It is always refreshing, therefore, in such clouded times to recount some of the glaring chapters in the biography of Israeli terrorism. Here are but a few.
On 22 July 1946, under direct orders from the Haganah general command, former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin's Irgun Gang detonated 350 kg of explosives in the basement of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing about 90 British, Arab and Jewish innocent civilians, and completely destroying half the building (on the pretext that the hotel housed the British military command). On 4 January 1948, members of the Irgun, again under direct orders from the Haganah, blew up a truck loaded with explosives in the main market square of the Palestinian city of Jaffa, murdering and maiming scores of Palestinian men, women and children. Many of us have also seen the "Wanted Terrorist" mug-shot poster issued by the British government in mandated Palestine, depicting the picture of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir whose Stern Gang assassinated the Swedish UN Peacekeeper, Count Bernadotte, on 17 September 1948 in reaction to a proposition he made to give control of Jerusalem to the Arabs.
Today we all know that the subsequent murderous collaboration of the Irgun and the Stern gangs was not limited only to Deir Yassin. By the admission of many venerable Israeli historians, the carefully coordinated massacres by these armed militias extended to tens of other Palestinian towns and villages, massacres in which Begin, Shamir and other prominent Israelis personally participated. These documented acts of genocide against unarmed innocent Palestinians were carried out not by suicide bombers but by mainstream Israeli politicians, some of whom are today members of the Israeli government and Kenesset, none of whom ever accepted to apologise for the killings which they do not deny they committed to further the Zionist cause. Their calculated objective at that time was to terrorise the remaining Palestinian inhabitants into fleeing Palestine so that the Zionists can have an ethnically cleansed "promised land" for its "chosen people" - which they achieved with notable success
