EARLY ZIONIST TERRORIST GANGS.

Soon after the end of World War II, there were three basic para-
military Zionist organizations in Palestine, working against the Arab
people, with the specific purpose of driving it out of Palestine.
These were the Haganah, the Irgun Zvai Leumi and the Stern Gang.

Before the British Mandate, the Jewish settlers had formed a group of
mounted armed watchmen called "Hashomar" and with the advent of the
British Mandate, it became the Haganah (Defense). With a membership
of 60,000 Zionist Jews, the Haganah had a field army of 16,000
trained men and a unit called the Palmach, which was a full-time
force, numbering about 6000.

The Irgun Zvai Leumi included between 3000 and 5000 armed terrorists,
and grew out of the Haganah and its Palmach branch in 1933. The Irgun
was not ready to obey the Jewish Agency which sought to dilute the
terror of the Haganah in order not to lose its respectability.

In 1939, one of Irgun's commanding officers, Abraham Stern, left the
parent organization and formed the Stern Gang, numbering some 200 to
300 dangerous fanatics.

SOME EARLY EXAMPLES OF JEWISH-ZIONIST TERROR.

August 20, 1937 - June 29, 1939. During this period, the Zionists
carried out a series of attacks against Arab buses, resulting in the
death of 24 persons and wounding 25 others.

November 25, 1940. S.S.Patria was blown up by Jewish terrorists in
Haifa harbour, killing 268 illegal Jewish immigrants (see below).

November 6, 1944. Zionist terrorists of the Stern Gang assassinated
the British Minister Resident in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in
Cairo.

July 22, 1946. Zionist terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in
Jerusalem, which housed the central offices of the civilian
administration of the government of Palestine, killing or injuring
more than 200 persons. The Irgun officially claimed responsibility
for the incident, but subsequent evidence indicated that both the
Haganah and the Jewish Agency were involved.

October 1, 1946. The British Embassy in Rome was badly damaged by
bomb explosions, for which Irgun claimed responsibility.

June 1947. Letters sent to British Cabinet Ministers were found to
contain bombs.

September 3, 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)

December 11, 1947. Six Arabs were killed and 30 wounded when bombs
were thrown from Jewish trucks at Arab buses in Haifa; 12 Arabs were
killed and others injured in an attack by armed Zionists on an Arab
coastal village near Haifa.

December 13,1947. Zionist terrorists, believed to be members of Irgun
Zvai Leumi, killed 18 Arabs and wounded nearly 60 in Jerusalem, Jaffa
and Lydda areas. In Jerusalem, bombs were thrown in an Arab market-

Arab cafe; in the Arab village of Al Abbasya, near Lydda, 12 Arabs
were killed in an attack with mortars and automatic weapons.

December 19, 1947. 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.

December 29, 1947. Two British constables and 11 Arabs were killed
and 32 Arabs injured, at the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem when Irgun
members threw a bomb from a taxi.

more than 60 Arabs.

1947 -- 1948. Over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were uprooted from their
homes and land, and forced to live in refugee camps on Israel's
borders. They have been denied the right to return to their homes.
They have been refused compensation for their homes, orchards, farms
and other property stolen from them by the Israeli government. After
their expulsion, the "Israeli Forces" totally obliterated (usually by
bulldozing) 385 Arab villages and towns, out of a total of 475.
Commonly, Israeli villages were built on the remaining rubble.

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.

drove an army lorry ( truck) up to the building and escaped before
the detonation of 400 Ib. of explosives; casualties numbered 11 Arabs
and 3 Armenians killed and 23 injured. The Stern Gang claimed
responsibility for the incident.

March 22, 1948. A housing block in Iraq Street in Haifa was blown up

been stationed in Palestine exploded, killing his brother, Rex
Farran.

May11, 1948. A letter bomb addressed to Sir Evelyn Barker, former
Commanding 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 stripped and carried away everything they could, destroying what
they could not take with them.

THE SS PATRIA.

November 25, 1940. In September, 1940, around 3,000 Jewish refugees
from Vienna, Prague and Danzig were attempting to reach Palestine. In
a convoy of four river steamers, they set sail down the Danube and
reached the Romanian port of Tulcea where they transferred to three
Greek cargo ships named Atlantic, Pacific and Milos. Conditions on
board these three ships were horrendous, reminiscent of Japanese hell-
ships later in the war. Eventually the ships reached Palestinian
waters, but the British Colonial Office refused them permission to
land. It was finally decided to deport the refugees to the island of
Mauritius where a special camp was to be built. The three ships were
then brought into Haifa harbour where the liner Patria was berthed.
The refugees were then embarked on the Patria and as the last
passengers from the Atlantic were coming on board, a tremendous
explosion ripped the liner apart. The death toll amounted to 267
refugees killed. The explosion was the work of the Jewish underground
army, the Haganah, who had meant only to damage the ship to prevent
it sailing but had miscalculated the amount of explosives needed to
disable the ship. Many say that this was no miscalculation and was
deliberate murder of Jews by Jews, in an attempt to influence British
immigration policy to Palestine.

A LIGHT UNTO THE NATIONS.

The first act of air piracy in the history of civil aviation was
carried out by Israel, in Dec. 1954, when a civilian Syrian airliner
was forced down in Tel Aviv and its passengers and crew held for
days, despite international condemnation.

In 1968, Israeli commandos blew up 13 civilian airliners at Beirut
airport in Lebanon.

The first deliberate shooting down a civilian airliner was carried
out by Israel, when a Libyan airliner was shot down by Israeli jet
fighters over Sinai, in Feb. 1973, on the direct orders of Israeli
Prime Minister Golda Meir, killing all 107 of its passengers and the
entire French crew.

I much appreciate this history. which i imagine also has another side
of retaliation and such forth. yes every body has their shadow, as all
peoples do likewise.
But we have to remember that not all Jews are Zionist. nor do they all
support such actions. although at the present time they seem to be in
power or have much influence upon them. Those jews on this list do not
support such violence. They in turn do not like to be treatened and some
things weather meaning or not are triggers to such a threat.

According to a recent survey, 86% of American Jews are 'Zionists'. So
I guess you're right - that's not all Jews. You have to ask yourself
what loyalty that 86% can have to the USA.

You don't know that. Where has any single one of them ever said that?
And even if he did, how would you know that it is true?

I question polls and thing they are so often fixed by the way the
question is worded.

Before you joined, i posted a recent statement i had heard by an
israeli Jew that the greatest obsticle to peace were american Jews. and
he went on to say they have little idea of what it is like to be there
as they are not the ones on the 'firing line". By his statement it might
imply that the percentage might be less in Irsreal. They're are quite a
few israeli journalist who do not like what is going on and even one of
its biggest hero pilots has expressed a stand against the treatment of
the palestinians.

i also made the comparison to the IRA which is likewise supported
by americans.

This support though is "safe" as indicated because they are not there
doing the fighting , etc. Out side of financial and possibly lobbying
this 86% ( maybe the poll was taken by a Zionist!) is only from afar.
Your second question has crossed my mind before, yet we could say
the same about the Irish .it is not unusual for minorities to lean in
these directions. Armenians are big here in one part of town for
example.

I for one are more loyal to the ideas of the founders more so than
the land they stood on.
there are not any canidates with the possibility of getting into the
office that are not completely pro Isreal
in fact i am pro Isreal in that i think it is really past the point of
another solution, so a peaceful solution needs to be sought ,I am
against any form of violent expansionism at the expense of its
neighbors. It seems it would be cheaper to just buy the land from those
there over a period of time. This is what alot of the Native american
tribes are doing in this country with the casino money. They are going
to buy back the whole country

the funny thing is that i have had bad runs with them both so if i
say so , i do not say it as they are someone who is my close friend. It
has been a difficult interaction . Johnny i have known maybe 18 years
and have met him in person and we played together back when i lived
downtown on skid row. Paul i have known since i was first on the list
maybe 5 years. I have had more difficult times with him than not but
knowing the type that are inclined toward violent action neither one
strikes me as that. Maybe i am wrong but do not think so!

How did you develop such rage? Were you robbed by a Jew at an early age?
How is it that your whole being is enveloped with this small corner of the
world? I mean this in the sense of proportion, something inimical to a microtonal
musician.

I am really happy that you beat Tintinnus. I had a friend that suffered from
this Aristotelian illness.

best, Johnny
