2. the art-fake students are a sad phenomena but not mossad
uli ,   jerusalem   (10.03.10)
mossad would not be that stupid to use openly israelis
3. Sounds like the beginning of a blood libel
Frank P ,   Jerusalem   (10.03.10)
4. #2 - they're NOT a sad phenomena...
Evan ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (10.03.10)

9. Israelis asking about NSA center
William ,   Israel   (10.03.10)
most likely NOT mossad but probably some Israelis with high-tech experience from the army who want a job in the US. There are alot of people interested in new NSA centers - like vendors with high security IT products.
10. Perhaps they were working for the Chinese...
Chonny ,   Colorado, US   (10.03.10)
They're known to use similar coarse methods...
11. stupid/antisemitism
nicolesl ,   chicago, usa   (10.03.10)
this is just another example of A the stupidity of most american news stations (excluding FOX) B this is a TOTAL witchhunt from liberals -- considering mossad is amongst the best intelligence in the world it makes ZERO sense that they would be so obvious in revealing their covers--and if they did indeed ask "strange questions" are people not aloud to ask questions or is that only if they are jews "LIBERALS" are such hypocritical morons ! :) have a nice day! :) :)
12. What a great witch chasing exercise
Eran ,   Singapore   (10.03.10)
13. "He didn't look like a Mossad agent"
biggus dikkus ,   wome   (10.03.10)
maybe he did not look jewish either...ha ha ha what a joke. even the head of police in dubai does not know what a mossad agent looks like and here they ask some untrained woman
14. "....but the panic is spreading."
Cameron ,   USA   (10.03.10)
Oh please. Where did you come up with that line?
15. :: When Muslims do it, Americans are afraid to complain
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.03.10)
See what happened to Molly Nort in the era of B. Hussein, she needed to go into hiding because of Muslims, but Israeli students illegally as it may be have never harmed once the security of the US, much less terrorist attacks anywhere on this planet. This is the exclusive domain of Muslim students.
16. The press likes to jump to conclusions
JP Sutton ,   NYC USA   (10.03.10)
Some weeks ago a serial killer with an Israeli passport was arrested. The press never came right out and said the man was Jewish, but all the media jumped on the story, repeatedly referred to his being Israeli. When it turned out that he was an arab, suddenly the media went quiet. Now here we go again. "Israeli" does not automatically equal Jewish and it most assuredly does not automatically equal Mossad. I trust that when the truth comes out and these people turn out to be arabs that YNET, ABC, and all the other media will give the story equal coverage. (Remember that there are a million or so arab Israelis.) The fact that the FBI refused comment is telling. What exactly does the FBI think these guys are up to -- casing the area for future terrorist attacks? It would certainly fit the pattern.
17. spies
Count Dracula ,   Los Angeles   (10.03.10)
This isn't new. A few years ago these people were everywhere with the same mission. Once the questions were asked they all disappeard practically overnight. They were in and out of government facilities everywhere. Mossad spies may be an overreach but they are for sure an organized group collecting information.
18. ABC newsreport.If it is an Israeli, he would be
David ,   USA   (10.03.10)
A Mossad agent. About 50 were involved in one assassination in Dubai. Now thousands are selling fake art in Utah. I wonder how many are working for the Mossad? maybe half of Israel. LOL
19. Another reporter wanting to earn a buck at Israel's expense.
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.03.10)
20. Not Mossad
John   (10.03.10)
That's not how the Mossad collects intelligence. Mossad officials are having a good laugh right about now.
21. Those are spies??
Janet Hopstein   (10.03.10)
It appears they're about as worthless as spies as they are qualified artists. Maybe that's why they started hawking pictures you normally find decorating a Sunoco gas station Sunday morning.
22. No. 16 JP Sutton
NYC Girl   (10.03.10)
You're absolutely right. The "Israeli serial killer" story did a disappearing act in what must have been record once it was determined the suspect was an Israeli Arab. Whatever happened to the motto the American media lives by, "If it bleeds...it leads?"
23. What an utterly ridiculous story
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (10.03.10)
As if actual Mossad agents would pose as broke Israeli students who sell crap art. As if actual Mossad agents need to actually ASK locals about the NSA. Must be awfully boring in Utah these days for this to make headlines.
24. This is nothing, as I have heard, that
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.03.10)
Usama bin Laden and a lot of Taliban have relocated to a cave in the Rockies...
25. art spies
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (10.03.10)
What else can one expect from the CIA' (criminals in action ) or the FBI (fumbling,bumbling incompetents )
26. Noted down: Israel students spying-Stop all Tourism with Isr
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (10.03.10)
Israeli tourists shall either kill or spy or sell heroins It is totally harmful to receive Israeli Zionist tourists.
27. no.26
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (10.03.10)
Turke,s loss (tourist revenue) is Cyprus gain ,sorry for you?
28. The Mossad needs to question people on the street...right
uh huh   (10.03.10)
"church newsletters" - that says it all
29. Interesting story...with past parallels
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (10.03.10)
Prior to the 9/11 bombing of the World Trade Cntr.in New York, other groups of Israeli 'art' sellers were noticed in the US asking questions about US intelligence and other security agencies. Frankly, if these Israeli 'students' are selling anything within the US while on tourist visas, they should be deported for violating the terms of their visas. I wonder why this isn't happening. Is history repeating itself?
30. ABC
Hillis ,   Florida   (10.03.10)
It's best to disregard what ABC has to say about Israel.Their initials stand for A Bunch of Crap.
