1. Another day, another diplomatic crisis
(06.15.10)
and once again Israel will acknowledge their guilt by remaining quite and doing nothing in return.
2. The ugly face of Israel
Mamoun ,   Ramallah   (06.15.10)
Sooner or later all the world will see the true ugly face of Israel Shame on you
3. Excuse me?
zoe ,   jerusalem   (06.15.10)
How about they withdraw staffer from their embassy in Tel Aviv on the counts that their nationals embarked on a flotilla serving enemy interests?
4. Irland, Australia, UK they all use forged passports sometime
zionist forever   (06.15.10)
All intelligence agencies use forged passports to carry out illegal operations abroad at times and they all carry out illegal operations. To a degree the intelligence business is like a game and the governments have to condemn whats happened mainly for public image because the voters expect something to be done. In this case though all the countries concerned seem to be taking this thing much more seriously than they would if this was either the US or a European intelligence agency which had forged passports to kill a terrorist. What does need doing is Mossad need to ask themselves a few home truths like how did we screw up so bad and how will we avoid messing up again in future.
5. I'm not surprised
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (06.15.10)
The Europeans are using Israel as a mean to make their people forget about the economic crisis, their weak economy and their high unemployment rates. They are condemning Israel to gain as much as mulims votes as they can, as muslims are increasing in Europe. It also depends on right or left wing government in Europe. Lefty people in Europe are driven by their hate towards Israel , although they know nothing about the situation. Anyway think about it, all the enemies of Israel are the enemies of humanity,dictators, fanatics, Nazis etc... If A=B and B=C so A=C , from this we understand that Israel = Humanity and the continuity of life. People god gave you a brain, use it .
6. Irish hypocrisy
DT ,   TA Israel   (06.15.10)
And what about you Irish on the Gaza flotilla? Thats OK is it - supporting terror but not if we kill terrorists ?
7. Only Israel steals identities
Robert ,   Brisbane, Australia   (06.15.10)
"All intelligence agencies use forged passports" But only Israel steals the identities of real people. Other agencies you mention may use false passports but do not endanger the lives of existing people. I wonder how many identities were stolen from the flotilla personnel when Israel confiscated their passports?
8. caving in to Arab petro dollars
nadav ,   tlv   (06.15.10)
The Irish government itself said it has NO evidence linking Israel to these allegedly forged passports, yet because the money laundering autocracy called Dubai wants to punish the Jews, Dublin caves in (just as it caved in to save Jews during the Holocaust so as not to offend the Germans)- shame on you Ireland! I'm throwing my lot with the Ulster Unionists!

11. To #4 Zionist
David ,   USA/ISRAEL/EGYPT   (06.15.10)
In reality the Mossad did not screw up, It's making the whole world look stupid It revealed their true face. You think Mabhouh was a saint. The whole world is sadden by his death, This arch terrorist travelled with faked passports I wonder what western country allowed him to use their own.

15. Have the Paddy's just caught on? - so last season news!
Talula ,   Israel   (06.15.10)
No wonder there's a million jokes about the Irish being thick! Have they just woken up? Shouldn't they be whinging about Flotilla?
16. Since when that is an issue..
Arrow   (06.15.10)
.. of diplomatic crisis?! It is rather excuse for siding with an enemy.
17. #14 You should see him mix Politics and Religion together.
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (06.15.10)
This guy also clearly needs some lessons in English.
18. Ireland has long been in league with arab terrorism ...
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.15.10)
1 day it will be found that the Irish have aided muslim terrorists in hitting Britain. Ireland are long time haters of the Jewish people and their state, God damn them. They might changed their minds now that muslims are streaming into Ireland.
19. The Irish
Mark ,   israel   (06.15.10)
Brendan Behan [and he was Irish to the core] said that the Irish are so stupid that if it were raining soup they'd all rush outside with forks. Re the diplomat; I'm missing him already. This is going to make a real difference to my life.
20. Ireland tells Israel to withdraw staffer over Dubai hit
Natalie ,   Latvia   (06.15.10)
#7 A good idea. Israel has to steal identities of all flotilla participants.
21. #19
firth   (06.15.10)
And if we're going with stereotyrpes, does that mean that the jews would run outside with buckets and sell it for as much as they could get? and re the diplomat, good riddance. we dont need any mossad agents in ireland
22. Who, us?
Stephen Goy ,   Manchester UK   (06.15.10)
No18................................................... and not only Arab terrorism!
23. #7, really?
Danny   (06.15.10)
You know this how?
24. #2 - the real face or imaginary?
William ,   Israel   (06.15.10)
Since Israel is still being accused without the evidence, it seems the ugly face being shown is of global racism. The Irish certainly support you "Palestinians" who's only export was new terror techniques that made everyone's lives harder and less secure. The face of the "Palestinian" is the one etched in people's minds of the men dipping their hands in the entrails of an Israeli in 2002. It's the dancing and handing out candies in "Palestinian" streets after 9/11, while Israelis lined up all over the country donating blood to their American friends. You do try to change it, with your racist Euro-trash, but many people still see the filth that emanates from Ramallah and Gaza.
25. They love terrorists, but hate foreigners
William ,   Israel   (06.15.10)
It's such a hypocrisy that the Irish exhibit. They join flotillas and claim to support the down-trodden terrorists in Gaza, but react with heavy racism against the Poles that worked in Ireland during the boom economy. Apparently, even the self-righteous among the Irish are simply trying to hide their own tarnished personalities.
26. #14 - really? You missed the news on Mabhouh?
William ,   Israel   (06.15.10)
Every news outlet clearly cited Mabhouh's involvement in terror and weapons smuggling and a few brave outlets noted he was traveling on a fake passport in Dubai. Perhaps you were watching Iranian Press TV where Mabhouh was considered an ordinary man trying to feed his family.
27. #21 - did you just make stereotype of Jews....
William ,   Israel   (06.15.10)
as good businessmen?? "run outside with buckets and sell them for as much as they could get" What's wrong with that? That's capitalism 101....unless, you're really anti-establishment, anti-capitalism, pro-communism.... in which case your pent up hatred makes sense and your simply personifying it on Jews. With your economy in the toilet and your banks stealing all your cash....no wonder you're pissed....better to attack those who destroyed Ireland from the inside.
28. To #27 William
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (06.15.10)
BRAVO... the truth in your face you hypocrite Europeans
29. That was a dark, but proper response, #21
Cameron ,   USA   (06.15.10)
Touche, sir.
30. What hypocrisy!
Paul ,   Trinidad   (06.15.10)
"It's ok to forge another country's passports, everyone does it." Hmmm, why don't the unhypocritical israelis forge american passports then? What's the record so far? Canadian, New Zealand, Australian, British, Irish, German, French. Why no american ones. And to those of you who say other spy agencies do it, the difference is that israeli's mossad has a history of botched operations in which they were discovered.
