In theory a good suggestion, but Israel specifically gets a lot of free passes, especially from current US govt, so I wouldn't expect any benefit or positive outcome from this, just troubles for OP. Now if it would be an Iranian spy for example, they would hunt him/them down with the full force.

The current US govt? More like, any US govt.

What if it's an Iranian spy who managed to convince the person he was an Israeli spy?

  Israel uses the tactic of antisemitism quite often, even when you clearly criticize a government policy of Israel, not the people. So this is nothing out of the ordinary for them and I see no reason to blame Iran for everything Israel does that's unethical. In fact that's their tactic as well.

Any time someone brings up Chinese civil rights abuses, there's always one or two people crying racism, even though the victims are (mostly) also Chinese.

  0 and 2 were accused of passing along US classified information to Israel, not industrial espionage or on third parties. 1 was spying on Israel for the US and was arrested and convicted by Israel.
