'Israelis no longer allowed in Dubai after Hamas hit'

The former head of the US Air force Intelligence was quoted that the intelligence received from Israel could not have been obtained if the US had 5 CIA's!

Jesus that was a long post, you might wish to learn the various benefits of using paragraphs (or is that smugly done on purpose?). BTW Iraq is not a "state" it's actually a country. Honestly, dude it doesn't work, you can copy and paste an Arab dude who after much soul searching finds he loves Israel and decides to rant negatively about Islam a second later... these copy and paste jobs are becoming quite common these days.. Do you actually think you are fooling anybody at all Mr Zionist??

I enjoy taking the like or lack of minded creatures who exhort lies, half truths & revisionist history to task. saying the stern gang introduced terror in the mid-east is not only a proven lie for instance but shows that persons total ignorance of history. some even pretend to be CIA or some other wishful thinking outfit that "QUALIFIES THEM AS EXPERT" You are not & I can see through the likes of you like a cheap comic book. Jews have been around the Mid-east before christians & moslems even existed, How do I know this? By checking out the 5 billion plus best seller tome of all time.....THE BIBLE. My peoples mandate for the land , religion & yes existence on this planet. The old testament now. that is original.

comparing a nuked country to end ww2 over taking land in defensive wars is obsene & beyond ignorant. I have a 6 MILLION WORD DOCUMENT listing gentle atrocities against Jews. Top that !

The discussion of who committed the worst and most atrocities is about as an irrelevant and worthless subject as I can think of. I mentioned the Stern Gang only in response to your sarcastic, feigning implication to Ronen that you didnt know who the Stern Gang was. Now you know. You threaten, "dont get me started," re CIA spying on Israel and, "you aint seen nothing yet," re atrocities. Don't get started. You know nothing about the world of espionage, and I possess a document over 2,000 words listing Jewish attacks and massacres of Palestinians. Its a waste of time, but don't go on about Arab killings of Jews. You should worry, though, about your possible inability to apply moral judgement to acts like atomic bombing of Japan to end WWII, and Stern Gang killings of Arabs to facilitate taking their land.

Which topic are you interested in discussing The USA nuking 2 Japanese cities full of civilians or kamakazies? out of existence. as well as firebombing Dresden Germany killing over 100,000 civilians or did we misstake them for generals? The Mai Lai massacre in Nam as agent oranging their forests. The Christmas bombing Cambodia. delousing the Laosians. Abu ghrab prison tortures & well as killing way too many civilians in Iraq & not a single world rebuke. Next post will be on Arab atrocities before the howard STERN GANG was born. Stick around, you aint seen nothing yet:)

To help you understand the unreliability, even falsity, of info you read about CIA and Mossad, your claim of CIA paying American officers (presumably military) to spy on Israel is an excellent example. Military officers in any country are interested in tactical information, which they note and report to the superiors. That is all they have access to: personality data on host country officers, weight capacity of bridges, sources of water and such things that armies care about in the field. None of that is of the slightest interest to CIA. CIA collects strategic intelligence. If the US were to break the agreement (that Israel violates) and turn CIA loose against Israel, CIA would target on Mossad and Shin Bet to recruit penetrations agents. It would target the staff of the Prime Ministers office, military officers with access to Israeli long range planning, officers in the MFA, and definitely Israeli diplomats around the world. In one year, Israel would be shot full of CIA agents.

I am a bit surprised ron did not throw the LIBERTY INCIDENT in 1967 at mine & other faces here. HMMM.....why did the Johnson administration want that episode covered up? Mr resident expert take it away... the howard STERN GANG is so 1940's :) lets get up to the present as the past tit for tat will go on & on & i will bury you arguments with ease.

Thought you might enjoy these memories of the Stern gang. November 6, 1944. The Stern Gang, assassinated the British Minister Resident in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in Cairo. September 3, 1947. A box addressed to the British War Office exploded in the sorting room in London, injuring 2 persons. It was attributed to Irgun or Stern Gangs. (The Sunday Times, Sept. 24, 1972, p.8) March 3, 1948. A 400 lb bomb damaged an Arab-owned building in Haifa and killed 11 Arabs, 3 Armenians and injured 23. The Stern Gang claimed responsibility. March 22, 1948. A housing block in Haifa was blown up by the Stern gang killing 17 and injuring 100 others. April 9, 1948. A combined force of Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang, captured the Arab village of Deir Yassin and killed more than 200 unarmed civilians, including women and children. Older men and young women were captured and paraded in chains in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem; 20 of the hostages were then shot in the quarry of Gevaat Sha

Please don't believe some expose in moment, whatever that is. CIA would have no interest in paying American military officers to collect intelligence. They do that as part of their job and report to the Defense Dep't., not CIA. Defense Dep't, would have no part of that. Iranians got no classified info from Embassy takeover in 1979, it was all shredded. The CIA station chief was not captured in the takeover. If there were documents about Mossad, they would not be in the Tehran station. No SR 71 was ever lost anywhere. You can find that out yourself. Why write if you haven't done that? Neither you, nor anyone else not holding a KH11 clearance would know what targets KH11 collected against. The clearance for access to KH11 production is only selectively allocated even within CIA. I have never known of KH11 collection against allied countries. Why would there be? Its a waste of film. I don't wish to get you started, if you are going to repeat this type of hearsay and gossip mongering.

Whatever you career path, CPA, bank manager, salesman, stick to it. Not being in the business, you are unable to discern reliable information from hearsay and gossip. Writers about CIA and the world of espionage, have no access to classified information, thus their info is never, rpt never, reliable, unless CIA wants something to become public. In your case, you are terribly confused. Hanssen did not state anything about Israel and the Soviets. He knew nothing of such things. He was not the most damaging spy in US history: that was the Rosenbergs, or John A. Walker Jr. Hanssen did not compromise CIA recruitments in the KGB, he wouldnt know that info. Aldrich Ames, who worked in the CI staff of the Soviet Division of the Clandestine Service gave away identities of 10 CIA penetration agents in the KGB: all were executed. CIA director, Bill Casey, said Pollard passed Mossad US war plans against the USSR, and the Israelis sold them to the USSR for more exit visas for Soviet Jews.

The Pollard info selling to the soviets is a bald face lie & The FBI traitor HANSEN, you remember him? is the one with that disinformation. yeah the BIGGEST & most DAMAGING spy case in USA history, used Pollard as an excuse instead it was him who sold out the CIA & others to their deaths. There was an expose in moment magazine about some American officers who were paid very well to spy on israel & were quietly kicked out from the late 1970's & early 1980's. Lets not forget the Iranians getting classified documents about the Mossad from the CIA station chief in Tehran as the embassy was overrun. The SR 71 blackbird was nearly shot down by Israeli phantoms during the 73 war flying over Dimona. I know about that one too. KH 11 & other sattalites taking license plate readable plus photos of every sensitive military installation without permission. Do not get me started.

You obviously know that I have no interest in your views of my CIA background. I served 25 years as an operations officer in the Clandestine Service. Six of those years in Middle East operations. I am comfortable writing that because these postings do no reveal my true name nor place of residence. More about Mossad: according to the FBI and the Dept of Justice, Israel is the 2nd most aggressive nation running espionage operations in the US. China is first. Mossad pitched (tried to recruit) the US DCM (Deputy Chief of Mission) in Tel Aviv, and when he rejected the pitch they kicked him out of the country. They repeatedly broke into the homes of CIA officers in Tel Aviv. That ceased when one of the entry teams was caught. They have passed info from Pollard to the Soviets. We do not run operations against Israel. US, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel have an agreement not to conduct intelligence operations against each other. Only Israel violates it

You just lost all credibility by claiming to be a CIA officer. Actually you were full of beans prior to this but give you the benefit of the doubt. You personally have no real expertise of the Mossad any more than i do.To even claim again they are not players in the field is a fantasy in your mind without any proof backing this up. Im waiting with baited breath. As for me being another Pollard, do not worry. I have no capacity to churn up classified info that will harm this nation in any way shape or form. Nor would i if i could. The fact that he still rots in prison to this day does tell me hit has something against our govt that will prove to be very embarrassing & dishonest about our intentions toward Israel. This is a 2 way street & Americans have spied against Israel already before Pollard. You already know that now dont ya?

The professionals I quote were, admittedly limited: officers of the BND, MI-6 and SDECE, and my own meetings with Mossad as a CIA officer. Nice guys, polite, well-educated, didn't speak the language of the country we were in, and seemed to be seriously uninformed about local political players behind the scenes. To laugh at the designation "second rate," is understandable for someone looking at the business from the outside. Mossad has conducted some professional operations, mostly against the US target, but you have no perspective to compare them with the major intelligence services in the world. They are not effective against Islamic terrorist organizations. CIA doesn't consider Mossad a player in that field. But, don't ever dream of becoming another Pollard: Mossad isn't professional enough to ensure you won't eventually end up in prison.

The British couple who will serve a month jail time for the AUDACITY TO KISS & HOLD HANDS IN PUBLIC are the one's behind the hammas hit! No one here has nothing to say about the untolernt,sexist,racist,slave driven society of Dubai otherwise?

You quote most "intelligence professionals" cosider Mossad second rate is laughable at best. Who are these so called "professionals?" Isael not only survies, but thrives in spite of the overwhelming odds for the past 60 plus years! I believe The Mossad based on declassifeid info has pulled many amazing feats that are the envy of the world.For a tiny nation & a Jewish population les than 1% of the world, They have an amazing track record in comparision to everybody else. I am largely very proud of the them. May these heroes continue.

My, "it is clear Mossad did it," was written with tongue in cheek. There is no smoking Mossad gun for Dubai hit. The post was designed to point out that Jews think Mossad did it, because they all write either: no proof about Mossad, or they attack Dubai. As mentioned, not one criticism of assassins (because they think it was Mossad.) The only serious comment was that Mossad is overrated. You said it is the opposite, but you know nothing about Mossad. Most intelligence professionals consider Mossad, small, under-financed (compared to major power services) and second rate. After Iraq invasion, US Senate Intel committee, and the Knesset, stated most of the intel Mossad had passed to US was false. CIA statement was "Israeli intel assistance is sometimes of dubious value, and at lack of quality was appalling." "Mossad doesn't know its Arab enemies."... "Arab political intel is lousy, laughably bad...it was gossip stuff mostly." "... They often pass faulty, misleading intel."

Innocent until proven guilty. You say it is "CLEAR" the Mossad did it. You & other detracters have a long way to go to prove it. It took these clowns over a week to figure out how this guy died. They aso said some agents fled to Iran & about 30 people in all are involved. So no arrests except some 2 or 3 palestinians! no Jews arrested. & just about no European nation "involved" will do anything anyway. They even said so. Who is the CIA spokesman who said the Mossad is overated? It is the opposite pal. 911 was proof positve that the CIA was asleep at the wheel among other screwups. This is a false flag operation & my main suspect is Iran. They needed to embarress the Mossad due to their penetration of its nuke program and occasional sabatage murder of its personal involved.

The stern gang introduce terror ? Are you refering to HOWARD STERN'S gang? Is this gang over 2000 years old? Arabs never practicing terror before them is is like saying there will be peace in the mid east! What serious meds are you on???

Have you never heard of the Stern Gang? They introduced terrorism and murder to the Middle East.

It has become clear that Mossad carried out the hit in Dubai, for two reasons. Every Jew who has written about this (1) either insists there is no proof Mossad was involved or (2) attacks Dubai: Dubai harbored the terrorist; Dubai police are clowns; they are Arabs , what do you expect; Dubai wants the publicity; etc., etc, ad nauseam. Not one rpt not one, attacks those who violated the sovereignty of friendly nations by stealing or forging their passports, violated the sovereignty of the UAE and its criminal laws by murdering someone on its soil. Not one criticism. There are several pertinent facts all should know. 1. Mossad is overrated. e.g. "CIA spokesman said Mossad intel on Arab targets is lousy, laughable, mostly hearsay," 2. 30 people could be needed: mobile surveillance from the airport, stake outs in several hotels,etc. 3. Several credit cards used linked to the company Payoneer. The company is owned by former IDF special ops member, backed financially by an Israeli company.

Wasn't he traveling on a forged passport? If Dubai police had arrested him and sent him to Israel the worst sentence that an Israeli court could have given him was life in prison! Too bad there's no extradition treaty. Sadder still is this situation where so many words are wasted on the death of a terrorist rather than on the actions he commited that earned him this punishment.

The problem with the Dubai?s Arab stance toward Israel in general is that they have never once thought of talking civily to Israel. First is to attack, then after defeat not to talk. They can't climb down from the tree he and his fellow Arab leaders are in because it to them is a sign of weakness. Weakness in the Middle East is a death warrant. Too bad for the common citizens of these countries. They will suffer in a "Groudhogs Day" like world for the forseeable future

I wonder how many Hamas people were involved in. the. ...operation, and how many Iranians? After all, he had worked for these two collaborating forces who probably found him to be unreliable anymore and therefore redundant, thus the killing and the flight back to: e.g., Jordan, Iran and most likely to Syria and Gaza as well.! The fact that Hamas insists on "investigating" the case is so telling!!!

Some FLED TO IRAN? Dubai police said some hit squad members fled to Iran after the assassination Seriously, folks. Does anybody still believe that Mossad and Israel had anything to do with this whole affair? It is the Dubai police that is controlling the release of all the information. I am starting to believe the whole scenario was manufactured in Dubai. After all, they are reaping all the publicity. As for what al-Mabhouh was doing in Dubai, what can I say? What happens in Dubai stays in Dubai! Any more people it would sound like a State Banquet no an assasiantion This Dubai cop studied under Inspector Clouseau

they insulted their own intelligence because maybe, just maybe, Mossad didn't do it and it was planned to make it look as much like Mossad did it as possible. Why would Mossad purposefully leave so much incriminating evidence and a trail that leads back to them and do such a sloppy job as to almost make it APPEAR(keyword) that it was Mossad who did this? Nah, Mossad would do the opposite. This was most likely an Arab plot to smear Israel. Simple minded infidels. lol.

The reason is,that the aformentioned countries you wrote on is where the Jihadists are TRAINED.Even in good ole UK,but being caught regularely.As for Africa:Don't you know there are tousands who come from there having trained and try to carry out their terrorism. Now don't give us your version of events. That Israel is one the best in the whole world on this is no surprise. Nevertheless,Mossad was not in this bungled plot for sure. I mean neding 30 persons to carry it out? Give us a break. I must say Dubai is getting free PR not deserved

To be frank I have to say that I am an atheist moslem but after 2003 the sunni , shiite etc has become to be recognized as a nationality rather than mere faith, its like saying israelis are Jews whereas Judaism a faith is regarded as a nationality, because the appropriate term would be the Hebrews. you ungrateful Palestinians are a menace and that is why when you live among other middle easterners they can see your psychological deficiencies are clearly evident when saddam brought your loser people into Iraq and handed you an entire neighborhood in Haifa street Baghdad and paid you more than his own people what did you do you betrayed our courtesy, in lebanon you did the same when Iraq was isolated by the international community the arab world turned on us first I dont see why Iraqi ever got involved with any war against Israel and we owe the Israelis an apology because obviously the Israelis are not the enemy but the arabs are our enemy and Israel's nuclear program is not erected to attack anyone and let's be honest if they wanted to attack anyone they can take Jordan in less than 2 hours, but its merely self defense, we attack them and they keep silent but they can only be silent for a while, and they need to show us that we should back off or else. Thats a fact and we must admit our own mistakes before we criticize others, I was born in 1980 and Israel was there and Iraq does not have any border disputes with Israel, there are many Israeli citizens of Iraqi descent whom we drove away in a nasty and cruel manner and the ones that remained here either converted to Islam like my grandparents did so that they could keep their properties and business without being harassed or they fled to Europe. and Israel has the right to exist you tell me and bring me on word in the Koran that says the people of Palestine????? it always mentions BENI ISRAEL the people of Israel and that land is the land of the Hebrews, and If I were a palestinian i would not mind being a citizen of Israel and enjoy the benefits of a modern civilized society and gain my rights by means of communication and mutual interests and not by bloodshed and murdering people, you would have one state called Israel where Hebrew and Arabic become the official languages and you enjoy the same benefits and lets be honest 90% of Israelis are atheist Jews anyway and they dont care how and wether you pray or not and Israelis , Jews are no one's enemy we only demonize them as such because we are jealous and envious of them, because they achieved alot the past 62 years and we still live in the dark ages. and yes in Iraq today sunni is identified as a nationality, come and see for yourself all the separation walls and if I were to walk into a shiite neighborhood I would most likely get shot for being sunni and having a non shiite name and they can tell by your looks no one will as if I practice the religion or not they dont even care if I dont pray and if I am a sunni by name only the title itself is enough for them. all I am saying and promoting is a three state solution in my country because we have proven to ourselves that we cannot live together so end it peacefully why kill people I dont want violence nor bloodshed and all I want is that they leave us alone and our culture differs from the shiite culture and I cant accept anyone imposing their beliefs and lifestyles on me, why should I deal with their beliefs and make those traditions part of my life when I am used to live differently why should I stop drinking alcohol or wear shorts when its 60 degrees and why should my sister not life a free modern life and wear what she likes even if this doesnt conform to shiite culture.

Why would Jordan or Egypt want the man dead? And why use all those Israeli passports?

13:03 Hamas: Jordan or Egypt likely behind Dubai hit (Haaretz)

so a few Mossad agents are became 11 and now 26 and now within a has reached into 30, this clearly is the Mossad Brady Bunch operation and for what? some loser like Mabhouh? this is funny Israelis would never ever and they never have carried out such an absurd assassination this is silly and the more I read about it the sillier this whole fiasco is beginning to unfold in hilarious ways. and now these perpetrators fled to Iran BINGO now you know that good old Mahmood Nejad is behind it, no wonder, I didn't want to say this before but the whole plot can only relate to amateurs and morons like the Iranians who kill people and they even have grudges against statues in Baghdad thats why they blew them up, oh well

can themselves get in and disappeared. If so then all that money we are spending on SECURITY for the american people is just being WASTED . Now let the SECURITY Forces show us What are their capabilities, and the way they are using our TAX MILLIONS.

What a dumb comment. al Mabhouh traveled and entered Dubai on a false passport. If you wish to use that criterion, then Dubai also harbored the assassins by letting them enter the country on false passports. If Dubai pretends to be part of the civilized world by allowing al Habhouh to enter their country on a false passport, what part of the world are the assassins pretending to be?

On a ship. AMAZING!!!

from Dubai? Tell us more...

Wow. People are so Anti Jewish they will not consider the possibility of Mossad being set up. What about those agents who flew to Iran?

wrong. most of the benefit-betrayers here come on arab passports, having multiple identies. all (the arab) suicide bombers, attackers were paid by some arab "institution", which was legal in their countries and financially supported by officials. go away with your warped, hateful logic.

there was a secret service action, no emirati tourist or citizen was harmed or ever in danger. as a consequence mr. tamim bans a whole national - without supplying any proof so far. in your rhetoric, mr. tamim, you try to bring the europe countries into your boat of "humiliation". nobody asked you to do this, and nobody wants you to do this. stop that. we have seen here the mess "your arab citizens" leave often enough. all the civilizians killed by purpose or without taking care. while they studied and lived here - on the taxpayers support. or those betrayers - we know in the 6-digits-numbers - who come with multiple passports form arab countries in order to gain social benefits on each of them, for years and years ? just a question, mr. tamim & Arab Inter-parliamentary Union (AIPU): arent we insulted much more ? with your logic, do you suggest we ban those nations ? im looking forward to your meeting, your decision and reasoning.

And Rabin merely stated same with his departure.

immolators waiting to catch a jumbo jet full of innocent civillians or just radicals full of jihadist hatred courtesy of violence preachers in Britain? Ditto for France Belgium etc Ghaddafi has called for jihad against Switzerland, thank you Switzerland for the coming fallout.

no one else has. Out of interest, is that all Israelis?

allow only one passport to be held by an individual and all these problems will be solved.

Apartheid defined. This chmop is hanging yellow star on every Jewish guy, with full state baking. Livni is correct. Mabhouh was on the wanted list. Unfortunately there are nations harboring guys like Bin Laden. Interestingly those nations have common inclination towards Israel... Goldstone hurts no Israel, just those who seek protection from Bin Laden's family. Just watch who does not like Israelis in their countries.

Now would you like to tell me why the USA's CIA, Britain's MI5 and 6, France's Deuxieme Bureau, Russia's KGB and every "Mukhabarat" you can think of should have been allowed to fraudenently use the passports of other nationalities, as they have done many times? And what makes them so special that they can completely disregard International Law? And why you only get your knickers in a knot when the Mossad is accused of doing the same thing? BTW, there is still nothing to prove whodunnit.

10 days ago, on this very Talkback, I asked what had happened to the 2 (or 3) Palestinians who were detained in connection with this case. So far, still no answers. Why?

kennedy was also murdered--by a communist sympethiser. his brother, robert, was murdered by a palestinian.

i am quite certain that dubai has no idea what killed him. they have no idea either who the real identity of the killer is. however, if israel managed to improve her deterrence, all the better.

Mahmoud and Khameini can go to hell. Mousavi won that election.

no collateral civilian damage caused in taking out this terrorist - known for travelling on several different passports and identities himself...Dubai knew this full well.

Oh shit! I forgot. It's OK when Israel does it, huh? EVERYTHING is "OK" when Israel does it.

For the sake of the Israeli People you must condemn that it occured in Dubai! I would.

General Rabin was murdered by a Likudnik for trying to make peace with Palestine. The photoshoped pictures of General Rabin in a Nazi SS Uniform were the essential part of the Likud campaign. What was Israel's response to the murder of Rabin? It elected Likud, the party which murdered Rabin, to power. And since the extreme right has ruled in Israel, the nation which rewarded the murder of General Rabin with control. . . Ok, so we don't get anything wrong, let us test this hypothesis. Was Amir a follower of Labor or Likud? And what party has won not only the following election, but most since? Israelis have forgotten not only what General Rabin did, and stood for. . . They have forgotten what they have done. Amir was a 'throwaway' a discard, on the road to Likud Rule. Which it does.

A very interesting article. The reporter seems to know more about the crime going on in Dubai than the police chief does; perhaps it's because the chief is chasing chimeras while the real criminals thrive under his nose. "To many, Jain is the latest, perhaps the biggest, example that proves the United Arab Emirates is not so much awash with vast oil wealth but built on a toxic tide of illicit cash: a place where Russian mafia and drug cartels clean their dirty cash and al‑Qaida finances terror atrocities. And at its heart is Dubai, a world financial centre that in the past 15 years has grown exponentially."

Long ago, forty years or more ago, Israel thought what the world though mattered. Now Israel holds the entire world in contempt and thinks that what the world thinks of Israel s contemptible. A half-century ago, and more, Israel wanted to be accepted by the world as a competent, decent and accepted member of the United Nations. Now Israel wants to tell the world to fugg off, go to Hell, and screw you. To us ancients of the world, who remember the past, this is an astounding change in position. A refutation of what Israel sought with such diligence and dedication in the 1950s and 1960s. Even into the 1970s. But that attitude, the one that wanted to have Israel accepted as a decent nation in a world of decent nations has vanished in Israel. Perhaps it's last existence was the Peace Treaty signed with Egypt. Most certainly it was with the Peace Treaty signed with Jordan. Certainly it ended when a Likudnik assassinated General Rabin for trying toertain make peace with Palestine.

What will come next? what will happen to Israelis in UAE? A country spokesman is a police chief and all agree to that, including other countries.

The attempts of the totally deluded to deny reality are pathetic. Has it not influenced ANY of you loony tunes that Israel has not denied the accusation it was behind the hit of as asshole that ONLY Israel would want to hit?

"Its very good move. Israel needs to have more sanctions from all over the world since it is the last country with an Apartheid system.Its very good move. Israel needs to have more sanctions from all over the world since it is the last country with an Apartheid system." - John I have lived in the Segregated South. That was an Apartheid System. Israel is not, though it seems determined to achieve it in the occupied territories. "Iran acquiring nuclear weapons would soften the heart of Israelis." - John It would accomplish nothing. "I am sure the editors of Haaretz would agree." - John I don't want to know what you are smoking and I don't want any.

Counting down the seconds until this little tempest in a teapot fizzles out. Don't think so? Try asking one of the outraged souls the name of the guy who was eliminated. Bet most of them couldn't do it without looking at their notes.

It is not hard to identify a Netanyahu follower. There is an idiotic expression, drooling, and incomprehensible speech. There is mindless aggression without any restraint. There is reckless behavior without any thought of the consequences. Netanyahu followers engage in idiotic flights of juvenile fantasy marked by belief in omnipotence and invulnerability. Netanyahu supporters are - in any sane civilization - committed to insane asylums where they cannot harm their society. In the insane asylum known as Israel, they rule.

I guess it is possible. Dubai forged dozens of foreign passports, recruited British, Irish, French, German, Australian and Israeli people to pull off a whack in Dubai, and then accuses Israel? What have you folks been smoking? And can I have some? It must be pretty good dope because most of you are totally out of touch with reality. The Netanyahu Government has assured Israelis that there was no consequences from it's actions. The actions it assure there were no consequences from it has not denied. There have been consequences. Dubai wants to slam the formerly open door to Israelis shut. England and Australia are engaged in criminal investigations. Other criminal investigations are coming. . . But, the Netanyahu government is adamant. There are no consequences arising from it's actions. Were Benjamin Netanyau and and Avigdor Lieberman 18 years old I would understand that their unformed and childish minds had led them to commit rash and irrational acts without any thought . .

How does some little police chief in a backwards arab city become a "Lt Gen"?? Idi Amin made himself one,Ghadaffi also,it's easy to sew on rank badges,but harder to earn them.. This clown is a joke..

Check out Western embassies internet sites for visa requirements and see for yourself the level of discrimination against African, Asian, S. American and E. European nationals. Dubai is politically correct because the Mossad are not a private contractor. The Mossad is part of the Israeli government who represents the Israeli people.

Interesting article about Dubi in the Guardian. Fears are intensifying that the emirate has become a global centre for terror funding, money-laundering, drug money and mafia cash http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jan/24/dubai-crime-money-laundering-terrorism

Its very good move. Israel needs to have more sanctions from all over the world since it is the last country with an Apartheid system. Iran acquiring nuclear weapons would soften the heart of Israelis. I am sure the editors of Haaretz would agree.

Former president Bush has stated "either you are with us or against us in the war on terror" and any nation that harbors terrorists is a legitimate target. Well UAE guess what? If Mossad did this targerted liquidation then Isreal is with us and you are a legitimate target!

It just sucks that they can't go to Dubai anymore. There are just too many anti-semites these days. I wonder if Saudi Arabia could open some of their resorts to Israeli tourists. Let's ask them!

But the sensible ones at least have given it some thought and find for THE DEFENCE RATHER THE OBSCURE OFFENCE. Mossad did not even breath a word,so take it from there and most anti-Israel ones can go HANG their heads in shame. I thought for a minute we were going to have this silly Dubai story put to sleep where it belongs.I see the only ones who are CRYING WOLF are the istigators,and bashers of Israel. Now to them I say push off,for you are not only igorants but also have absolutely no idea how the secret services work. Still have a good hateful night it will put you to sleep better,knowing you did your bit. A load of silly people trying to make points which are irrelavant and not trustworthy especialy coming from an Arab country who is in need to sort their messy life in that COUNTRY called Dubai.

It's not only Dubai... Lebanese officials will screen all tourist entering Beirut airport who posses Jewish names. This was the recommendation from Nasrallah yesterday. And the Lebanese Internal Security have said they'll implement that directive. Never mind, that Nasrallah isn't an elected official or hasn't received one Lebanese vote. The issue here is... can an Islamic religious figure impose racism and profiling, simply because he suspects a Mossad operation. I wonder what the Islamic community would think... if the EU or the US would screen every Muslim women wearing a hijab or deny entry to any Islamic sounding name, in the guise of preventing terrorism.

over the world and is therefore irrelevent. He hates israel and like a broken record spouts venom everywhere. His kind will fall to he side as the vibration of this planet goes higher. The American Jewish population is waking up as Chris L spouts his negativity yet his own life is not a high example. Let him keep going so the world can see what a real anti-semite acts like

wanted him dead. To declare this is disgusting

Ahmadinejad will surely be waiting to welcome you.

CIA?

for standing up to Illegal Israeli acts. I did not even know that Israelis are allowed to enter Dubai!!!!

is it easier to recognize Israels or terrorists?

Kip it , soon nobody will go to Dubai, Arab terrorist for sure not, you will go brock as we know you are going already, as for Interpol they should international investigate slave labor in Dubai among others international law broken by them.Has oil corruption blinded you ?

it will be the best comedy worth a Oscar! I cant wait!

Check their scalps for tiny horns and their rear ends for tails.

They need to put a bounty on the assassins. There are a lot of broke Americans who would love a few shots at that money. More than enough rednecks armed and ready for the hunt. There ae a few retired Mossad in Florida, they could start off with Vannu's whore.

"...for something so simple." Yup, murdering is simple, right Cipora. Hell, even dummies can do it. Give them murderers a medal, with a citation from Cipora! That's the ticket.

The Emirate police force will be trained to recognize Israeli's based on 'physical features and the way they speak'?

There is nothing like a common enemy to unite two sides. Ever heard the expression "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"? This is the foundation of the present peace initiative: The US appoints Slowman as peace mediator between Israel and Syria, say. The Syrians want US involvement? Give it to them this way. Over time, the two sides realize whom they are dealing with. They get annoyed to death by his sloooowness and duuuumbness, band together against him, and get rid of him in some joint operation. (Both Mossad and the Syrians are experts in this sort of thing.) There is no bonding like joint war against a common enemy. Peace will follow for sure. You want another peace deal? How about Israel and the Palestinians? Do the same thing, but you will have to go to the Himalayas to catch another Abominable Slowman. There aren't many of those left, so might become a real bottleneck. I suggest you start looking for a few Slowmen right away. Good luck, and Peace be on Israel. Inshallah. P.S. We, the Talkback contributors, are reluctantly willing to deprive ourselves of the services of a censor we grew to love to hate, but only because of the enormity of the mission. May his demise serve as our atonement. Amen.

All the comments so far have just rehashed all the standard bogus talking points, but none have noted that the poor Israelis that had their IDs stolen by Mossad are now having to be interrogated by UK and Australian police. I am sure the people that had their IDs stolen are extremely mad at their own government right about now. I wonder if the full impact of the stolen IDs has sunk in yet? They will NEVER be able to leave Israel no matter what passport they use. Their names are now in every security system around the world. They can never visit family outside Israel nor travel on pleasure nor business. If I were them I would be screaming for hundreds of millions of Shekels in compensation from the Israeli government. Not only that, but all citizens of UK and the other countries whose passports were used, will now have to endure vastly more intrusive security everywhere they travel. I am sure UK and Australian business people will also have a very low opinion of Israelis about now.

One of the Australian passports was in your name, as you travel to the ME so watch out they gona get ya!!

...features of Israelis..." Like two eyes, two ears, walks on two legs, issues speech-like sounds between two lips ... Good luck. Sounds more difficult than previous training: Black hat, black coat, black pants, lots of hair, yarmulke.

How they going to do that???

Not a completely unexpected turn of events. Wonder if the EU will use this as a precedent to do something similar. Somehow don't think that to be too far fetched.

Clarity:I agree that the US does kill terrorists with unmanned drones,but the explosives that they carry also unintendedly kill innocent civilians.If Israel was responsible-they probably are,but I am not certain-the killer was the only one who deservedly received "justice."

I am glad that you continue to infect the Haaretz site,because you make such a wonderful object of disgust,repugnance,abhorrence,loathing,dislike, and resentment.Isn't it wonderful to be an object of so much criticism?However that is besides the point of my post.You ask the reason for Israel's disregard of international law.The answer is easy.When international law is so obviously disrgarded by Dubai as to allow the well-known killer,Mabhouh,entry,nothing should prevent Israel-or any other country-from exacting "justice." Do you remember the Eichmann seizure from Argentina -either from reading history or from newspapers of the day?He would have been executed where he lived but for Israel wanting to educate the world.Mabhouh did not need to be an object lesson -his killings were present day,ongoing and admitted.

Westerners should stop traveling to Dubai that is becoming a safe haven for Islamist-Jihadist terrorists.

it is now 27 - really 30 - and number will grow to at least 50-60- i predict.

If a non-jew visits Israel,when leaving the country, at the airport they will stick a tag to your boarding card and the colour of the tag will be different for jews and gentiles. If you are an Israeli citizen but not a jew, they will tag you with the non-jewish colour as well (no apartheid huh?). Israel does not hide this and they say this is not racism. Well then, trying to detect Israelis travelling with non-israeli passports from their visual appearences, the way of clothing, any sign of hebrew letters in any belongings,accent etc should also not be racism according to this logic, why should it be ? Israel says with the tagging they have more chance to catch murderers (all nonjews are potential murderers according to this logic) then okay, then Dubai on whose soil a murder was comitted by Mossad should also have the right to utilize similar means for identification is not it ? What makes it so horrible ?

Talk about collective punishment. And they haven't even proved anybody guilty yet.

mossad doing exactly as MI5, MI6, CIA etc. are doing. only US army and CIA are killing by hundreds of thousands and mossad and IDF by thousands and you kill whomever but we kill person mostly who was trying to kill us with small - extremely small by any western army standards - colateral damage in lives, not so in infrastructure. and this is not my opinion, it is opinions of best profis in USA and GB.

This story just won`t go away... Of course it won`t, with Dubai effots being the most prolific, bordering on any extreme overkill imaginable. Dubai police won`t rest for quite some time and this is not the last of the new implementations targeting Israel, considering that Dubai came out the most embarrased in this affair. UAE is considered one of the most moderate Arab states advocating the region's peace. Yet it was undeniably confirmed the rumor of being the easily accesable baazar for radical Islam,`businessmen`. Yes, like most they do not have any high level ties with Israel, but the liaison between Iranian weapons to Hamas on the moderate Arab soil? And liaison is not some unknown smock but the high ranking Hamas man. Even if he had entered under false udentity, this either should indicate inneptness of Dubai secret service or the fact Dubai is `closing their eyes` on such liaisons. Take your pick, nevertheless in either case it is an embarrasement to Dubai.

I believe terrorists have no safe haven in Dubai, Iran, Syria or anywhere else in the world. Isarel, the US and others should hunt them down everywhere they go. great job Mossad...sloppy but effective!

...how will they "suspect" people are Israelis? Or are they saying no "jews" in Dubai....

But who operates America's Home Security?

Can the English like Chris Linthwaite really be classified as anti-semites? I would say he is in the category of Jewbaiter, the same category that his compatriot Clickfool (RIP) was classified in. I'm not sure if they really hate Jews; what they really seem to enjoy is just having fun at the Jews' expense by hurling false accusations and blood-libels, and then when they are found out, they just say, "Oh, just having a lark, mate." It's a bit like the online version of a small goyboy pulling an old Jew's beard. Can that be classified as a form of anti-semitism or is it just youthful pranks? "No apology is necessary until Israel is exhonerated. Until then I`ll keep on having fun at israel`s expense."

I assume they will use similar methods as Israeli security forces preventing Palestinians with EU or US passports to enter Israel. instead durable peace, the whole region is heading towards more restricitons... sadly, it seems our region will see more wars... not sure if the Israelis recognise that in 100 years they will not be able to win this war!!!

This little thing called Dubai and its "police chief" have exhausted their 15 minutes of fame. Why don't they go solve the crime of the systematic ripoff of 3rd world workers in the territory of Dubai? Treating those workers as subhuman is far worse than the death of what's-his-name.

by your logic (1): from the moment, some emirati/dual-citizen will do anything criminal here in europe PLUS there is something not ok with his passport/visa, all emiratis (tourists, medical treatment, sports) will be banned immediately from entering europe. by your logic (2): at the immigration desk, every non-emirates-passport-holder, but with some similar "behaviour" as emiratis (sheik-dress, women walking distance behind, arab speaking), will be harrassed (called off the queue and wait), until the officer is 99 if not 100 % sure, they dont have an emirati passport. did i understand that correctly ?

Was it worth it? Perhaps other countries in the region take similar steps to isolate (again) the unappreciative Israelis.

but seriously, isn't the entire point of being an undercover Isreali spy to *not* look and sounding like an Isreali?

A woman!! Maybe this woman acted as a prostitute. That how they got into his room. HA

Right...Gaza is collective punishment. What's the difference?

Yes it does!! The answer maybe more confused than the question.

Which decent person would be interested to visit Dubai ever again? 1) They stole big money from investors,banks & instituations by not paying their loans back. 2) They backup terrorists and dead terrorists. 3) They are bankrupt ( so it's about time they actually start working to earn money)

Let me first point out that none of the forged passports was a US passport. Indeed, according to Victor Ostrovsky's book about the Mossad (in which he served with a rank of Colonel), Mossad is extremely careful about any action that might cause a problem with Israel best friend and protector. In the Dubai case, it may be that two Mossad operatives entered the US with a forged passport. The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for allowing entry and they are no doubt investigating, at least in order to prevent repeat occurrences. If they do find something, they will not be quiet. National security is too important now in the US. The other issue is credit cards used in Dubai, some of which were American, and issued under forged ID. The offenders might be possible to track. Perhaps somebody will have the good sense of paying in cash rather than skipping town.

You never know However the use of the passports still needs to be explained.

No apology is necessary until Israel is exhonerated. Until then I'll keep on having fun at israel's expense.

But I'm having fun. I see we have arrested a suspected Bosnian war criminal at Heathrow

I am greatly touched that you believe that i am responsible for the creation and the existence of Israel on a metaphysical level. But obviously I am going to have to tell you that Israel was actually created by mere mortals in 1948. A good few years before I was born. However I am flattered that you think I have a continued role to play in the contined existence of Israel. It really is rather humbling, and I assure you I will do my utmost to ensure it's continued existence. Thankyou for putting your faith in me I won't let you down.

"vengence" or "retribution"? And how about "elimination" or perhaps "extinguished his light" or "his shot call" or "killed in action". You think "murder" is a better application for this terrorist? Perhaps I'll consult you next time seeing that my vocabulary is so limited. Thanks for the advice mate - always willing to learn.

"What a pompuous little country" If you mean Israel, I agree with you. Think for a moment how Israel would react to 26 assassins entering the country and killing someone. Never mind, for a minute, the motive; concentrate on the arrogance of a country which thinks it can do this with impunity to other countries.

Trust me, I lived there for 2 years and no one ever said anything to me about my Israeli citizenship. Everything you get in Dubai you get in Bahrain, it's slightly more liberal, and what's more, I hear there are plans to build an even taller skyscraper than Burj Khalifa - one that is over 1000m tall!

did they allow a terrorist in there country who killed Jews... Dubai is guilty by association. Arabs profiling Israeli's is a serious joke...

Reading about the restrictions to Dubai, my suggestion is let Israel apply for EU membership. If Israel were EU, maybe no prohibition of traveling to Dubai could be enforced. If Israel is part of Eurovision TV contest, why not part of EU?

I love this stuff.Dubai can't build an aquarium that doesn't leak but they can outsmart the Mossad.Of course. Every country complaining about the forged passports have their intelligence people doing the same.Think the CIA,Brit,Aussie,Irish intelligent agencies don't do the same? James Bond used forged passports in every movie. Whats really funny is that some of you are more concerned with forged passports than the Iranian nuclear program.A man who murdered innocent people of many nationalities is gone and all that some of you can do is whine about the horrible Israelis.And every country whining about the passports also is secretly praying that Israel will take out Iranian nukes.And that includes Dubai.

What a pompuous little country, and an even more pompous police chief!Dali Kalfan Tamim is a police chief of a little "place",called.DUBAI with a population of some ONE Million people,and yet while in charge of a small police detachment, has the temerity to give himself the rank of LT.GENERAL,a rank that would normally command some 100,000 men!Furthermore,to remain in the limelight, he seems to find evermore "assassins", now about 30 of them!Soon, they will exceed the total population of DUBAI!Perhaps he should answer ,as to why he allowed a HAMAS MURDERER into DUBAI in the first place!

Probably the only way that it was a Mossad operation with 20 plus people is if they intended to capture and to kidnap him. Maybe they succeeded?

good diplomacy Israel..you morons.

'Media reports last week said that Australian authorities had approached Israel in the 1990s to seek assurances that its passports would not be used in Mossad activities after it was feared Israel had doctored New Zealand passports. During that meeting, the reports claimed, the Israelis said they condoned such identity theft, with Australian participants describing their response as "enraged self-righteousness." ' It's amazing. This is NOT what your source says. I already tried to point this out to you once. Here, I'll tell you again -- although why, I don't know. The cited source was 'The Australian.' According to 'The Australian,' it was the Australians who 'condemned' (not 'condoned') identity theft and New Zealanders off-stage who suffered from 'enraged self-righteousness.' The Israeli reaction wasn't mentioned at all.

look up 'justice' and 'assassination'

Mr. Sadat erred and Arabs became orphins by losing Egypt. If Arabs only behave rationaly and honestly by being firm and tenacious, Peace would have prevailed, Israel and its Western backers would have enched into durable peace based on restoring Palestinian rights. By accomodating Israel and obeying the West, arrogance is the norm in Israeli behavior. It is not unconceivable that some Arab regimes collapse, Western coalition disperse and leave Muslim and arab lands. If that ever happens then the days of Israel with or without atomic deterence would be short as Iran says. Dubai would retract, Arab regimes cannot live without the benedication of the West, supporter of Israel

Of course the US is not making a comment...just look at the number of zionist on the capitol!!

Declaration that other posters from the UK did not challenge so it would be appropriate to prove that Mossad was behind al-Mabhouh murder and employed MI6 method of using foreign passports to get him. How about apology for spreading lies,Chris Linthwaite and Michael, both from the UK?

Are there still terrorists living large in the fantasyland of the rich and criminal that need to be eliminated?

... if alternative passports are used? OK, buddy, show me your foreskin.

That sucks! Well that seals it, it's a country (city state, whatever) full of antisemites, no doubt about it!

i have a european passport and an israeli one. you dont want me to come to DXb than so be it! i shll spend my money else where!

Just how naive are you? Israel has a program of killing high ranking Hamas by what ever means possible! and 26 agents seems about right to follow a paranoid Hamas chief without being detected, and all those passports with dual Israeli nationality was just mossad using what was at hand and not thinking it would blow up like this...end of story

"But as always , who is guilty ? Of course Israel .No proof needed , the Jew is guilty just by his birth" Oh my! Three choruses of "We Cry For You"... Leave out the pity party, and remember who wanted this guy dead...

Probably few care very much about the man who was killed, but a great many care about Israel`s idea that the rules of international law don`t apply to it, and that it can ignore every other state`s sovereignty whenever it chooses..... I asked a few of your friends and no one can answer the question . Is there any concrete , real hold-water proof that Israel is involved ??? Suspicion , who said what ...do not count .

Ask Goldstone. Try posting criticism of Israel on here.... You doing it every day , so what is your problem ? And in this case what is your criticism of Israel ? Do you have anything concrete to throw at Israel ? Or you , as always , just blowing empty AIR ?

airline tickets to Israel ? Everything , including hotel rooms , are solidly booked for the next month and very expensive . Where do you get your info ?

real proof ? Because so far nobody has any and Arabs , even if they are murdering each other daily , always accuse Israel , so that is no proof . People whose ID is Stolen should not be held responsible . Your logic smells really bad .

they would need only a few to do the Job . Who needs 26 ? It must be an Arab rob-out . But as always , who is guilty ? Of course Israel . No proof needed , the Jew is guilty just by his birth .

He died of suffocation during a pillow fight so now Dubai police want to make sure their country is safe for terrorist tourists by excluding all suspected Israelis! What an attractive country, safe for terrorists. And for alleged child molestors like Michael Jackson. The 'Jackle' (sp) holed up here years ago and only escaped using scuba gear, supposedly. This tiny country is on the way to becoming a haven for terrorists and criminals, no wonder they are setting their eyesights on becomeing the banking capital of the Middle East! They are collaborators for hire.

"The fact that Israel is not outraged that this happened to their dual nationals implicates the country." The fact that the only people arrested so far are Palestinians must implicate Palestine. The fact that two suspects fled to Iran must implicate Iran. These are hard facts. There are no such facts implicating Israel, but people like you ignore facts and rely on stupid conspiracy theories in order to "prove" things. Grow up.

Based on race ? Time for Europe , Canada and the USA to catch up with such progressive ideas .

Cry me a river! I could care less that some wanker smuggling arms for Hamas got what was coming to him. I could also care less that Dubai is barring Israelis from entering the country. I think most Israelis could care less as well. Dubai should be thankful the Israelis took the time and made the effort to avoid collateral damage instead of dropping a smart bomb through his hotel window - Dubai knew who that scumbag was and was more than happy to let him operate within their territory.

as long ass they are dealing with Israel. Are they banning Russian passport holders?

Like americans, russians and other countries don't carry out there own assinations. LOl The real question is why are terrorists on vacation in Dubai? Maybe there working from there plotting there next mass murder. LOLPeople really are in a bubble. Hamas is a terrorist organization that even arab countries dennounce. The Iranians are using them as political pawns as they always have. LOL If israel wanted bin laden, they would get him!!!! lol

Come on, Ronen, admit it. You believe this dead fellow was responsible for the holocaust too.

So you support assassinating people you consider "mass murderers" (even if they're not)? Then I suppose you endorse assassinating "mass murderers" of the zionist kind, of which there are many in Israel?

How many mossad agents does it take to change a light bulb? 27 We will soon see that Dubai claims 7000000 mossad agents were there - all of the israeli population. This is a great joke!

I can see there point. I`m Anglo-Israeli, so it would affect me. Even if we didn`t knock-out this terrorist, the assassination "style" is rather "Mossadi". Anyway,the important thing is that bastard is "pushing-up daisies" now. Shame it had to be on the soil of such a moderate, & modern-minded Arab state!

Dubai was embarrassed when they were caught hosting a mobster, who was whacked on their watch. They were likely complicit, to be honest. Or incompetent at best. That's the real 'story' here. Shame-based behaviour. The sooner the world recognizes Hamas as a organized crime syndicate masquerading as a quasi-national 'liberation front', the better.

What a dumb comment. al Mabhouh traveled and entered Dubai on a false passport. If you wish to use that criterion, then Dubai also harbored the assassins by letting them to enter the country on false passports. If Dubai pretends to be part of the civilized world by allowing al Habhouh to enter their country on a false passport, what part of the world are the assassins pretending to be?

So much uproar over killing one man that admitted openly to his terrorist acts, yet there are hundreds of thousands of slaves in the UAE living in sub-human conditions, with their passports withheld (almost all construction is done by them) and nobody says anything. This is the world we live in - one dead terrorist is mourned more than any amount of innocent people that are held against their will and forced to work.

this fistitious story is really stupid and waist of time to everyone. He was a terrorists who killed so many Arabs and Jews. I think it is time for everyone to look at the more dangerous ones like the nukes of iran and the Hamas that's threatening big.

"A democratic country have a trial and jury when someone killed Period not assassin like Israel!" I agree...Israelis would have a fit if other countries sent their assassins into Israel to kill people. But Israel always plays by its own rules...

r u for real..... do drone strikes in yemen, pakistan sound like trial by judge and jury ?

"Israel should make an uproar for every Jew killed and countries involved" Israel makes an uproar about everything, didn't you know...where have you been?

Shades of Claude Raines. One would think that all this strum and drang by Dubai is a means to deflect curiosity about their role in this event.

What about the "Mossad" agents that fled to Iran? Is Iran going to extredite them? This is a big joke, to think that the Interpoll and the Dubai police has Mossad on the run (whoever did this knew that they are being photographed and didn't care about it much), there are probably Mossad agents in Dubai right now looking for their next target. To whoever did this: Great job, keep going!

In democratic countries people are considered INNOCENT until proven guilty for a crime they are suspected of committing. I see you use democracy when it suits you.

A democratic country have a trial and jury when someone killed. Period..... .... Dubai is definitely not a democratic country.

It is Dubai's lost if it does not allow Israelis to visit their country. I wonder if they have any synagogue or church there or is it a racist country like the other arab countries? - Can someone please tell me - thanks

If the Muslims/Arabs can enact a law keeping Israelis out of Dubai without international condemnation, The land of Israel MUST enact a law keeping "Palestinians" out of All of Israel. It's only fair

"They denied me entry 4 years ago. Israelis were never allowed in looool." Shahar Peer competed in the Dubai Championships last month. An Israeli, no? Seems some folk just can't help but talk rubbish

Please hold your breath and wait for terrorist arms smugglers to give themselves up for a fair trial by some democratic country. Sit back and relax with some popcorn while you anticipate the latest installment on TV of more murders of Israelis by the same weapons smuggled. You seem to know nothing about terrorism and counter-terrorism. Not buying your spin. Period

other country at the behest of the Russian Govt? // Police have detained a Russian national // // Police deemed the shooting an assassination due to Yamadayev's history. "The man has a long track record of dispute with Chechen(s),"// Seems it could have been a Chechen assassination.

How would you bring israelis to trial if they cant get past your airport officials?

Too bad, Dubai had been showing some sense about Israel. As Dumbya Bush discovered playing cowboy can backfire now days.

For now, I want to hold off on the Dubai incident. I am not too sad that an individual who wanted to purchase missles in order to purposely maim women and children has been killed. Hamas admits that they target civilians, and pass out sweet candy when they are successful. Of course you criticize this behavior. And of course you criticize the naming of streets in order to honor Freedom Fighters who killed and maimed babies-extra nails added in the bombs to ensure carnage. Of course you condemn this. Again-assuming Israel behaves like a normal country=should there be a Jewish country called Israel-negotiated pre 1967 borders-next to Arab, independant Palestine?

somebody got your gander

I agree with you to ban Palestinians from entering Dubai only if Mabhooh killed the 27 Mossad agents and ran away ....

yes, sure with what charges? where is the evidence that israelis did it !! keep on dreaming

"identity theft, forged passports is standard practice to every intel agency worldwide." Incriminating their own fellows? (if it was Mossad, they've implicated innocent Jewish folk) Very likely of course that other countries also use fake ID's and Passports. However, a state can just issue real passports with any ID they cared to dream up for their operatives, EXCEPT if that country's Passports aren't really welcome or they'd be suspect in the country they're gonna operate in.

it would be even more useful if you kindly named the enzymes, their residence time in blood, time of section etc. It would be of especial value to me since most of things you mentioned I did not know. ps. As you remember I used the plastic bag, no particles. pps. succinylcholine is used to paralyze respiratory musculature with the aim to switch to an artificial breathing. Apparently they could not bring the machine to the birthday boy - a lot of people would come bothering with advice- and the boy was left to die due to inability to breath. ppps. It is Dubai jester suggested succinylcholine - not I - I used the bag- no particles.

anyone asked if Harry Houdini did this job ? Dubai police said they entered the room the following day after finding it locked and chained on inside....hmmm....

"Well I think Israel in general has a tendency to be more than a little self-righteous and arrogant towards all their neigbours" Israel is the spoiled foster child of a superpower...hence the arrogance!

identify clearly that Mossad was involved. So now they are venting their frustration by attacking Israeli citizens.

They denied me entry 4 years ago. Israelis were never allowed in looool.

A democratic country have a trial and jury when someone killed Period not assassin like Israel!

Are Russians also persona non grata in Dubai because of their assassinations there? http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLV935401 Suspected Israelis= code for Jews. Folks travelling on false British passports aren't going to be suspected Israelis. But who wants to go to Dubai anyway?

Bottom Line? The Dude is Dead! Good! It doesn't get any better than that. Focus on the important stuff...like, a violent Islamic terrorist was removed from the over all picture. Whatever means works is cool with me, and with alot of other people. Strange that Dubai doesn't have a problem with Islamic terrorists, hell bent on facilitating a monumental streak of deaths in Israel, doing their activities within Dubai. What does that say about Dubai and it's credibility? Notta. They got nothin, cuz they are in agreement with this terrorists actions. So their credentials for illegal activities mean zip. They are not to be taken seriously.

To be fair, Dubai should also ban Palestinians from entering too since el mab7ou7 used a fake passport to enter Dubai. Maybe that's the plan???

Hamas admitted this guy was responsible for smuggling weapons from Iran.. which proves that Iran is already fighting a proxy war with Israel.

1)Dubai insults Israel by harboring terrorists. 2)English citizens, considering their centuries of exploitation, rape and genocide of other people have no right to talk on international affairs.

are part of the civilized world

Three Israelis who live in Israel and had their passportm identities stolen have not been abroad for the last two years. So that's three off the list

How about banning suspected terrorists ?? Or, maybe Dubai regards these guys as a plus for their country. Lt Gen Tamim seems to have his priorities (and investigations) somewhat distorted.

There should be ove 50 Mossad agent as a sleeping cell. they could be in AduDhabi, Sharja or any of the other Emirates laying low as sleepy cells waiting to strike again. You should look hard into your residents.

this assaination was by another group and they used these dual citizen/false passports in order to put the scent onto Mossad? Quite possibly mossad is checking into this scenario and they will come up with some proof.

big deal

pull the other one...i'm sure this is the first time you have been enraged by passport forgeries LOL.... identity theft, forged passports is standard practice to every intel agency worldwide. you are boring, change the record.....

the reaction is catalyzed by microsomal (and non-microsomal) enzymes. Quite different from the enzymes released when one suffocates, which are different again from a panic attack or fear or heart attack (one of the first checks now a days for suspected heart attack is an enzyme test) If the enzymes released by suffocation are present in the blood, suffocation would most likely have been the cause of death. If the enzymes for fear are in the blood, then the victim must have been conscious. If the enzymes for an adrenaline rush are in the blood, it could indicate a struggle. Perhaps prior to the administering of the drug. If there were no enzymes released though suffocation, then one could reach the conclusion that death was caused by the drug itself. (failing other circumstances)

Why would Mossad send 27 people too do the job ove 2 or 3? That would make the possiblity of getting caught more likely and exposing the task. Dubai is just throwing a lot of blame at Israel because they couldn't protect a terrorist in their keeping from assassination by one of their own.

This is a blunder by Mossad ... never in their wildest dream such an act took all this publicity ... Dubai Police will never stop till the last of the 27 are caught ....

Yes! When will these unjust killings end? Who give this country the right to go kill whoever, in whatever country! The USA must stop these killings in Iraq and Afghanistan. Oh wait.... you didn't mean that?

Is Madoff an arab muslim? Ever heard of an eye for an eye? That is justice. He admitted to killing 2 Israeli's. In fact he boasted about it in a video. Plus he is responsible for the deaths of many others through his arms dealings. Plus he was on a mission to kill yet more - again, through further arms dealings. He evaded the long arm of justice far too long. Bravo to the Mossad for making him reap what he sowed and preventing him from further injustice since no one else would have brought him to justice, least of all Dubai. Justice is served. Justice! Justice! Justice! That is what it was. Amen.

Well I think Israel in general has a tendency to be more than a little self-righteous and arrogant towards all their neigbours.

If this were just a hit on a terrorist, then there wouldn't be much uproar. Israel has done it before, and the US does it no with drones. Some people agree with the policy, and others do not. But some party used the identities of innocent dual nationals. 1. Put these persons at risk 2. Abused diplomatic documents issued by several countries to their citizens. The fact that Israel is not outraged that this happened to their dual nationals implicates the country. The fact that many feel that any means may be used against terrorists indicates that Israel cannot be trusted.

I wonder under which false passport Mahmoud al-Mabhouh entered Dubai?

"Livni: The political conflict with the Palestinians could turn into a religious one (Haaretz)"

I'm surprised all these 26 killers didn't just charter a plane to Dubai...

Dubai was not insulted by hundreds of ilegal acts going on in Dubai other than the assasination of a murderer and ilegal arms smugler such as Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. Showing pictures of people and passports is not a proof that it was MOSAD !!! too many confusing statements from the chief, 2 of the assasins left by boat to Iran??

I am inclined to agree with Iran. I think Europeans were involved or at the least Israel got their agreement for passport forgery. If this is not the case then Israeli government should go home for endangering relations with so many friendly countries. If you already do it then forge passports of only one/two countries. This is stupid to do it for our best allies like Australia. This is why I think they all knew if not involved.

Dubai has to post a $5 Million dollar reward for capturing one of the 26. Human is weak all around the world when it come to money and Dubai will get results instantly.

... what is left for you to do than to help yourself ? Getting rid of al Mabhouh was the duty of all who care about right and wrong . Those who care about al Mabhouh departure are sharing his crimes. Starting with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The country that supplied him the weapons to murder . And those who only care about the laws that allow radom killing & believe in the unbelievable; the Leftists who don't believe in the right of those who are murdered but in the right of the criminals to kill. Them & us is the divide created by the terrorists & the radom killing !

yes, you are right: the murder was a direct result of his illegal criminal activity, aimed on murdering people.

Sir, I used plastic bag... no particles ... i remember ... ps. the more all this discussed the funnier it becomes... ps.

Yes. Do you believe that Israel has the god given right to abuse another country's passport system because of those countries allowing Israeli citizens to have dual nationality? and would it be acceptable for those countries to withdraw dual national status to Israeli citizens if it is found that Israel has abused that system?

involved... This story is already becoming sickening for one lousy terrorist that has already killed Jews himself... Isn't the Australian Police wasting there time coming to Israel?

Actually what bothers me is the deliberate misuse of British Passports to commit murder in Dubai an ally of Britain. Obviously you can fall back onto your Israeli passport to travel in safety. I cannot.

-ai.And with "flora" in US.

If you want real killers of Mahmoud, investigate organizations he dealt with. As far as all those forged passports, most if not all of them had nothing to do with Mahmoud, and by now all those involved are long gone, they now have new identities and new faces, they probably landed in countries of destinations under new identities. Also, Dubai is known as a destination of many illegal or clandestine activities and every day people arrive with false passports and leave the same, there are probably 20 t0 30 people daily arriving in this way daily, same as Lichtenshtine in Europe. Hope the chief of police learns his job or bring in an expert, unless someone is paying him to blame mossad and not look at other possibilities.

...to kill one man?? Sounds like the Keystone Kops,lol.

There is a little difference in the formulation. No so much as "ensuring a homeland for the Jewish People". But: giving with every post another reason to "exist" for Israel. Your posts are as the Ontological argument of Saint Anselm. They support as arguments something otherwise metaphysical : "existence". Thanks!

I personally believe that one reason that you show manners is to show others that your mother wasn't a wolf, that she was a good woman who taught you well, not like Romulus and Remus who despite the end, hit a nasty snag on the way. Well perhaps Tamim's mother didn't teach him everything or perhaps he dosed off and missed this lesson, But Respect is a two way street, If you go around and insult another nation, condemn them for an action that you have NO EVIDENCE OF, then begin the personal insults and begging of others to " Be A MAN" etc..., well what you are going to find most likely is a very cold shoulder and yes you might feel insulted after that, but the question is did you deserve he insult. So Tamim, perhaps Israel will apologize if you could prove it was them. Perhaps Israel would have apologized, if it was them had you not accused them first. Either way, you sir, are not the one to be discussing respect, manners, or feelings of insult, rewind start again.

aamazing how they get onto planes with bombs in their underpants or shoes !!

We have noted you have some issues with Mossad way of doing business; you need to address those with Mossad. As far as the rest of the world is concern; if it looks like a duck, moves like a duck, sounds like a duck?it is a duck!! And this duck sounds very loud and clear, well done Dubai police.

USA is my country is well, and I see they only arrest arab muslim, Jews have a free pass!

The Dubai police chief started off very well..then all of a sudden the intensive media pressure has put him over the edge. First he said that if Mossad did it he would ask for arrest warrants for Meir Dagan and Bibi. Then he asked for Dagan to "be a man" and admit he plotted it. Now today he says Mossad insulted him. Th police chief needs to be replaced or told to shut up and investigate. This will be blockbuster movie....but only if Israel losses. If not why would Jew haters and Israeli bashers want to feel bad paying money to see it.

We are sick of israel thinking they can do whatever killing without a trial just because they say guilty! Next will be your country and maybe you in your own bed! That is how mossad work Is no judge and jury just them thinking are above any law of the land!!

wake up and smell the coffee.

i looked at nyt,guardian,independent;what story?the coverup continues.the zionist grip on the western media is almost total.but the poeoz are not true.

find me 1no intel agency that doesnt use forged passports ?..... good luck looking....no matter how far to the left you look you wont find one

actually it is boring....and it is only persons like you completely obsessed with israel who are foaming at the mouth at the possibility of jewish blood. the truth is a terrorist who devoted his life to killing jews is dead and that is what really bothers you.

I am glad to be of help. I am extremely proud to be a positive influence to the youth of Israel. Now would you like to tell me why Israel should be allowed to fraudenently use british passports? And what makes Israel so special that they can completely disregard International Law? But thankyou for your kind words of encouragement, it means a lot to me.

Do you believe there should be a Jewish country called Israel in pre 1967 borders, and an Arab country called Palestine in all of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem?
