Hal ,   Usa   (02.25.10)
Some Whine with the cheese Harry old boy ? Bugger off!
32. #17: If you're not an Aborigine, you're an invader
5th generation ,   Israel   (02.25.10)
Read up on history, and you'll see the Jews were invaded by the "Palestinians" - we just don't whine about it, so the propaganda machine rolled over us. You need to take a break from pro-terrorist trolling, do some homework and go back to England, or Holland, or from wherever your ancestors came and steamrolled Australia and slaughtered OTAL innocents with NO historical rights to the land.
33. #22: And we don't support your slaughter of aborigines
5th generation ,   Israel   (02.25.10)
of which you are either ignorant or desperately trying to deflect. "It's different" you think? Indeed: whites had NO rights to Australian land, and even Mohammed himself acknowledged that Israel belongs to the Jews. But you silenced your victims, so all is "OK" for you.
34. @20 - youi seem to have really lost the plot
(02.25.10)
You think the Islamic terrorists support your lifestyle & values??!? The Mossad actually do, ands are doing what's needed to protect it. FOOL!
35. mossad hit in dubai
JP ,   Indonesia   (02.25.10)
Mossad are good at their job and ruthless. There is no way mossad would be so untidy when it comes to basic surveillance techniques. The amount of CCTV would dictate that these 'assasins' in the hit squad have been majorly comrimised and taking this into account Mossad would never allow this to happen. People should be thinking MI6 or CIA (or a combo of both agencies) Or expendible assets/mercs It would be a coup for these 2 agencied working in tandem to do this as it would place the blame on Mossad and flag them for the hit. Hence leaving MI6 and the CIA in the clear. People need to consider thinking outside the box
36. Australia warns Israel over Dubai assassination
Zak ,   Australia,Melbourne   (02.25.10)
I like to say to use Australian passports as cover to kill anyone is a crime..Answer to no.17: There is not invaders in today Australia...Aborigines are well take care unlike Palestinians on their own land!.Australia is eg. for all world as multinational state....There was not one proof ever that you got state in past -in Palestine -EVER FOUND!So shut up..People all over are sick of yours 60 years of genocide and of your constant lies that you are "choosen" people by God-if you are you will never do what you doing!Thanke you!
37. Fairy tales...and all believe
rachel ,   chutz4now, home soon   (02.25.10)
i only ask would mossad be so sloppy as to point the finger exactly at itself? woud mossad take a risk of pushing GB and now Australia over the edge? i smell such sloppy work as very nicely placed fatah, hezbolla or other faction pallywood tactics. come on people think. and then think again. mossad would never be this stuuuuuupiiiiiid!
38. Fair dinkum, cobber.
Drew ,   llangefni, Wales.   (02.25.10)
I am glad another terrorist has been "rendered harmless" (MI-5 speak ) I thought Aussies called a spade a 'spade' But this 'Rudd' character seems to lack the balls Aussie was famed for. If mossad did the world a favour here, big "IF" freakin WELL DONE MATES bastard terrorists. A bomb up your arse Mr. Rudd might wake your dhimmi dumb senses. Go Israel. (ps. no such country or nationality as "Palestinian" - tis all terrorist propaganda.
39. to #17 ammm you do aware that Anzak troops
ghostq   (02.25.10)
killed palestinians as well kinda wondering if he knows his own history, who do you think created Gaza, the holly ghost, nop, after the famous battle when Anzak troopers came and bitten the Turks they created Gaza along with the Brits, until this day there is Huge Monument in memory of that troops, during that batlle you bombarded Beer Shiva Mosque.
40. hey #17 look what I found

41. 15 FM Smith says Friends don't abuse Friends
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.25.10)
The Bali bombers attacked Australian because they assumed Australia supports Israel illegal occupation of Palestine. Instead of gratitude, Israel abuses Australia' friendship by putting Australia and its citizens at risk. Australian credibility under Howard was zilch now Rudd is being forced into a similar untenable position as it becomes harder for the Australia Govt. to defend Israels illegal activities when Mossads and its ex judicial assassins implicates Australian passport holders.
42. 1st Let Aus expose its own intelligence services
Ron M ,   Tel Aviv   (02.25.10)
Then we can talk. I like Aussies, just don't want all this hypocrisy.. You think Australia doesn't have bugs, wiretapping, illegal activities, violations of people's rights & liberties along with its own intelligence operations? That is the nature of the business. World is ugly place, protecting me & you means people need to do tough things. Stop the high & mighty whining, and stop placing Israel on a double standard judging us by a different yardstick... If australia had world press obsessing or investigating every time an aussie passed gas like Israel does you think your wash wouldn't stink? I have a bridge to sell you. Let's have an open review of Australia intelligence shall we? Hypocrites. This guy was a piece of filth, whatever it takes.. That offends you, you don't want to be my friend?.. No prob but look in the mirror a little & stop pretending you don't have zits too because its obnoxious.
43. #22- Dismayer
Fred Nerks ,   Wagga, Australia   (02.25.10)
To "fully support the right to exist and flourish of Israel" (think I know what you meant), is strange coming from you, considering that you obviously have failed dismally to understand that the responsibility of Israel is to stop the killing of its citizens every way possible. Just like any government. As it happens, the "many problems" you mention are the direct result of Islamofacists trying to bring down the West (not just Israel). Have you forgotten which mob were behind the Bali attack?
44. its ok Australia
Lihi ,   Netanya Israel   (02.25.10)
It is OK Australia. We know that of course you have to react, but we also know that silently you support Israels/Mossads action.
45. We love Israel.
Adam ,   Sydney, Australia   (02.25.10)
Don't be concerned about what our foreign minister or his boss say. They are an embarrassment to Australians. I don't know who is responsible for eliminating the terrorist, but i'm not jumping to any conclusions. Congratulations to whoever it was. keep up the good work. But please use passports from Iran and Syria next time. Cheers
46. Australia is joining the rest of the world trash talking
Al   (02.25.10)
little Israel. May I remind my fellow British Commonwealth members that the EU that hot bed of anti-semitism is today heading the way of financial ruin. Point being is that being anti-semititic is toxic to your financial health. Of course the anti-semites throughout history were never ever bright.
47. Best way to deal with terror
Kay ,   Hyderabad   (02.25.10)
The best ever way to deal with Terrorism. No bombings no Air, Water, Surface war.Good Job by ISRAEL.Please lend the technique to indian agencies.They will benefit alot.All the best Mossad.Keep trying.Really fascinated by this strike.Felt like watching Mission Imposibble II live..Changing masks...Fake passports...Fabulous
48. to #33 don't go so far, Aussi killed more palis
ghostq   (02.25.10)
than Israel did in all the wars. they just conviniently forgot they killed them. the famous battle in Gaza By Anzak, there is Monument to the memory of the Anzak Dead soldiers, and they had very cool recreation of the battle in 2008, it was so weird to see Aussies on Horses riding it's in the Australian gov website. :)
49. australin passports
gee ,   cape town za   (02.25.10)
so many> are you sure that israel did not actually invade dubai? after all how many people does it take to kill one person?
50. To #17 Shayne: Ah, and what about the Aborigines?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (02.25.10)
Yes Shayne, blame Israel for the Palestinians plight brought upon themselves because of thousands of terror attacks even before the "Occupation". In fact Arabs have been killing Jews for more than 150 years and have occupied our country in which the Jews people lived while the Arabs were living in Arabia! You, with your self-righteous dignity, seem to have forgotten what you did and are still doing to the Aborigines! Not only did you steal their country by you killed them mercilessly and drove them into alcoholism and drugs! Great guys you Aussies, hmmm?
51. #36: Zak, your ignorance is astounding
5th generation ,   Israel   (02.25.10)
Israel also started out as "for everyone" going back a couple of hundred years. "Palestinians" mostly came in during the early 1900s to take advantage of the Jewish economy. Australia for everyone? Who decided? Whites did when they invaded and slaughtered and now have things they way they want them. Aborigines taken care of? As in a fiefdom, like your pet dogs. Like Native Americans in America. We're not blind.
52. You don't speak for me Feed Nerks
Michael ,   Bangkok, Thailand   (02.25.10)
As an Australian you sure as hell don't speak for me. I don't think you speak for most Australians. Most Australians would be horrified that any nation improperly used their passports and their special visa arrangement with UAE to commit state sanctioned murder. If Israel sanctioned this murder it is dispicable criminal act.
53. @ Dair Dinkum Cobber and the rest of you Idiots
Michael ,   bangkok, Thailand   (02.25.10)
I think this forum clearly illustrates why Australia is so concerned. It appears that people on this site continue to defend Israel the state, caring little about the action in question. It is a slippery slope when undying support for a cause is given regardless of the methods used. State sponsored Murder is illegal, it in itself is an act of terrorism. Australia and the EU has every right to be livid, moreover those people that have had their identitiies stolen should also be livid. To those hypocritical Americans, Do you forget what you did to the native occupants of your country? Also Australians would never eat the filth they dish up at the Outback Steakhouse. It is an American concept that is disrespectful to Australian cuisine And for everyone else the Torah, the Bible and all the rest are all fiction. There are no chosen people, no land of milk and honey. Moses is a fictional character, no different to Harry Potter or the Cat in the Hat. If you all stop interpretting fiction as fact and history then maybe the terrorism will go away.
54. Stupid, stupid, stupid
David ,   Melbourne, Australia   (02.25.10)
That's what this government is (though I'be thought that long before this all happened). I watched FM Smith's press conference, and he was saying that he hasn't come to any conclusions, but yet he kept on banging on about Israel and if Israel did this or did that, and calling in the amassador. Believe me, if ASIO (our Mossad) had the chance to kill someone from JI tied up with the Bali bombs, that would take it. The press here are blaming Israel, but I ask one question, and I don't know if it's been asked - why would Mossad use foreign passports of people living in Israel? They know that a paper trail would follow, and lead back to Israel, so why do that?
55. Crikey ! Wharra a liddle beauty !
Drew ,   Llangefni, Wales   (02.25.10)
'Hot Air' site gives Israel masses of support, so read em. How many Palestinians does it take to change a light bulb ? answer = None ! they just wanna sit in the dark and blame the Israelis. Oh, many a truth said in jest mates. We need much more hit-squads like this to get at these islamofascist creeps. Churchill had his out 1945 to whenever...Go Israel !!
56. to #30 don't bother
ghostq   (02.25.10)
she is pali after brain wash, no reason to get upset. you see the pali system based on hatred, people who hate that much tent to lose their humanity I wouldn't eacpect from them other wise.
57. 17, 18 & 22
Non-Jew ,   England   (02.25.10)
I find it interesting that the commentators in 17, 18 and 22 have all misquoted the 'name' of the of the commentor from post 10 as 'Feed Nerks' instad of Fred nerks. This suggests to me that comments 17, 18 and 22 have been left by one single person, posing as three seperate people to meke his views look more mainstream.....
58. The echo chamber, the bubble, the most moral in the world
Dismayer ,   Australia   (02.25.10)
If you live in a bubble, you might think all's well in the world. In that bubble all you hear are the echos of the people in there with you. The entire muslim world does NOT want to bring down the west. The Palestinians do NOT want to eradicate Israel. If you build enough straw men in that bubble you might believe that they're the real enemy. No nudges, no winks, no fair comparisons to the BRITISH invading the Aboriginal's land and the very real social problems that still exist today with the native population in Australia. How sad you really are to think that because we are Aussies and we criticise your government's sanctioned abuse of a nation that we endorse our own country's dark history. Seriously weak and pathetic of those of you simple enough to think as such. Unfortunately the deflection, distortion and distraction don't work no more. Update the manual guys. The world rolled over and woke up recently. We don't see the USA jumping to dig your asses out of this one. But then, in the echo chamber, all seems well. Shame you don't realise that the disgust and revulsion at Israel's behaviour is very real, and very global. Just ignore the reality and listen to the echos.
59. #50 - Enough 'you are Australian ergo you abuse Aboriginals'
Dismayer ,   Australia   (02.25.10)
What probably seems alien to those of you swept up in the fever of ultra-nationalism which has engulfed Israel - is that to the rest of the world we rely on our personal moral compass - we don't let what's right or wrong be dictated by the state. We know Australia has a regrettable history re: Aborigines - we as a nation are working to solve it. We're not doing enough. The individual holds no personal responsibility for the actions of the British 200 years ago - the nation as a whole does. So enough distractions and distortions, outright lies, cheap fabricated moral outrage and nonsense attempts at equivalence. Enough attempts to silence the critic - more tackling the issue at hand. Attacking us because we're Australian is intellectually bankrupt and an indictment on your capacity to think. At least you kindly painted yourself as incapable of real thought. Makes identifying the intelligent discussion partners easy. (See Lieberman. Don't catch that guy in too many friendly sit-downs do you?)
60. 1 Feed Nerks, Wagga, Australia: Thank you for your post.
Rivkah   (02.25.10)
Australia is in great danger, but not from individual terrorists although that is a hazard for most nations. Australia is in great danger because the people gave up their personal weapons, as did the British, which makes invasion of the countries more likely and less costly to the enemies. According to Bill Schnebelen's lecture available online called, "Russia's Secret Weapons Against America," there is a HAARP electromagnetic grid over America called the Woodpecker Grid. Tesla bubbles like an upside down bowl can be activated on the Woodpecker Grid which causes unstable people to shoot up schools or commit suicide or do other heinous things. That is to condition the public to giving up person weapons so that only the police and criminals will have weapons like guns. That makes invasion much easier for the Russians who fear an armed nation with guns in most homes. In World War II, Japan did not attack the US West Coast because of the fear of the personal weapons of individual Americans. China needs land to expand its ever growing population and Australia is a tasty morsel for that objective. Don't think China is at war with other nations although undeclared war? The book "Unrestricted Warfare" was written in the 1990's by two Chinese Colonels about China's war plans against America. The first phase was to train Muslim pilots to attack the World Trade Center Towers. The second phase is ongoing now: disrupt computer systems with hacking. Even printers made in China are used for espionage purposes. The third phase is to crash the US economy. The fourth phase is nuclear war. Aussies need their guns back. Crime goes down when criminals fear armed victims.
