The suspected homicide bomber who massacred 8 people in Bulgaria yesterday is pictured in this video released by the Bulgarian authorities. He is said to have carried a counterfeit American ID from Michigan. As you can see the backpack he wears is large enough to carry a substantial bomb.
PM Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the Iranians of carrying out this attack and it certainly has their fingerprints all over it. The Iranians attempted a similar terrorist operation on an Israeli tour bus in Bulgaria several months ago. The fact is the Iranians have terrorist cells operating all over Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America whose mission is to kill Jews and Americans.
The attack coincides with the anniversary of the deadly Iranian bombing of the Buenos Aires Jewish community center 18 years ago which slaughtered 85 Jews.
Let us stipulate that Seraphic Secret holds the Iranian IslamoNazis responsible for this atrocity. But we should all be aware of President Obama's exclusion of Israel from his Global Terrorism Forum. And in an ever greater outrage--and flight from reality--Israel is not listed in Obama's signature forum as a country whose itizens suffer from terrorism.
This is a video of the burning Israeli bus in the aftermath of the bombing.
For Obama and his Islamist BFF's Jewish blood is not just cheap--it does not exist.
As Anne Bayefsky reports:
Particularly telling is the recent roll out of the President's [Obama] signature global anti-terrorism institution, the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF). The GCTF was announced by Secretary Clinton last September, but in June and July it held its first "ministerial level plenary" and "High Level Conference on Victims of Terrorism." Successive announcements from state department officials from Clinton on down have described the GCTF as a "major initiative," "an international counterterrorism network as nimble and adaptive as our adversaries," "a global venue to identify essential priorities," and a "platform for senior counterterrorism policymakers and experts from around the world to devise solutions for addressing key counterterrorism challenges."
And yet, the Obama administration selected Turkey as its co-chair and then agreed to Turkey's request to veto Israel's participation.
The founding members of the GCTF include the EU and virtually all other members of the "Western European and Others" (WEOG) regional group of the United Nations - which the Obama administration has long claimed ought to include Israel - along with eleven Muslim-majority nations. According to Ambassador Daniel Benjamin, the State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism, the "key" Muslim states were included because they "are on the front lines in the struggle against terrorism." A criterion that should have put Israel at the top of his list, let alone outside the tent.
