Why did they need to do autopsies? Any fool could tell you they died from the bomb. And where was the Israeli government before the two autopsies were done? Why’d it take them so long to intervene?
Incidentally during WW2 – Bulgaria’s government saved 48000 Jews from being sent to concentration camps – even though Hitler ymash knew about this. Do some Google research – especially Wikipedia and you will learn some fascinating stuff. We do owe Bulgaria Hakora Hatov for that
