SYDNEY - Australia secretly forced a senior Israeli diplomat to leave the country, and neither Israel nor Australia wanted to comment about the matter, according to a newspaper report.

The Sydney morning Herald said the effective expulsion of the Canberra-based diplomat -- described as a consul in Israel -- was covered up for several weeks.

But it said the matter had come to light in a report in the Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv.

It said inquiries about the story last night were met by no comments from the Australian government.

The Ma'ariv newspaper speculated there might be some connection with last year's scandal in which two alleged agents of the Israeli spy service, Mossad, were arrested in New Zealand.

The arrest came after they were caught trying to fraudulently obtain passports.

The Sydney Morning Herald said it had been told by a source close to the Israeli cabinet that the reason for the incident must have been serious, given the friendly relations between the two countries.

Probably military industrial espionage that they could steal, take credit for, and then sell to China.

[exit82]

Well, it is obviously not a secret anymore, if this guy is writing about it.

[CzarNicky]

so you're saying they weren't industrial spies?

[GladesGuru]

Since you raised the "smartness" issue of religious groups, consider this: The survivors of the failed German experiment with socialism under the Third Reich went to what was to become Israel and founded a socialist theocracy.

Arguably, none of those survivors was from the gene pool that won any of those Nobel Prizes.

so you're saying they weren't industrial spies?

They might be and they might not. You want to argue a moot point?
What prompted that responce was constant tying of Israel to China as mode of Israel-bashing, while omitting that it was the US own Clinton administration, which armed China with strategic capabilities.

[CzarNicky]

Granted at least Israel got paid for selling stuff to China. Only Clinton got the money in our case.

Hm, so, it was jews who ruled the whatever-reich?

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Being Jewish, I wonder if you are aware of a certain brilliant figure from the past, namely the Jewish orthodox rationalist, Mar Samuel, of the Academy of Sara, Babylon, from about the year 220 ace. He made a famous decision, which by the way most affected the Jews, and was expressed in the phrase, Dina d'malchuthah dina—"The law of the land is the law for us." This means that it was the duty of all people including the Jews to obey the laws of the countries in which we live.

Jeremiah's famous quote, which should be etched into every adult's consciousness, including yours, was "Seek the peace of the country whither ye are exiled and pray to the Lord-for its welfare." The ultimate result of Samuel's dictum was that the better the Jew, the better the patriot.

Many people of whatever nationality visit another land and have no interest in the welfare of it's people. They come to rape and plunder, whether it be physically, financially or socially. Showing responsibility to humankind in general is much higher than showing responsibility to one's tribe.
