#Tehran apologist Trita Parsi claims Israeli gov essentially wanted its citizens murdered in Bulgaria #jcot

RRD:When last I checked the Israeli government was not stealing elections and slaughtering their own civilians in the street.And in order for a attack to be "tit for tat" would it not have to target Israeli nuclear scientists(or soldiers or officials etc)

”The day before the White House meeting, NIAC’s president, Trita Parsi, who does not hold American citizenship, published an article in the Daily Beast alleging that Israeli leaders viewed the murder of their civilians in the Bulgaria bombing with satisfaction. ”US officials have privately expressed concern that one of the purposes of Israeli attacks in Iran has been to generate an Iranian response that could serve as a casus belli for Israel,” Parsi wrote. “That way, Israel could target Iran’s nuclear facilities without paying the heavy political cost of starting a preventive war.”

While Parsi speculated that the murder of tourists marked the achievement of an Israeli policy goal, a ”senior American official” quoted in the New York Times said the attack “was tit for tat”—retaliation for Israel’s alleged assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

Commentators took issue with the official’s characterization of a terror attack on tourists and the assassination of scientists working on an illicit nuclear program as equivalents.”
