1. Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was worth that all?
Keren ,   IL-BR   (02.25.10)
I read in a brasilian journal about the comment of an analist in an Israeli site who,according to the brasilian journal, said that whoever went after Hamas,has gotten the wrong priorities,being Hisbollah and Iran the correct ones.
2. Tit-for-tat, eye-for-eye, the killing madness
Nour ,   Palestine   (02.25.10)
will go on to sustain the state of Israel - but how long will the world have to sit idle and do nothing while Mossad continues to rubbish sovereign states?
3. to 2
Sai ,   Australia   (02.25.10)
Dear Nour, you just choose to forget an important fact: that he was a bloody terrorist, who killed at least 12 people by himself and planned to killed hundreeds more! He was in Dubai for the mission of buying weapons for Hamas (a terrorist organization, which killed hundreeds of people, if you forgot it). He defenetly deserved to die! And by the way: if you'll study a little bit of the Middle East true history, you will know that there were no such a country as "palestine" - the only country which existed in this territory was Israel (for 1000 years) and it will be there forever with God's and modern Israeli weapons help. God bless you
4. Israel the only democracy of the ME ?
Realist   (02.25.10)
Sad, what kind of fraudulent 'democracy' have you become.
5. Is Ynet crazy?
george ,   davis california   (02.25.10)
Why is Ynet continuing to publish day after day the "wanted" pictures of supposed Mossad agents? Thank G-d for whoever killed this Hamas monster. Where does Ynet allegiance lie? To the truth? I doubt it is anything more than sensationalism?
6. Oh Whatever! Kol HaKavod if it was Mossad!
AJ ,   Washington DC   (02.25.10)
7. Right wing government messed it up big time
Gil ,   IL   (02.25.10)
and with an FM like Lieberman the means for damage control don't exist.
8. And the proof that Israel did it is what?
yankev USA ,   ColubbusOH USA   (02.25.10)
That Dubai says so? That Noor thinks so? That Israel had reason to want him dead? So did plenty of others, including plenty of Muslims. Maybe Mossad did this (in which case, as was said, kol ha'kavod) and maybe not. But until someone can show actual proof that this was an Israeli operation, the ambassador's response should be "Why tell me?"
9. Oh pool Gil
Eyal ,   USA   (02.25.10)
Can't handle it, leave Israel you leftist. The day will come when you will beg for an ultra Right government dummy.
10. Dubai Circus
Ben Livson ,   Sydney, Australia   (02.25.10)
Why would the Mossad require 15+ operatives to kill a terrorist? and why would the Mossad use the passport details of people living in Israel? Would that not maximise suspicion? Passport details of countless millions of tourists are available to all countries and via Arab countries e.g. Dubai also to terrorist organisations. Fabricating 15+ passports of European Jews in Israel is trivial for Dubai/Hamas/Fatah. This kakameimi story is a Dubai Circus.
11. Israel losing the cold war
Craig ,   Sydney, Australia   (02.25.10)
Fact is Israel and its chief financier (USA) are losing the war against Iran at virtually every battle.. this is clearly the best Mossad can produce.. 18 bumbling morons running amok in a Dubai hotel trying to kill a Hamas "commander". I seriously doubt this target was as valuable as they make out.. he's probably already been replaced and everything is running smoothly again. Tell you what.. off Nasrallah and I will be impressed. As for Kevin Rudd of Australia. Detain all Israeli diplomats and shut the embassy indefinitely until this matter is resolved and a televised apology by the leader of the occupying junta.. Netanyaboo and co.
12. #7 Yeah, keep blaming and blaming without evidence?
Jake   (02.25.10)
Do Mossad agents flee the scene by traveling on a boat do a safe haven in Iran? Wake up!
13. #2 Nour - You can't be serious?
Umm El Kul Naqba   (02.25.10)
First of all, it has not yet been determined that we did it. It was done so stupidly with so many tracks and the assassins fled to Iran; all of which suggest that Al-Mabhouh may have double crossed Iran and they took him out and faked the stupid evidence trail. But more importantly it is the Arabs/Moslems which started the terror, pioneered hijackings in the 70's, terrorized the Munich Olympics, brought terror to the seas with the Achillo Lauro, started the beheadings of Berg, Pearl, and the missionaries in the Phillipines, attacked the WTC and Pentagon, London Subway, Madrid Subway, burned people alive in trains of India, attacked innocent civilians in Mumbai, Bali, Argentina, perpetrated the Moscow Theatre attack, murdered 1300 children in Beslan, destroyed holy shrines everywhere (Tomb of Joseph, Jericho Synagogue, Tunis synagogue, graves in the Kidron Valley, 3000 year old Budha in Afghanistan, Samara Mosque in Iraq, etc), countless suicide bombings, and on and on. They murder their daughters for "Family Honor", murder each other as in the HAMAS takeover of Gaza, and kidnap journalists and aid workers. What do we do? We are the shining light leading the world in the war against terror and we proudly kill the terrorist leaders and terrorists. No only is there NOTHING WRONG IN KILLING TERRORIST MURDERERS, it is HIGHLY COMMENDABLE AND A GREAT SERVICE TO THE WORLD TO RID THE WORLD OF THESE ANIMALS WITH NO REGARD FOR CIVILIANS OR HOLY PLACES.
14. #7 Gil - It messed up nothing!
Umm El Kul Naqba   (02.25.10)
15. #2 Gil - they messed up nothing
Umm El Kul Naqba   (02.25.10)
Bibi is standing up strong and not conceding to HAMAS as Impotent Traitor Olmert did. He and Lieberman are scaring the hell out of HAMAS and Gaza. The strangle hold is succeeding. HAMAS is restraining the rocket launchers for fear of Israeli retaliation, especially further attacking the smuggling tunnels which is the last lifeline. The terrorist actions created the rightwing backlash amongst the Israeli voters and we will destroy HAMAS and Gaza when they make their next fatal mistake.
16. What Israel has to do with fraudulent Australian passports?
Marcelo ,   World   (02.25.10)
Israel is at most happy with the killing of a serial murder and terrorist from hamas gang. But frotm there to accusing or suspecting Israel has to do with it is senseless per definition. We in the West have to think logically, this is why we build science, commonwealth, democracy and progress.
17. PM Rudd -take it easy
ZB ,   Australia   (02.25.10)
It is the British who killed Mabhuh and try to pin it on Israel. I guess that as a colony of Britain you know that.
18. Silly
Liam ,   Ireland   (02.25.10)
Mossad and Israel would be smart to watch their step when it comes to playing around with diplomatic relationships especially with counties like UK, US and Australia. If they are found to be in the wrong you will see a change in those relationships and Israel will be on it's own.
19. Appalled
Dean ,   Australia   (02.25.10)
I'm outraged that my safety has been put at risk so that Mossad can conduct illegal operations in foreign countries. No respectful democracy would commit such an act. Israel continues to snub its nose at the world and all that democracy stands for. If that's what democracy is, no wonder the arab world is not embracing it.
20. #5 Right George ,keep up your sensationalism
George ,   Canada   (02.25.10)
it is good for health.
21. #7 .About Liebarman skills don't ask ,it is enough for him t
George ,   Canada   (02.25.10)
to open up his mouth and the management of the damage become unmanageable.Ex-bouncer in governament chair instead being at the door.Ayalon isn't bad as well . All are well chosenhighly skilled politician.
22. #4 One where people are innocent till proven guilty
Jake   (02.25.10)
And so far, you ain't got nothing on Israel. Where does Israel fit in to Dubai's announcement today that some of the suspects fled by boat to Iran?
23. #2, It is all part of an inter-Arab struggle
Jake   (02.25.10)
And this is now clearly a frame-up against Israel. The more infos come out of this, the more it is clear Israel had nothing to do with it. 3 suspects fled to Iran. Mossad? Does Mossad need 26 people of diverse nationalities to assassinate one terrorist?? Please! You insult the Israelis!
24. Yet the world was silent when Hamas bombed Israel
David ,   Boston, USA   (02.25.10)
Disgusting. Good riddence to any member of Hamas an Arab Nazi organization that calls for killing all Jews. Anyone who defends Hamas defends Nazis. Why doesnt the world learn from its mistakes?
25. A little thing called proof
Mea   (02.25.10)
I hope you report on the dialogue between Rudd and the Israeli, who has every legal right to be extremely offended to be accused of murder. Since two Palestinians --oops, make that three--are under arrest, shouldn't he be calling in some Arabs?
26. #4 Realist - so WHAT has Dubai PROVEN so far?
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (02.25.10)
Even though Dubai says it is 99% SURE that it is the Mossad, it STILL has NOT been able to PROVE it. However, YOUR bemoaning about Israel being a "fraudulent 'democracy'" despite the LACK of evidence is PROOF that FOOLS are born EVERYDAY.
27. #5 - Proof They're Israeli or Mossad?
Christy ,   Boston   (02.25.10)
Why shouldn't YNET keep people informed of what's going on? It's a legit. story and publishing pictures goes along with the story. BTW - What proof does anyone have these are Mossad agents, Israelis, or even Mickey Mouse Club Members?! It's all pure speculation as to just who these people are and who they worked for. I can't imagine Mossad being so sloppy as to use forged passports that lead directly back to Israel.... Unless, Mossad wanted them to be tracked back to Israel to make some people fear Mossad. Personally, I think the hit was done by another Arab group that hates Hamas, and they thought it would be great 'fun' to blame Israel.
28. Israel's contempt to her allies
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (02.25.10)
With Israel showing their contempt for a large part of the rest of the world including countries that are considered their allies, it is no wonder that she is gaining enemies at a rapid rate.
29. And still not a shred of evidence that Israel was behind it
Shaul R ,   USA/Australia   (02.25.10)
Kicking a Jew is becoming the favorite pastime in the international "diplomatic" circles.
30. Question: What are all these terrorist doing
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A   (02.25.10)
walking freely in all Arab and European countries anyway. What is the matter with all those EU and Australian brownoses?
