    I don't understand this. Where are the “question marks”? Argie, or even German, nazis decided to use some “fellow-travellers” to kill Jews. Nazis hate Jews. So do Iranians. Iran is committed to wiping Israel off the planet. Isn't it obvious?

    The AMIA bombing was funded and organised by the Iranian government, with the active assistance of the argie government. Argie “governments” don't care about people.

    What is truly disgusting is how Jewish Timerman has got involved in the cover up/whitewash. No doubt his own money is more important!

    20 years and nothing to show for it is a despicable state of affairs.

    @ 1 & 2

    But we do not expect anything else, surely?

    Perhaps Israel could send MOSSAD in to 'sort it out', starting with Gollum hanging from the Casa Rosada after a night of 'discussion' with them.

    THAT would be a good start and there would not be a peep from TMBOA just in case they came to 'talk' with her.

    I think that would 'encourage' action.

    Good Call ChrisR.

    I hope someone 'has a word'. Light a little fire under 'los burros', so to speak.

    @3 If Mossad wanted to sort it out they would have done it long ago. But it doesn't seem they are interested.
    Everything has been covered up by our government and our intelligence services for some reason, so I don't think the perpretators will ever be caught.

    “Israel has no right to demand explanations; we're a sovereign state,” Timerman reportedly told the Israeli ambassador.“Israel doesn't speak in the name of the Jewish people and doesn't represent it. Jews who wanted or want to live in Israel moved there, and they are its citizens; those who live in Argentina are Argentine citizens. The attack was against Argentina, and Israel's desire to be involved in the issue only gives ammunition to anti-Semites who accuse Jews of dual loyalty.”

    Perhaps IF Argentina would defend its citizens, Israel wouldn't have to be critical...

    imbeciles various
    what has israel or, even worse, mossad got to do with this issue, you imbeciles x 1000.
    the amia is an argentinian association, and 95% of the victims, except 4 bolivian bricklayers, were argentinian (christians, jewish, we do not care, they were argentinians).
    anyway, none of your business, you nosey little islanders

    Oh my, #7
    Ignorance seems to be your best attribute.
    All I can say is that I'd hate to have the Mossad unhappy with me.

    @ 7 Polly

    You do not get the “Israel” thing at all do you, just like Gollum who IS a Jew?

    It would only take a few of these “Argentines” who wear funny clothes and have funny candlesticks in their houses to have a word with Israel and it would be “Carnage in the Casa Rosada”.

    That ha a good ring to it, I do hope it comes to pass before TMBOA has had it off on her toes.

    Jews throughout the world stick together on issues like this.

    ignorant 8
    unhappy with who, you ignorant x 1000?
    with menem, with la yegüa, with timerman, with d´elia, with who exactly?
    the whole country are unhappy with them.
    if the mossad wants to fry them, go ahead.

    jews throughout the world simply do not count.
    the ones who have a word here are the relatives of the victims (jews, christians, whatever), the other jewish associations, and the argentine people.
    guess you are confusing this attack with the attack on the embassy of israel.
    but as everybody already knows, you confuse everything, the whole time.

    ”jews throughout the world simply do not count.

    Sorry Pablo, when you attack people as a group because of their identity or affiliations, YOU don't get to decide how they respond to you.

    ” it's not fair, it's not fair.. ” ....... The Argentine Troll anthem !!!

    toy, you booby
    and what identity or affiliation is that?
    the amia and daia are argentinian jewish associations.
    again, you dumbass, the victims were argentinians + 4 bolivians
    the state of israel has not any right of interfere, as well as the state of bolivia has not any right of interfere either.

    it seems that you, like the other donkey, confuse this incident with the attack of the embassy, where israel has the obligation of intervene.

    and again, none of your business, nosey islanders

    Should know, I faintly remember El Al once briefly set up direct air service to Tel Avi to Buenos Aires just to ship a single trunk...
    What's facinating is that the contents of the trunk was originally from Germany.

    Israel (according to the Argentinian authorities) had no jurisdiction over the cargo. Of course, the current Israeli PM now is much more of a moderate and I'm sure will agree with #13 that it's none of the Mossad's business...

    13 soft head

    Sure,
    “We attacked you and killed innocent people because they are Jewish, but you are obligated to respond only in a manner that we approve of.”

    A lot like, we invaded your islands in a sneak attack to steal them. We took away the rights and freedoms and liberty o the civilian islanders and threatened women and children at gunpoint.
    Britain UNFAIRLY sent in military and killed our soldiers - unfair unfair!!”

    Does that ring a bell??

    What an idiot you are.
