The English
dictionary defines terrorism as “the use of violence and threats to intimidate
or coerce.” Israel
was founded in 1948 on the same dragoon’s theory to replace Native Palestinians
with European Jewish immigrants.
This article
highlights two of the Zionists’ heinous crimes leading to the creation of Israel.
Following June
29 1946 British raid on the Jewish Agency’s offices and confiscation of
documents revealing links between Irgun, the Hagana and other terrorist organizations,
the United Resistance, an umbrella organization for Jewish groups, ordered the
bombing of King David hotel. The hotel was considered the nerve
center for the British military rule in Palestine.
On July 22,
Irgun terrorists disguised as Arabs entered the hotel through the basement
service center carrying bombs concealed in milk cans. 350 kg of explosives were
placed next to the central columns supporting the hotel’s section housing
British Military authorities. The bombs exploded about ½ hour past noon leaving
behind 91 dead, mostly British officials and Palestinians as well as several
Jews.
Although
David Ben-Gurion via his leadership position in the United [Jewish] Resistance
had initially directed the bombing, however following world-wide denunciation,
the conniving leader disowned the attack calling Irgun "the enemy of the
Jewish people."
In typical
euphuistic racist language, Irgun expressed remorse for the loss of Jewish life.
They refused to grieve British officials, alleging that Britain did not
mourn Jews who died in the Nazi Holocaust. There was no regret for the
Palestinian victims.
Another
notorious terrorist crime was the 1948 massacre in the village of Deir Yassin.
I remember being in a car when approaching the city of Jerusalem at night we
passed by a well-lit area of what seemed to be historic military site in a
park-like setting on the median strip. I learnt later, the monument was down
the hill from a razed Palestinian village.
In the
early morning of April 9 and while Palestinians were ostensibly under British mandate
protection, the Irgun led by the Polish Menachem Begin, and Stern Gang
terrorists supported by the Haganah launched a coordinated attack against Deir
Yassin.
For several
hours, Jewish terrorists rampaged through the village in an orgy of killing and looting.
25 Palestinian men were apprehended and paraded like a trophy in Jerusalem’s Jewish quarter before their cold blooded
execution at a stone quarry near Jerusalem. Red Cross representatives were not allowed to
enter the village for three days. According to UN reports and the New York
Times on April 13 1948, the final body count was 254; about half were women and
children.
As in the aftermath
of King David hotel’s carnage, the Haganah’s Machiavellian leadership distanced
itself from the massacre that “…dishonored… the Jewish flag.” Ironically, when
the same became leaders of Israel
in 1948, they erected a monument commemorating the assault, they condemned
earlier, and celebrating Zionism’s triumphant campaign to depopulate
Palestinian villages.
Years
later, Menachem Begin recalling with pride Deir Yassin’s massacre declared “…
[It] was not only justified, but there would not have been a state of Israel without
the victory at Deir Yassin.”
Begin, the Irgun
leader, who once topped British authorities’ “most wanted” terrorist list and
was vilified by Zionists for dishonoring the “Jewish flag” and “the enemy of
the Jewish people” was exalted years later to become a Prime Minister for the
same disingenuous Zionist state.
