1. The whole story seemed to me so funny
Sam ,   Bunis Aires   (02.22.10)
Especially the photos list on the Interpol website, and the Euro countries condemning the assassination of a Hamas terrorist (Hamas is a terrorist group designated by the EU itself) .. And that Dubai Sheikh every once and a while would appear on TV saying some funny things. Yeah, I bet it was a reality TV show everything was staged up and everyone collaborated in its success including Hamas, EU countries, Mossad and the alleged innocent Israeli citizens implicated in this "crime"... I only hope that the guy was worth the effort and was a big guy - though his character doesn't imply so. Season 2, I hope to see some participation from Hezbollah and Iran Revolutionary Guards.
2. What a stupid way to justify such big embarrassment !!!
(02.22.10)
LOAD OF CRAP
3. Typically lame leftist trash
A NIce Fellow ,   Montreal   (02.22.10)
Nothing to see here; it's just more of the same.
4. Asaf Gefen, heh? Smart Israeli.

5. Author sounds like a conspiracy theorist
Yonothan ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.22.10)
What is this nonsense? Liking the Mossad to a reality tv show? The author thinks international espionage wants publicity? Author, you are delusional.... please re-start taking your meds immediately
6. nice
Charles ,   Spain   (02.22.10)
I think this article is really good. If Mossad operations can be played back in CCTV, then this makes for great viewing.. but also raises the profile of israels mossad agency... The world is still amazed that to kill one person,, mossad sends 18 people... Terrorists beware!! is the lesson.. and the proof is on the CCTV..
7. Asaf is sorry that Mabhouh cannot murder any longer
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (02.22.10)
This is the leftist mind, and to cover up his tears he comes up with a fantastic story about advertising cosmetics
8. Sense of Humor Anyone?
Joe ,   Belgium   (02.22.10)
Reading through the comments, I'm having a hard time with too many people taking this humorous article serious. After days of endless articles, claims and theories, here a humorous view on the whole story, truly a breath of fresh air. How 'the left', conspiracy theories have anything to do with it is beyond me. Sure, the Mossad (if responsible) may have had their calculations to be filmed, but they certainly aren't these ironic arguments. Come on, Jews, even in those bitter times, don't forget how to laugh!
9. Interpol did it!
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.22.10)
It just struck me - who else could get so many European passports? Who else would need 18 different people to assassinate one person? Who else would want to frame Mossad? It fits. The EU wanted as many different member state involved hence the huge team. All the different airlines, etc. I have as much proof as the police chief of Dubai.
10. Arabs did it to blame Israel
ToneDeaf ,   USA   (02.23.10)
Someone/Arabs did it to blame Israel, hell they even used the European passports of living Israelis to make it look like an Israeli inside job
11. So right... very funny
ZeK ,   Buenos Aires, Arg.   (02.23.10)
But I should add that anything looks funny from Buenos Aires. The most boring city I've ever seen.
12. Facebook
Leon Rogson ,   Los Angeles, CA   (02.23.10)
The irony escapes me. It is true we should have used a shoulder fired missile, or a cruise missile to take out the entire hotel, and our target. But it is not politically correct to do so! How much better if we can all applaud in Face Book, and provide business to the tailors and cosmeticians that created this HIT! Leon
13. I have sunglasses & wigs & Nixon masks to donate to Mossad.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.23.10)
For gosh sakes, why didn't they dress up as wives in burkas, not much evidence in a picture of a black cloth and eye slits. You could even use special makeup to show beating marks if they wanted to look up under the burkas and the men wouldn't have to shave their legs. I may be too old to be an active spy, but I can plan the jobs and bask in their success.
14. NO PROOF even that would stand up in a kangaroo court
Sharona ,   Jerusalem Israel   (02.23.10)
Dubai arrests 2 Palestinians and the Palestinian authority accuses Hamas of being involved and the whole world thinks Israel did it.
15. Need for Accuracy
George ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.23.10)
Sorry, the first televised murder was that of Lee Harvey Oswald by Joe Ruby. It's now time to let the subject go and stop groping for cheap shots.
16. Facebook
American Israeli ,   Herzliyah   (02.24.10)
Too late, they already have profiles!!
17. I have an idea
Nimrod ,   Baghdad-Iraq   (02.24.10)
why dont we all get together on the oprah winfry show wear detective clothes wear banners of our countries who are suspects or at least banners of the nationalities that actually took part add to that Iraq who probably funded the mossad and mean israelis and sing spies in the night, hey we would make headlines across the world and you tube would run the video LIVE on live stream? good idea ? i know I am a genius.
18. Fake passports
Ciaran ,   Dublin IREland   (02.26.10)
Stupid Americans I accept fake Irish passports I don't . Have u no shame?
