The state of Israel was founded by terrorist organizations that committed acts of terror against the British and Arab peoples of Palestine. Organizations such as Haganah and the more militant Irgun attacked civilians and bombed non-military targets both British and Arab. Their predecessors began attacking Palestinians well before the 1948 war that resulted in the declaration of the state of Israel and terrorism against the Palestinian people has continued unabated ever since the Nakba. It is important to understand that Israel was founded by terrorists because the label terrorist is used to discredit any Palestinian opposition to the theft of their lands and their brutal treatment by the occupying Zionist forces. The first prime minister of the Likud party which has governed Israel for much of the period post 1967 was Menachem Begin. He led the terrorist group Irgun in mandatory Palestine. This group was designated terrorist by the British mandatory authority.
Sarcasm is a very good way to shut down a conversation but you are not alone. Zionist apologists are often sarcastic because it’s too hard to defend genocide on its merits, . If you go back and reread my post instead of rushing out to show the world how clever you can be you would see that I conceded that Zionists do not have a monopoly on violence but I said that I was concentrating on Zionist violence because Zionist violence is rarely talked about. I also know that if you add up all the innocent victims of Hamas, the plo, the fedayeen and any other Palestinian resistance organizations you want to throw in there it would not add up to the tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians killed, the tens of thousands injured, the thousands of innocent Palestinians taken hostage, the lands stolen, the 50+ years of brutal occupation of Palestinian territory, that includes torture, rape , Israeli imposed shortages of food, water and medicine and the operation of the largest concentration camp in the history of the world but yes the people who have suffered all that also did some bad things.
My brother, why do you say it's sarcasm and accuse me of being anyone's apologist? I simply filled in a space in history that was left out of your original post after I had taken your advice to look further into it.
Widdle baby going to take his toys and go home. You got caught guy. Just deal with it and stop trying to deny it. I can tolerate people who have different views on issues but I can’t tolerate a phony. Bye bye
Well, I'm not going to argue with you on your own substack. I'd rather have conversations than have silly, personal accusations leveled against me by a stranger on the internet. I'll look elsewhere for more meaningful content and discussions . Have a nice one.
Every time I comment (and it's not that often), substack forces me to create another account. Or I guess it's not an account because then I'd have something to log into consistently. I'm not an expert on these things. But either way, before I arouse any more of your suspicions and since this is not within the realm of a thoughtful discussion, I'll bid you farewell.
Thank you for this post Ed. As you suggested, I took this information and used it as a springboard to research more information on this history of Jewish and Arab Muslim relations in the region. I was able to find a lot of information that predates the events you listed here which you might be interested in.
January 1919: A man named Haj Amin el-Husseini, leader of one of the most prominent Arab clans in Jerusalem, began to organize fedayeen terrorists to drive the Jews from Palestine. They first attacked Tel Hai, a Jewish neighborhood in the north near the Syrian border in January and then attacked Tel Hai again on March 1 killing eight Jews and injuring 200.
March-April 1919: The Arab terrorists attacked more than a dozen Jewish agricultural settlements in the Galilee including Kfar Tavor, Degania, Rosh Pina, Ayelet Hashahar, Mishmar Hayarden, Kfar Giladi and Metulla. During the Passover of that year, the Mufti incited the masses to attack the Jewish population in the Old City of Jerusalem, killing five Jews and injuring more than 100.
May 1, 1921: The Mufti incited Arabs to arm themselves and attack Jews in Jaffa. Terrorists came to the streets of Jaffa armed with knives, pistols and rifles and began to beat and murder Jews while looting Jewish stores and homes, killing 27 Jews and injuring 150. The attacks spread to Jewish communities in Petach Tikvah, Rehovot, Hadera, and Haifa.
1924: Arab terrorists began looting Jewish property, causing extensive damage, and attacks against Jews throughout Palestine. The sporadic attacks became much more organized and the terror targeted Jewish communities near Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed and Kfar Darom. In all, 135 Jews were killed and more than 300 were injured.
August 23, 1929: More than 1,000 Arab terrorists attacked Jews throughout Jerusalem, killing 47 under the battle cry, “defend the holy places!”
August 24, 1929: The Hebron Massacre :Arabs terrorists murdered 18 Jews, injuring 40, and burning down 200 homes.In total, with the attacks in other cities during those few days, 133 Jews were killed and 339 were injured.
April-July 1936: Arab terrorists killed over 40 Jews between and burned thousands of acres of Jewish fields and crops.
October 2, 1938: Arab terrorists shot and burned 21 Jews, including 10 children below the age of 12.
Spot on. I don't have time for twits like this. I answer Jew Haters once or twice so other people who may be reading, see an excellent refutation. But I am not going to change this fucker's mind - all I can hope is that what Fakestinians did to young women at the Nova Festival happens to his female family members - and he is made to watch.

Because it is sarcasm and you are an apologist.

It’s also very suspicious that the only post you’ve ever read is mine. What’s up with that?
