On Feb. 20, bombs detonated in several buses in Tel Aviv, and two additional ones were reportedly found and defused. The event was used by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as justification for increasing Israel’s military onslaught against Palestinians living in the West Bank.
But circumstances surrounding the bombs raise the possibility that it was not just Netanyahu’s good fortune, but rather a setup.
Robert Inlakesh summarizes the facts in an article posted on The Cradle:
The first two bombs detonated in buses that were in a parking lot, located away from each other and any other vehicles in the lot. When the bombs exploded, there was no damage except to those two buses. There were additional bombs. One supposed bomb on a bus in another area was accompanied by a note, written in Arabic, saying “Revenge for Tulkarem,” referring to the Palestinian refugee camp that has been a recent victim of Israeli military action. More than three-quarters of the camp’s residents have been forced to flee. Were the supposed bomb and its message intended to be found, rather than detonated?
