- “Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition
can disqualify terrorism as a means of
combat.”
- (Yitzhak Shamir, Journal of the LEHI, the Stern
Gang, Summer, 1943)
The fact which is even further disgusting and disturbing
than the above quote by former Jewish
terrorist leader Yitzhak Shamir is the fact that individuals
such as Shamir, Begin and Sharon are celebrated as “war
heroes,” and are voted into high offices of political power in
their land, supported by the US. Bush
refuses to meet Arafat, because the Jewish Lobby has persuaded him that
Arafat is a terrorist, but has met with Sharon twice since elected Prime
Minister last march. Our Presidents and politicians
have no recollection of terrorism’s or are simply kept quiet with
hush money from the Jewish Lobby, which is
money stained in blood. A former article
highlighted some Jewish acts of terror through hours of research,
however, the article was already very long and I still had many
more atrocities which would not fit, not
counting the acts which may have not documented or
the events buried by the Israeli spin machine forever.
Today, Israel speaks of how all Palestinians
are terrorists and are not interested in peace, as
if Israel’s “heroes” did not use terrorism before Israel was a
state, or even after. Just because
Israel uses a powerful army to do it’s dirty work
does not mean Israel does not practice terrorism. In fact,
before and even after Israel’s independence,
Jewish terrorist gangs killed thousands of
CIVILIANS in the 30's and 40's, which is not only terrorism but ethnic
cleansing.
Zionists did not even consider diplomacy in getting what
they wanted, all of
Palestine to Jews and Jews only. There were three bands of Zionist
killers, the Haganah, the Irgun, and the Stern Gang headed by
such individuals as Yitzhak Shamir, Menachem
Begin and David Ben-Gurion, and even Yitzhak
Rabin, all of whom are considered great heroes and were at one time
elected as Prime Ministers. These very militant groups escalated
terrorism by targeting civilians in a form of low-scale genocide, hoping
to scare them away from their homes so that
Jews may take them over. These gangs were
the first to use car bombs, letter bombs, parcel bombs, suitcase
bombs, grenades inside cafes, timed mines in
marketplaces, assassinations, hostage takings,
torture, execution, and the beatings and murder of hostages as reprisals
for government actions, not to mention killing thousands of their
own fellow Jews to “protest” against the
British immigration laws, which to this day
still makes absolutely no sense.
Even after the independence of Israel, some of these
gang members dressed as Arabs
and entered refugee camps unloading their automatic weapons into however
many civilians before running away. Terrorists such as Shlomo
Ben Yosif, hanged by the British for crimes against Arabs, were
given military burials and buried in the
Jerusalem Hall of Heroism on Mt. Herzl. Secret Jewish organizations
would find out as much information as possible and
use it against British and Arab authorities. Civilians were
sometimes killed while praying and rounded up
in mosques, then machine gunned down. Arabs did retaliate against
terror, but with far less cruelty and effort,
which is well documented. These gangs openly conducted ethnic
cleansing, designed to rid Arabs and make way
for future Jews.
In July of 1938, the notorious Irgun killed 79
Palestinian civilians in terror attacks. When Arabs celebrated the
British decision to limit Jewish immigration,
which both the British and the Arabs had a right to do, the
Irgun murdered 27 Palestinians at a rally, which has been spoken
of and celebrated in a disgusting yet glorifying manner. When the
British arrested several Irgun members, 52
Palestinian civilians were murdered in cold
blood simply to show the British how lethal and disgusting they were.
In the Tantura massacre, over 200 civilians
were systematically executed by a cemetery wall. In fact, the war
of Independence was actually the war of ethnic
Arab cleansing, and those who deny it are either brainwashed by
our
“liberal” media or Israeli. For those who deny it, this is one of
the best sources
that has been found to this day, complete with refernces.
Although many
believe the Haganah was a tamer version of Irgun and Stern, the
Haganah did not fail to commit disgusting acts
of terrorism themselves.
Haganah took part in killing 176 Palestinians in crowded
market places and cafes from December 1947 to
February 1948 making it justifiable for the Arabs retaliating after
Israel’s “independence.” Fifteen of those
murdered were civilians who rode the bus. The Palmach, the
secret killing squad of the Haganah led in
part by Yitzhak Rabin, massacred 60 Palestinian
villagers in Balad Al-Sheikh. The Haganah also approved the
massacre of Deir Yassin, which was reportedly
done for “security reasons,” although many will
state that Deir Yassin had a peaceful reputation. Deir
Yassin should not be forgotten for the real reason over 100
civilians were murdered was because the
Haganah thought that Deir Yassin was a strategic village on high
ground between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Ben-Gurion, which
recently stated that Israel should return the West Bank and Gaza,
ordered the destruction of the King David
Hotel from exile in Europe, killing many Britons, Jews and
Arabs. These
strikes were seldom committed in retaliation for Arab attacks, but were
designed to rid Palestine of Arabs, hence ethnic cleansing. Today,
these strikes are called “glorious” and the perpetrators are
considered heroes by the Israeli right. No
other nation on earth has a better documented
history of genocide than Israel, other than Nazi Germany. The
difference between Israel and Germany is that
in Germany, Neo-Nazis are frowned upon and the
government has cracked down on them, in Israel the leaders of these
terrorist gangs are the leaders of the country, something that should
appaul every Israeli, but does not. The world’s recent
obsession for the trial of war criminals
should focus on Israel and their century long campaign of organized
ethnic cleansing.
In only two days in April 1948, Irgun and Stern went on
a killing spree destroying the lives of
250 Palestinian villagers, which were mostly tortured and mutilated
before and after their deaths. Begin glorified
these massacres and stated that “Out of evil, however, good came...The
legend was worth half a dozen battalions to
the forces of Israel.” Begin is seen as
a national hero and was elected Prime Minister. The American
equivalent of this
would be to elect Andrew Jackson, responsible for the Trail of
Tears, today in the year 2001. There were many other
atrocities were villages were attacked and
entire families were killed. There were also many
kidnaping and bombings, many times against the very young.
On July 12, 1948 the Palmach went house to house and killed, raped and
tortured 250 Arab men, women, children and
babies in Lydda. Girls were raped and babies were
shot with automatic assault rifles, all under the approval of the
Haganah. In the village of Sa’’sa, 20 houses were dynamited while 60
Arabs were asleep inside, an operation that
probably put a smile on Sharon’s face. The
holy city of Jerusalem was also not prone to sick and vile
attacks by barbaric Jewish murderers.
In the battle for the Kattamon Quarter of Jerusalem,
servant Arab women working in the St. Simon Monastery were killed in
cold blood and for no apparent reason,
other than they were Arab. The Semiramis Hotel was
blown up killing an unknown number of innocent civilians and
wounding many more, an operation headed by Ben
Gurion and Haganah. Tanks and other high
tech weapons were used against Arabs after the declaration of Israel,
killing thousands and scaring millions away,
turning the Jewish lie that Palestinians were told to flee by Arabs into
a despicable injustice the world should acknowledge.
Twenty tanks surrounded the village of ED-Dawayma late October
committing mass murder against unarmed civilians, simply because
they were not Jewish. Hundreds were killed on
the spot while civilians fled as fast as they
could. Seventy-five elderly men and women took refuge in a mosque and
were later found and murdered in cold blood.
Over one hundred took refuge in a cave and
were also gunned down, mostly women and children because the men
stayed back to try and hold the tanks off. In October
29, 1956, the Israeli butchered 52 innocent villagers in Kafr
Qasim, near the Jewish settlement of Betah
Tekfa. The massacre of Qibya, which should by now be infamous,
was carried out by Sharon’s Unit 101, on Wednesday, October 14,
1953, which is not denied by Sharon and should
also be a reason to try Sharon for war crimes. Sharon stated that
intelligence stated the houses were empty, yet
the UN found bullet holes in the doors suggesting that the inhabitants
were kept inside while timed bombs were detonated from afar.
Througout the years, Palestinians would see home demolitions and
massacres all through out territory that was
not even inside the newly established Israel. The
end of March 1954, was a witness to a massive army attack on the
village of Nahalin near Bethlehem, where
dozens of civilians were killed and many homes demolished. Israel
also tried to blame others for their killings, which
is one of the most disgusting things a self-proclaimed
“civilized” country can do.
In 1954, an Israeli spy ring in Egypt planted bombs in
British and American cultural
and information centers, attempting to place blame on the
Egyptian regime, dubbled the Lavon Affair. Israel also invaded
international boundaries, which is against international law, when in
February of 1955, the Israeli army killed 39
civilians, mostly children, in Gaza. Even civilians who were already
faced with the injustice of having to leave
their homes and bank accounts behind were killed when Israel invaded the
Sinai and Gaza on October 29, 1956.
Israeli soldiers raped, tortured, mutilated
and literally mowed down hundreds of civilians against the walls in the
Khan Yunis refugee camp. Ethnic cleansing and mass execution,
Israeli style.
An unbelievable act of disrespect for countries that
have even supported Israel, Moshe Dayan
personally ordered the USS Liberty destroyed once he
found out our ability to spy on Israel’s atrocities in the 1967
war.
There have been books written by survivors stating how
napalm was used in the attack to try and maximize casualties in an
attack that lasted far longer than the normal
hit and run attack which usually takes place on the high
seas. Once the US found out that Israel was behind the
attack, the US made the unbelievable and
stupid attempt of covering it up. Jets which were called to save the
Liberty were called back allowing 34 Navy soldiers to
die and 171 to be wounded by Israeli torpedoes, napalm and bombs.
Dayan was considered a hero in Israel and the
US4media never reported the atrocity,
making the soldiers feel as if their own
mother literally stabbed them in the back and
told them not to tell anybody. There have been many other
mass killings in Israel that most of the world does not know
about.
In an act of complete cowardice, Israel bombers attacked
a refugee camp in Beirut on July 1981, killing
300 civilians and putting a smile on most Jewish faces. Of course,
we all should by now know about Sabra and
Shatila but what some do not know is that, Sharon met with the Phalange
leadership a day before the massacre. What could they have
possible discussed in that meeting?
Another fact is that most of the bodies were buried with
Israeli bulldozers and that a body count conducted by the Red
Cross, which refuses to help Israel in any
way, came up with over 2,750 mostly women and children, none of which
were armed. A who’s who of Israeli war
criminals were responsible for the massacre including, Ariel
Sharon, of Qibya fame, foreign Minister
Yitzhak Shamir, responsible for the Deir Yassin
massacre and assassination of UN mediator Count Folke Bernadotte,
Prime Minister Menachem Begin, guilty of countless atrocities including
the bombing of the King David Hotel, and Deir
Yassin. Lebanon has probably felt the
greatest wrath and cruelty of Israel.An estimated 20 to 30 thousand
Lebanese were killed in the 1982 invasion that
lasted almost a generation. The only group helping the Lebanese
were Hizzbollah, which Israel called terrorists although they
only targeted Israel’s military. Hundreds of atrocities were
committed in Lebanon, including the bombing of school buses, one
incident killed 10 children and wounded dozens
more, the bombing of lone Arab houses on land too close
to Israel, which killed a mother and all of her six children, the
bombing and shelling of villages, which killed
thousands of civilians, and the rounding up of
Arabs in Mosques where they were executed once again, Israeli
style. Israeli Apaches killed dozens of children in ambulances
already injured from shelling, which to this
day I have not been able to answer the question:
why would Israel deliberately destroy and ambulance? There
has also been recent terrorist
attacks against Palestinians, showing us that Israel is no different
today than it was during the 30's, 40's and 50's.
On October 8, 1990 the Israeli police killed 21
Palestinian worshipers and injured 150 on the
grounds of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, none of which
faced severe punishment for their crimes. What would happen
to our police force in the US if 21 worshipers
were killed in their place of worship?
On February 25, 1994, a sick excuse for a human being
named Baruch Goldstein murdered almost 30
worshipers in Al Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron, before
being beaten to death by the worshipers. Goldstein has been
praised and is proclaimed a hero throughout the more extreme sides of
Israel, especially by the Kach terrorist
group. April 18, 1996 witnessed another day of
Israeli disrespect for the rest of the world. Israeli
shells successfully hit a U.N. compound in
Qana, Lebanon, killing over a hundred and wounding
dozens of civilians who fled to the compound after their homes
were shelled by the same forces. Three
year old kids were among the dead, most of which
were barely recognizable. The disgusting part is that
Israel hates the UN because they think the UN is biased. What a
pile of dung! Most settlers are actually
terrorists, brandishing assault rifles and shooting at
olive picking kids. In a recent incident, which actually
went to court, a settler chased a group of
Palestinian schoolchildren firing at them while
laughing, killing one. The Jewish
court stated that the settler “did nothing wrong" and "acted in
sheer self-defense", calling the pathetic excuse for a human being “an
exemplary citizen." The continued torture, beatings,
assassinations, firing onto protesting civilians, house demolitions, and
targeting of civilian populations are all war crimes. The
fact is, that as recent as yesterday, Israel
has surely committed another war crime.
All of these Israeli crimes are illegal under
international law, but Israel
still does not care much for international law and gets away with
genocide.
Many human rights organizations condemn Israel more than any other
country
in the world. From 1987 through the end of 1991 during the
first
Intifadah, the Palestinian Human Rights Information Center of Jerusalem
and
Chicago reported that 994 Palestinian were killed by Israeli troops and
119,300 injured. Almost 500 were deported, another war crime which
Milosevic is guilty of, and 16,000 Arabs were unfairly placed in
detention
centers, where they were beaten, tortured, and starved, sometimes dying
in
custody. An estimate of 94,830 acres of land was confiscated and
2,074
homes were demolished while the army uprooted 120,000 olive trees to
punish
the Palestinians. Violent rioters in the US get water and tear gas
while
peaceful protestors in Palestine get broken arms and bullet holes. Why
are
Arabs the only ones called terrorists? Is there a crime that is
worse than
terrorism? Yes, the answer is ethnic cleansing, something Israel
has been
guilty of before there was even an Israel.
