Israel is free to respond as harshly as she likes. The United States will not condemn Israel, and will block any blowback in the Security Council.

It's unfortunate the recent deaths but to go around accusing others WITHOUT any shred of proof is terrorism by itself. Israel always plays the victim. They perfected that attitude. They should be granted a patent for it. Israel is looking for ANY excuse to start a war in the region and looking at this incident as that excuse. Find out who for sure did this and by all means bring them to justice but don't go around throwing statements like Netanyahu's. "Israel has the right of self-defense" is equivalent to the US line of "National security" nothing but a cover for irresponsible actions!!!

to attack these terrorists and regain the world's respect you got in 1967...

This is a very vague comment Israel has a right to defend itself, who are we going to be defending ourselves from right now and how? If it is proven to be Hezbollah will we start Lebanon 3 or if its Iran what then, will we start firing missiles at them? Also when the US says Israel has a right to defend itself most of the time and all of the time under Obama its just empty words. He has pretty much told Bibi he is not allowed to go after Assad's WMDS, if thats would not be self defense I don't know what is but Obama has told Bibi thats a no no. Great political speeches that are nothing but empty words to make some news headlines.

they are not sure about what to do and who Dunnit one day iran next day alqaeda third day hizballah fourth day the man from denver colorado every one is lost

I'm sick of this has the right stuffs...everybody has the right, we have the right but we never fight back... who cares what america say,s or what the union? our people died, our business, and bulgaria's business too. so time to ignore everybody who does not belong to us, and time to finish our campaigns

America never came to help during WWII despite knowing millions of Jews were being exterminated., they only entered the war when Japan attacked them. America talked peace when Saddam was building Osirak reactor, but after Israel did the hard work, was able to invade & take over Iraq easily. America is 10,000 miles from Iran, Israel is next door. America is more worried about their economy, Israel their survival. Israel - do what has to be done....before its too late.....Attack NOW !

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gloated publicly on Thursday over the deaths of Israelis in a terror bombing in Bulgaria, and hinted that Iran was responsible for the attack. “They have indeed succeeded in inflicting blows upon us more than once, but have been rewarded with a far stronger response.” So what is Israel waiting for anymore ? So what further evidence is needed ??? Tell Obama, Ashton & P5.1 to jump in the nearest sewer. Bomb Iran now or be nuked.

I note that israeli politicians keep arguing for the right to defend itself. Israel obeys the rule of law better than most countries but notwithstanding, it doesn't seek US approval for its defence. it will defend its people againt all terror, the rotten illegal filth of the mullah regime and killers of NADA, against any and all if it comes to that. So Israel should stop seeking approval. Do what you have to do. Replace barak with yaalon will give the idf a new life.

Of course it was Hezbollah. Of course it was ordered by Iran. Nasrallah does not dare use the bathroom unless Iran approves. That's why he wears the Port-a-Potty on his head.

Let's see. Iranians have been arrested and detained in Azerbaijan, India, Thailand, Kenya, South Africa and now, as we have come to learn, in more places in incidents which were not made public. Interrogations have revealed that Hezbollah has been an active participant. How much more proof do you want? It isn't Israel that is anxious to start a regional war. First of all, there is plenty of basis for Israel to do precisely that -- Iran's threats and oft-stated goal to effect the destruction of the "Zionist entity" is casus belli enough; as are the missiles and mortar fire and thwarted terrorist attacks stemming from Gaza, and Hezbollah's arms build-up in direct contravention of United Nations resolutions and the 2006 cessation of hostilities, in which Hezbollah agreed it would not stockpile weapons. Moreover, it was the United States' ambassador to Israel who made the statement "Israel has the right to defend itself," and the United States and Bulgaria have both acknowledged that the suicide bombing in Bulgaria was the work of Iran and Hezbollah, acting in concert. But plenty of justification for an Israeli pre-emptive strike against Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas existed long before the carnage in Bulgaria.

says one thing in public and tells Netanyahu in private, don't do anything until after the election. If he were serious, the US would lob a cruise missile right into Nasrallah's cave.

Both the US and the EU is solidly in the grip of - what scientifically called Cultural Marxism. What does it mean? The PolCorr. social speech laws, Multikultism-Diversity mantra legally prohibit the curtailing of extremist Muslim activities, opposing citizens are accused of "civil rights violations", frequently prosecuted with frivolous charges. Pointing out to Islamic terror worldwide is called "islamophobia", "racism" (?=Islam is not a race) and other labels by the Socialist Western leaders. At the same time the rabid anti Israeli hate campaign will intensify by the BBC, Guardian and N.Y. Times which provide moral justification to Islamic terror. It's called "moral relativism": there is no more good or bad, every creed equal in moral value. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" axiom falls into this criteria. It's going to be worse, much worse as time wore on. Unfortunately we cannot do much. As long as Western citizens condone their leaders policies, - including Islamization - and vote for them, the Apocalypse is a very real proposition.

I support Israel -those terrorists and the ones who ordered the hit should be taken out ,PERIOD!!!But Israel has lost that deterrent under the current government ,for sometime now.It's as if the PM and the defence minister are taking orders from an islam loving idiot sitting in the white house.If no action is taken now ,there will be zero respect from Israels' enemies!God bless Israel and let her enemies flee in terror before her.

According to Goldstone and numerous Israeli NGOs like Shalom Achshav and Shovrim Shtika, Israel does not have the right of self-defense.

any group of israelis is a target anywhere on earth; jewish people are so poorly informed of the danger to jews all over the world; really the only safe spot is north america

Why should the U.S. lob a missile anywhere, this is Israel's problem. As the ambassador said, Israel has the right and can defend itself. This is a shadow war and the U.S. is not going to war for anyone, anywhere.

According to ADL Muslims is beyond criticism: "...sweeping accusations by members of Congress against American citizens who are Muslim are unfair and misguided," Robert G. Sugarman and Abraham H. Foxman, the national chair and national director of the Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement." (Google)

Asked whether the United States was concerned about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement, accusing Iran – via Hezbollah – of orchestrating the attack, especially given the growing tensions vis-à-vis Tehran over its nuclear program, Shapiro said that "Israel has the right to defend itself." Could someone explain to me how the response "Israel has the right to defend itself" relates to whether the US government is concerned with Bibi's statement?

you should be more worried about "blowbacks" to your numerous vacation homes and yachts.

Ahminanutjob's days are now numbered. Vengeance is mine sayeth The L_rd.

Watch out Charger, some one is charging your a$$...

Israel has the right to defend itself !!unfortunately he cowidly offcials always cell un usa to devise useless american ways

Most likely, this terror attack was a respone to the killing of four nuclear scientist in Iran, during last years.

If like me your disgusted with pansy obama, vote for ROMNEY!!

The Muslims terror did not start during the last years. Just remember Munich, Entebbe, Argentina, London...just to name a few. What is your justification for blowing up Jews all over the world?

and she talks out of both sides of her tochas.
