The british are some of the most hypocritical people on the planet. Here they have been caught saying one thing and doing another. Over the last year there was an uproar over the Mahmoud al-Mabhouh liquidation mission that Israel special forces carried out in Dubai. At the time the Israeli agents were accused of using british passports. The british diplomats got their underwear in bunches over this and rebuked Israeli diplomats over this. They were outraged that Israel would use British passports, How could they?
But it turns out the british also use forged passports for their special forces agents. Just the other day several british intelligence officers were caught in Libya carrying 4, count them FOUR different countries passports on them.
Where is the outrage that brittain is using forged documents? There is absolute silence on the world diplomatic channels.... The silence is deafening...
It must be wrong for Israel to do, but not for brittan?
Can you smell the HYPOCRISY?
http://israelmatzav.blogspot.com/2011/03/when-you-do-it-its-outrage-and-when-we.html When you do it, it's an outrage, and when we do it....Fortunately for Britain, David Miliband (pictured) is no longer the foreign secretary, or this could look really embarrassing.
Miliband, as you might recall, was the foreign secretary a year ago, who called Israel's alleged use of British passports in its alleged Mahmoud al-Mabhouh liquidation an 'outrage,' and after expelling an Israeli diplomat, insisted on a written commitment from Israel never to do it again as a precondition for being allowed to name a replacement (I don't know whether that last condition was ever fulfilled).
On Monday, I reported on a group of British intelligence officers being caught by Libyan rebels in Beghazi. The report mentioned that the agents were carrying 'multiple passports.' What that report didn't mention is that the agents were carrying "passports from at least four different nationalities."
At least three of those four countries were not Britain. Were the foreign secretaries of those countries 'outraged'? Was Mr. Miliband? Was current foreign secretary William Hague? Are the Brits going to promise those four countries that they will never ever use their passports like this again? Are those four countries going to expel any British diplomats?
Does anyone else smell a double standard here?
