Regarding: offering assistance.
Ha’aretz reports: “Tel Aviv District Court on Friday indicted a major in the Israel Defense Forces reserves over espionage charges for offering information to Iran, Russia and Hamas.
David Shamir, a psychiatric doctor, confessed to the charges which also stated he asked for money in return for his services. (…)
In August 2007, Shamir reportedly sent faxes from his home in Israel to Iranian Consulates in London and Turkey, again offering his assistance to Iran. Shamir received no response and again offered his services in October 2007.”

A piece of advice for spies and do-gooders: never ever offer assistance, at least not by fax.
