As a token reaction to Mossad’s purported forgery of British passports, the UK expelled an Israeli Embassy official—presumably, Mossad’s representative.
The expulsion is judicially unwarranted: there was no trial and the Brits were unable to assemble any evidence confirming Israeli involvement. The expulsion therefore effectively names Mossad’s chief as a criminal responsible for passport forgery and subject to arrest.
Let’s see if Israel would have the guts to expel a British Embassy official in retaliation, which is standard diplomatic procedure for self-respecting states.
The correct response is for Israel to shut down the British Embassy and send all British diplomats home. In cutting diplomatic ties with Britain, she should also put a stop to the flow of money to organizations such as Peace Now, which rely on British money to survive.
Netanyahu must take a stand. Nations like Britain are always happy to help Israel risk self-destruction. Israel does not need help from Britain, the U.S. or any nation to risk SELF-SURVIVAL.
