20 Talkbacks for this article
1. Mossad Assassination
Wag The Dog ,   Cape Town RSA   (02.19.10)
The UK has recently slapped punitive visa regulations on South Africans travelling to Britain because of the suspect integrity of South African passports. What now, you British Hypocrites?
2. "make sure it doesn't happen again..."
Guy ,   Canada   (02.19.10)
this man was a terrorist who has a lot of blood on his hands. the mossad had every right to assassinate him (assuming they did)
3. This is getting more interesting by the minute...
Maurice ,   Montreal   (02.19.10)
If the British new about this, then Miliband is just posturing! It will be ver embarassing for the British Government when the wholse story comes out!
4. passports
colin   (02.19.10)
The whole story is only for Brittan not to alter change or twist the laws in England not to arrest Israeli ministers wanting to visit Brittan !!! A NICE COVER COMPLAINING THEN DOING NOTHING Livni careful these anti Israel -anti semetic British will arrest you for entering Brittan
5. Mossad uses illegal passports & informs MI6
zionist forever   (02.19.10)
Mossad agents are traveling on forged passports but then Mossad informs British intelligence they are coming where is the logic? There was no need to tip of MI6 the only thing that achieved is creating a diplomatic incident. The logical thing would have been carry out the hit, let MI6 suspect whatever they want but if it all goes well these guys will be on the first plane home using new passports. If something went wrong there would be a scandal which would mean some bad press for Israel and strained diplomatic relations with England for a while until things blow over. If there is any truth in this story what is shows is that Mossad needs to start acting like a SECRET intelligence service not one that tells foreign intelligence services that its agents will be traveling in their country on forged passports.
6. IF this report is true...
Ram ,   London   (02.19.10)
this would be a classic example of the two faced british. Assuming Mossad did it and they took the trouble to inform the British then of course the British must be posturing. But think....what is all this act about? First...it is because they are spineless and are worried about retribution from their own "out of control" muslim population. Second....because Mossad did not request their permission (which they certainly would have not given) and because of the inherent anti-Israel sentiments in the UK, especially in the media, this will become a field day for Israel bashing. What a good excuse! In the EU they just don't need any excuse to bash Israel. For now the oil will keep flowing and muslim touchases will be licked but when the oil runs out.............BTW, anyone knows how many virgins Mabhouh has left? And why are they not celebrating him as a "martyr" like the good women of Gaza celebrate the death of their operations and suicide missions?
7. This story smells
William ,   Israel   (02.19.10)
From the language being used, it sounds like the UK is posturing in order to deflect any Arab blow-back. It sounds more like they are willing to make Israel their official scapegoat by telling a story that shows they were victims too. The report by UK newspapers - which are massively anti-Israel in the first place - stated the UAE kingdom is already convinced that it was a Mossad hit despite the Dubai Police chief stating he was not absolutely sure. Not the first time British papers have spread mis-information to vilify others, especially Jews...and it goes back decades.
8. the UK "sees the Jewish state as a friend"? hahahahahaha
Zvi   (02.19.10)
Give me a break! If the UK "sees the Jewish state as a friend" then why does it continue to drag its heels on the matter of the legal harassment of Israeli leaders? Why did it run away instead of rejecting the Goldstone report as the ridiculous travesty that it was? The UK has not been treating Israel as a friend for some time.
9. UK paper is after Dagan displacement
observer   (02.19.10)
that paper clearly says: he informed MI6, then forged British passports; in that order of arrangement. He should have had forged, then informed in that order; that would have made the MI6 take action.
10. europe's security
ale ,   Italia   (02.19.10)
using europeans passports israel had put european security in danger. congratulations, during "your" personal war at terror, you bring terror in european communities. israel moral democracy.
11. Britian is ready to fight terrorism
Stan ,   Johannesburg RSA   (02.19.10)
Britian is ready to fight terrorism right down to the last American and Israeli. What exactly is Britian, France and Germany doing to win this war? Let's see- France provided asylym for the Ayatola Chomeni who was on the run from the Sha and France is today 10% Muslim and growing. Germany is doing nothing active and murdered it's Jews that have been replaced by Muslims. England talks big but sends enough troops to guarantee a disaster.
12. Dubai, the world's preferred terrorist safe haven
Eitan ,   Chicago   (02.19.10)
What about "downgrading" Dubai for not arresting Mabhouh upon his arrival with a fake passport, if the emirate's law enforcement officers are indeed so talented and motivated? Or for playing host to Mabhouh, Al Qaeda money transferring, and a company aiding in AQ Khan's nuclear proliferation? Why not start denouncing Dubai for being the terrorist whorehouse that it is?
13. to 10
(02.19.10)
if you think war on terror is our personal thing, then you must really be unaware of the events all over the world. that is the european problem - eyes wide shut.
14. Mossad
Mike Van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (02.19.10)
The question is Did the Mossad tip the MI6 on 9-11. ?
15. Please think twice
tony ,   abuja-nigeria   (02.19.10)
What is all these hue and cries? Is what the US, France, Britain, etc., doing in Afganistan and Pakistan different from Israel and Hamas and Hezbola? Taliban, security risk to Afghan and Pakistan! Hamas and Hezbola security risk to Israel. Why crying for Israel crucifixion while they are crushing the talibans in Afgan and Pakistan?
16. a friend?
Bernard ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (02.19.10)
"..viewed by London as disrespect for a county which sees the Jewish state as a friend. " Does a friend arrest citizens of your country to appease muslims? All wil pay for their complicity in the murder of jews. Is the killed terrorist on the interpol list. are documents more important than jewish lives. As in WWII Europe will pay.
17. #10 Professor Alessandro
Ram ,   London   (02.19.10)
Indirectly, Israel is saving all your backsides. The war in Europe is a lot worse than the Europeans will admit. Just find out how many "no go" areas there because of the fear from muslims. Israel is your friend so stop being such a dhimmi piccolo francolino. Fai il bravo!
18. to #14 Powerful Mossad
Center-right ,   Germany   (02.19.10)
If you really think that Mossad so powerful, I don't envy you. Your doomed country became a hamas etc. hotbed and your turn will come soon.
19. Self Defense
Steve ,   APO USA   (02.19.10)
Who doesn't have a right to defend itself from foolishnes? Leave Israel alone. http://www.sanddust.com/pluplayer.html
20. Imagine that!
shrinkDave ,   Miami USA   (02.20.10)
An intelligence service that would actually use fake passports! Who would ever imagine such a thing? This is all a smokescreen to isolate Israel and increase anti-Israel sentiment in Britain.
