Are we are at war with say, Saudi Arabia? Would you be making excuses if they were given our nuclear secrets?

What are you, illiterate? I'm not "making excuses" for anyone. Espionage is a serious crime, last I checked, regardless of whether it's also "treason." I'm just saying two things: 1) if you're going to use a word, use it accurately; and 2) save the word "treason" for those who really deserve it (in other words, those who aid enemies of the United States). No, selling nuclear secrets to Israel is not the same thing as, say, selling nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union because Israel is not likely to use that knowledge to attack the United States. There is no "treason" treason as you say -- if you're such a patriot then go familiarize yourself with how treason is defined in the U.S. Constitution.

Regarding the rest of your rant, I have a question: do you think that the United States does not conduct espionage against Israel?
