I have a lot of sympathy for Israels battles with terrorists but they have gone too far this time.
here read this, if you want to learn about terrorism:
and for those of you who say Israel is fighting
terrorism, here are some facts about Israel and their
use of "terrorism"
Terrorism has been the hallmark of Israeli leaders,
including Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, Ehud Barak,
Benjamin Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon, amongst others.
The massacres, including Deir Yassin, Doueima, Safsaf,
Tantura, amongst scores of others, and war crimes that
they have orchestrated would take volumes to relate.
One of the most notorious examples of Israeli
terrorism in the post-war period 1945-1948, was the
bombing of the King David Hotel on July 22, 1946,
which killed 92 people.
Assassination of Palestinian leaders and
intellectuals, in Europe and the Middle East has gone
on for years. Fathi Shikaki was assassinated in Malta
in 1995 on the orders of Yitzhak Rabin. The role of
Ehud Barak, dressed as an Arab woman, in the
assassination of three Palestinian leaders, including
the poet Kemal Nasser, in 1973 in Beirut, must not be
forgotten.
Israeli assassination is not limited to Palestinians
but includes the 1944 assassination of the British
minister Lord Moyne in Cairo as planned by Yitzhak
Shamir.
A horrible crime was committed in the assassination of
the Swedish nobleman, Count Folke Bernadotte, a UN
mediator, on Sept. 17, 1948, in Jerusalem, on the
orders of Yitzhak Shamir, who later became prime
minister of Israel. Count Bernadotte’s sin was his
recommendation, as the UN mediator, that Palestinian
refugees who were driven out from their homes by
Israel should be allowed to return to their homes.
This recommendation was the substance of the UN
resolution 194, on Dec. 11, 1948, stipulating the
right of return for the Palestinian refugees as soon
as possible.
Israeli use of chemical weapons is also on record in
the botched attempt to assassinate Khalid Meshal, a
Hamas leader, in Amman in 1997, on the orders of Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The first act of air piracy in the history of civil
aviation was carried out by Israel in 1954, when a
civilian Syrian airliner was forced down in Tel Aviv
and its passengers and crew held hostage, despite
international condemnation.
The first act of shooting down a civilian airliner was
deliberately carried out by Israel when a Libyan
airliner was shot down by Israeli jet fighters over
Sinai in February 1973, on the orders of Israeli prime
minister Golda Meir, killing 107 of its passengers and
its entire French crew.
Israeli terror was not restricted to Palestinians,
Arabs and Europeans but included its own closest
supporter and ally, the United States. In 1954,
Israeli secret agents bombed the U.S. diplomatic
centres in Cairo and Alexandria (known as the Lavon
Affair), in an attempt to put the blame on the
Egyptians. Israel later honoured the perpetrator,
Marcello Ninio.
In June 1967, Israeli forces attacked the U.S. spy
ship USS Liberty, and strafed rescue boats, killing 35
and injuring 170 U.S. servicemen, in an attempt to
conceal its own secret communications, and again tried
to blame it on the Egyptians. To this day, incredible
as it may seem, the U.S. Congress refuses to hold an
inquiry into this crime, as requested by the surviving
crew. Needless to say, no sanctions were imposed or
calls to extradite the perpetrators were made.
Zionist terror did not spare Jews. In 1940, Menachem
Begin’s Irgun Zwei Leumi terrorist gang bombed the
ship Patria in Haifa harbor, killing 240 Jewish
refugees, so as to put the blame on the British for
political gain.
In 1950-1951, Israeli agents were dispatched to Iraq
where they tossed hand grenades into the crowded
Massauda Shem-Tov synagogue, causing numerous deaths,
in order to blame it on the Iraqis and encourage
reluctant Iraqi Jews to rturn to Israel.
