So far, the Dumbai Police Cheif has yet to convince any law enforcement agency in the entire world that anything he has said is remotely true.

If he had any real evidence and real identities of suspects-- arrest warrants would be flooding the world.

But, as typical- nothing but finger pointing, hand waving and jaw flapping.

He should put up--or shut up!

When you are falsely accused of a wrongdoing, then rub that wrongdoing in the faces of the accusers. If the Dubai police chief wants to turn himself into a traveling circus promoting how dangerous it is to kidnap, torture, execute and mutilate Israeli soldiers, let him!

The laugh it seems is on the entire Arabic world that is eating up day after day of half baked speculations and false clues by Inspector NotAClue.

All of those Arabic terrorists are now looking behind their backs for the assassins breathing down their necks.

A.Smith many things can be proved, but we really on a free and unbiased media to make proof public. Any idea where such a media can be found?

If Watergate was not uncovered, we would all be taught that the thought of such deeds was a false allegations made by people running around like headless chickens.

Therefore you would do well to realize that governments don't immediately declassify proof for a reason, the reason is deception.

Remember the weapons of mass destruction scam. Then your government had proof of things which never existed. So what has the definition of truth become? Is it whatever your government controlled media tells you?

John A,

It is well known that Israel has about the most free and unbiased media.

Good reporting as usual Ms Hancock,...but I'm still dumbfounded by t his perplexing quagmire,...? Thanks Paula

Miriam, more constructive self criticism.... Obviously I'm being sarcastic.

I have asked you this question before and you failed to answer. Possibly this is an opportunity to ask again. So, is there a single thing you would criticize Israel for or in your eyes does Israel remain perfect?

You will note the problem with most Israelis is the inability to answer this question. All other peoples from all other nations try to hold their governments accountable, which is the only way to achieve good government. Sadly Israeli's tend to be like Miriam i.e. "we are the most democratic, we have the best media and we are the least corrupt". bla bla bla

Clearly any neutral observer will then ask why Israel has so many issues that it has failed to deal with and why does Israel resolve issues with military?

How can Israel even claim to be democratic when it initiated an exodus of Palestinians from Palestine and now refuses to let those people who were born in the land to return. Israel does not accept the majority of people born in the land and has turned them into refuges, simply because they are not Jewish. And again their will be no confession of guilt from Israel, they will like Miriam keep on telling the lie and hope that the rest of us will believe it.

So go on Miriam answer the question and tell us about Israels faults!! After all you are fantastic at taking the speck of dust from your brothers eyes, why dont you be equally fantastic as to take the plank from your own eye.

John A,

If you had any knowledge of Israeli society and politics you would realize how rediculous your comments are.

There's plenty wrong with Israeli policy and that is up to the Israeli people to express which they do so in frequent elections and in other frameworks.

You state that all other nations hold their governments accountable.
That is an obvious stretch of the imagination. In fact Israel's government is held accountable continually by an over-free media and a population whose freedom of expression is probably unequalled.

Arabs initiated war on the Jewish state and as a result Arabs were unfortunately, deceitfully, encouraged to flee by their Arab leaders who promised them a quick return once the Jews were destroyed.Jewish leaders actually encouraged them to stay.

Simultaneously, Jews in Arab lands were expelled, turned into refugees, with the majority returning to the land of their ancestors and absorbed into society.

Those Arabs who did not flee from Israel remain in the land and are Israeli citizens with more democratic and civil rights than any Arab across the Middle East and probably Europe as well.

Two Britons have been sentenced to a month's imprisonment for indecency after a local woman took objection to them kissing in a restaurant.

It appears that harboring a Internationally known terrorist, a known kidnapper, a person that appears to have claimed to had a direct part in the murder and then the mutilation of two Israeli soldiers is nothing worthy of even the consequence of mentioning for Dubai, however two UK citizens kissing one another in a Dubai restaurant warrants 30 days in jail.

A. Smith,

The UAE's year old media law doesn't permit the criticism of the government or the economy.

It is no surprise that what is reported from the emirate has to be taken with a large pinch of salt.

The story that the Arab League forced the Palestinians to leave has been disproved, simply by reading declassified Israeli, CIA, and British intelligence sources. They were forced out through faked radio broadcasts, and massacres of civilians by Irgun and Lehi terrorists. Some of those terrorists, of course, went on to be politicians. What a country!

Now why would such a blameless society lie for so long, Miriam?

Rachael,

I didn't mention the Arab League although in 1946, soon after its formation, it had suggested that women and children be evacuated to their countries in event of war.

Many took up the offer knowing that hostilities were growing and because the economic situation was deteriorating.

The Arab leaders I refered to were the internal ones.
Initially Christian Arabs left out of fear and intimidation by Muslims and then Muslims fled, raising worry from the internal leadership, the Arab Higher Committee and National Committees, who then intimidated them into not leaving by confiscating and burning property and spreading propaganda.

This had limited success since most of the National Committee leaders had themselves fled setting a presidence and an example to the rest of the population who were falsely led to believe that Arab victory was imminent and they would be returning.

Rachel the US Liberty was attacked by Israel and it was agreed with the US government that Egypt should be blamed. This was a US / Israeli way to blame Arabs for aggression and allow Israel to expand in the pretence of a defensive campaign. Even though it was Israel who started the agression under false flag attacks.
This is also declassified under Israeli, American and British intelligence sources

John A

Your revisionist rewriting of history and pathological hatred of Israel reminds me of Josef Goebbels' mind and behavior. Are you by any chance related to him? Sind Sie sein Enkel?

John A,

Stop spinning the story.

It was a mistake and misunderstanding.

That's war.

Miriam, the Lavon affair is also proof that Israel waged false flag attacks to blame Muslims and start a middle east war. It is proof that supports the claim that Israel has plotted war to expand its states boarders, ever since the UN allowed European Jewish refugees to have a state in Palestine. Basically it is more proof that you are wrong and your claims are garbage.

John A,

As previously discussed, the Lavon Affair involved a double agent and no intent by Israel to start a ME war that was already in process.

The re-establishment of a homeland for Jews dates back to the The League of Nations, The Balfour Declaration and historical Jewish nationalism, all of which preceeded WW2.
