According to an unnamed source cited by London's Sunday Times, Israel was in fact behind last months assassination of a top Hamas operative in Dubai, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally authorized the hit.
The Israeli source told the newspaper that Netanyahu visited Mossad headquarters in early January and was told of a plan to take out Hamas commander Mahmoud al-Mabhouh shortly after he checked into his hotel in Dubai. According to the report, Netanyahu wished the best of luck to Mossad chief Meir Dagan and several of the agents who were to take part in the hit.

Tsk, tsk -- how dare they libel Bibi????
I like Bibi.
Unknown / anonymous source... I’m both, and I can now reveal that Fatah was behind the hit, which was authorized by Abu Mazen.
Something occurs to me -— sure, there’s lots of antisemetic babble & drivel in the Arab & European press, but I haven’t noticed any pronouncements by either our SOS or our POTUS, and even the UN seems particularly quiescent. Even Joe Biden hasn’t offered anything utterly untoward.
I’m sorry sunkenciv, but you must be mistaken, you see many many many threads ago, yehuda already confessed. You must have missed his posting.
I just passed that video on to about 900 people on my e-mail list. Thanks.
Roflolololol . . . YOU get my vote for Posting.Of.The.Day Award.
Thank you.
man, wish we had some with stones like his.
well the POSOTUS has those stones...but he will kill patriots and anti-communists in general....much like his heroes Mao, Fidel, Che, and Stalin.
Good.

Same article posted here last night.
All speculation no evidence.

Report: Reports are often just for news, not truth.
Your theory is also valid. That the Mossad wanted everyone to know so was intentionally sloppy. That Mossad intentionally sent seven men in to do the job that needs three at the most (my guess). A big sloppy operation on purpose to send a message. A valid theory.
Israel has already offed and kidnapped a few Iranian nuclear scientists. So I have read
You can also add to the list The U S State Department, U S Executive Branch, The White House Executive Staff and numerous members of Congress.
Yup. But it's entertaining, and has the Euros panties in a wad. Interesting, in Afghanistan or Iraq the same Euros would support sending a missle in through the window, civilians be damned, but killing a terrorist one on one, that's not nice.
The hit was Fatah all the way. And the only way that the Palis can pin it on Mossad, as stupid and bumbling as Fatah/Palestinians are, is to have a complicit media shill the lies. It does accomplish one thing though: this foolishness leads Palis to believe Mossad is this inept, and thus future wet work becomes easier.
man, wish we had some with stones like his.We did. It was GWB. History is going to be incredibly kind to him....
Not at all. GWB whizzed away a half decade doing nothing while Iran was going nuclear, despite being right next door looking for, of all things, "WMDs."
Moreover GWB's policy is EXACTLY the same as Osama's policy - doing nothing and giving Iran all the time they need.
GWB's only accomplishment in that area was to eliminate Iran's arch enemy since the 7th century and allow them to spend their defense dollars on nuclear weapons development.
Now we're on the brink. He'll be remembered all right, but not kindly.
“But figured that Dubai would not and could not deploy them effectively...so the heads of security at the airport and hotel were foreigners. “
I find it very hard to believe the security experts in Israel would not be aware of foreign security workers in Dubai. I’m sure whichever country did the “job” was well aware of every minute detail.
Seems to me the controlled global media is trying to put it on Israel. Probably certain countries want to try to push out Netanyahu, as another poster has already stated. I hope Israeli citizens stand with him.
So What. This is the way it is done. It’s always been done like this. Except in Israel they are hero’s, here Holder would hold a public trial and apologize to the Muslims.
