'An attack against humanity as a whole,' Argentinian AMIA bombing remembered on 32nd anniversary
Argentina’s Jewish community and government renewed calls for accountability as 10,000 people once gathered to honor the 85 killed in the 1994 attack.
- On Thursday, Argentina Ambassador Shimon Axel Wahnish commemorated the 32nd anniversary of the AMIA bombing at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, describing the 1994 tragedy as an attack "against humanity as a whole."
- Iranian-Backed Hezbollah terrorists drove an explosive-laden truck into the AMIA center on July 18, 1994, killing 85 people and injuring more than 300 in the deadliest terror attack on Argentinian soil.
- Argentine judiciary officials determined Iran and Hezbollah were responsible for both the AMIA bombing and the 1992 Israeli Embassy attack that killed 29 people, though nobody has been charged.
- Argentinian President Javier Milei designated the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization this year and received the Genesis Prize, donating the $1 million award to strengthen ties with Israel.
- Remembering the attack inspires action against global antisemitism, ensuring victims are "more than just a number," as Roxana Levinson noted; this ongoing commitment reinforces solidarity against those seeking to erode cultural bases.
