Netanyahu Blames Iran for Bulgaria Bus Bombing

Thursday, July 19, 2012

Bulgaria says it is likely that it was a suicide bomber who carried out an attack on a bus carrying Israeli tourists. At least six Israelis and a Bulgarian were killed, and more than 30 people injured.

Israel's Prime Minister has blamed Iran and promised a firm response. Correspondent for our partner the BBC Yolande Knell joins us to discuss the incident and what it means for relations in the Middle East.

And of course this is the quote the NPR highlights after the presentation from BBC which somehow manages to blame Israel for being bombed.
Am I the first to notice the NPR/BBC/NAZI/Islamism connections?

You worry about ... the Olympics... Nothing else is there to be worried about? Sure.
Human waste.

When millions of decent human beings, including Jewish children and elderly were buried or burned alive, primitive American "Jews" were bubbling about Hitler - Roosevelt dangerous games. Again, illiterate, primitive American
"Jews" are babbling and posturing. No decency, no shame.

Israel and Iran are playing a dangerous game of Chess.
Israel will continue to assassinate bigger Chess pieces like Iranian Nuclear Scientists in order to prevent Iran from developing its weapons and Iran will continue to knock off as many pawns as they can.

It is their war and casualties will happen on both sides. I am not making a judgement about it.

I worry about the upcoming Olympics
