Subject: RE: BS: Israel condemned by UN
Israel and others countries have accused Iran and Hezbollah of carrying out attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets around the world. Hezbollah has denied involvement in some and not commented on others.

Since 1994 attacks alleged to have been by hezbollah:-

""2008: Azerbaijan officials say they foiled a plot to explode car bombs near the Israeli Embassy in retaliation for the killing in Syria of a top commander in Hezbollah. Two Lebanese men are later convicted in Baku for the bombing attempt.""

Two convicted Lebanese suggests that this is a Hezbollah action.

""Nov. 2011 and Jan. 2012: A Swedish-Lebanese man is accused of planning attacks on Israeli citizens in Cyprus in a case that Israel has said bears similarities to the Bulgaria attack. Israel says the accused was a Hezbollah operative who used the same method as the Burgas suicide bomber, but offered no evidence.""

He was "accused of planning". "Israel said he was a Hezbollah operative, but offered no evidence." Extremely shaky claim with little, if any, credibility.

""February 13, 2012: A bomb attached to an Israeli diplomat's car in India blows up, injuring four people, while a similar bomb is found in Georgia and safely defused. The attacks appear to mirror recent killings of Iranian nuclear scientists that Iran blamed on Israel.""

Where is the Hezbollah connection?

""February 14, 2012: In Thailand, an Iranian man carrying grenades blows off his own legs and wounds four civilians after an earlier blast shook his house in Bangkok. Thai police detain three men they say were planning to attack Israeli diplomats.""

Again, where is the Hezbollah connection?

""July 18, 2012: A bomb explodes in a tourist bus in the Bulgarian resort town of Burgas, killing five Israelis, their Bulgarian driver and the bomber. Bulgarian investigators blame Hezbollah and say the plotters included a Canadian and an Australian. They find no links to Iran.""

Hezbollah has flatly denied involvement which, of course, doesn't mean much, but their involvement is by no means certain.

Five incidents in nineteen years which, when they are examined, lead to what conclusion?

Two have no discernible connection with Hezbollah
One has a shaky connection with no evidential back up.
One, the latest, is flatly denied, but may be a Hezbollah act.
One, the earliest, most likely (but not certainly) a Hezbollah act.

They must certainly be terrifying the Israelis.

You know Keith, I would have thought by now that you would do a little research beyond Israel's Department of Propaganda.
