Israeli Govt Struggles to Downplay Growing Dubai Scandal
After Angry Summons, Israeli Ambassador to Britain Mocks Dubai Assassination
Though privately there appears to be growing disquiet about the “amateurish” nature of the apparent Mossad assassination in the city of Dubai, and concern about the ramifications in the international community, publicly the Israeli government is trying to downplay the situation.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry declared today that it was “absurd” to discuss the arrest of Mossad chief Meir Dagan, and said there was “no incriminating proof” that it was even as assassination, let alone one Mossad was responsible for.
Yet the fake passport data has pointed clearly at Israel, enough so that the British government yesterday summoned Israel’s ambassador to demand an explanation. Dubai police say they are “99 percent” certain that Mossad was behind the hit.
But incredibly, while many Israeli officials are struggling to play clean-up, the ambassador to Britain publicly mocked the killing on twitter, calling an Israeli tennis victory in Dubai another “hit on a Dubai target.”

The general opinion among officials of the Israeli government is that Britian will initially make a bit of a fuss, but nothing will come of it and everyone will soon forget… again.

Just imagine how 'outraged' we'd all be if a pack of rabid Muslims used fake passports to enter a foreign country with the express intent of murder. "Omigod! They're(Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, etc, etc) exporting terrorism! They don't respect human life like we do! That country should be bombed – for peace!"
But we all know that there's a special set of rules for those other folks. And if you don't go along with it all, then you're a RACIST, understand? LMAO.
God Bless America.

What is the diff, between }sreal'sDubia and USA 's drone killings?
In canada, not much is ever said of the }sreal arab killings,just as/is of who really pulled of the Sept 11 2001 attacks. Sure seems there is asinister connection between media ownership and control of Government :^/

If it had been the Dubai ambassador mocking the deeds of a Dubai murder squad, the story would read something along the lines of how a terrorist who had inflitrated the bought-and-paid-for government of Dubai was hog-tied in an airplane en route to Guantanamo Bay.

You're absolutely right. We swept the USS LIBERTY ATTACK that killed 34 and wounded 174 U.S. Servicemen under the rug to hide ISRAEL Knowingly even machine gunning life rafts put in the water for the wounded. It's time to acknowledge that Israel is NOT our friend and the instigator of all the Mideast problems. REMEMBER THE LIBERTY!!!

the arrogance of the united states and Israel particularly since the fall of the soviet union, is breathtaking.
but on a positive not unlike Americans while they don't react, they do remember, and its just another step away from a western-centric world.
and to all those who some how think israel is not a "western" state, the enlightenment is dead, this is sparta, enjoy that freedom while you got it

Uss Liberty,june 8 1967 was the point where Israel knew that it could get away with murder. Not that that that was not the case prior,but the MURDER of Americans and get away with impunity.If you can kill Americans and get away with it,you can get away with anything.
Liberty's survivors have a story to tell their fellow Americans.Another botched Israeli operation that killed in cold blood 34 US Seamen.That ship was supposed to go down with all hands and blame to pinned on Egypt.An Israel false flag operation to draw West into a war with Muslim world.Prior Israel false flags ops.see Operation Susannah or Lavon Affair in fifties.
The trail is there.Remeber the Hereos of USS Liberty

How interesting it is: When a government wants to eliminate somone, they just go ahead & do it, calling any innocnts 'Collateral Damage'! When an indivdual wants to eliminate someone, (like the monster, Scott Roeder did), it's…{presto}, a crime!
I have NO sympathy for this assisnated skell's fate, but…
Those of us who have NEVER killed another human would like some moral_clarification from all these 'God_Fearing' irreligious types, in/out of government, who have no more compunction about stealing & crashing airliners & starting profiteering expeditions then they do about havin' 'nother cup o' tea!
