Whose spies are better: the US's or Israel's?

The CIA is a bureaucracy.
The Israeli intelligence agencies are a family.
CIA agents have to answer to too many bureaucrats and lawyers.
If most books and movies are accurate, the Israeli spies answer directly to 1 person they have known most of their lives.

As compared to CIA, Israeli spies are motivated by multiple overlapping reasons which include religion, ethnicity, patriotism, sense of historical continuity, and  public support.

Regardless of your opinion of this line of business , people who are more motivated and answer to fewer people should do a better job.

It is too easy to figure out who a CIA officer is and his identity and role are known to too many people.
