A
German TV new segment reports (German/video) that
recently several Mossad agents were found monitoring the progress of a
German-built nuclear-armed Dolphin submarine headed through a northern German
canal to Israel. The Mossad spies were presumably offering security or
monitoring the progress of the sub near the shipyard where it was built on the
Baltic as it made its way through the canal to the North Sea (and from there to
the Atlantic).  I suspect they were offering security in case someone
sought to harm the sub or videotape it as it sailed on the surface of the
canal.

In
order to track the sub, the bungling spies rented a car and stashed their
automatic weapons (!) in the car.  But they didn’t foresee that the ground
along the canal would be muddy from winter rain.  Nor did they rent a
vehicle with four wheel drive.  To top it all off, they entered a
forbidden zone along the canal, where their vehicle promptly got stuck in the
mud.

At
first, asking for help, they [the Mossadniks] had approached a local elderly
lady, who notified the mayor. They explained to the mayor that they were
investigating the environment because they were planning to sail the channel
this upcoming summer.** This sounded “funny” to the mayor, [no one “sails” in
the channel since it’s too dangerous–everyone uses their engines] and he called
the police, who found two automatic weapons (“Maschinenpistolen”) in the trunk.
At this point, they changed their story, claiming to hold Israeli diplomatic
status, and that they were there to monitor the German/Israeli submarine
(transponder: NOK28), which true enough passed through the channel on that day.

The
Germans then ordered a tractor to pull them out of the mud. The bill: 1263€.
The town mayor was pretty upset to find Israeli spies in his jurisdiction.
 Especially when he had to pay the bill for their ineptitude.  So he
sent the bill to the Israeli embassy for immediate payment!  He also
wondered how it was that Mossad agents were entitled to carry automatic weapons
in their vehicle.

It
is absolutely shameful for any Mossad agent to be forced to blow his cover on
foreign soil.  These guys were probably immediately shipped back the
Mossad HQ for retraining or cashiering!

Just
as Bibi Netanyahu and his polices are driving Israel into the mud, so too this
Mossad caper drove these poor shleppers into the mud.  Too many parallels
to let this go without comment!!

Here
is more background reporting on the Dolphin
submarine program which (in a dark irony) offers Israel the ability to
incinerate the Middle East in another Holocaust.

Thanks
for parsing some of the finer points of the news report go to a
German-speaking Facebook Friend.  And thanks for the passage translated
above to Jens
Moeller Andreasen. H/t to Christoph Germann for his tweet
on the original German TV story.
