Podcast: Avi Weiss Talks about the AMIA Bombing Cover-Up

This Week’s Guest: Avi Weiss

On July 18, 1994, a car-bomb struck the headquarters of AMIA—the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association, the largest Jewish community center and social-service agency in Buenos Aires—killing 85 people and wounding 300 more. It was the worst single attack on Diaspora Jews since the Holocaust.

A quarter-century later, the perpetrators of this terror attack have still not been brought to justice. And in this month’s Mosaic essay, Rabbi Avi Weiss, the well-known Jewish activist, tells the story of the shameful cover-up of the AMIA bombing and his involvement in trying to unwind it.
