Mau ,   Newton, MA...USA   (03.01.10)
You say..." Israel has committed a crime, and been caught!". Could you please provide us with the EVIDENCE that points to Israel? Is there a single word from Dubai where the evidence against the Mossad is put forward? The chief of Dubai's police is now "100% sure" it was the Mossad. How? where are the evidentirary facts? SHOW THEM...NOW or be quiet until you do. What are the countries of the world reacting to? The words of a single person? Show us the proof!...I demand to see the evidence supporting the charges. Something linking anything to anyone....WHERE IS IT? Haven't we waited enough?

Mau ,   Newton, MA ...USA   (03.01.10)
You say..."accept the fact that Israel is the one to blame. Face the facts people...." Once again...PLEASE, where are these facts you talk about? Words are not facts unless supported by PROOF. Where is it? show me the absolute proven link to an operation by Israel, or to ANYONE for that matter.
33. #13..JAMES...YOU ARE DELUSIONAL AND DIS-HONEST !!
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (03.01.10)

38. It's not like the rest of the world is against Israel
Realist   (03.01.10)
but rather Israel's right wing government being against the rest of the world. Isn't that excactly what sane Israelis always warned of? Thanks Netanjahu & Liebermann: don't forget to piss off the last seven countries.
39. #20 No, it means Australia neither sides with terrorists
Jack   (03.01.10)
nor terrorist states!
40. Australian ministerial idiocy
Hunt S. Cross ,   England   (03.01.10)
Here is Australia admitting to abstaining on a vote, not because of the merit or otherwise of the vote itself, but because of something unconnected. He's been out in the sun for too long with too many tinnies. HINT. There are more holes in the Goldstone report than in a crocodile's gumshield. If Australia has any pretence to being on the side of justice, then they should have voted against it.
41. The Goldstone report never even admits that Hamas is a ...
Ron B. ,   Lod   (03.01.10)
The Goldstone report never even admits that Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Goldstone’s report is full of statements of “fact” that defy belief and come without any evidentiary source. The report denies, contrary to numerous contemporary reports in media outlets, without citing any of the evidence, that Hamas fighters dressed in civilian dress, hid in hospital facilities and used ambulances to transport combatants and other military purposes. Last but not least : the Goldstone report never even admits that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Few Israelis or fair-minded individuals will find this mission, its report or its recommendations as having providing accountability or restoring the morality of the United Nations.

catalina ,   usa   (03.01.10)
"Maybe" is the key word here. Nothing has been proven so our Aussie friends turn their backs on us based on rumors??? Great friends they are!
43. Agree with #20
D   (03.01.10)
I wonder where the Bali bomber came from? And how he got there!!! And where is the proof Israel was behind killing a terrorist!!! WHERE???
44. Israelis and Talkbackers here
USA ,   USA   (03.01.10)
If Moses himself comes back and dare to criticize Israel for anything, the talkbackers here will accuse him of being racist anti-semetic and anti -israeli. the Israelis have become so pathetic in their miscalculations and all they are doing is losing whatever support they had from the west because of their arrogance and ignorance.
45. #1,#13.#16 #18... YOU DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRUTH TO COME OUT..
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (03.01.10)
PACO, #1, JAMES #13, GAVAN #16, AJOS #18. YOU GUYS ARE BASHING ISRAEL HERE ON YNET WITHOUT ANY PROOF. THERE ARE NO REAL FACTS AVAILABLE CURRENTLY THAT YOU CAN USE TO MAKE AN HONEST OBJECTIVE DECISION. THE REASON THAT YOU MAY BE FEELING A BACKLASH AGAINST YOU FROM SUPPORTERS OF ISRAEL ON YNET IS .. IS PRECISELY BECAUSE YOU ARE RUSHING TO JUDGEMENT AND CONDEMNATION OF ISRAEL WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE REAL FACTS OR THE TRUTH. THIS DOES SAY SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL ATTITUDES, BIAS, PREJUDICES. MOST HONEST AND FAIR MINDED PEOPLE WOULD WAIT FOR THE TRUTH BEFORE THE LYNCHING PARTY STARTS, BUT YOU GUYS WANT THE LYNCHING NOW, IN SPITE OF ANY FACTS. THEREFORE , YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY, AND YOUR WORDS HERE ON YNET SHOW THAT YOU ARE ANTI-ISRAEL NO MATTER WHAT THE TRUTH MAY BE AND YOU ARE NOT BEING HONEST AND FAIR MINDED TO WAIT FOR THE FACTS. YOU ARE ISRAEL-BASHERS, ISRAEL BLAMERS, HYPPOCRATES. AND #13 JAMES, CANADA, WHO IS REALLY " DELUSIONAL " IF NOT YOU AND YOUR BASELESS ACCUSATIONS AND LIES. I AM A PROUD, HONEST CANADIAN AND I AM WAITING FOR THE TRUTH. #13..JAMES.....IF YOU ARE REALLY FROM CANADA, WHY ARE YOU SO UNFAIR-MINDED AND DIS-HONEST ? MOST CANADIANS ARE FAIR AND HONEST, BUT NOT YOU !
46. #14..CHRIS... YOUR MIND IS CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT !
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (03.01.10)
#14.. CHRIS..AMERICAN... ISRAEL WAS NOT INVITED OR ALLOWED TO FIGHT IN IRAQ. BUT ISRAEL SURE MADE IT EASIER FOR THE AMERICANS AND THE AUSSIES AND ALL THE OTHERS BY HAVING TAKEN OUT THE IRAQI NUCLEAR REACTOR. DID YOU FORGET THIS OR ARE YOU JUST PLAIN DIS-HONEST AND PREJUDICED AND CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT-MINDED.
47. Australia just lost the moral war, the real world war
ralph   (03.01.10)
its soul and put its operatives in real danger. ask not if israel will help them out in the future. poor deluded fools. but what should one expect from decedents of misfits.
48. If Mosad offerto take out Balibombers wud Rudd be so fussy
Alan ,   SA   (03.01.10)
49. No. 14 Chris
NYC Girl   (03.01.10)
Conspicuous by its absence? You apparently have no understanding of the situation. Israel wasn't absent from the conflict by choice. In fact, during the first Gulf War the Israelis had to be restrained from attacking Iraq because we were afraid the "coalition" would unravel if they did. And, even though we were protecting the worthless Saudis and Kuwaitis, they were calling the shots by insisting that Israel couldn't fight alongside us without jeopardizing the war effort.
50. A Spanking With a Wet Noodle
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (03.01.10)
51. Hypocricitical, disgusting, coward australian government !
Jaaacov Baumann   (03.01.10)
Austrlian troops fighting terrorists in Afghanistan and elsewhere - when Israel does the same, the australian government is protesting ! Why ? Because they fear for lack of trade with muslim states, they fear muslim terror in australia. But this coward, disgusting and hypocritical behaviour will cost Australia much more than what caused them to act against Israel ! Why ? Because the almighty God has said : '' He who curses Israel will be cursed'' ! God is merciful - thats maybe why Australia was spared from the tsunami this time, but take it as a warning - change before its too late !
52. Israel reaps what it sows
Avi ,   Israel   (03.01.10)
Welli see everything is just tickety boo, just another example of Libermans handy work.
53. Thanks to the stupid Mr. Dagan !!

54. where there is no man
rachel ,   chutz4now, home soon   (03.01.10)
be a man. when will we learn? they hated us CENTURIES before 1948.....they HATE us still. when the manure hits the rotors it will be right against wrong. we are on the correct side. we need to act accordingly. stuff the rest.
55. Australian Pride
Dean ,   Australia   (03.01.10)
Australia has always been against the death penalty at home and abroad. Using our passports to commit state sanctioned murder is despicable for a country which holds itself up as the example of democracy. According to posters here, 71% of the world's nations (which voted) have lost their moral compass.
56. Lost in the shuffle; #14
Ozraeli ,   Australia   (03.01.10)
1. It is truly bizarre that in the midst of the (alleged) Mossad Hit - Foreign Passport-Dual Citizenship cacophony, no one of political stature (nor many Talkbackers) has happily stated that the "sadly departed" Mr. Mabhouh was a multiple murderer, with AT LEAST 2 self admitted lives , (probably many more) on his hands; an international arms dealer; and a terrorism facilitator who had been evading justice &/or retribution for decades; 2. Unfortunately, with the echo chamber of 24/7 cable TV, Web blogs, Talkbacks, political correctness, & the inevitable flood of "Blame Israel" fodder, the usual suspects & outpatients are bleating in force! I so wish that someone of stature, gifted with balls & brains, would say: "We don't know who did it; we don't condone murder in general; we don't like our passports being used illicitly, BUT this guy was a mass murderer, terrorist, & arms dealer who placed himself outside the pale of civilised society & behaviour. The world is better off without him, & although it is sometimes not pretty, "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword... We will handle the use of our passports within the appropriate channels" (and anyone who thinks that there isn't international document swapping &/or intelligence cooperation is a fool); 3. With all the good heartedness, patriotism, & eglitarianism of Aussies & Kiwis, anyone who knows the cold blooded, mercenary, violently direct Anglo Saxon character of their cultural background (and I include the broader MI 5/6, French Surete, etc. here), to think that ASIO, the SAS, et al are not out there, wandering around, looking to "preempt" the multitude of Asian-Pacific Islamic Jihaist organisations from wreaking havoc is sadly deluded. Look at the recent (long & harsh) sentences of some Jihadists caught planning terror in Australia. If they were offshore, unarrestable non citizens, would there be hesitation to facilitate a "work accident"? I think not. 4. This op shrieks that it was a "False Flag" operation, probably by Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Russian Mob, etc, simply cleaning something up. Perhaps Mabhouh turned; maybe his political "Use By Date" expired; maybe he ripped someone off, or was getting old, sloppy, & inefficient. To have 25+ costumed professional hitters running around an Arab country sounds more like a "Spy Conference" junket than a well coordinated, compartmentalised operation. So many easily attributable, (friendly) dual nationality Israeli names? So much video appearing so quickly? Not even false names on passports? No bodyguards? Innocents dragged in? (And what about Mabhouh's 5+ passports?) Puhlease! 5. # 14: As for Israeli "absence" in Iraq-just look for the (professional military) low key comments regarding Israeli contributions to Western urban warfare doctrine, intelligence gathering, fighting IED's, terror prevention, etc, etc, etc. If Israel was not a constructive, highly respected (beneath the political chatter), contributing member of the West & War on Terror, it would have been cast aside long ago. Speak softly & carry a big stick... Life is sometimes dirty; not everything can be done by Marquis of Queensbury rules; & to be honest, there are people (by their own conduct), do not deserve the protection that law abiding citizens (& uniformed soldiers) deserve. Good riddance, Mabruk Mabhouh, & many happy repeats for your comrades!
57. Get the facts straight.
Allen ,   Sydney   (03.01.10)
This has nothing to do with the assassination. Don't involve us in your petty squabbles. This is entirely to do with the illegal creation of Australian passports, and impersonating Australians to carry out a murder. Our government (and our people) are VERY defensive of our national identity. Don't take us for granted because we have a "laid back" reputation. We treat friends as the best of mates whom we would die for. But we take it very VERY VERY poorly when mates stab us in the back. Furious doesn't begin to describe the betrayal when a mate backstabs you. I'm sure you would feel the same way. And so the friendship is over. Could you expect anything less?
58. So Jews must die because of what Aussies think
Steve from Raleigh   (03.01.10)
Aussies cast Jews to the wolves because of a rumor. Have fun w your sharia.
59. HYPOCRISY
Eliane ,   Brazil   (03.01.10)
I have been reading these talkbacks about the death of a self confessed murder of two israelis and a member of a terrorist organizations. Despite the fact that UK and Ausralia and many others countries in the so called free world were and are together in Iraq and Afeganistan, I am specialy upset and I hear about the Britsh ultrage over this terrorist death, because a couple of years ago the Britsh Police murdered (I said "murdered") a brazillian called JEAN CHARLES DE MENEZES just because they "thought" that he was a terrorist. He was a worker, he was not a criminal, and they MURDERED him with 7 bullets on his head in the central subway station in London. The Hamas man was a real terrorist, in activity, He deserved to be killed. Nobody ask Dubai what a terrorist was doing there, feeling so secure that was travelling without bodyguards.
60. TO ISRAEL BASHING TALKBACKERS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (03.01.10)
Like James and USA USA, people like you forget that the scumbag killed in Dubai, was of the same making of the guys that flew into the worldtrade center. It seems that many of you have forgotten 9/11 and that we are dealing here we a bunch of brutal savages, who kill for the sake of killing and glorify death. Reading your hypocryte reactions it sounds like a righteous angel was killed. Your comments show how upside down the world has become and how people like you are confused about what evil is about. As usual history lessons are not learned and your compassion for Islamfascists, is no different then people who supported the Nazis. Besides that , you critizing Israel is of no importance, being a supporter of evil is.
