1. VIVA KHAFAN:)
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.28.10)
"Dagan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will head the list (of an international arrest warrant) if it is proven Mossad is behind the murder" ARE YOU READY?!!!
2. Is anybody taking this seriously?
Michael Peterson ,   London - UK   (02.28.10)
A person would have to be at the mental level of a moron to believe that Mossad sent over 28 people to carry out this assassination. And of course, like Mossad would use the names of Israeli citizens. Give me a break, this whole story is fun for the public with people world-wide buying Mossad t-shirts and other paraphernalia. http://www.ourchangingglobe.com/the-dubai-liquidation/ The world has a lot of problems right now so It's OK for the MSM to join in the fun but let's not get carried away with this hype - please. The various governments are play acting rather than admit that if they care at all about Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, then they are pleased that he's dead. Michael
3. Politically correct Londonstan disapproves of JUSTICE.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.28.10)
4. NEWS FLASH: Israelis wear masks!
David Olesker ,   Jerusalem Israel   (02.28.10)
British police suspicions of Israeli subterfuge were confirmed today. PC Plod said, "We arrived in Israel to discover that most Israeli's were wearing disguises". Tel Aviv, 14 Adar 5770
5. How many covert operations have...
Galut ,   selah   (02.28.10)
the UK participated in over the last 70 years? if Israels supposed operation is condemed then ALL OTHER WORLD SPY AGENCIES MUST HANG UP THIER LICENCE TO KILL.....!!!!!. BRAVE NEW WORLD ISN'T IT...? WHATS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER !!!!
6. #2
Farouk ,   Jerusalem   (02.28.10)
It does not take 28 suspects to kill one man al Mossad style, it only takes 3 agnets. However the mossad realized that the Dubai shopping festival was on so a few came for the deals and the nice weather.
7. Is anyone planning to investigate
Haifa granny   (02.28.10)
the four or five forged passports Mabhouh had in his possession? Is anyone planning to investigate Dubai as a marketplace for terrorist arms? Is anyone planning to investigate Tamim's complicity in the crime?
8. DNA proof?
Jacob ,   Beer Sheva   (02.28.10)
How can you have "DNA proof", if you haven't arrested anyone? So, maybe they have found a hair in the terrorist's hotel room, but to prove the identity of the suspect, you will need to have the suspect in order to compare the DNA. Otherwise there is no proof. Or do I miss something?
9. Investigate the PA hit on Hamas figure
Yacov ,   Chicago   (02.28.10)
So the PA put out a hit on one of their Hamas rivals. Mabhouh would murder rival Palestinians just as he murdered Jewish women and children. As far as the Brits, they were anti-Semites in trying to handing over 85% of the planned State of Israel to the Hashemite clan. They were anti-Semites in attempting to hand over the remaining state of Israel to the Arabs in 1946-48. Let the Brits investigate British crimes against humanity in the colonies they invaded and occupied around the world.
10. What the Dubaiti police don’t say
Ana ,   Spain   (02.28.10)
Mabhub was a notorious terrorist known by everybody, wanted by Jordan and Egypt. However, he could travel from Syria under his real name, pass all the airport controls, check into a hotel a hotel using his real passport and the Dubaiti police did not move a finger. Why had Mabhub, the person in charge of purchasing weapons for the Al Qassam Brigades, traveled to Dubai?
11. Mabhub’s false passports
Ana ,   Spain   (02.28.10)
Why does the Dubaiti police say nothing about Mabhub’s four false passports, which he used at his convenience?
12. The whole story is fabricated anyway
Carsten Schmidt ,   Germany   (02.28.10)
Or do you believe any secret service would need 28 persons to kill that terrorist in a hotel? This is the usual Arab narrative, like the notorious invisible-ink-on-underwear spy stories etc. And the West is falling for this because there is a chance for lashing out at the Jewish state. This is all too obvious...
13. Perhaps, whilst they are in TA, the British could explain...
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (02.28.10)
Why they issued 'genuine' British passports to the islamic terrorists who carried out the murders at Mike's Place. In fact, whilst in TA, they should be made to visit the place. Also, the Israelis being questioned should only have agreed to meet these British police officers in Jerusalem... the Capital of Israel not in Israel's second city where they choose to have their embassy in order to appease the arabians.
14. British amateurs! what does a statement
Vardina   (02.28.10)
of an Israeli holding double citizenship prove? Only one thing: that his or her passports had been abused. This is already common knowledge. This provides no clue as to the identity of the terminators.
15. Terrorism
Lioness ,   Israel   (02.28.10)
There is supposed to be a worldwide war against terrorism. So why are Briton and other countries acting on behalf of terrorism? Whoever killed this terrorist should be given a medal as part of the worldwide action against terrorism. Any country who can not understand that a terrorist was taken "out" should start searching their own moralilty whether they are actually agreeing with these terrorists.
16. #3 Bunnie you should go hang around UC Irivne sort that out
Sarah G ,   London   (02.28.10)
sort that one out on your doorstep before regurgitating your same argument which is irrelevant to another countries justice system. As you can see this article is talking about police interviewing passport holders who had their ID stolen, which I am sure you would be the first banging on the door of the US embassy if yours was demanding JUSTICE.
17. #13 I see ur point but you digressing point of the article.
Alon ,   Miami, FL, USA.   (02.28.10)
How do you know why the embassy is in Tel Aviv anyway? the US/Irish/German, French embassies are ALL in Tel Aviv. Are they all appeasing?? Also, the murderers that sadly bombed mikes place, two are dead and the 'network' they had in the UK are all in jail now.
18. Britain Probes
Hal ,   Usa   (02.28.10)
Monty Python lives! I would say don't make me laugh but really it helps to laugh as a way of relieving the stress that comes from wanting to wring the bloody necks of the dullards that, like the Harpies they are, bleat away their outrage that Israel would seek to terminate vile death cult netherworld fanatics that seek to kill anyone that would help them make the news in a spectacular way. Try being outraged at these nefarious flatheaded morons that use the poor and mentally challenged to further their wicked goals. Try that and then prey you are not next in line at the wrong bus stop on the wrong day! Cheers.
19. #2 Farouk
Hal ,   Usa   (02.28.10)
Thanks Farouk, I am still laughing. Brilliant!
20. BRITAI INTERESTED BECAUSE OF IRISH CONNECTION
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne,   (02.28.10)
I just think that a bit of rational thought might be useful.The idea that Mossad or any covert agency would send 26 agents to kill 1 terrorist is ridiculous. Could it be that Mabhouh was arranging,as middleman,a very large shipment of arms from Iran on behalf of several different terrorist groups?These people with false passports would actually be several smaller groups in Dubai to negotiate individually with Mabhouh,one of which could have been the Real IRA which has suddenly got active again in N Ireland.The British government would want to know about that.Did those with Irish passports have Irish accents?It's very distinctive,but we haven't been told.That's strange. The 2 'suspects' who 'escaped' by boat to Iran would have been Iran's representatives in the arms deal. I don't believe the Dubai police version which is really just anti-Israel innuendo and insinuation.If things were going badly,any of those terrorist groups would have killed Mabhouh to try to cover their tracks. If this scenario has any reality and if it was actually Mossad that killed Mabhouh,they would have done a lot of innocent people a big favour. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
21. #20 Ian
Hal ,   Usa   (03.01.10)
I think you're on to something Ian. It could likely be similar to that big Mafia convention in I think 1957 when all the families met at some remote farm house and scattered like rats when the place was raided. In this case however, I think the rats had either a plan B to kill Mahbouboo as a cover to hang this on Israel for Iranian purposes or plan A that he was a rat they no longer trusted and set him up to whack him and hang it on Israel for Iranian or Syrian purposes. Or it was a PLO/PA hit to avenge the rooftop acrobatics performed by Fatah loyalists after the post election coup d'tat by Hamas. I've got a million of them!
22. #21Hal,Thanks.WHY TAKE THE DUBAI POLICE VERSION AS GOSPEL?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne,   (03.01.10)
I find it disgraceful that so many just accept the Dubai police insinuations as reliable.They believe what the want to believe because it's anti-Israel. At the risk of repeating myself,it's ridiculous to think that so many Mossad agents would have been in Dubai just to kill one terrorist,so we should ask ourself who all these people around the scene with false passports were. For sure,Mabouh was there and easily the most probable reason was to arrange an arms shipment from Iran.It most have been something very big and profitable to get him there so unprotected. We've all heard the anti-western threats from Iran,and that means that they're organising more terrorism by others;Iran prefers to look innocent and uses proxies. Strange how we've heard so little about the 2 who shipped out to Iran.I doubt that they were nice people. Whatever,the Dubai police investigation smells fishy so let's speculate in other directions. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!! T
23. #22 Ian
Hal ,   Usa   (03.01.10)
Hey Ian, how's things? You've pretty much nailed it old man. As you can see, from the time the Dubai police chief began the concocted screen play, the echo chamber effect has moved like the waves of a tsunami. Nothing as you have noted really makes sense to the Israeli angle as it has a distinct oder. I don''t think you have to be a fan of Conan Doyle to divine the thread in all of this. As for me, like the theory "Ocams Razor" the simplest story line here is most likely the truth. The simple line in this starts with a question. Who has the most to gain? Israel has the least to gain as you can see. So who really at this very moment stands to gain the most? The simple answer is too obvious, Iran. The current drumbeat of news seems to point in that direction. Iran, having lost their foil El Baradei is now under pressure from the new IAEA chief. Just today the IAEA chap says that Iran is not co-operating with the IAEA investigation and that Iran has not proven that they aren't working on a bomb. Now, if you look at Dubai and realise that for Iran, Dubai funtions like a Walmart for the circumvention of trade restrictions. Dubai has and is the playpen of the rich and famous but also the nexus of terrorist/ Iranian deal making. Quite elimentary my dear Ian. To cut to the chase, Iran is under heavy pressure so it causes a stir by having an illusive known terrorist taken out using the Israel kabuki dance as a ruse to throw a scrap to the hounds which as you have noticed, like a tsunami, have bounded around the planet in a knee-jerk wave of recrimination against Israel. Well done Iran and voila the Israelis are under attack, Iran is laying back while the usual suspects are braying like the donkeys they have always been. It is really simple. As Iran is pressured, Iran throws out more raw meat and the hounds bark louder. Now you have Hezbollah, Syria, Hamas and Islamic Jihad making threats ratcheting up the turmoil as we go. The outraged Europeans are genuflecting to their age old disease with the concerned Aussies bring up the rear, no pun intended. If Conan Doyle were alive today he might name this caper " The Dubaious Affair". Let me know what you think Ian. Good day.
24. #23Hal CYNICISM HELPS
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne,   (03.01.10)
I have a feeling that people in the west are putty in the hands of Islamic politicians because they're too trusting.They expect their standards of truthfulness and just cannot grasp the level of tactical mendacity that comes from Islamic governments and officials.It helps to be cynical in the face of this cynicism. As I posted yesterday,you may have seen, 10. EL BARADEI;A BAD IDEA Little by little it's coming out how much damage EL Baredei has done to regional stability and world peace.Just as he delayed and delayed in Iraq to let Saddam Hussein off the hook,he did the same for Iran.The difference being that Iran may well end up with its nukes. If there ever was a case of somebody deciding that blood is thicker than water,this is it. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!! Ian , Newcastle upon Tyne, (02.28.10) I agree with you that all these issues are interconnected and Iran is being allowed to act like a puppet master. I read today that a British journalist is being held for another 15 days on trumped up charges by Hamas in Gaza.Just a coincidence or hostage taking to pressure the UK government into cautious docility? Well,Hal,I've let my MP and MEPs know what I think about it,and I hope you also speak your mind to your representatives. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
25. #24 Ian Follow up
Hal ,   Usa   (03.02.10)
The other thing Ian is that many are totally unaware of fact or real history. So when the donkeys bray, they aren't properly responded to. I feel obligated to crush these strawman ideologues with facts, truth and wit. It also serves as mental exercise. They can't handle it because they are wrong at their core. Bullies never win ultimately. Keep punching mate!
