True if it was down to NZ vs Israel. Hypothetically though, should it come to open military action, Israel would be in a lot more diplomatic sh*t than it ever has been, at the very least. But this will get nowhere near that.

Azazel, I am not doubting other nations' agents have done this sort of thing before. This does not excuse the fact that these were Israelis likely operating under some official capacity. I and no-one else is blaming you, Jews, the Israeli people, nor are we asking for explanations from you personally. Assuming the information is correct, then the Israeli government or security organisations are proving that they see themselves above international law, they believe they have a right to interfere with other sovereign nations, or that they are just insuffereably arrogant. Any of these are unacceptable, and I challenge anyone to say it is justified, right, necessary or anything less than insulting to all NZ and victimising to the NZer concerned.

Just like the Israelis to take advantage of disabled people.

BTW - did anyone see the NZ Prime Minister on the news? She looks like the Bride of Frankenstein.


Bollocks to the first, Agathon. Israelis as a whole do not do this. The relevant security organisation in Israel however, does, and is the tinpot outfit that is encouraging the very distrust of Israeli official organisations that said organisations and right-wing Israeli media complain about from other nations.

As to the second.... I can't really disagree. She's a pretty good PM though, and her Kiwi accent is as "thuck as any uther Keywey's". She may not be a looker, but I'm a little bit proud of our PM, AAMOF.

I full accept that in that context, and agree to that. However, this "OMFG ISRAEL IS SOOO EVIL, ISRAEL THINKS IT'S ABOVE LAW, NO NATION DOES THAT" or even worse "Israelis are spies and drug smugglers", as you had some NZ customs folks telling one of our diplomatic personell, and then searching his luggage, I won't accept that.

The OMFG statement.... don't know where you got that, but certainly not from the NZers who have posted on this here. Nor have there been any attacks on Jews or Israelis, which would have happened in many places of the world should such a thing have targetted other countries.

As for the customs official quote, that is an allegation as well. I have not seen that anywhere on the web but on an Israeli news site which was clearly biased against NZ, and a similar, if less blatant, Australian site. If it actually happened then I daresay the matter was dealt with quickly, and an apology made to the proper person. It was certainly ridiculous and something that SHOULD have been set to rights if it happened.

Just like this. Except this is potentially far far more serious, and could have endangered every NZer abroad.

Provide another example of a Western country fraudulently obtaining a friendly nation's passports and using them to commit illegal acts in another friendly country.

This is more than just a violation of sovereignty, which would be a bilateral issue. This damages the victimised nation's standing internationally.

So all your examples of the French or Russians being dickheads so far haven't cut it.

If you want to be our enemies, so be it. If you want to be our friends then act like it. This is not an act that a friend perpetrates on another friend.

well, not exactly..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3899583.stm

and another thing, this didn't put your citizens at risk abroad. Just like Canadian citizens abroad weren't threatened by a similar action.

Yes, it is.

I would "rather" Israel had sent Mossad agents to attempt an assassination in Canada with Norwegian passports than they attempt an assassination in Norway with Canadian passports (from a Canadian perspective).

The latter devalues the trustworthiness of the Canadian passport system and opens our citizens abroad to suspicion. It embarasses Canada on the world stage as a clearinghouse for false documentation. It forces us to apologise to the other aggrieved party (Norway) for issuing passports that would be used in a crime.

The former makes you country look unsafe and crawling full of foreign intelligency services. Both are bad on a similar basis. It's like saying, what was more offensive to a country. Say, German terrorists kidnapped a plane in greece. Who's more embarassed, Greece or Germany?

I don't recall any such episode, but then I've not been following Swedish news very closely the last year.

I absolutely fail to see what this has to do with the topic at hand, tho.

i'm only saying that this is not something out of the ordinary, except for the stupidity of the israelis which got caught and the decision of NZ to go public about it.

from a purely idealistic as much as outwordly POV then of course it shouldnt happen
