As the 30th anniversary of the horrific AMIA bombing in Argentina approaches, this year's remembrance carries even greater weight.

The AMIA Jewish community center in this city has unveiled a colorful new facade, three decades after a deadly bombing turned it into a symbol of destruction.

The AMIA suicide bombing occurred on 18 July 1994 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and targeted the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, a Jewish Community Center.

Independent researchers concluded that the submarine was very likely of Nazi origin, and researchers from the Italian Naval League supported this finding.

Argentina’s recently elected president, Javier Milei has been very vocal in his condemnation of Hamas and his support for Israel in the current war.

We must not forget the tragedy that struck Buenos Aires on July 18, 1994, when a suicide bomber targeted the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA), claiming 85 innocent lives.

Police in Argentina are investigating the emails to determine their origin and find the individual or individuals responsible for Wednesday’s threats.
