Rabbi
Moshe Schonfeld in his book `Genocide in the Holy Land' describes
the Zionist terrorist attacks against Orthodox Jews and states:
"Terrorism has been the capstone of Zionism. One need only
remember the tactics of the Irgun in the 1940's, of which Israel's current
Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, was a member.
Countless terrorist acts, such as those used in 1950-1951 in
Baghdad, Iraq, have been attributed to the Zionists - Terrorist acts
not only against those opposed to Zionists, but also against their
fellow Jews to persuade them to immigrate to Israel. All of these
tactics, which most people would agree are despicable, were used.
But the worst is the Zionist's denial of the freedom of religious
education and religious expression to their fellow Jews."
The
terrorists having committed the massacres described below as part of
organised terror organisations like Hagana, Irgun and Stern Gang are
today respected politicians courted by world leaders. Below is a
long list of state sponsored terrorism up to the time of the first
Intifada:
July
2, 1946: The King David Hotel in Jerusalem was bombed, killing 91
people. Menachem Begin, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize for
peace, is the same man who planned the destruction of the King David
Hotel and the massacre of Deir Yassin. Ex prime minister, Shamir,
was originally a member of the Jewish terrorist gang called Irgun,
which was headed by none other than Menachem Begin. Shamir later
moved over to the even more radical "Stern Gang," which
committed many vicious atrocities.
Shamir
himself has defended the various assassinations committed by the
Irgun and Stern gangs on the grounds that "it was the only way
we could operate, because we were so small. So it was more efficient
and more moral to go for selected targets."
April
9, 1948: A combined force of Irgun and Stern Gangs committed a
brutal massacre of 260 Arab residents of the village of Deir Yassin,
most of whom were women and children. The Israeli hordes even
attacked the dead to satisfy their bestial tendencies. In April,
1954, during Holy Week, and on the eve of Easter, The Christian
cemeteries in Haifa were invaded, crosses broken down and trampled
under the feet of these miscreants, and the tombs desecrated. The
Israeli military conquest, therefore was made against a defenseless
people, who had been softened up by such earlier massacres as Deir
Yasin (where 250 Arabs; men, women and children were massacred).
The
Jew Weizman referred to the massacre as this "miraculous
simplification of our task," and Ben Gurion said that
"without Deir Yasin there would be no Israel." Americans
are not told that ten percent of the Arabs killed by the Israelis in
1948 were Christian, and that ten percent of the Arab property
confiscated belonged to Christians. Nor are they told that Israel's
massacres and military actions forced 100,000 Christians to become
refugees.
Accounts
by Red Cross and United Nations observers who visited the scene said
that the houses were first set on fire and the occupants were shot
down as they came out to escape the flames. One pregnant woman had
her baby cut out of her stomach with a knife. Reminiscent of the
acts committed by their brother Jews in Russia during and after the
Bolshevik (Jewish) takeover. The head of the International Red Cross
delegation in Palestine, Jacques de Reynier, drove into the village
and was met by a detachment of Irgun terrorists. In his report of
the massacre the previous night, he wrote: "All of them were
young, some even adolescents, men and women armed to the teeth:
revolvers, machine-guns, hand-grenades, and knives, most of them
still blood-stained. A beautiful young girl with criminal eyes
showed me hers (knife) still dripping with blood, she displayed it
like a trophy."
May
1948: The U.S. appointed Count Folke Bernadotte
of Sweden to mediate between the Arabs and the Israelis. In his
first progress report (of Sept. 16, 1948) he recommended that the
U.N. should affirm "the right of the Arab refugees to return to
their homes in Jewish controlled territory at the earliest possible
date." The Israelis responded in their own quiet way. The
following day Bernadotte was murdered in Jerusalem.
Responsibility
for the spectacular assassination, which caused an international
outcry, was claimed by an unknown group, "Fatherland
Front," which was actually a cover for Shamir's Stern Gang.
Yoshua Zeitler and Meshlam Markover of Stern told Israeli television
in 1989 that they respectively directed and led the operation that
killed the Swedish diplomat and his French aide-de-camp. Zeitler,
71, said he decided to speak now because of fear that the U.N. and
the "goyim" (non-Jews) are again trying to force Israel
into concessions.
February
1949: Israel launched an offensive across the Armistice lines with
Egypt which brought its forces to the Gulf of Aqaba, occupying the
Palestinian police post of Umm Rashrash which they afterwards named
Eilat.
1950:
Israelis seized the Al-Uja de-militarized zone on the Egyptian side
and Baqqara on the Syrian side, expelling their Arab inhabitants and
razed their homes to the ground by bulldozers.
1950-1955:
Israeli forces unleashed more than 40 acts of armed aggressions
against Arab states, almost all causing a heavy1953, Nahalin, Kfar
Qassem in 1954, Gaza and a Syrian outpost on Lake Tiberias in 1955.
October
14-15, 1953 - Under the command of Ariel Sharon, Israeli squads
attacked the unarmed Arab village of Qibya in the demilitarized one,
where they blew up 42 houses and killed more than 60 residents who
were trapped inside. The details were so gruesome that the U.S.
joined in a U.N. condemnation of the Israeli action, and for the
first and only time, suspended aid to Israel in reprisal.
July
1954: Israeli intelligence planted "a ring of spies
(moles)" in Cairo. Its task was to begin sabotage operations
against selected Egyptian, British and American targets. On July 14,
the Alexandria post office was fire-bombed, and the U.S. Information
Agency offices in Cairo and Alexandria were damaged by fire started
by phosphorous incendiary devices, as was a British-owned theater.
Members
of the spy ring were caught, and they confessed. They had been
planted by Modin, the Israeli military intelligence organization.
The purpose, presumably, was to sabotage Egyptian relations with the
U.S. and Britain. Various commissions of inquiry into the affair
conducted in Israel were never able to decide whether or not Israeli
Defense Minister Pinchos Lavon authorized the operation.
1956:
Squads of Israeli soldiers committed a hideous atrocity in the
Palestinian village of Kafr Qasim, 47 innocent people were shot down
in cold blood. The careful and premeditated mass murders, never
received great attention in the West. Although the Israeli courts
convicted eight soldiers of murder, they were all released within
two years of their trial, and within three years one of them who had
been convicted of killing 43 Arabs in an hour, was engaged by the
municipality of Ramleh as the "officer responsible for Arab
affairs in the city." In October 1956 Israel, backed by England
and France, attacked Egypt to gain control of the Suez Canal.
Taking
advantage of the situation created by Egypt's decision of
nationalization of the Suez Canal, Israel joined forces with Britain
and France to invade Egypt. As a result, it occupied the Sinai
Peninsula, seized the Gaza Strip, and Sharm Al sheikh which guarded
the Strait of Tiran and the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba. A year
letter it withdrew reluctantly under the combined pressure of the
U.N., U.S.A. and the Soviet Union.
There
was no military necessity for this destruction; it was sheer
vengeance against Arab Christians. This action created another
300,000 Arab refugees. It was during this campaign that the
Israeli's attacked the U.S.S. Liberty with the death of 34 of its
number. If this had been an Egyptian or a Russian attack, American
would have been at war, but the Jewish vote of America silenced any
American criticisms of this action. Americans are also not told that
Israel has always refused to obey any mandate of the United Nations.
Resolutions affirmed by vote every year since 1948 recognize the
right of the return of Palestinian refugees, but Israel always
refuses to obey. Israel has been condemned over and over again for
breaking the charter and now fulfilling the conditions upon which
she was allowed to become a member!
1960-1962:
Israeli forces attacked Syrian villages on Lade Tiberias and brought
death to hundreds of Arab civilians.
1966:
Squads of Israeli soldiers raided the Jordanian village of Sammu,
they killed 18 civilians, wounded 100 others and demolished 130
houses including a school, a clinic and a mosque.
1967:
THE U.S.S. Liberty was deliberately attacked in international waters
as it monitored communications during the Six‑Day War. Israel
used U.S.‑donated equipment to jam the ship's S.O.S., hoping
to sink it and murder all aboard before word could get out. 34
sailors were butchered and 170 wounded in this blatant Act of War.
The Liberty was part of the Sixth Fleet, a powerful group of men and
ships paid for by U.S. Taxpayers to protect the Israeli's.
June
5, 1967: Israeli committed its biggest, most treacherous and
premeditated aggression against Egypt, Syria and Jordan. After
destroying Arab aircraft on the ground in a lightening attack,
Israeli forces invaded and occupied the rest of Palestine, that is,
the West Bank, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, the Syrian Golan Heights
and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula. In the first days of its
aggression and in plain disregard of the truth, Israel fabricated a
charge of aggression against its victims and presented it in a
dramatic manner to the U.N. Security Council. Western media spread
this fabricated story and the whole world sympathized with the
supposed victim. In 1967 the Israeli's made a third ruthless
blitzkrieg attack upon the Arabs. This time they deliberately
destroyed three quarters of a million dollar's worth of church
property. The great deception practiced by Israel on the U.N. and
the whole world is now completely discredited, the Israelis,
therefore, changed their tactics and rely nowadays on the argument
that, they were NOT attacked by Egypt, they were in danger of BEING
attacked, and hence they resorted to a so-called pre-emptive strike.
Alan Hart quotes a former Israeli Director of military intelligence
as telling him "if Nasser had not given Israel the excuse to
attack the Arabs, Israel would have invented a pretext for war
within six or ten months" because its military planners had
decided that the time had come to knock out vast amounts of mainly
Soviet-supplied Arab armor. Yitzhak Rabin, who as chief of staff
planned this attack told Le Monde in February 1968, quite simply:
"We knew that Nasser did not intend to attack."
February
15, 1968: Israel invaded PLO bases in Karamah, on the eastern bank
of the River Jordan with helicopter-borne troops and tanks. Three
hundred commandos fought off 1,500 Israeli soldiers and forced them
to retreat. The battle lasted all day and into the evening. Although
the village was totally destroyed, the Palestinian defenders
repelled the Israelis and inflicted heavy casualties among the
invaders. By the Israeli account, they lost 28 soldiers and 90 were
wounded.
1969:
The Israelis distinguished themselves by committing a horrible
crime, in retaliation of attrition war across the Suez Canal,
Israeli war planes raided an Egyptian school "Bahr al
Baker" in southern Egypt killing 75 children and wounding over
100.
August
1969: An Israeli set fire to one of the most sacred Islamic shrines,
A1 Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, causing extensive damage to it. This
crime plunged over one billion Muslims throughout the world into the
deepest anguish.
March
12, 1970: Israeli forces invaded part of South Lebanon known as
"Fatah-Land" killing a number of Palestinian and Lebanese
civilians.
September
8, 1972: Without any apparent cause or reason, Israeli Phantoms
bombed Palestinian targets in Lebanon and Syria in a series of raids
killing hundreds of civilians. This action was explained by the
Israeli prime minister the next day, who in the Knesset, that
"Israel had now adopted a new policy to strike at the terrorist
organizations where ever we can reach them."
February
21, 1973: Israel landed commando units on the coasts of the northern
Lebanese city of Tripoli. They attacked two Palestinian refugees
camps, dynamited several houses and buildings, some over the heads
of their occupants, killing 35 refugees and wounding a similar
number. On the same day, Israeli war planes shot down a Libyan
Civilian Aircraft over the Sinai Desert killing over 100 passengers.
April
10, 1973: Israeli commando units with the help of some Lebanese
collaborators stormed into a residential quarter in East Beirut and
killed three PLO leaders: Yusef Al Najjar, Kamal Adwan and Kamal
Nasser.
1974:
Israeli air-borne commando units attacked Beirut airport and
destroyed 13 Lebanese civilian aircraft on the ground. In the same
year, Israeli planes intercepted a civilian Syrian aircraft and
forced it to land at Lydda (Lod) airport on suspicion that it was
carrying a Palestinian commando leader. Christian shrines in
Jerusalem were subjected to several acts of aggression and robbery.
This included damaging the church of the Holy Sepulchre, burying
four other Christian centers, and stealing the diamond Crown of the
Virgin Mary.
1975-1980:
Israeli's intelligence service, the Mossad, distinguished itself by
feats of terrorist actions that killed a number of Arab and
Palestinian diplomats, scientists and journalists such as the PLO
representatives in London, Rome, Paris and Brussels, prominent
Palestinian journalist and writer Ghassan Kanafani and the Egyptian
nuclear scientist Dr. Al Mashad.
1981:
Putting their so-called pre-emptive policy in action, Israeli
warplanes raided and destroyed a peaceful Iraqi nuclear reactor near
Baghdad.
June
6,1982: The Israeli armed forces invaded Lebanon. Less than two
weeks after its election, the New Menachem Begin government
unleashed the first blow in its war to liquidate the PLO in Lebanon.
June
1982: Israeli forced launched their savage invasion of Lebanon. As a
result of this invasion a great number of refugee camps, Lebanese
towns and villages were destroyed. Israeli warplanes launched eight
raids on Palestinian targets in South Lebanon and Beirut, killing
nearly one thousand people and wounding many others. The fantasy of
the "pre-emptive strike policy" was dropped and even the
Jerusalem Post correspondent was at pains to explain the purpose of
the bombing raids. "The past few days of activities on the
northern border followed five weeks of quiet. It is not know what
triggered Israeli's Friday afternoon raid." Outraged by
Israel's onslaught and the cruel destruction of Beirut, Jewish
journalist Jacobo Timmerman called Begin "unbalanced" a
"terrorist" and "a disgrace to the people." He
accused Sharon of helping to make Israel "the Prussia of the
Middle East."
July
17, 1982: U.S. supplied F-4 and F-5 jets swooped low over Beirut in
4 passes, bombing the densely-populated Fakahani district. Five tall
apartment buildings were destroyed, 200 people were killed and 800
wounded. Forty percent of the victims were small children, and one
of the survivors was an unborn baby pulled by doctors from the dead
mother's womb. Israel's then Chief of staff Rafael Eitan announced
on Israeli Radio that civilian causalities were unimportant and that
the Arab casualties suffered as of the July 17 attack did not yet
constitute the Israeli "final
solution."
September
1982: Israeli raids and bombardments continued during the weeks
following the raid on Beirut in July. It was the beginning of the
invasion of Beirut; after which an 80 days war led by Ariel Sharon,
(then War Minister of Israel) resulted in the destruction of much of
Beirut, killing and wounding thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese
civilians. It was during this invasion that the massacre of the
Sabra and Shatila refugee camps was committed, where over 2,500
Palestinian women, children and elderly people were slaughtered in
cold blood. Even the Israeli high court held a number of the Israeli
military officers, including Sharon, responsible.
October
1982: Israeli terrorists bombed the houses, cars and offices of
three elected Palestinian mayors on the West Bank, Nablus, Ramallah
and A1 Beireh.
1984:
Israeli warships and gunboats intercepted merchant ships on the high
seas off the coast of Lebanon and kidnapped a1985: Israeli planes
raided and destroyed the PLO headquarters in Tunis.
1986:
Israeli secret agents assassinated a noted Palestinian cartoonist
Naji Al Ali, in London.
April
1988: Israeli commando units stormed into the house of Khalil A1
Wazir, in Tunis. Al Wazir who was the most senior PLO military
commander and believed to be in charge of the Intifada, was murdered
while sleeping.
