‘Ex-Mossad’ is Network Crime Dramas’ New Symbol of Ruthless Villainy
By Rabbi Elliot B. Gertel
Crime dramas on CBS and NBC opened the current TV season with blatant emphasis on Israeli “ex-Mossad” agents as villains, a trend that began last spring.
CBS’s FBI: Most Wanted, a relatively new link in the Law and Order production fan belt, began its third season by reveling in the premise of mercenary Israeli ex-Mossad hit men. This year’s premier episode was part of a trilogy, together with the original FBI series and the newly-introduced FBI: International, all of which constitute CBS’s Tuesday night prime time line-up.
In this episode, written by David Hodgkins and Elizabeth Rinehart with lead producer Dick Wolf, an armed bearded assassin murders a billionaire and a fifteen-year-old girl in New York City. After he flees into a subway car, the FBI officers wait for him to get out at his stop in order to avoid endangering passengers. When he emerges from the subway, the suspect, realizing that he is being followed by law officers, starts firing at them and then grabs an innocent hostage. Obviously, he has no concern for collateral damage.
This dastardly villain is shot and killed, and identified as one Efraim Amit, age 43, who was recruited by Mossad after his service in the Israeli Army, for missions in Africa and Eastern Europe. It is suggested that other ex-Mossad operatives are doing the bidding of a billionaire who has been running a vicious and deadly sex trafficking operation of which super-wealthy, famous and powerful men gladly avail themselves. These for-hire (ex-Mossad?) thugs murder teenage girls, as young as 13 years old, who run afoul of, or are no longer useful to, their ruthless boss. It is suggested that Amit was flying in girls from other countries for the pleasure of American billionaires. He was also paid to kill anyone who might expose the boss’s lucrative blackmail operation.
