On sidelines of EU meeting, FM cites insufficient evidence in Dubai case. Talkbacks (46)
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman met on Monday afternoon with Irish Foreign Minister Michael Martin to discuss the implications of the reported Dubai spy case.
Meeting with a number of his European colleagues on the sidelines of a conference of the EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Lieberman told his Irish colleague that there is no evidence indicating Israeli involvement in the assassination of Hamas terror chief Mahmoud al-Mabhouh last month.
He added that were someone to present information beyond what is in the newspapers, Israel would relate to it, but since there is no such information, there is no need for Israel to deal with the matter.
Lieberman said that there are many false accusations against Israel on any number of issues, and that there is an Arab inclination to blame Israel for everything. He went on to raise the possibility that someone in the Arab world was responsible for the assassination.
Lieberman explained that in the Middle East, there are any number of internal battles inside non-democratic organizations and countries.

Mabhouh's body was found in a Dubai hotel room last month. Suspicion has fallen on a hit squad from Israel's Mossad spy agency.
Meanwhile on Monday, the EU was questioning Israel about falsified European passports used in the assassination – suspectedly the work of the Mossad.
Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said the EU was "extremely concerned" that suspects in the Jan. 20 killing of Mabhouh carried fake EU passports.
He also stated his intention to broach the issue with Lieberman.
Israel has linked Mabhouh to the smuggling of arms into Gaza and the slaying of two Israeli soldiers on leave.
Lieberman explained that in the Middle East, there are any number of internal battles inside non-democratic organizations and countries. "
Would you like it if the Mossad came here and assassinated someone?
Does being Israel make them innocent of whatever acts they choose?
Sure, Arab terrorists suck. Why do they suck?
Because they do not respect any law or decency.
So.. Israeli hit-teams go around whacking folks in other countries and it's just fine as wine?
“Would you like it if the Mossad came here and assassinated someone?”
Given who they kill, I wouldn’t have any problem.
They can even stay at my house, borrow my passport, eat my food, take some of my pistols (the ones I bought for cash at guns shows), drink my whiskey, and play with my dog.
How are you so sure the Israelis did the hit? So far I see the Muslim terrorists and the anti Semite European socialists making that claim.
I would.
Being Israeli cuts no ice here in a Christian house.
Non-Christian foreigners ought to tend to their own houses.
You reckon they should have a blank check to do as they wish?
Yes, whacking terrorists is cool. Phenominally cool.
But crossing boundaries to do it without permission is almost as bad as the terrorist scum themselves.
Whose permission is needed? The permission of the terrorists or the U.N.?
Uhh.. what is this thread about? We are discussing.. what?
Disregard my #6. Thank you.
I see you are making moral equivalency between suicide bombers and those who seek to stop them. What Lieberman is saying is ‘show me the evidence the Mossad was involved.. beyond just a bunch of newspaper reports.. and we will deal with it.’ I think that’s a reasonable position to take but making moral equivalency is simply asinine.
Well, let's think about that.
Where do you live? Would you like some folks from Outer Mongolia to come and make a hit there?
Take out your Senator because he voted down something that served Outer Mongolia's interest?
Wouldn't that Senator be YOUR business, not theirs?
Scripture predicts that a day is coming when the only ally that Israel will have is the God of the universe.
Seems you have already chosen which side you are on.
Amen to that!
I hereby give them permission.
They can kill all the muslim terrorists in the State of New Mexico. (We probably have some in Sante Fe.)
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

“Sure, Arab terrorists suck. Why do they suck?

Nonsense.
They suck because they kill innocent people, seek genocide against the Jewish people, seek to kill or subjugate every one else, and are servants of Satan.
I have theological issues with Jews, but they are on the correct side.
Pretty much the same way the Great Satan goes in other countries and assassinates folks with missles. Killing civilians while they’re at it. With the cooperation of some of the same Euros whining now. I’m OK with killing enemies, we kill ours, Israel kills theirs. Those UAVs don’t need passports, but they don’t file proper flight plans either.
I think the basic issue is the guy doesn't like the descendants of the Maccabees.
So the Israelis can go wherever they wish, and kill whomever they decide needs to be killed?
What if they decide they don't like your Governor, your Councilman.. your mom?
Is it still fine?
“They can even stay at my house, borrow my passport, eat my food, take some of my pistols (the ones I bought for cash at guns shows), drink my whiskey, and play with my dog.”
Amen to that. You don’t need to be born again to be my compadre.
Humblegunner’s comment reeks of anti Semitism.
