The ministry said Israel thwarted a similar attack on an Israeli Embassy vehicle in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. The bomb was discovered before it went off.

This is why the US doesn't assassinate (well, not including drones). Once you legitimize an abhorrent act, you surely can't condemn it when said act affects comes full circle and hurts you. ...I think that is the essence of the golden rule.

During the next month we will hear everything construed through the lens of how it relates to Iran. The PR machine is in full-force: watch out America -- Bibi is coming for your sons.

>>Bibi is coming for your sons

Israel is quite capable to defend herself and even to help the US:

General George Keegan, former head of U.S. Air Force Intelligence has publicly declared that “Israel is worth five CIA’s.” He further stated that between 1974 and 1990, Israel received $18.3 billion in U.S. military grants. During the same period Israel provided the U.S. with $50-80 billion in intelligence, research and development savings, and Soviet weapons systems captured and transferred to the U.S. “

Stay strong Israel; we can defeat those Muslim terrorists that threaten your destruction. As an American, you have my support :)

This is nothing to do with religion. If its anything its retaliation for state-sponsored terror.

Israel has victimhood down to a science.

The Canadian news reported that Bibi said Iran did it although there's no evidence as such to suggest it was Iran; however it makes sense with israel assisinating it's civilian nuclear sceintists over the past two years.

What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander... Israel brings this trouble on it's self. The USA should suspend all relationships with this rogue state.

As the saying goes, with friends like this, who needs enemies.

The problems Israel has caused our country far outweighs any supposed advantages of maintaining our association.

We have spent far too much money and political capital propping up and defending what appears to be, ultimately, a non-viable state.

You've been watching too much Arab propaganda, or the BBC.
