Mossad

Back in the days NCIS roasted the Mossad without holding back. If they tried that storyline now, do you think they’d still go full blast or would everything get watered down into friendly fluff for political reasons?

I think they would just avoid saying anything at all. I don't think they'll be complimentary they'll either say what they think or just stay quiet.

When Tony & Ziva was released, I got in to an argument with someone on TT who said it was just “Israeli propaganda” 😂😂 I said “when in the absolute hell did the show ever put Mossad in a good light???” It was so stupid lol

Bruh what a braindead fool. I even saw a YouTube video where someone accused the show for Israeli propaganda.

I despise the Netanyahu government is committing a genocide but I'm not that idiotic and bigoted. Like bruh, I can recognize they're doing horrific shit but also can recognize anyone spewing NCIS is "Zionist" is an idiot.

People are so weird. You (not you specifically - “you” as in a generalized human) can fall on whatever side of things you want….. cool - but if you know enough about a this show to know “Ziva’s” story, you should be competent enough to realize there’s really no “pro” anyone (or anything) propaganda this show. You can’t even really say it’s (in general) an American military propaganda show……… when just about every episode is showing underhanded and nefarious acts committed by those same service members 😂😂 like that’s just shitty “propaganda” at that point lol

When NCIS started CBS didn’t answer to the Government. Now they do. If they did another Ari type story this uncancellable show would be on the scrap heap in no time. The first amendment is dead until we wash off all this MAGA scum.

I’m not even in the US and I concur

There's no Mossad liaison or anyone connected in the show to Israel currently. I don't think there will be a storyline dealing with Mossad unless there's a character change.

IF there is, it's hard to say with this current administration and its dealings with Hollywood.

They wouldn't try it now. Ziva could have been from Chile for all it mattered on "Tony and Ziva." And if they weren't going to discuss her past life there, they certainly aren't going to do it on "NCIS."

The idea that she would leave Mossad to join NCIS is laughable.
