity is it not? That makes you question whether my earlier statement, OC being tied to the government, is a real possibility.
Or is it just a convenient practice?
In response to McCain’s question about whether Musharraf was worried Afghanistan would become a narco-state, Musharraf answered that he was, especially because if it did it would affect Pakistan. Musharraf thought Afghanistan could follow the example of other countries -- such as India -- where narcotics were purchased legally and channeled into the international pharmaceutical industry. It was a $500-600 million annual industry, Musharraf said, and the profits made from legal poppy sales could go toward poverty alleviation instead of to the Taliban.

I am not a fan of the Israeli government, but after reading this I do think the government itself is actually trying to battle against organized crime. So I give them credit for that.
It's still not clear what Wikileaks agenda may be, but I agree it will be hard for people to claim they have a pro-Israeli stance after leaks such as these come to light.
¶2. (SBU) In November 2008, Israeli crime boss Yaakov Alperon was assassinated in broad daylight in a gruesome attack on the streets of Tel Aviv, only about a mile away from the Embassy. According to several media accounts, a motor scooter pulled up alongside Alperon's car and the rider attached a sophisticated explosive device with a remote detonator to the car door. The bomb killed Alperon and his driver, and injured two innocent pedestrians. The hit was the latest in a series of violent attacks and reprisals, and indicated a widening crime war in Israel.
