Would Iran receive more international condemnation for detonating an atomic bomb in Tel Aviv or for using the same bomb to conduct an above-ground nuclear test?

Do you really have to ask?

Hey this is, like, waving a red cape in front of a bull, Meryl. :)
I think it would get far more condemnation for doing it to Tel Aviv. The press would be shocked and saddened, there would be cheering in the streets in certain parts of the would, various European Leaders would then be saying ‘Today we are all Jews’ (or something to that effect), and very many other verbal occurences but on a much larger scale than what happened on 9-11.
All that hand wringing and saying how could this happen and what signs we should have seen yadda yadda… when you and I both know it is a load of crap. They’re soooo sorry … but then under their breath they have all sorts of reasons for this happening (Palestinian land taken, West Bank & Gaza occupied, The Jews control the world, blah blah blah…)
And still, the bottom line is… many many Jews died for nothing and nobody did anything to stop it… again.

It’s pretty depressing that you even have to ask that question.
I would like to think that they would receive more condemnation for killing people, but I just can’t be sure.

They would receive a lot of phony condemnation for bombing Tel Aviv, but the Israelis would receive a lot more for “retaliating” and not showing “restraint”. They would however, receive a lot more actual condemnation from the phony environmentalists for “destroying part of the environment” and from the PETA crowd for killing whatever animals happened to be in the test site. Remember when PETA condemned Arafat for blowing up a donkey with a suicide bomb? They did not care at all about the people who were killed and injured.
