The Terror that begot Israel Khalid Amayreh The Voice of Palestine

As
the evil state of Israel is celebrating sixty years of ethnic cleansing and
atrocities against the native Palestinians, many people around the world,
especially young generations, will not be fully aware of the manner in which
Israel came into existence. Similarly, the younger Zionist generations who
don’t stop calling their Palestinian victims “terrorists” should have a
clearer idea about Israel’s manifestly criminal past which Zionist school
textbooks shamelessly glamorize and glorify. Prior
to “Jewish” statehood, three main Jewish terror organizations operated in
Palestine, primarily against Palestinian civilians and British mandate
targets. The three were: The Haganah, the Zvei Leumi or Irgun and the Stern
Gang. The Haganah (Defence) had a field army of up to 160,000 well-trained
and well-armed men and a unit called the Palmach, with more than 6,000
terrorists. The Irgun included as many as 5,000 terrorists, while the Stern
Gang included 200-300 dangerous terrorists. The
following are merely some examples of Zionist terrorism prior to the creation
of the Zionist state in 1948: The list doesn’t include the bigger massacres
such as Dir Yasin, Dawaymeh, Tantura and others. 1937-1939 During
this period, Zionist terrorists carried out a series of terror attacks
against Palestinian buses resulting in the death of 24 persons and the
wounding of 25 others. 1939 Haganah
blew up the Iraqi oil pipeline near Haifa/Palestine. Moshe Dayan was one of
the participants in this act. The technique was used in 1947 at least four
times. 1940 On
6 November, 1940 , Zionist terrorists of the Stern Gang assassinated the
British Minister resident in the Middle East , Lord Moyne, in Cairo . 1940 On
25 November, S.S. Patria was blown up by Jewish terrorists in Haifa harbour,
killing 268 illegal Jewish immigrants. The explosion, carried out by the
Haganah terrorist group, was only meant to prevent the ship from sailing.
However, it seemed that the terrorists had miscalculated the amount of
explosives needed to disable the vessel. Other sources reported that this was
no miscalculation and was a deliberate mass murder of Jews by Jews aimed at
drawing sympathy and influencing British immigration policy to Palestine . 1946 Zionist
terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the civilian
administration of the government of Palestine, killing and injuring more than
200 persons. The Irgun gang claimed responsibility for this criminal act, but
subsequent evidence indicated that both the Haganah and the Jewish Agency
were involved. 1946 On
1 October, the British Embassy in Rome was badly damaged by a bomb explosion
for which Irgun claimed responsibility. 1947 In
June 1947, a postal bomb addressed to the British war office exploded in the
post office sorting room in London, injuring 2 persons. It was attributed to
Irgun or Stern Gangs (The Sunday Times, Sept. 24, 1972), p. 8. 1947 In
December 1947, six Palestinians were killed and 30 wounded when bombs were
thrown from Jewish trucks at Arab houses in Haifa; 12 Palestinians were
killed and another injured in an attack by armed Zionists at an Arab coastal
village near Haifa. 1947 On
13 December 1947 , Zionist terrorists believed to be members of Irgun Zevi
Leumi murdered 18 Palestinian civilians and wounded 60 others in Jerusalem ,
Jaffa and Lud areas. In Jerusalem , bombs were thrown in an Arab market-place
near the Damascus Gate; in Jaffa bombs were thrown into an Arab café; and in
the Arab village near Lud, 12 Arabs were killed in an attack with mortars and
automatic weapons. 1947 On
9 December, Haganah terrorists attacked an Arab village near Safad, blowing
up two houses, in the ruins of which were found the bodies of 10 Arabs,
including 5 children. Haganah admitted responsibility for the attack. 1947 On
29 December, two British constables and 11 Palestinians were killed and 32
others were injured at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem when Irgun terrorists
threw a bomb from a taxi. 1948 On
1 January, Haganah terrorists attacked a village on the slope of Mount Carmel
, killing 17 Palestinian civilians and wounding 33 others. 1948 On
4 January, Haganah terrorists wearing British Army uniforms penetrated into
the centre of Jaffa and blew up the Sarai, which was used as headquarters of
the Arab National Committee, killing more than 40 persons and wounding 98
others. 1948 On
5 January, the Arab-owned Semiramis Hotel in Jerusalem was blown up, killing
20 civilians, among them Viscount De Tapia, the Spanish Consul. Haganah
admitted responsibility for this outrage. 1948 On
7 January , seventeen Arab civilians were killed by a bomb at the Jaffa Gate
in Jerusalem , 3 of them while trying to escape. Further casualties,
including the murder of a British officer near Hebron, were reported from
different parts of the country. 1948 On
16 January, Jewish terrorists blew up three Arab buildings, killing 8
children between the age of 18 months and 12 years. December
13, 1947- February 10, 1948 Seven
bombing attacks by Jewish terrorists took place and the targets were innocent
Arab civilians in cafés and markets, killing 138 and wounding 271 others.
During this period, there were 9 attacks on Arab buses. Moreover, Jewish
terrorists attacked passenger trains on at least four occasions, killing 93
persons and wounding 161 others. 1948 On
15 February , Haganah terrorists attacked an Arab village near Safad and blew
up several houses, killing 11 civilians, including four children. 1948 On
3 March, heavy damage was done to the Arab-owned Salam building in Haifa (a
seven-story block of flats and shops) by Jewish terrorists who drove an army
truck to the building and escaped before detonation of 400 pounds of
explosives, killing 11 Arab civilians and 3 Americans. The Stern Gang claimed
responsibility. 1948 On
22 March, Jewish terrorists from the Stern Gang blew up a housing block in
Iraq Street in Haifa , killing 17 and injuring 100 others. Four members of
the Stern Gang drove two truckloads of explosives into the street and
abandoned the vehicles before the explosives went off. 1948 On
31 March, Jewish terrorists mined the Cairo-Haifa Express, killing 40 people
and wounding 60 others. 1948 On
16 April, Jewish terrorists attacked the former British army camp at Tel
Litvvinsky, killing 90 Palestinians. 1948 On
19 April, fourteen Palestinian civilians were killed in a house in Tiberias,
which was blown up by Zionist terrorists. 1948 On
11 May, a letter bomb addressed to Evelyn Baker, former commanding officer in
Palestine , was detected in the nick of time by his wife. April
25, 1948- May 13, 1948 Wholesale
looting of Jaffa was carried out following armed attacks by Irgun and Haganah
terrorists. They plundered and carried away everything they could, destroying
what they could not take with them. 1948 On
17 September, Count Folke Berndadotte, UN Mediator in Palestine was
assassinated by members of the Stern Gang in the Zionist-controlled sector of
Jerusalem . Bernadotte’s aide Col. Serot was also killed and murdered by
Jewish terrorists. 1948 In
November, the Christian Arab villages of Igrit and Birim were attacked and
destroyed, killing and injuring many unarmed civilians, including women and
children. All the Christian Arab inhabitants were forcibly expelled from
their homes. The State of Israel still refuses to allow them to return to
their villages despite several court orders. 1948-1949 The greatest acts of Jewish terror took place when Jewish terrorists, now called Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), uprooted 700,000-800,000 Palestinians from their ancestral homeland in Palestine . Since then the refugees have consistently been denied the right to return home. After the expulsion, the Zionist terrorist army razed to the ground hundreds of Arab towns, villages and hamlets and obliterated their remains. Eventually, Israeli villages, Kibbutzim and towns were built on the remaining rubble.
