Israel believes Iran was behind latest attacks on its embassies in India and Georgia
Posted: February 13, 2012 Filed under: Islam and the Jews 15 Comments »PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran, and its proxy Hezbollah, are responsible for a string of attempted attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets abroad in recent months, including in Thailand and Azerbaijan.
Hindustan Times The cloak-and-dagger war between Iran and Israel arrived in India on Monday afternoon. An Israeli embassy vehicle was bombed, less than 300 meters from the Prime Minister’s residence, injuring an embassy official, the driver of the car as well as two occupants of the car right behind.
Though Delhi Police chief B K Gupta didn’t confirm it as a terror attack, Tel Aviv immediately pointed its finger at long-time enemy Iran and said the attack won’t be taken “lying down”. A similar plot was foiled hours before the Delhi blast in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, where a bomb attached to an Israeli embassy vehicle was defused.
Investigators, quoting eyewitnesses, say that a biker is suspected to have used a magnetic device to stick the explosive to the rear of the embassy car waiting at a red light and sped away. The explosive went off seconds later, setting the vehicle on fire and seriously injuring Talyeshova Koren, who works for the defence section of the embassy and is also the defence attache’s wife.
There is no closed-circuit camera coverage in the area either, making it even more difficult for police to track down the motorcycle’s number. The attack comes a day after after the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah deputy leader, Imad Mughniyah, who was killed in a car bomb attack. Hizbullah, with who Israeli has a running battle, blamed Tel Aviv for Mughniyah’s killing.
Iran and Israel have been waging an increasingly bloody covert war over the former’s nuclear weapons programme. At least five Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated over the past two years. Tehran has blamed Israel for the deaths and sworn retaliation.
The head of Israel’s internal intelligence service, Shin Bet, had said last month his agency had over the past year thwarted Iranian terror attacks on Israeli targets in Thailand, Turkey and Azerbaijan.
can’t say as i blame them
If Iran is behind these attacks, it’s funny how pathetic and cowardly Iran is!
Some day soon, someone is going to push Israel just too damn far,,, then all hell is out for noon and no pitch hot,,,
I only hope that America is gutsy enough to “Cover Israel’s Back”~!
GF, not with an Islamist in the White House.
Unfortunately, you are 100% right.
Of course the islamic muslimes are responsible and yes, they are cowards.
Who else but cowards would treat women and children as the islamists do?
American muslimes, despite how TLC tv lied, are no better than their low life counterparts around the world.
Good thing God is watching over His chosen people. Well, satan will lose again but he will have lots of company to join him and the islamists pedophile prophet.
They are going to end up getting the butts kicked big time!
I had an answer at one time…course, no one listens to my answers when they are soo..uh… violent(?)..I suggested before I found out about the Bedouin Muslims for Israel, I felt perfectly fine by suggesting that we cluster bomb Mecca during one of their Holidays. However, I don’t want any of the Bedouin(s) killed that support Israel.
Shalom,
I first saw news of these attacks in a mainstream media article with the headline “Exclusive: Iranian Payback? Hits on Israelis Mimic Attacks on Iran Scientists”. You can see that original article here: http://news.yahoo.com/exclusive-iranian-payback-bombings-israeli-targets-mimic-attacks-144627017–abc-news.html
I bring this up because it is a beautiful example of the moral equivolency game that is constantly being played in the media, especially when it comes to the atrocities and pathological nature of islam.
“Mimic” is actually an appropriate term here, as something that mimics something else is not equivolent to the thing it mimics, but a couterfeit of it put forth in an effort to deceive.
In this sense, islam mimics religion. There are enough similarities so that as long as islam is not examined closely, one might be deceived into believing that it is a religion, or even a “religion of peace” as its adherants so ardently claim. Any scrutiny, however, will expose its false and deceptive nature.
Back to the bombs. The surface similarities are simple; magnetic bomb attched to automobile in attack against government employee. The differences that stand out upon closer scrutiny show the predatory nature of the mimic: the attacks against Iranians were carried out against individuals who were actively working towards the goal of achieving the means to destroy, and were carried out in Iran; the attacks against Israelies were carried out against individuals, embassy employees, who were actively working towards peace, non-military personel who were in no way connected to the conflict with Iran, and were carried out in sovereign nations where neither Iran nor Israel has any authority.
Yes, if Israel did indeed kill the Iranian nuclear scientists, it was an act of war against Iran. No problem there; Iran has been at war with Israel since the inception of the Israeli sovereign state and it is high time that Israel respond in kind to those who continually declare war against it and calll for the anihilation of the Israeli nation and its populous. The almost surgical removal of individuals who are key to the escalation of Iran’s war against Israel is to be lauded as military and tactical restraint of thee highest order. Most other nations, if facing the threat imposed by Iran would have turned Iran into a parking lot by now, and they would be justified in doing so.
Yes, if Iran did indeed kill the Israeli diplomats, it was an act of war against Israel. Problem is, it was also an act of war against India and Georgia. Iran did not attack a military installation. Iran did not kill an Israeli scientist involved in the design or construction of weapons of mass destruction. No, Iran, in a cowardly move that is typical of islam, killed Israelis who were no threat to Iran, and did so in a way that violated the peace with two other sovereign nations.
This is similar to when the residents of the Gaza strip send a suicide bomber into a cafe full of civilians, and claim equivolency with the targeted attack by Israel against armed individuals who just finished launching a rocket attack against a school or neighborhood.
One man kills a man for molesting his child. Another man kills a man for rejecting his belief. Both result in one man being dead at the hands of another. The first is justice. The second is murder.
It is in the details that the distinction is evident between the two sides of this conflict. It is by their differences that the lack of moral equivolency is established.
Rabbi, that’s why I try to avoid the MSM in reporting cases like this but instead try to go to the country of origin.
Surprised Israel is so trusting would think they at least they would supply more bomb resistant vehicles to their embassy staff ! like mabey an armored hummer or one like obie runs around in.
Iran is and has been the real center for the bad guys for years. Shortly they will be gone.
Oh, it is SO on!!
I wonder why Israel doesn’t begin explaining to the Muslim world exactly why they’re hated? Jews during Mohammed’s time were familiar with the 300-some polytheistic gods worshipped by the Arabs – including their moon god to whom Mohammed’s father, Abdulah, was consecrated to as a child – long before Islam was ever conceived. Accepting such a ficticious entity as the G-d of Abraham was impossible, and Jews were willing to fight and die before betraying their faith. Arabs were willing to play along to loot the property of others, and when Mohammed died they learned their lives were forfiet to caliph Ba’kr’s killers, if they dared return to sanity. Muslims have apparently forgotten these realities, and need reminding.
Asslifters responsible for these attacks?! NO DOUBT! The time for Israel to blow their asslifter asses off the planet is RAPIDLY approaching! But unfortunately, as others have pointed out quite well, Israel cannot count on any help from our Asslifter-in-Chief! But as is ALWAYS the case, GOOD WILL triumph over EVIL in the final analysis!! So, GOODBYE ASSLIFTERS!!
The pot will continue to simmer until BO needs voter approval to get voted back in office. Then the simmer will become a roiling boil according to the MSM, then BO will act. He will sacrifice hundred or thousands as necessary to get back in office. If that happens the hand basket will burst into flames.
