Israeli Terrorists Celebrate (4.00 / 2)

.
Not all terrorists are ... immoral!

Simon McDonald, the British Ambassador in Tel Aviv, and John Jenkins, the Consul-General in Jerusalem, have written to the municipality, stating: "We do not think that it is right for an act of terrorism, which led to the loss of many lives, to be commemorated."

In particular they demanded the removal of the plaque that pays tribute to the Irgun, the Jewish resistance branch headed by Menachem Begin, the future Prime Minister, which carried out the attack on July 22, 1946.

"Warning phone calls had been made" does not meet facts in British report of a second diversionary explosion in the road, within minutes followed by the King David Hotel explosion.

... The controversy over the plaque and the two-day celebration of the bombing, sponsored by Irgun veterans and the right-wing Menachem Begin Heritage Centre, goes to the heart of the debate over the use of political violence in the Middle East.

With the arguments put forth by Dershowitz on morality of killing innocent civilians, not much has changed in sixty years, or perhaps 2,000 years in the Promised Land.

Israelis Celebrating on Graves of 92 Victims of Terror ≈

Re: Israeli Terrorists Celebrate (none / 1)

I've done a Eurotrib story on that, with some added info on the Irgun gang and Begin: Israel: a walk on the dark side. There is a vigorous debate there at the moment.

Re: Israeli Terrorists Celebrate (none / 1)

My landlady's husband was killed by the Irgun while serving in Palestine after the war. It always stuck in my mind.

Re: Israeli Terrorists Celebrate (none / 1)

The only real promise in the so-called "promised land" is the promise of the spilling of more blood of innocents in the name of one god or another.

Calling this the "Holy Land" is the ultimate hypocrisy, the most egregious sacriledge.

Denial is our most dangerous adversary.
