Marco ,   Spain-world champs   (07.20.10)
Is she Jewish?
9. #2 Salma, Salma, Salma
Marco ,   Spain-world champs   (07.20.10)
Normally your posts are reasonable, but not this one. It seems to me that you are taking her side just because she is a woman. We need to hear from the "respected ambassador" first before we jump to conclusions. She might be a zionist Jew who supported Israeli criminal action against the Turkish flottila, which led this honorable gentleman to abandon her. She might have been having an affair or whatever. Therefore, before we make any judgements, we need to hear from the respected ambassador first.
10. 1 cat is way too many 40 is
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (07.20.10)
insane, I agree with poster #6. Why can't people just have A pet? Why do some people just have to go over board and start hoarding them?! Respected or not anybody with that many pets has a problem
11. south american ambassador
James Morrison ,   Washington DC, USA   (07.20.10)
I enjoyed your story about the diplomatic cat fight but am curious why you did not identify the South American ambassador. I write a diplomatic column for The Washington Times, called Embassy Row, and would like to pick up the story. I would, of course, give you full credit for breaking the story. However I need to know what the ambassador was not identified. Is there a legal reason under Israeli law. If so, perhaps you could just tell me and I could identify him without implicating your publication. --James Morrison
12. #7 As usual, you failed
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.20.10)
you can't read beyond the words !
13. Believe me...lo que sige es la verdad'
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.20.10)
...directly from Herzlia Pituach. It's the Argentinian ambassador whose wife or ex-wife-to-be is Swedish. Dastardly thing for him to do.... ...notwithstanding, can ya'll at least imagine the stench of those cats. The plot thickens because these cats did not disappear into thin air. ... and for sure it wasn't the ambassador getting his hands dirty. His Arab driver enjoys hunting in his spare time...could he be 'le nettoyeur'? to be continued...
14. You call that Diplomacy?
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (07.20.10)
this calls into question the sanity of ALL people chosen to actually run the show
15. The diplomat is Marco in disguise, and he ran to Spain not
(07.20.10)
Latin America Why else would Marco be interested in this story
16. ....and the abandoned wife is Salma. Now they
(07.20.10)
are negotiating an agreement by posting on this website to each other
17. Marco, on was she Jewish
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.20.10)
No, she was probably Spanish.
18. Molteni ?
Andres ,   Buenos Aires, Argent   (07.20.10)
Your publication without a name makes you an irresponsable journalist. You are making a serious accusation that seems to be directed to the Argentinian Ambassador. Is this true ?
19. clear cut...
eporue ,   europe   (07.20.10)
probably it was him, who paid for the furniture and the jewellery... hope, the cats and dogs didnt suffer too much...
20. marco #8
jorge ,   mexico   (07.21.10)
your obsession with Jews and Israel is quite suspicious. You should check your DNA and relax for once.
21. YNET
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.21.10)
Why do you give a platform to the spaniard mad man marco, to spew his venom on the Jewish people and Israel,this antisemite is driven by hatred,this man is seriously emotioanally disturbed,criticism is healty but not by people who are full of hate.
22. Revenge = animal abuse???
Susan ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.21.10)
Maybe this guy hated all her cats/dogs and has disposed of them as revenge. Animal groups must get on this ASAP!!! Poor displaced kitties -- I'll bet they're just as distressed as the wife is!
23. So misinformed and jumping to conclusions...
JustVisiting ,   Israel   (07.21.10)
1. He's Argentinean. She's Swedish. Neither are Jewish. 2. It has less than nothing to do with the politics of Israel. 3. They aren't "her cats". They are feral cats that she has feeding stations for all over town. 4. Leaving her like he did is vindictive,but who knows the secrets that lie within the hearts of men? (...and women...) It's about marriage, not flotillas.
24. A disgusted woman
visitor ,   israel   (07.21.10)
Just a disgusted woman, taking revenge of his husband!!! Totally crazy woman if she cares more about 40, 40!!!! cats than anything else.
25. not objetive
Ernesto ,   israel   (07.21.10)
you say so, because you dont know how crazy can be his wife. sometimes you have to take hard decition to get read of the problem
26. To James Morrison
Monica ,   Herzlia Israel   (07.21.10)
The South AMerican Ambassador name is not identify as the story is not true. I know, and I am not the only one, where this disgusted woman´s stuff is packed ready to be deliver to her house. Her dogs (that is only one, as the other belongs the Ambassador) and 5 of her lovely cats are looked after by a girl she appointed until she would decide when she would be ready to come back home. So, you, as journalist, be careful with stories you would like to pick up.!!!
27. NOT TRUE AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
Nick   (07.21.10)
She was not ready to divorce him in spite that the issue was known. He gave her the money she asked for and all her stuff is ready to be deliver to her country. Please, let a couple to resolve their problems in private
28. contact
m ,   israel   (07.21.10)
as it seems you know a lot about this t, why dont you go and tell the wife what is going on...? as it seems you have good information
29. #26...and you, Monica, work for the...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.21.10)
...image of the Argentine Embassy, yes? ...or for the woman who requires stealth and anonymity for the private eyes to get her 47 cats back if they're still alive? (We're not talking about the strays she was feeding in the streets). Her pet food bill stood at 5000 NIS/month Why should this story be made up? It's perfectly plausible. What's your interest to suggest it's fictitious? Concur 99% with you, JustVisiting at #23.....but for you being oblivious to 47 moggies living inside their home. Needless to say, I'da bin long gawn before number 47
