1. It was an American/British "hit"
Yitzchak ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.23.10)
This whole business is getting too sophisticated to be an Israeli hit. I bet it was an American/British hit with Israel set up as the "fallguy".
2. UK has it wrong some didn't travel for 30 years
jason ,   haifa israel   (03.23.10)
So how could they use the airport if they haven't traveled in a long time and passports are updated more frequently. Israel could use databases for this and other countries have these databases. UK govt is incompetent.
3. They're still banging on about this?
Talula ,   Israel   (03.23.10)
If it was any other country in the world, it would have been long forgotten by now. But just because they think it was us, they are going to go on and on and on. God I hate the Brits! Use my passport next time!!!!!
4. #1 Yitzchak has been watching to much James Bond films
Avi ,   Israel   (03.23.10)
Oh pah-lease get a life and stop playing the victim.
5. Mossad cloned British passports
Arthur ,   Houston, Texas   (03.23.10)
I have dual citizenship, American and Israeli. Arriving at Ben Gurion airport I always have to show my Israeli passport at the immigration counter. Once, I made a mistake and showed my American passport, the officer looked in her computer and told that I am an Israeli citizen, she returned my American passport and told me to produce my Israeli passport, I said sorry and showed her my Israeli passport. Nobody took my American passport away to be copied.
6. They take your passport for "checks" at lots of airports.
Andi ,   Israel   (03.23.10)
7.  they divert the guilt
ghostq   (03.23.10)
they messed up and blame it on Israel for messing up, British security is full of holes, they r doing poor job and blame it on Israel, sound familiar, and not new issue, jews and Israel were since the beginning of time the punching bag of the Brits, none said it was Israel, and they should thank who ever did it, and they should fix their oopses, learn from it instead of accusing Israel. but that rotten kingdom is going down anyway nomore human morals there, only today 3 labor members were investigated for fraud, they steal from their own and make more nois when someone do them a favor by getting rid of a mass murder terrorist, priority crooked and the moral issues also
8. Showing correct passport
Rene ,   Denmark   (03.23.10)
I also have 2 passports(Israeli and Danish), and the rule is that you MUST show “local” passport if you have one, you cannot enter Israel on other than Israeli passport – if you have one. So when I enter and leave Israel I use my Israeli passport and Only that.. So only if you let them “have a look” at the other passport they will see it, and this have never happened to me. And if I lost my passport and it turns out to be used to deal with a murder and terrorist, then I would have kept my mouth sealed and got a new passport, we only have one Israel.
9. #4 Avi, read #7 - but more than that...
Yitzchak ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.23.10)
What a great set-up. To rid the world of a terrorist that the British themselves wanted gone BUT TO BLAME ISRAEL, which will be hungrily believed by the anti-semetic world foremost the British themselves. And even if the British had no hand in this at all - let us NOT be surprised by this blatant British attempt to smudge Israel. In their hurry to blame Israel (meaning: Jews) for ALL the troubles of the world, even if the facts may not be true and have not yet been proven. Proof? That is irrelevant - what IS relevant to the British is that Israel (and the Jews) are bad and must be brought to their knees and beg mercy for being allowed to exist at all. In the end of days, we shall see who will be brought to their knees
10. and turkish MIT stole 5,000 blank german passports/july 2009
eporue ,   europe   (03.23.10)
5,000 ! blank german passports, plus seals, visas, from german migration offices. 80 (!) of those passport blanks already showed up in international travel. its strongley supposed, that they were not on charity missions... then lets wait and see, what the consequences will be for turkey - and erdogan with the big mouth about the 27 passports...
11. What is all the fuss about?
Lioness ,   Israel   (03.23.10)
MI5 and the CIA were watching the arch-terrorist for some time now. I demand to know why the British clonned these passports some were not used by the owners of these passports for many years!
12. ONE MUST USE ISRAELI PASSPORT TO
Inyaki ,   Bilbao, Basque   (03.23.10)
ENTER ISRAEL, IF ONE HAS A DUAL NATIONALITY. THEY NEVER ASK YOU YOUR EUROPEAN PASSPORT FULLSTOP. THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE.
13. to #4 boss stop copy my posts
ghostq   (03.23.10)
I all the time tell you to fix things instead of being victim and blame Israel system of being racist, and join the main stream what you think by blaming someone and cry racists you solve your problem, your problem got nothing to do with political issue, and shouldn't you want acceptens adrees the main stream instead of accuing it, damn in every country in the world it's not political but you chose it to be, don't be suprise that after you blame main stream of racism they will turn any law offer down.
14. to #9 they know if anything go wrong
ghostq   (03.23.10)
they can always blame Israel, that's what the USA is doing with Iran, every chance they get they say we won't stop Israel aka the big bad wolf, that how Brits during the mandat evacuated Arabs in the name of Israel (Arabs r not smart enough to realize it's not Israel, even today they Blame Israelis for what the Brits did tothem) and the refugee camps r Brit invention, they blame Israel for that too. never too risponsibility for the war they created. but if the evrage moral of a Brit today is that is ok for 13 year old child to become a father than as I always say something is rotten in the kingdom of the UK and it's not Johnny.
15. Anyone - Where is the PROOF??!!
Christy ,   Boston, UK   (03.23.10)
Where is the proof that Mossad was behind the assassination? Fingerprints? DNA? What?!! So far, all that's been presented is vid. camera pictures of people who they claim had forged passports. What do they pictures prove? = Nothing. The whole thing smells like a set up to me.
16. Killing in Dubai
Kwame Sakyi ,   London uk   (03.23.10)
Are they still on about the death of this terrorist? If a Taliban passport is cloned to facilitate the killing of Osama-bin-Ladden I bet all Intelligents Agencies will clamour to take credit for a brilliant job well done. At least one monster is off the street and we ought to be celebrating.
17. where is the logic?
Hanna, ,   Tel Aviv   (03.23.10)
if these were Israeli assassins, why would they go back to Israel directly instead of dispersing themselves? Dah!
18. To: Number 1
Amazed ,   Tivon, Israel   (03.23.10)
First of all, American Intelligence has to be the best example for an oxymoron there is! To put sophistication and American in the same sentence is also pretty funny. If Mossad had done this, do you really think that they would have been that obvious?
19. Oh my.......
David ,   USA/ISRAEL/EGYPT   (03.23.10)
Britain was humiliated. Who ever did this made the whole world look dumb. the Brits have egg all over their face and they don't know how to wipe it. Soooo sorry. LOL hahaha !!!!!!
20. unlikely as some of those passports did not leave country
JO   (03.23.10)
for years, so how then could then be copied at airports. If the people never travelled how can it be so.
21. Brits accuse judge & execute Have become international cour
I hate Ham-ass   (03.23.10)
22. UK PASSPORTS.. ABUSE..
ali ,   villanova -PA- USA   (03.23.10)
ISRAEL IS MAKING IT HARD FOR DECENT ISRAELI BUSINESSMEN AND PROFESSIONALS WHO TRAVEL EVERY ISRAELI YOU MEET AND YOU LIKE..YOU WILL HAVE TO BLUNTLY ASK..DO YOU WORK FOR THE MOSSAD.. THE MOSSAD HAS THE MONEY AND THE TECHNOLOGY TO CONTROL ALL.. ISRAEL WOULD NOT NEED ALL THIS NONSENSE, IF IT WANTS TO LIVE AND LET IVE, IN PEACE WITH THE PALESTINIANS..
23. Fair is fair
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.23.10)
The British are insulting Israel because some Islamist terrorist traveling with fake passports was killed in Dubai. Time for Israel to sell Argentina sub-hunting technology and anti-ship missiles to defend against British aggression.
24. Britain on sinking sand
Brod ,   USA   (03.23.10)
Britain cares more about Islamist-Jihadist terrorists than a Western Democracy-Israel defending itself against Islamist-Jihadist terrorism.
25. Quid pro quo
Sidney ,   USA   (03.23.10)
Expel the British ambassador to Israel.

29. Minister Lieberman - Recall our Ambassador to the UK!
David ,   Karmiel,   (03.23.10)
Enough is enough! Britain is once again appeasing the Arabs out of fear of Islamic terror both within and without! Israel does not need the UK which is renowned for its anti-Semitism starting in Buckingham Palace. The next time Tony Blair wants to come to Israel he must be declared persona non grata! They accuse with no evidence just because we are Jews!
30. Last night 3 ex UK Ministers were exposed on TV for abusing
Alan ,   SA   (03.23.10)
their positions .They were charging £3000- £5000 A DAY for their services.Also they were telling lies to prospective clients about what they had done in the past for other clients! So today UK will make a side show to draw off attention from this hell of a stink Israel will be the attraction that drawas away the attention .
