ISRAEL ~ CREATED BY TERRORISM, NOURISHED BY BLOOD

The West forgets that Israel is founded on blood and terrorism.

THE TERRORIST STATE THAT IS ISRAEL THIS PIECE IS DEDICATED TO ALL WHO SAY HAMAS STARTED THE SITUATION BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO THIS LATEST HOLOCAUST FROM DECEMBER 28, 2008 ~ JANUARY 18, 2009. THIS IS TO ALL

WHO CLAIM HAMAS BROKE THE PEACE FIRE, AND ARE TERRORISTS FROM HADES. I DO NOT DEFEND HAMAS IN THE LEAST, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN DENIAL TO LEARN. PRETEND TO BE A PALESTINIAN FOR JUST A SHORT TIME AND IMAGINE YOUR REACTION TO THE THINGS I LIST BELOW GOING ON AND ON WITH NO HOPE FOR AN ENDING! WHEN I BEGAN THIS PIECE, I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE LIST WOULD BE SO LONG! AND IT IS QUITE INCOMPLETE! BUT IF ONE REALLY WANTS TO KNOW THE TRUTH START HERE AND THEN DO YOUR HOMEWORK. WHAT AMAZES ME IS HOW BRITAIN, AMERICA AND EGYPT HAVE FORGIVEN ISRAEL FOR CRIMES AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE, JUST A FEW OF WHICH ARE LISTED

HERE.

EARLY ISRAELI TERRORIST GROUPS Soon after the end of World War II, there were three basic para-military Zionist organizations in Palestine, working against the Arab people, with the specific purpose of driving it out of Palestine. These were the Haganah, the Irgun Zvai Leumi, and the Stern Gang. Gaza is full-scale war but just the latest bloodstained episode in Israel’s sixdecade reign of terror against Palestinians. Here you will learn about others since 1946, two years before the establishment of a Jewish state. The list is long, VERY incomplete, very disturbing, and shows what Palestinians and so many others in the Middle East have endured for well over 60 years. This extermination policy is much more openly pursued on the West Bank and Gaza, with the heavily controlled international media telling the story as Israel and complicit governments wish it to be told. Always, little Israel is defending itself from the powerful hateful Arabian people.

Very interestingly, these participants are proud of their past actions and insist they were not terrorists but merely working towards an honourable goal, the removal of all Arabs from Palestine for the creation of the state of Israel on stolen and confiscated land. To quote one of these men, "We did not mind being called terrorists back then because we used brutal force to get rid of them." Interesting that this nation, built on blood, terrorist nation and rogue, cries foul at small rockets fired by their victims and then uses this as an excuse to erase thousands of civilians because "Hamas" is involved.

Before the British Mandate, the Jewish settlers had formed a group of mounted armed watchmen called Hashomar and with the advent of the British Mandate, it became the Haganah (Defense). With a membership of 60,000 Zionist Jews, the Haganah had a field army of 16,000 trained men and a unit called the Palmach, which was a full-time force, numbering about 6000. The Irgun Zvai Leumi included between 3000 and 5000 armed terrorists, and grew out of the Haganah and its Palmach branch in 1933. The Irgun was not ready to obey the Jewish Agency which sought to dilute the terror of the Haganah in order not to lose its respectability.

In 1939, one of Irgun's commanding officers, Abraham Stern, left the parent organization and formed the Stern Gang, numbering some 200 to 300 dangerous fanatics. Future Prime Ministers of Israel began their careers in these gangs.

ZIONIST TERRORIST ACTIVITIES 1939 ~ 2007 1939 ~ Haganah blew up the Iraqi oil pipeline near Haifa. Moshe Dayan was one of the participants in the act. This technique was used again in 1947 at least 4 times. August 20, 1937 ~ June 29, 1939 During this period, Zionists carried out a series of attacks against Arab buses, resulting in the death of 24 persons and wounding 25 others.

1939

~

Jerusalem

Post

Office November 25, 1940 ~ S.S.Patria was blown up by Jewish terrorists in Haifa harbour, killing 268 illegal Jewish immigrants. The explosion was the work of the Jewish underground army, the Haganah, who had meant only to damage the ship to prevent it sailing but had miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to disable the ship. Many say that this was no miscalculation and was deliberate murder of Jews by Jews, in an attempt to influence British immigration policy to Palestine. February 24, 1942 ~ S.S. Struma exploded in the Black Sea, killing 769 illegal Jewish immigrants. Described by the Jewish Agency as an act of "mass-protest and mass-suicide."

the government of Palestine, killing or injuring more than 200 persons. The Menachem Begin-led Irgun planned and conducted the massacre of 92 Brits, Arabs and Jews, wounding 58 others. As head of the Jewish Agency, David Ben-Gurion approved the operation. It was to destroy British-gathered evidence that its leaders colluded with the Haganah, Palmach, Irgun and Stern gangs in a wave of terrorist crimes and killings. Bombing the King David Hotel was the most notorious and followed a pattern before and since of brutal Israeli state terrorism.

October 1, 1946 ~ The British Embassy in Rome was badly damaged by bomb explosions, for which Irgun claimed responsibility. June 1947 ~ Letters sent to British Cabinet Ministers were found to contain bombs.

September 3, 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)

By now, PLAN DALETH was in full swing. As expulsions and massacres gathered pace, the Zionist leaders discussed and finally adopted what was known as Plan Daleth which gave clear orders to commanders of the Haganah ~ the Zionists’ main military force ~ on how to deal with Palestinians: “These operations can be carried out either by destroying villages by setting fire to them, by blowing them up and by planting mines in their rubble, and especially those population centres which are difficult to control permanently; or by mounting combing and control operations according to the following guidelines; encirclement of the villages, conducting a search inside them. In case of resistance, the armed forces must be wiped out and the population expelled outside the borders of the state.” December 11, 1947 ~ Six Arabs were killed and 30 wounded when bombs were thrown from Jewish trucks at Arab buses in Haifa; 12 Arabs were killed and others injured in an attack by armed Zionists on an Arab coastal village near Haifa. In the city of Haifa, Zionist forces began rolling barrels of explosives into Palestinian neighbourhoods and poured burning oil into the streets. They then machine gunned residents who tried to put out the flames. December 13,1947 ~ Zionist terrorists, believed to be members of Irgun Zvai Leumi, killed 18 Arabs and wounded nearly 60 in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Lydda areas. In Jerusalem, bombs were thrown in an Arab market-place near the Damascus Gate; in Jaffa, bombs were thrown into an Arab cafe; in the Arab village of Al Abbasya, near Lydda, 12 Arabs were killed in an attack with mortars and automatic weapons.

After their expulsion, the Israeli Forces razed to the ground 385 Arab villages and towns out of a total of 475, and obliterated their remains. Eventually,

Israeli villages, Kibbutzim and towns were built on the remaining

rubble. Newly arrived Jewish women walk through the rubble of their new home.

Israel has never acknowledged the right of Palestinian refugees to return because it knows that such a return would spoil its project of maintaining a Jewish majority within its borders. These refugees do not pose a threat to Jewish communities within Israel, but rather to the Israeli state ideology which leaves no room for a non-Jewish identity within Israel. Israel’s goal has never been to be a democracy for its citizens, but rather a Jewish democracy.

US Navy Court of Inquiry finding 24: "From the time of first air attack onward, [the Israeli Air Force] attackers were well coordinated, accurate and determined. Criss-crossing rocket and machine gun [30mm rapid-firing cannon] runs from both bows, both beams, and quarters effectively chewed up entire topside including ship control and internal communications (sound powered) network.

Lebanon’s total economic damage was estimated at half a billion dollars. 1999 ~ Israeli warplanes bombed a group of children celebrating a Muslim festival in the Bekaa Valley killing 8. The year 2000 witnessed the video clips of the cold-blooded murder of 10-year old Mohamed el-Dura. 2000 ~ Israel unveiled her worst of crimes against the Palestinian people. Targeted killing of Palestinian activists and leaders became common, resulting in suicide attacks as reprisals by Palestinian resistance forces. October 12, 2001 ~ Two Mossad agents were arrested attempting to bomb the deliberation chamber of the Mexican National Congress in Mexico City.

Mahmoud Abu Hanoud, murdered because he fought for the twostate solution which Israel wishes to avoid at all costs. Removal of moderate leaders will drive Palestinians to the fanatics, giving Israel its extremist enemy.

November 23, 2001 ~ Mahmoud Abu Hanoud was assassinated when Israelis bombed the car in which he was traveling near Nablus. Upon Hanoud's death it was said, "While the Israelis say they've always gone after 'terrorist' targets, they have, in fact, also gone after those members of the Palestinian leadership who have two important attributes: One, they were interested in a two-state solution, and two, they were the kind of people who were strong enough to be the peace party in Palestinian leadership. Most of these guys have been killed. The Israeli strategy is to kill the moderate Palestinians as well as militants and send this thing careening towards an endgame where Israel has the extremist enemy it wants. Sharon is driving Palestinian society more and more to the right, to the fanatics, which is calculated to create the results he wants. In 1923, radical Zionist Ze'ev Jabotinsky-spiritual father of not only of Menachem Begin but of Meir Kahane-wrote that the "sole way" for Jews to deal with Arabs in Palestine

was through 'total avoidance of all attempts to arrive at a settlement' ~ which Jabotinsky euphemistically termed the "'ron wall' approach. Not coincidentally, a picture of Jabotinsky graces Sharon's desk" December 10, 2001 ~ Palestinian activist Muhammad Sidir, 24, was hit by a missile dropped in a crowded intersection. Two Palestinian children died in the attacks and two other children were injured. Israeli helicopter gunships hovered over the carnage for five minutes, preventing immediate medical attention from being administered to the wounded and dying. December 17, 2001 ~ Israeli troops murdered Palestinian activist Yaqoub Aidkadik.

January 14, 2002 ~ Israeli terrorists planted a bomb outside the Tulkarm home of Palestinian resistance leader Raed alKarmi, killing him. He is shown above with a bandaged wound incurred in an earlier Israeli attempt on his life.

The remains of the car bomb that killed Elie Hobeika.

January 24, 2002 ~ Elie Hobeika, a Lebanese national, was a key witness in the Sabra-Chatila war crimes case being pursued in a Belgian court against Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon. Hobeika was blown up outside his house in Beirut together with three bodyguards and a civilian bystander. The carbomb was the work of professional assassins in the employ of Mossad. The explosion occurred two days after Hobeika agreed to give evidence against Sharon. Marwan Hamadeh, the Lebanese minister for refugees stated,"My initial evaluation is that of course Israel doesn't want witnesses against it in this historic case in Belgium." Israeli Prime Minister Terrorist Sharon dismissed the charges: "I am simply saying, from our point of view, we have no link to this subject at all, and this is not worthy of a comment," Sharon told reporters. September to December of 2001 ~ Some 200 Palestinian children were killed and 400 injured by the Israeli forces. Sixty Palestinian homes in Gaza were destroyed as part of a collective punishment for the death of 4 Israeli soldiers. March 6-16, 2002 ~ Some 200 Palestinian civilians were slaughtered in Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces. March 30, 2002 ~ Five Palestinian bank guards executed in Ramallah by the Israeli soldiers. April 3-11, 2002 ~ IDF massacred at least 52 Palestinian civilians. So brutal was the Israeli action that the HRW castigated Israel to have “committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, some amounting prima facie to war crimes." Amnesty International, in its November 4, 2002 report on Jenin and Nablus similarly alleged that Israel had committed war crimes. Specifically, the reports stated that unlawful killings occurred; there was a failure to ensure medical or humanitarian relief; demolition of houses and

property occurred; water and electricity supplies to civilians were cut; torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment in arbitrary detention occurred; and Palestinians civilians were used for military operations or as “human shields.” In addition, the Amnesty report charged that civilians were not warned before their houses were demolished and hence they were buried in the rubble.

Mohammed Jibril

May 20, 2002 ~ Mossad car bombed Mohammed Jibril, son of a Palestinian leader. July 23, 2002 ~ A F16 jet dropped a 1,000 lb. laser-guided bomb on an occupied Gaza City apartment block, killing 15 people, including 9 children and Sheikh Salah Shahada, the military leader of Hamas. Over 150 were wounded, mostly old men and women. February 5, 2003 ~ Kamla Said, a partially deaf woman of 65 was killed when the Israeli army demolished her house by dynamiting it during a raid on the Maghazi refugee camp in the Gaza Strip while she was still inside.

March 16, 2003 ~ Rachel Corrie, 23, a peace activist from America, was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer in Rafah, Gaza, as she had protested against house demolitions. April 11, 2003 ~ Tom Hurndall, 21, a peace activist from London, was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier as he had tried to help a Palestinian woman and her children move away from a gunfight in Rafah. August 4, 2005 ~ Ex-Israeli Army personnel and Kach Party member Eden Natan-Zada attacked a bus using an assault rifle, killing 4, wounding 12 Palestinians. July 15, 2006 ~ The IDF, shortly before its invasion of Lebanon, in an official response to the kidnapping of one of its soldiers by the Hamas militants near the Gaza Strip, undertook a severe raid, in which at least 60 civilians were killed and hundreds injured. Israeli planes bombed an electrical power distribution facility, knocking out power to half of the Gaza Strip, and knocking out water pumping stations, leaving much of the Strip without potable water. Bridges linking the northern and southern halves of the Gaza strip were bombed, and border crossings were closed, putting at risk the civilian population of the Strip, which is totally dependent on supplies of food and fuel brought in through the border crossings with Israel. July-August 2006 ~ The Israeli Air Force bombed Lebanon for 34 days, killing some 1,300 civilians. So sadistic was the bombing campaign, Lebanon was dubbed to have been “bombed into the stone age.” Lebanon’s infrastructure was destroyed. November 8, 2006 ~ The IDF shelled a row of houses in the Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun, killing 19 Palestinians and wounding more than 40. Italy’s foreign minister Massimo D’Alema called the shelling of the civilians deliberate. The 2007 Amnesty International Report for the year ending in December of 2006 stated, “Increased violence between Israelis and Palestinians resulted in a threefold increase in killings of Palestinians by Israeli forces. The number of Israelis killed by Palestinian armed groups diminished by half. More than 650 Palestinians, including some 120 children, and 27 Israelis were killed. Israeli forces carried out air and artillery bombardments in the Gaza Strip, and Israel continued to expand illegal settlements and to build a 700-km fence/wall on Palestinian land in the Occupied Territories. Military blockades and increased restrictions imposed by Israel on the movement of Palestinians and the confiscation by Israel of Palestinian customs duties caused a significant deterioration in living conditions for

Palestinian inhabitants in the Occupied Territories, with poverty, food aid dependency, health problems and unemployment reaching crisis levels. Israeli soldiers and settlers committed serious human rights abuses, including unlawful killings, against Palestinians, mostly with impunity. Thousands of Palestinians were arrested by Israeli forces throughout the Occupied Territories on suspicion of security offenses and hundreds were held in administrative detention. Israeli conscientious objectors continued to be imprisoned for refusing to serve in the army. In a 34-day war against Hezbollah in Lebanon in JulyAugust, Israeli forces committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, including war crimes. Israeli bombardments killed nearly 1,200 people, and destroyed or damaged tens of thousands of homes and other civilian infrastructure. Israeli forces also littered south Lebanon with around a million unexploded cluster bombs which continued to kill and maim civilians after the conflict.”

June 1, 2007 ~ Israeli troops shot and killed two 13-year-old Palestinians ~Ahmed Abu Zbeida and Zaher al-Majdalawi ~ near the Gaza-Israel border fence, saying that they were crawling toward the barrier in a “suspicious manner.” The boys had told their families they were going to the beach. (The Guardian, June 1, 2007) In its year-end review of Israeli violence against Palestinian people, the Israeli Human Rights Organization B’tselem stated that in 2007, up to 29 December, Israeli security forces killed 373 Palestinians ~ 290 in Gaza, 83 in the West Bank, 53 among them minors. By comparison, in 2006, 657 Palestinians were killed, including 140 minors: 523 in Gaza, 134 in the West Bank. In 2007, there was an increase of 13 % in the number of Palestinians held in

administrative detention without trial, which averaged 830 people. Sixty-six staffed checkpoints and 459 physical roadblocks on average controlled movement inside the West Bank, thus hindering Palestinians’ freedom of movement. Israel continued the freeze policy on family unification, denying tens of thousands of Palestinians the right to a family life. The number of houses demolished in East Jerusalem rose by 38 percent. Palestinians continue to face severe discrimination in the allocation of water in the West Bank, causing serious hardship in the summer. The 2008 Amnesty International Report, in its year-end review for 2007, stated, “The human rights situation in the Israeli Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) remained dire. Israeli forces killed more than 370 Palestinians, destroyed more than 100 Palestinian homes and imposed ever more stringent restrictions on the movement of Palestinians. In June, the Israeli government imposed an unprecedented blockade on the Gaza Strip, virtually imprisoning its entire 1.5 million population, subjected them to collective punishment and causing the gravest humanitarian crisis to date. Some 40 Palestinians died after being refused passage out of Gaza for urgent medical treatment not available in local hospitals. Some 9,000 Palestinian adults and children remained in Israeli jails, some of whom had been held without charge or trial for years.” During the same period 13 Israelis were killed by Palestinian armed groups. As if this litany of state terrorism is not enough, Palestinians suspected of actively opposing Israel’s occupation of the West Bank or Gaza, have had their homes and families attacked by Israeli tanks, mortars, missiles and bombs. And after their suspect is killed or imprisoned, the Israeli army bulldozes or dynamites their family’s home. Over the years of occupation, thousands of homes have been destroyed in this fashion. Israel has also killed hundreds of Palestinian leaders by assassination. Such attacks often kill innocent bystanders. Police brutality against Arab Israelis is common and well documented. Illegal detention, beatings, personal property confiscations and torture of Arab citizens of Israel are a fact of life. Their homes are routinely invaded and ransacked in the middle of the night, under the pretext of searching for suspects. From 1967 to 1988 more than 600,000 Palestinians have been held in Israeli jail for periods ranging from one week to life. During the first Intifada (1987-1994), Israel arrested some 175,000 Palestinians. According to the B’tselem, some 85% of Palestinian detainees have been tortured during interrogation. The Israeli torture includes everything from choking victims with urine and

feces soaked bags tied over their heads to using electric cattle prods for anal rape and mutilation. The brutal torture of prisoners and detainees is recognized as a particularly vicious form of terrorism. Many thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese have died while in Israeli custody. The use of cluster bombs in civilian territories is known to kill unarmed civilians and as such considered a crime, according to most international laws. However, Israel used cluster bombs in its bombing campaigns in Lebanon. Not surprisingly, therefore, that while the rest of the world recently vowed never to under any circumstance “use cluster munitions” nor “develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile, retain or transfer to anyone, directly or indirectly, cluster munitions,” Israel, like the USA, China and Russia have not ratified the treaty banning its use. Notwithstanding the fact that the above list of terrorism is incomplete, what is clear is that many of the leaders of the State of Israel ~ Begin, Rabin, Shamir, Barak and Sharon ~ were terrorists and that, irrespective of who runs the government there, the State of Israel continues to practice terrorism against her dispossessed Palestinians and neighbors. Audaciously, she has also practiced terrorism against the USA, the country which has been her greatest benefactor. Recently, Israel’s latest 11-month blockade of Gaza has been dubbed as “abominable” by Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Laureate for Peace. He denounced the international community by stating that “our silence and complicity, especially on the situation in Gaza, shames us all. It is almost like the behavior of the military junta in Burma." The recent war in Palestine was no war ~ it was a holocaust in which children and women were targeted, as in Lebanon two years prior. The old saw children used as shields for Hamas is given and the media accepts it. It is well documented that Israel blatantly ignored the six month ceasefire and, when Hamas retaliated, Israiel fell upon the Palestinians with a heavy and ugly boot. Meanwhile the settlement plans for the West Bank are being doubled as the settlers continue to terrorize and kill Palestinians. The socalled current ceasefire is marked with one breach after another by Israel ~ a young farmer here, a family there, Israel continues its path of expulsion and terror. And always the children.

Shot in the head, Feb 14, 2009, by IDF, 13 year old Hammad Silmiya was tending his grazing sheep.

Sadly, many lawmakers in the West who cry out foul about human rights violations in places like Burma and China ~ especially when it comes to Tibet ~ are the most vocal supporters of state terrorism of Israel. Why this double standard? Are all complicit leaders in Europe and the West in agreement with this Zionist genocide or will they ever develop the moral courage to condemn Israel for her monumental records of state terrorism?
