31. #19 also refuses to hire irish today.. whats your point?
(03.31.11)
forever a victim complex?? dude?
32. 2 faced Brits dont like Isr
David ,   USA   (03.31.11)
What is new?? The Bloody Brits prefer the terrorist Pales. over the JEWS. UK media is very anti-Israel and has never been a friend to Israel or JEWS.
33. @22
Andrew M ,   Leeds, UK   (03.31.11)
1. A lot of Israeli law is also based on Ottoman law, which the Brits carried forward during the Mandate. Are you planning to write a 'Thank you' letter to Mr. Erdogan? 2. The Brits reneged on the Balfour Declaration big time, so this is hardly anything for them to crow about (see: Sykes-Picot Agreement and beyond) 3. Again, I think you'll find a fair proportion of the coastal network was laid by the Turks. Even so, the only rail line worth a damn runs from TA to Modiin, and was built fairly recently by Israelis. In short, your response is a bit thin frankly.
34. fake passports
DocHolliday ,   Trinidad   (03.31.11)
We call it ”double standard.” The British came down on Mossad Agents for using fake passports of British citizenry recently in the aledge assassination & now they (the SAS of the UK) were captured in Libya for doing the same.. What a shame MI6.. Shame on you Mr Dearlove... Double standard
35. #12 Well Said !1
Rene ,   Vancouver, Canada   (03.31.11)
What a refreshingly pithy "talkback" comment.
36. What the Brits gave Israel...
Ron Rico ,   Florida USA   (03.31.11)
1. Kingdom of Jordan 2. The Arab legion 3. Glubb Pasha and other British officers who conducted ethnic cleansing of Jews 4. The White paper and the naval blockade preventing Jew's escape from the holocaust 5. The hate-spreading BBC 6. The manure-spreading British Foreign Office and much more... Now, isn't it time we gave something back?
37. No news here, Britain is the Israel's WORST enemy
Jake ,   USA   (03.31.11)
Don't fool yourself into thinking otherwise. Britain is the single biggest enemy of Israel. The Arab states pose no threat to Israel. Britain on the other hand constantly undermines Israel, and just 63 years ago led the Arab invasion of Israel. This story shouldn't surprise anyone.
38. MI6 - not what they used to be
Eddie ,   london UK   (03.31.11)
James Bond is a work of fiction. British intelligence has shown to be seriously lacking, especially when there were London bombings. The other issue is that UK is in bed with the Arab nations, and has oil interests around the region. they have conflict of interests when it comes to helping Israel.
39. yeah,
jj   (03.31.11)
this is outrageous because we all know how mossad tells MI6 everything! yeah right.
40. #26 - never said he wasn't successful
Pro-Israel Brit ,   Britain   (03.31.11)
just that he was insane and nobody trusted him to use the available intelligence wisely. There is more to intelligence than sending agents around the world garotting people. His mishandling of intelligence relationships may cost Israel in the long run.
41. JESUSALEN
JESUSALEN ,   JESUSALEN   (03.31.11)
live for you rather than me by a i love you i the game to die and i can not say i was against a fist with my nose for my pride another scar and i can not say put down my head and i went with the certainty that a man can die for love and you still playing a word in your head if someone kicks you if you kick someone no talisman i am going to a sea without end and anywhere if not say yes and i can not say another way we have to continue there is something stronger that we can feel today not what i can tell put down my head by an I love me the game to die and you can not say
42. EX-MI6
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (03.31.11)
A Jew named Teddy Kolek,and a Jewish woman,informed the British authorities that Kim Philby,the chief counter inteligence of British Inteligence,is a soviet spy and is trying to recruit people to the soviet spy net,the 2 Jews were ignored because you can't trust Jews,later Kim philby defected to the soviet onion, and was given the rank of General in the KGB.
43. Mossad can play that game
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.31.11)
Sure do hope that the Brits are up to snuff for the Royal Wedding. Any chatter that comes the Mossad's way won't come MI6"s way. Amazing how the U.K. still seems to think it's still an Empire. It's not. Truth be told, it's not even a player.
44. Hey, M, give us James Bond!
Eli ,   Raanana   (03.31.11)
...and we're the winners!
45. Here we go again..........
Mike Carmel ,   Rishon le Zion   (03.31.11)
Yet another opportunity for all you losers to spout your baseless pathetic anti-British wrath. Get over it and grow up. It's the job of MI6 to look after British interests, not Israeli sensitivities.
46. #27 full of shit
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.31.11)
Not one single intel has EVER been passed to the Soviets from Israel. The source was AMERICAN double agents. Richard Ames made the claim and was the person supplying the data to the Soviets. You are lying moron
47. god forbid
(03.31.11)
that the brits gave israeli mossad information that is vital for lossad to protect israel against terrorism, often eminating from the british muslim community. god forbid that england give valuable information to israel that can save the lives of many many israeli jews. after all, engand will like nothing better than to see dead jews...just like the british mandate did to jews and holocaust survivors during the mandate. they imprisoned survivors in antlit that was like coming from a ocncentration camp right into a british prison in palestine where jewish inmates, already decimated from hunger and abuse, died of thyphus in those british prisons....where english soldiers collaborated with the arab antisemites of palestine in killing jews there and where england forbade entry into palestine to the decimated holocaust survivors and refugees whom no one wanted to accept, not even america. the brits encouraged arab migration into what is now israel in the 30's but refused the jewish survivors and refuhees to enter and put a quota on the numbers that can enter while the arabs enjoyed free flow into palestine unhindred and with greater numbers. the brits are totally antisemitic for centuries. it is a gene in their god forsaken blood and they are the most perfidous nation on the planet.
48. A POINT YOU'RE MISSING
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (03.31.11)
There seems to be a lot of uncalled for anti-Britain sentiment here.Frankly,I doubt that the British are anti-Israel any more than they are anti-any other country.They have sympathy for people whom they see to be the underdogs and suffering.That's my experience,anyway. The British government is another thing altogether.Israel never fares well when there's a Labour government in office in Britain.Dearlove was reporting the state of affairs during the previous New Labour government: "I was quite frequently in discussion with Robin Cook as foreign secretary about what should or shouldn't be passed to our Israeli colleagues..." This was during the time when Tony Blair was PM and he and his cronies didn't miss an opportunity to tell the House of Commons and the British public that Israel is the root cause of all the troubles in the Middle East . Well,recent events all over the region are showing what lies that was. Don't throw your abuse at the British people who are just innocent bystanders.Keep it for Tony Blair,Gordon Brown,Jack Straw and the rest of the New Labour cronies who heartily deserve it. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
49. 45 - You are right on, but this forum is like
Donna   (03.31.11)
Likud meeting, waste of time preaching to the quire.
50. the tanach says...
galut ,   selah   (03.31.11)
as the end of the age approaches... ALL nations will be arrayed against israel and the only ally israel will be able to depend on is G-d ezeckiel chapters 37- 39 israel must have no illusions when push comes to shove man made treaties and covenants will fail them.
51. Different set of rules...?
Gabriel ,   Jerusalem   (03.31.11)
Perhaps we also live with a different set of circumstances in our neighbourhood. I'm not going to expand on that, but I will just have to leave it to imagination.
52. 43 - Oh no, what we are going to fo now without Mossad help?
MI6 ,   London, UK   (03.31.11)
Who will falsify our passports? Who will stop our citizens in their airports and borrow their passports for several hours? We are in deep shit now, we apologize, we will tell you everything you want to know. Please forgive us.
53. # 48
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.31.11)
Right, the British labour party is known to be anti-Israel. I happend to know quite a few British Jews & non-Jews who are anti-Israel & totally on the side of the pallies. Britain needs to clean her own back yard before she sticks her long nose into the affairs of Israel.
54. # 45
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.31.11)
Mike, do you happen to know how you would go about applying for a British passport in Israel? & extending your passport when it expires? (The new rules)
55. # 18
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.31.11)
"It was well known that Meir Dagan was insane" This is a slanderous statement. Back this up will you, show us the proof you have.
56. # 27
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.31.11)
Delusional, slanderous,pathetic gossip. You dont know what you're talking about.
57. no. 52, you'll pee in your pants
Mossad ,   Jewish Temple Mount   (03.31.11)
58. that's a lion of Judah on their seal
Roland ,   Miami Beach, Fl   (03.31.11)
The Unicorn maybe has something to do with India.
59. Different set of rules?
Mike, UK ,   Oxford UK   (04.01.11)
3 IRA members gunned down in cold blood in Gibraltar - ruled unlawful by EU court of Justice... British use of Fake Passports in Libya last month... Occupation of Iraq and Afganistan and mistreatement of innocent civilians... I guess he's right... Israel could not get away with half of what UK can!
60. if we read between the lines
Roland ,   Miami Beach, Fl   (04.01.11)
perhaps it means that UK was intrumental for al-Baradey who changed his mind at gunpoint. Israel also has its friends in Egypt.
