The Media Review Network expresses its disgust at the level of chutzpah displayed by the Israeli racist regime in the murder of a member of Hamas, Mahmoud al- Mabhouh in Dubai last month.

Despite Israeli government denials, there are clear indications that the killing of the Palestinian bears the brutal hallmarks of Mossad, the Israeli spy service. The crime of murder perpetrated outside the conflict zone reflects the arrogance and disdain Israel holds for International Law, and other nations.

Israel’s irresponsible and dangerous act of stealing the British, Irish, French and German Jewish identities has exposed the lives of the innocent to high risk. In many botched Mossad operations in Paris, Nicosia, Athens, Beirut and Amman, using Canadian and other European fraudulent passports, innocent civilians were massacred.

Apartheid south africa’s intelligence services applied the same futile modus operandi when they killed or injured freedom fighters such as Ruth First, Albie Sachs and Frank Chikane.

The recent Carte Blanche expose’ that Mossad agents were operating at O R Tambo airport with diplomatic passports issued by the Israeli government, is of grave concern for the South African government and its citizens.

The Media Review Network has previously warned of self-styled “terror experts and agents” hatching sinister plots to promote the climate of fear in South Africa.

Stealing the identities and passports of ordinary civilians to cloak their despicable crimes for ominous agendas during the world cup is a real possibility.  South Africa needs to be alert to the dangers posed by plots manufactured by Mossad, masterfully incriminating the innocent for its evil deeds.

Those who leaf through the secret files of any intelligence service know what grave mistakes bad intelligence can lead to. But they also know that sometimes even excellent intelligence doesn't change a thing.

The Israeli intelligence community is now learning this lesson the hard way. It has penetrated enemies like Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Hezbollah and Hamas. Yet despite former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's willingness to authorize highly dangerous operations based on this intelligence, and despite the unquestionable success of the operations themselves, the overall security picture remains as grim as ever.

In 2002, then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon appointed his friend and former subordinate, Gen. Meir Dagan, director of the Mossad. Gen. Dagan found the organization lacking in imagination and shying away from operational risks. Mr. Sharon, who knew Gen. Dagan from his days as head of a secret assassinations unit that acted against Fatah in the Gaza Strip during the 1970s, told the general that he wanted "a Mossad with a knife between its teeth."

The media may revel in a Mossad hit, yet Britain's response to a plot that could threaten its own citizens has been craven

Imagine for a moment what the reaction would be if ­Iranian ­intelligence was almost ­unversally believed to have ­assassinated a leader of one of the organisations fighting the Tehran government in a western-friendly state. Then consider how Britain, let alone the US, might respond if the killers had carried out the ­operation ­using forged or stolen passports of ­citizens of four European states, including Britain, with dual Iranian nationality.

You can be sure it would have ­triggered a major international storm, stentorian declarations about the threat of state-sponsored terrorism, and ­perhaps a debate at the UN ­security council, with demands for harsher ­sanctions against an increasingly ­dangerous Islamic republic.
