"We committed Nazi acts."
Aharon Zisling, Israel's first Agriculture Minister
"There is no doubt that many sexual atrocities were committed by the
attacking Jews. Many young (Arab) girls were raped and later
slaughtered. Old women were also molested."
General Richard Catling, British Army Assistant Inspector after
interrogating several female survivors (The Palestinian Catastrophe,
Michael Palumbo, 1987)
As the evil state of Israel is celebrating sixty years of ethnic
cleansing and atrocities against the native Palestinians, many people
around the world, especially young generations, will not be fully
aware of the manner in which Israel came into existence. Similarly,
the younger Zionist generations who don't stop calling their
Palestinian victims "terrorists" should have a clearer idea about
Israel's manifestly criminal past which Zionist school textbooks
shamelessly glamorize and glorify.
Prior to "Jewish" statehood, three main Jewish terror organizations
operated in Palestine, primarily against Palestinian civilians and
British mandate targets. The three were: The Haganah, the Zvei Leumi
or Irgun and the Stern Gang. The Haganah (Defence) had a field army
of up to 160,000 well-trained and well-armed men and a unit called
the Palmach, with more than 6,000 terrorists. The Irgun included as
many as 5,000 terrorists, while the Stern Gang included 200-300
dangerous terrorists.
The following are merely some examples of Zionist terrorism prior to
the creation of the Zionist state in 1948: The list doesn't include
the bigger massacres such as Dir Yasin, Dawaymeh, Tantura and others.
1937-1939
During this period, Zionist terrorists carried out a series of terror
attacks against Palestinian buses resulting in the death of 24
persons and the wounding of 25 others.
1939
Haganah blew up the Iraqi oil pipeline near Haifa/Palestine. Moshe
Dayan was one of the participants in this act. The technique was used
in 1947 at least four times.
1940
On 6 November, 1940 , Zionist terrorists of the Stern Gang
assassinated the British Minister resident in the Middle East , Lord
Moyne, in Cairo .
1940
On 25 November, S.S. Patria was blown up by Jewish terrorists in
Haifa harbour, killing 268 illegal Jewish immigrants. The explosion,
carried out by the Haganah terrorist group, was only meant to prevent
the ship from sailing. However, it seemed that the terrorists had
miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to disable the vessel.
Other sources reported that this was no miscalculation and was a
deliberate mass murder of Jews by Jews aimed at drawing sympathy and
influencing British immigration policy to Palestine .
1946
Zionist terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which
housed the civilian administration of the government of Palestine,
killing and injuring more than 200 persons. The Irgun gang claimed
responsibility for this criminal act, but subsequent evidence
indicated that both the Haganah and the Jewish Agency were involved.
1946
On 1 October, the British Embassy in Rome was badly damaged by a bomb
explosion for which Irgun claimed responsibility.
1947
In June 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.
1947
In December 1947, six Palestinians were killed and 30 wounded when
bombs were thrown from Jewish trucks at Arab houses in Haifa; 12
Palestinians were killed and another injured in an attack by armed
Zionists at an Arab coastal village near Haifa.
1947
On 13 December 1947 , Zionist terrorists believed to be members of
Irgun Zevi Leumi murdered 18 Palestinian civilians and wounded 60
others in Jerusalem , Jaffa and Lud areas. In Jerusalem , bombs were
thrown in an Arab market-place near the Damascus Gate; in Jaffa bombs
were thrown into an Arab café; and in the Arab village near Lud, 12
Arabs were killed in an attack with mortars and automatic weapons.
1947
On 9 December, Haganah terrorists attacked an Arab village near
Safad, blowing up two houses, in the ruins of which were found the
bodies of 10 Arabs, including 5 children. Haganah admitted
responsibility for the attack.
1947
On 29 December, two British constables and 11 Palestinians were
killed and 32 others were injured at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem
when Irgun terrorists threw a bomb from a taxi.

On 1 January, Haganah terrorists attacked a village on the slope of
Mount Carmel , killing 17 Palestinian civilians and wounding 33
others.
1948
On 4 January, Haganah terrorists wearing British Army uniforms
penetrated into the centre of Jaffa and blew up the Sarai, which was
used as headquarters of the Arab National Committee, killing more
than 40 persons and wounding 98 others.
1948
On 5 January, the Arab-owned Semiramis Hotel in Jerusalem was blown
up, killing 20 civilians, among them Viscount De Tapia, the Spanish
Consul. Haganah admitted responsibility for this outrage.
1948
On 7 January , seventeen Arab civilians were killed by a bomb at the
Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem , 3 of them while trying to escape. Further
casualties, including the murder of a British officer near Hebron,
were reported from different parts of the country.

On 16 January, Jewish terrorists blew up three Arab buildings,
killing 8 children between the age of 18 months and 12 years.
December 13, 1947- February 10, 1948
Seven bombing attacks by Jewish terrorists took place and the targets
were innocent Arab civilians in cafés and markets, killing 138 and
wounding 271 others. During this period, there were 9 attacks on Arab
buses. Moreover, Jewish terrorists attacked passenger trains on at
least four occasions, killing 93 persons and wounding 161 others.
1948
On 15 February , Haganah terrorists attacked an Arab village near
Safad and blew up several houses, killing 11 civilians, including
four children.
1948
On 3 March, heavy damage was done to the Arab-owned Salam building in
Haifa (a seven-story block of flats and shops) by Jewish terrorists
who drove an army truck to the building and escaped before detonation
of 400 pounds of explosives, killing 11 Arab civilians and 3
Americans. The Stern Gang claimed responsibility.
1948
On 22 March, Jewish terrorists from the Stern Gang blew up a housing
block in Iraq Street in Haifa , killing 17 and injuring 100 others.
Four members of the Stern Gang drove two truckloads of explosives
into the street and abandoned the vehicles before the explosives went
off.

officer in Palestine , was detected in the nick of time by his wife.
April 25, 1948- May 13, 1948
Wholesale looting of Jaffa was carried out following armed attacks by
Irgun and Haganah terrorists. They plundered and carried away
everything they could, destroying what they could not take with them.
1948
On 17 September, Count Folke Berndadotte, UN Mediator in Palestine
was assassinated by members of the Stern Gang in the Zionist-
controlled sector of Jerusalem . Bernadotte's aide Col. Serot was
also killed and murdered by Jewish terrorists.
1948
In November, the Christian Arab villages of Igrit and Birim were
attacked and destroyed, killing and injuring many unarmed civilians,
including women and children. All the Christian Arab inhabitants were
forcibly expelled from their homes. The State of Israel still refuses
to allow them to return to their villages despite several court
orders.
1948-1949
The greatest acts of Jewish terror took place when Jewish terrorists,
now called Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), uprooted 700,000-800,000
Palestinians from their ancestral homeland in Palestine . Since then
the refugees have consistently been denied the right to return home.
After the expulsion, the Zionist terrorist army razed to the ground
hundreds of Arab towns, villages and hamlets and obliterated their
remains. Eventually, Israeli villages, Kibbutzim and towns were built
on the remaining rubble.
