    Israel has refused to confirm or deny its agents’ involvement in the January slaying of Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. Dubai officials say assassins using 32 fake passports — including eight depicting fictional Irish citizens — participated in the hit squad.

    Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said Tuesday his government is expelling one member of Israel’s embassy staff in Dublin after an investigation reached “the inescapable conclusion that an Israeli government agency was responsible.”

    Martin says the unnamed official was not being specifically blamed for forging passports.

    Is this by the same Prime Minister who thanked the Jews a couple of weeks ago for helping them in their time of need?

    Seems the world needs another 9/11 to teach them the necessity of eliminating terrorists without crying over some fake passports.

    The policy of Irish neutrality during World War II was adopted by Dáil Éireann (the Parliament of Ireland) at the instigation of Éamon de Valera, its Taoiseach (Prime Minister) upon the outbreak of hostilities in Europe and maintained throughout the conflict. De Valera refrained from joining either the Allies or Axis powers. While the possibility of both a German or a United Kingdom invasion were discussed in the Dáil, de Valera’s ruling party, Fianna Fáil, supported his policy for the duration of the war. This period is known in Ireland as the Emergency, owing to the wording of the constitutional article employed to suspend normal government of the country.

    Pursuing a policy of neutrality required attaining a balance between the strict observance of non-alignment and the taking of practical steps in order to repel or discourage an invasion from either of the two concerned parties.
