And They Call Us Terrorists..
(Part  Two)

by Amir Meshkin

“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.
