Question:  Why would a bunch of Israelis go to Burgas on vacation?  I realize that it's a coastal resort, but what can you get there that you can't get in Tel Aviv? :hmm:

I don't know if you know this, but in israeli culture, vacation = travelling abroad, otherwise is not a "real" vacation.
- Where did you go on vacation this year?
- Tell Aviv.
- What?

That makes sense in such a small country.  I've heard good stuff about the Black Sea resorts actually.  Are there maybe closer ties between Israel and Bulgaria given that Bulgaria's the only Axis country that didn't ship their Jewish population to the concentration camps?

The Iran connection seems to be based on Bibi's statement and intelligence behind that's not public yet.  If so it could be a shift for  Hezbullah.  If they're involved this is the first suicide bomb they've been involved in since the BA Embassy attack 20 years ago.  That could mean something more, though I'm not sure what.
Let's bomb Russia!

It was my understanding that Finland didn't either.

At any rate, so this guy had a fake Michigan ID.  Has anyone accounted for Rich Rodriquez's whereabouts?  We all know that he wasn't a real Michigan man.

Finland didn't send its own Jewish population to camps, but it did give Jewish refugees and POWs to Germany.

I wonder what Japan and Manchuria did.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

He was released july 2004. But the Pakistanis had him as recently as 2009.
