In a sign of its anger at reports that forged Australian passports may have been used by suspects in the Dubai murder of Hamas leader, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, the Ambassador of Israel has been spoken to, sternly, by the Foreign Minister, Stephen Smith.
“He really was quite firm with the Ambassador”, said a spokesman for the Foreign Minister. “We didn’t even offer him a cup of tea”.
“When we asked what arrangements we should make for the visit, Mr Smith said that we were only to provide water, on request. He said, ‘I’m not having them [the Israeli delegation] enjoying our yummy ginger snaps when I feeling as cranky as this’.”
“He [Smith] was quite quivery during the meeting”, said an insider.
In the face of the dressing down from the Australian Foreign Minister, the Israeli security agency, Mossad, was said to be reviewing its tactics and possibly renouncing the use of violence in the defence of Israel.
“We've had along hard look in the mirror and we're a bit ashamed at what we've been doing for the last sixty years”, said a senior Mossad commander.
“Good luck with the roofing insulation problems”, he added, “We can only imagine how tough it must be for the Australian people to cope with a threat to safety as serious as that”.
