Israel Muse said... you are a stupid uneducated idiot spreading lies about us..." Part 3/3

Part 2: Some Other Acts of Terror.

Sinking of the S.S. Patria in Haifa Harbor (November 25, 1940)

What happened: The Patria was filled with Jewish refugees whom the British refused to allow to emigrate to Palestine. The Haganah decided to prevent the Patria from leaving port by sabotage. A mine was prepared at Haifa, concealed in a cloth bag and smuggled aboard the ship, where it was handed over to one of the Haganah liaison officers. On November 25, 1940, at about 9 a.m. the mine was detonated. The intention was to blast a small hole in the vessel's side so that that it would slowly take in water, allowing time to evacuate all those on board. However, the mine blasted a large hole and water flooded into the hold. Some 276 people (200 of them Jews, and most of the remainder British soldiers) went down with the ship.

Terrorizing of Iraqi Jews (1950-1951)

What happened: Three bombs thrown by Israeli agents between April 1950 and January 1951 at locations frequented by Jews in Baghdad succeeded in causing a panic. Iraqi Jews assumed that terrorists were attacking them. Almost all of Iraq's 130,000 Jews left, most emigrating to Israel. While the first two bombs didn't kill anyone, the third killed a Jewish boy.

The Lavon Affair (July 1954)

What happened: An Israeli spy ring in Egypt planted firebombs at several locations, apparently intending to damage U.S.-Egyptian ties: July 2, in the Alexandria post office; July 14, US Information Service libraries in Cairo and Alexandria; July 23, two cinemas, the central post office and the railway station, all in Cairo.

Operation Damocles (West Germany and Egypt, 1962-1963)
What happened: Between September 1962 and March 1963, Israel attempted to disrupt Egyptian research, assisted by West German scientists, into military rockets. Israel killed a number of people during this operation, including five with a letter bomb on November 28, 1962.

Shooting Down of Libya Airlines Flight 114 (February 21, 1973)
What happened: Disoriented in a sudden sandstorm on a regular flight from Tripoli to Cairo, Flight 114 entered airspace over the Sinai peninsula, then occupied by Israel. Within minutes, Israel shot the plane down, killing 106 of the 113 on board, including an American. The place crashed only 20 kilometers from the Egyptian-Sinai line. Prime Minister Golda Meir, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, and Transportation Minister Shimon Peres found no fault with the Israel's actions.

Hebron Massacre (February 25, 1994)
What happened: American-born West Bank settler Dr. Baruch Goldstein opened fire on Muslims praying at the Tomb of the Patriarchs. He killed 29 Palestinians before being beaten to death by the worshippers. Settlers established a shrine to him that was forcibly removed by the Israeli Government only in 1999. His father later wrote that "Perhaps someday our leaders will remove the blinders from their eyes, stop running with the deluded, persecuting pack and find the integrity to print the truth about Baruch's final act of self-sacrifice."

Part 3: General Sources on Zionist/Israeli 

Massacres and Other Terrorism.

"Not Only Deir Yassin" (Guy Erlich, Ha'ir [Israeli newspaper], 6 May 1992) Essential

"According to [Israeli historian Aryeh] Yitzhaki, about ten major massacres were committed in the course of the War of Independence (i.e. more than fifty victims in each massacre) and about a hundred smaller massacres (of individuals or small groups). ... The historian Uri Milstein, a myth-shatterer, corroborates Yitzhaki's assessment regarding the massacres' extent and goes even further. 'If Yitzhaki claims that almost in every village there were murders, then I maintain that even before the establishment of the State, each battle ended with a massacre.'"

"Oy McVey: From the Irv Rubin Bust to the Stern Gang: The Rich History of Jewish Terrorism" (Jason Vest; The Village Voice; December 19-15, 2001)

"There are streets named after the assassins of Moyne and Bernadotte. They are historical figures not disavowed by the rhetoric of the state of Israel, nor is there any reflection on the fact that two terrorist leaders later became distinguished leaders of the republic."
