Alleged Mossad agents 'respected' at NZ jail
Jerusalem Post ^ | August 8, 2004 | DOUGLAS DAVIS

Two alleged Mossad agents, currently serving six-month jail sentences for attempting to fraudulently obtain New Zealand passports, are handling their predicament "incredibly well."

A senior New Zealand source told The Jerusalem Post that the two men - Uri Kelman, 30, and Eli Cara, 50 - are sharing a cell in Auckland's tough Mt Eden jail.

They have a television set and stereo system in their cell. Both are reading voraciously and are regular users of the prison library.

He described their jail conditions as "fine" and said that both are "comfortable."

He also said the two Israelis mix freely within the jail and appear to enjoy a special status among fellow prisoners, who include some of the toughest Maori gang members.

The source said gang leaders are at the top of the prison hierarchy, "but they defer to the Israelis," he said.

"I don't know whether it's their religion or who they are supposed to be, but the Israelis are given unbelievable respect by other prisoners."

The pair are, "good, decent, highly intelligent guys," he said....(snip)

It is ones' self interest to defer to Mossad agents.

I wonder how big they are.

Good question, but Maori are not known to be svelte.

Still, even gangland members have enough sense of self-preservation to not pick a fight with a well trained agent, no matter what the size.

They're "alledged" Mossad agents. They might just be run of the mill thugs. I don't believe real Mossad would have been caught with sub-par visas in their possessions. The "Mossad" claim is probably tied to the anti-semite leadership in NZ.

Apparently there are no paleocons serving time there. Must be some Zionist conspiracy.

Nothing sub-par about New Zealand passports. Their method of obtaining them was extraordinarily clumsy.

I too have been accused of being a Mossad agent, by nutters at nut sites. :)

Anyone who supports Israel and the USA and is Jewish is accused of this. If you were formerly on the left, then you are also a *neo-con warmonger*.

We run the world, as you know.(/sarcasm)

Credit where it is due: the left in the past 3 years have turned my distaste for their ideology and tactics into raging hatred. For awhile, I felt uncomfortable w/this emotion. Now, it gives me the energy to work as hard as I can against them.

I want to see them utterly destroyed politically and I find I am speaking out at every opportunity and refusing to be silent or polite.
