Re: Wasn't a fromer Israeli Prime Minister at a meeting just above one of the explosions ?
So what? Let me add grist to your mill: there are an estimated 270,000+ Jews living in the UK, mostly in London... So it's even possible that British Jews are among the 50+ fatalities and 700+ casualties... But, as you know, the end justifies the means. Israeli fanatics who are currently fighting THEIR OWN IDF fellows in the Gaza Strip wouldn't flinch from bombing a "goy city" even though some fellow Jews get hurt in the process --chalk it up to "collateral damage".
