What I actually said, was that the Hindu Nationalists do pogroms. And that they might share "tradecraft", on techniques for controlling uppity Muslims. But, now that you bring up the subject of Zionist terrorism: The Irgun and Lehi men came out of hiding and began to “clean” the houses. They shot whoever they saw, women and children included, the commanders did not try to stop the massacre ... I pleaded with the commander to order his men to cease fire, but to no avail. In the meantime, 25 Arabs had been loaded on a truck and driven through Mahne-Yehuda and Zichron Yosef (like prisoners in a Roman “March of Triumph”). At the end of the drive, they were taken to the quarry between Deir-Yassin and Givat-Shaul, and murdered in cold blood 216.239.37.104 The first terrorist activities (indiscriminate bombings of civilians in public places) in the Middle East occured on November 11th 1937. Two people were killed at a bus depot near Jaffa Street in Jerusalem and five were wounded by the bomb. On November 14th more were killed in simultaneous attacks around the country. July 6 1938 a disguised terrorist in a Haifa market placed two milk cans full of TNT and shrapnel in a crowded market and killed 24, wounding 52. On July 25th another market bombing killed 39, wounded 70. On August 26th 24 killed amd 39 wounded. All of these bombing were carried out by the IZL. The Irgun Z'via Leumi. A Zionist organization. The arabs learned the effectiveness of terrorism the hard way. 216.239.39.104 On 4 December 1948 the New York Times published a letter signed by Hannah Arendt, Albert Einstein, Sidney Hook and Seymour Melmen, among others. With Einstein’s name attached to it, the critique attracted enormous attention. Although it was written from a pro-Zionist perspective, their powerful statement became the classic summation of Revisionist politics until that point, and has been reprinted many times since: Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat HaHerut), a political party closely akin to its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine ... Today they speak of freedom, democracy and anti-imperialism, whereas until recently they openly preached the doctrine of the Fascist state. It is in its actions that the terrorist party betrays its real character ... A shocking example was their behaviour in the Arab village of Deir Yassin ... The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party ... they have preached an admixture of ultra-nationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority ... in the light of the foregoing considerations, it is imperative that the truth about Mr Begin and his movement be made known in this country. It is all the more tragic that the top leadership of American Zionism has refused to campaign against Begin’s efforts. (same as first link) Begin, after a career of terror, bombing Arab civilians, and ethnic cleansing, went on to become Prime Minister of Israel.
