The Argentinian prosecutor in charge of investigating the bombing at the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) in Buenos Aires on July 18, 1994, has accused Iran of infiltrating several South American countries and building intelligence stations from which terrorist attacks could be planned and carried out.
Alberto Nisman issued a 502-page indictment on Wednesday placing responsibility for the bombing, which killed 85 people, on the highest authorities in the Islamic Republic.
Cristina Fernandez’s administration is trying to whitewash the crime. Her administration tried to invite Iran to help in the investigation, which was preposterous. Her government tried to cut a deal with Iran.
But, someone in Argentina is standing up to her.
Editted June 1st
The Argentine judiciary is fighting back against the Argentine government and also against a lot of Latin American countries who collaborate with Iran.
This new report is a slap in the face to the Argentine President, and much of Latin America.
The is the UGEP (General Union of Palestinian Students) in Chile.
The Palestinians are elites in Chile, and they are swinging the policies of an up and coming Chile. Chile is now first world, and the rising star of Latin America.
FREE PALESTINE Building a bridge of dialogue in place of a Separational Wall.
The General Union of Palestinians Students (UGEP in Spanish) is not a small force to be ignored.
Yasser Arafat came out the Mideastern Branch of the Palestinian Student Union.
As you can see by that map on the poster, above, The UGEP does not recognize Israel at all. As far as the UGEP is concerned, all of Israel is Palestine.
The video above portrays idealistic Chilean Youth. No doubt, many are. What the video does not show is that the UGEP advocates the destruction of Israel. The poster’s words advocate dialogue. The poster’s map advocate destruction.
The UGEP, even in Chile where almost all Palestinians are Christian, advocates a very hard party line.
It may not look as severe because the women are Christians, and not burqa clad women with their roiling tongue curdling screams; but in the end, they advocate no less that their Muslim cousins.
Note: My own view is nuanced: Historically, the Jew have the best claim to Israel for many reasons. I do not see Jews as invaders to their own patrimony in the Mideast. The Jews do have a claim to the land.
But, sadly, neither can I deny that the Israelis ethnically cleansed the Palestinians in 1948 and 1967, nor that Palestinians were and are mistreated. No nation is perfect. We Americans were not perfect. Chile – the nation these youth live in how – was guilty of ethnically cleansing its Mapuche and Quechua Indians. No nation is perfect.
Innocent people were hurt in 1948; and yes, that includes innocent Arabs.
Unlike these youth, I do NOT think the destruction of Israel as a homeland for the Jews is the answer. That would be insane. Destroying or re-defining the Jewishness out of Israel is not the answer to the problem.
Israel has a right to be the homeland for the Jewish people.
There is too much hurt, too much history, and too much blood, for the Jews to surrender their state.
Sadly, there is too much hurt, too much history, and too much blood, for the Palestinians to forget.
Islam is too radicalized for the Israeli Jews to trust their fate to a one-state solution, which allows for the Palestinians to return; and which restores an angry Islamic majority to the land. Israeli Jews will never do it. Nor should they be asked to dissolve their state.
THE BEST SOLUTION!
I think the best solution is to pay the Palestinians to leave for the West, preferably South America, which has history of assimilating the Arabs well.
Pay them well… about $100,000 per Palestinian.
This may not be a totally just solution, but it is the least destructive. I know it is awful to ask the Palestinians to surrender their claims to the land; but the only alternative is nuclear war – a nuclear war where they would be targeted.
I know some will say: It is not right to write the Palestinians out of history. You are right!
Indeed it is wrong to write the Palestinians out of history.
It would be FAR MORE WRONG to write Israel out of history.
Ultimately – as cruel as it may sound – this cold logic applies: If there are 22 Arab states, it would be wrong to dismantle the only Jewish state to correct the injustice and to restore another Arab state.
It is wrong to deny the Palestinians a right to return, but it is MORE WRONG to dismantle Israel as the homeland for the Jews.
There is no completely just solution here … only a less destructive one.
Denying Israel is NOT the answer.
The Jewish right to Israel and Jerusalem is solid.
I am not saying Palestinians were not hurt; but the destruction of Israel is NOT the answer.
Finally, there is a spiritual side to this.
On the spiritual side, Israel is totally right. There may be some political wrongs, but in the end, Israel has the better claim.

Chilean ambassador accuses foreign media of mischaracterizing government role in plans to export freshwater run-off from Patagonian ice field to Middle East.
A Middle Eastern newspaper caused a storm of controversy in Chile this week after publishing an article stating that Qatar would import water extracted from melting glaciers in Patagonia.
…
This story is beyond odd, with breaking reports and denials, then more breaking reports.
The odd thing is that Northern Chile’s Atacama desert is the driest place on earth with water shortages.
Why would a company export water to literally the opposite end of the planet when his own country needs it.
…the fifth factor was the call by the Arab governments to the inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it (Palestine) and leave for the bordering Arab countries. Since 1948, it is we who have demanded the return of the refugees, while it is we who made them leave. We brought disaster upon a million Arab refugees by inviting them and bringing pressure on them to leave. We have accustomed them to begging…we have participated in lowering their morale and social level…Then we exploited them in executing crimes of murder, arson and throwing stones upon men, women and children…all this in the service of political purposes…
— Khaled el-Azm, Syrian prime minister after the 1948 War, in his 1972 memoirs, published in 1973..
The Muslim world is using the Palestinian Arabs as a ploy. So far it is working. In 1948, much of the world supported Israel. Now much of the world blames Israel.
To expect the Arabs to take in the Palestinians is a False Hope
They have set up protocols which demand that no Arab state naturalize any Palestinian at all. The official reason is to maintain their claim on Palestine. They are condemned to be a stateless people.
In 1950, the UN set up the United Nations Relief and Works Agency as a “temporary” relief effort for Palestinian refugees. Former UNRWA director Ralph Galloway stated eight years later that, “the Arab states do not want to solve the refugee problem. They want to keep it as an open sore, as a weapon against Israel. Arab leaders do not give a damn whether Arab refugees live or die.” The only thing that has changed since then is the number of Palestinians cooped up in these prison camps.
In Fact, We can expect the Muslim World to resist any Solution
The Muslim states will thwart any effort that does not include the return of so many Palestinian Arabs as to destroy Israel.
It is more than just the Muslim states. Many Palestinians Arab refugees insist on the right of return, and will not give it up – though far less are this strident than will admit it publicly.
I say Muslim states, because I doubt if any non-Arab Muslim states will help either.
The Palestinian problem, if it is to be solved, must look outside the Arab world to find a solution.
