🇮🇱🇵🇸💣 Jewish Terrorism & The Foundation of Israel

I've recently observed many Zionists say recognising a Palestinian state is "rewarding terrorism"

Ironic, considering Israel was founded on and created by terrorists. Let's take a look at early Zionist terrorism

1/15 🧵

2/15 After WWII a paramilitary group of 50 Jews nicknamed "the avengers" had a failed plot to kill 6 million German civilians by poisoning the German water supplies

The leader of the plot, Abba Kovner, was awarded the Israel Prize in 1970, the country's highest cultural honour

3/15 Once Jews began to settle Palestine in the early 20th Century, terrorism soon followed. Haganah was formed in 1920

Out of this came two more radical Zionist paramilitaries: Irgun (est. 1931) and Lehi or "the Stern Gang" (est. 1940)

4/15 In 1940, Haganah bombed the SS Patria, a ship being used by the British to deport 1,800 Jews who had tried to enter Palestine illegally

Haganah intended to cripple the ship, but ended up sinking it and killing 267 people, including 50 crew members and British servicemen

5/15 In 1944, Zionist paramilitaries began an insurgency against British rule in the Mandate of Palestine, targeting both British and Arab forces

One of the main organisers was Irgun leader Menachem Begin, future founder of Likud and Prime Minister of Israel

6/15 In 1946, Begin's Irgun carried out the King David Hotel bombing

The bombing resulted in the deaths of 91 people and injured 46 others. Among the victims were hotel staff and other innocent bystanders

In 2006, Israel unveiled a plaque to celebrate those responsible

7/15 The apparently more moderate Haganah was responsible for the Christian-owned Semiramis Hotel bombing on January 5, 1948

The explosion killed at least 25 Palestinians that were celebrating Orthodox Christmas, as well as a senior Spanish diplomat

8/15 1947 brought the so-called "Sergeants Affair"

Irgun kidnapped two British Army Intelligence Corps NCOs, and in response to the death sentences passed on three Irgun fighters, they hanged them and booby trapped their bodies

Fury at this led to anti-Jewish riots in Britain

9/15 Throughout the insurgency and prior to it, Zionist terror groups engaged in indiscriminate killings against Palestinians

In one instance in 1938, 43 people were killed when Jewish terrorists placed a bomb in a crowded market in Haifa

10/15 In April 1948, Irgun and Lehi militants jointly committed the Deir Yassin massacre of at least 107 Palestinian villagers, including women and children. Deir Yassin was a Palestinian village of around 600 people near Jerusalem

11/15 Some of the first hand accounts of the Deir Yassin massacre included a report of a young man tied to a tree and set on fire, girls lined up against a wall and shot with a sub machine gun, and a baby thrown into an oven while its father watched

12/15 Many perpetrators of the Deir Yassin massacre were later absorbed into the IDF

Menachim Begin later stated in his book "Without what was done at Deir Yassin, there would not have been a state of Israel."

13/15 Jewish groups like Haganah and Begin's Irgun continued regular offensives into Arab settlements after the 1948 Arab-Israli war, with terrorism, r*pe, and indisciminate killing use to enforce a state of terror

Fearing more events like Deir Yassin, hundreds of thousands fled

14/15 In total in 1948, 700,000 Palestinians -- half the Arab population of Palestine -- either fled their homes or were expelled by Zionist paramilitary organisations with the support of the Israeli military

Then, a series of laws were passed to prevent them returning

15/15 Recently, it has been uncovered that Israeli forces engaged in a secret operation named “Cast Thy Bread”

Echoing "the avengers", this plan -- approved by Israel's founder Ben-Gurion -- had Jewish forces poison wells of Arab areas to force their populations to flee or die
