Not the Onion: Greek extremist group dedicates bombing to 'the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance'
ATHENS, Greece — A new extremist group claims responsibility for a bomb that exploded near the offices of Hellenic Train, Greece’s main railway services operator and the planting of another near the Labor Ministry in early February.
The explosion Friday evening resulted in limited damage and no injuries. The perpetrators had forewarned of the explosion by calling two media organizations about 40 minutes before it happened.
In a lengthy posting on the website Athens.indymedia.org on Sunday, the perpetrators, who style themselves the Revolutionary Class Struggle, explain the reasons for their action, which they say is part of an armed struggle against the state.
Revolutionary Class Struggle dedicates the bombings to “the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance” and pays tribute to Kyriakos Xymitiris, a man who was killed last year when the explosive device he was assembling exploded in a central Athens apartment.

I am struggling to imagine myself as a Palestinian who wakes up one day and learns from the news that some unknown thugs hundreds of miles away dedicated a train station bombing to me. Did they think I would be flattered?
What is it that attracts so many idiots all over the world to Palestine?
