Did Clara Know? Spoilers


Did Clara know about the King David bombing in advance, or was she telling the truth that time?

reply

Of course she knew.

She was an extremist who was clearly involved with the terrorist unit who carried out the attack. She was a femme fatale who used Len for information. He was in love with her and initially did have some sympathy for her cause which was why he was targeted. She wrongly believed that she could turn him and he would join her cause.

However I do believe Clara did have feelings for Len and ultimately that was what kept him alive, but her cause was certainly more important than her personal feelings and if she would have needed to she would have had him killed.

@dean-griffiths At the time I wrote that I knew nothing about Israel's history and could not fathom that somebody would actually do that. Since then I have learned so much more about the terrorism that gave birth to Israel and now I am on the same page as you on this. Great reply.
