This is slightly too big for the sidebar, but in the aftermath of the plane crash in Phuket. Two nations, aside from Thailand, which suffered the highest number of causalities are Iran and Israeli. With 8-9 Israelis missing, Israel is sending forensic experts to Phuket, but it is an the Iranian connection which I find interesting as the Jerusalem Post reports:
The forensic team agreed to come to the aid of Iran's ambassador to Bangkok who requested help from the experts in identifying the bodies of 18 Iranian missing nationals.
Amir Bar-Shalom, and Israeli Broadcasting Authority representative, asked the Iranian consulate whether he saw the Iranian request as problematic. The ambassador replied that "during a humanitarian crisis, there is no room for politics."
COMMENT: Interesting that the Iranians would make such a request.
*Given all the Israelis killed, will we get a "the Jews did it" conspiracy theories?
