The former
Union Minister of India, Mani Shankar Aiyer takes a look at the origin and
evolution of Israeli terrorism since the late 19th century.
The Zionist
movement that spawned terrorism for the realisation of their dream of a home
land took shape towards the beginning of the 20th century and gained momentum
by 1917 in the form of Balfour Declaration which envisaged a home land for the
Jews in Palestine. The movement was divided in two ideology. One believed in
realising the dream of getting a homeland with the imperial support of Britain
while the other insisted that they could win their homeland by committing acts
of terror.
The terrorist
group Lehi was formed. Hamaas was their mouthpiece. Hamaas means resistance.
Lehi was led by Abraham Sterm who later broke away to form his own gang called
Stern Gang. Some prominent members of this terrorist gang were Menachem Begin,
Yigal Allon, Moshe Dayan and Itzhak Shamir. Menachem and Yigal Allon became
Prime Ministers of Israel while Moshe Dayan became defence minister and, Itzhak
Shamir became the speaker of Israeli Knesset (Parliament). Jabotinsky believed terrorism
and founded a terrorist organisation caed Irgun.
This
terrorist organisation conducted all the terror acts that are the mark of
today's Muslim terrorist organisations. They bombed railway tracks, attacked
police, killed civilians who opposed them, they used mines and killed British
leaders and other politicians who did not toe their line. They killed the
colonial secretary Lord Moyne in 1944, blew up David Hotel in Jerusalem 1946
and assassinated the UN mediator Count Bernadotte in 1948.
After
Israel was established, they did not rest with it and harboured dreams of
establishing Greater Israel by driving out all Palestinians from the region.
Therefore, they unleashed a reign of terror on the Palestinians and gradually
occupied the territory inhabited by the Palestinians for ages. They built
illegal settlements in Gaza strip and brought Jewish settlers to this region.
Over the years Gaza was reduced in a strip 46 kilometre long and 6 to 12
kilometres wide. Still they want to drive all the Palestinians out of Gaza and
occupy the entire land.
Therefore,
the Zionists are the ones who introduced terrorism and the terrorists became
the prime ministers and defence ministers of Israel. They created Muslim
terrorist organisations like Al Qaida and ISIS to achieve their political and
economic objectives.

Israel
Hamas Conflict
It is
ironic that Israel is calling on the world to condemn Hamas terrorism when
Zionist terrorism, involving several future Prime Ministers of Israel, was at
the heart of the Zionist movement from at least the early 1940s.
Even more
ironically, its media voice was a newspaper called Hamaas, meaning
“Resistance” in both Arabic and Hebrew. It was the mouthpiece of the terrorist
group Lehi (a Hebrew acronym for Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) led by Abraham
Stern whose later breakaway faction came to be called the Stern Gang.
Perhaps the most notorious member of the Stern Gang was Menachem Begin,
destined to become Prime Minister of Israel (1977-1983).
The
terrorist character of the Zionist Movement had its origins in what was
initially a sharp division of opinion and strategy between the London-based
Chaim Weizmann, representing the World Zionist Congress, and the fiery,
extremist Polish immigrant into Palestine, Vladimir Jabotinsky. (AP)

The Zionist
terrorists sought and obtained the collaboration of Haganah, the official armed
wing of the Zionist forces, described by Malcolm MacDonald, the British
Colonial Secretary in the late 1930s, as “a Jewish army” designed to secure
“eventual Jewish military supremacy in Palestine”. They also obtained the
cooperation and collaboration of Palmach, a wing comprising the “crack forces”
of Haganah, composed mainly of “Jews from the east who looked and spoke like
Arabs”, and specially trained for terrorism, sabotage and ruthless
assassination.
Palmach’s numbers included Yigal Allon,
another future PM of Israel, the infamous Moshe Dayan, future Defence Minister
of the country, as well as Itzhak Shamir, a future Speaker of the Israeli
Knesset. These groups were conjoined with the most determined terrorist group
of all, Irgun Zvai Leumi (National Military Organisation, generally known as
“Irgun”), the terrorist wing of the Revisionist Party that opposed the Jewish
Agency that was deemed by the British Mandatory authorities to be the majority
representative of the Yishuv (Hebrew for the Jewish immigrants into Palestine).
In the final stages of the struggle for the State of Israel, the activities of
these groups were coordinated by Tenuat Hameri Ha’ivri (Jewish Resistance
Movement), the “single agency which would control the common fight”.
This was
done with the blessings of the hitherto non-violent Jewish Agency run by David
Ben-Gurion, the first PM, and Golda Meir, the second PM of Israel.
The
terrorist character of the Zionist Movement had its origins in what was
initially a sharp division of opinion and strategy between the London-based
Chaim Weizmann, representing the World Zionist Congress, and the fiery,
extremist Polish immigrant into Palestine, Vladimir Jabotinsky. It was Weizmann
who, along with Rothschild, had squeezed out of the British Government the
Balfour Declaration of 1917 which first envisaged a “homeland “ for the Jews in
Palestine.
Within
Palestine, Weizmann was represented by Ben-Gurion, who headed the Jewish
Agency. They were bitterly opposed by the Revisionist Party founded by the
Polish Jabotinsky, who had witnessed three million Jews suffer horribly in
Poland’s repeated anti-Semitic pogroms. While Weizmann and Ben-Gurion chose to
ride on the shoulders of British imperialism to realise a Jewish state,
Jabotinsky and his Revisionists insisted that it was through terrorism,
fighting in the streets, that Israel would be won. So, Jabotinsky founded Irgun
and resorted to acts of unbridled violence. While Ben-Gurion and Jabotinsky
were on opposite sides through the 1920s and ‘30s, later, especially during and
after WWII, disillusioned with Britain’s hesitation in relinquishing its League
of Nations mandate over Palestine and unwillingness to entrust Palestine wholly
to the Jews, the Jewish Agency came to collaborate with the terrorists to bring
closer their common dream of Israel.
Their acts
of terror included: Laying mines; stocking and using several hundred explosive
devices, including what we now call IED; and blowing up railway lines, railway
bridges, railway stations, rail depots, goods yards, loco sheds, and railway
factories. Sabotaging ports was their speciality. They also attached limpet
mines to police launches and ambushed lorries carrying government armaments.
They made such devastating use of home-made mortars that the police took to calling
them “V3s” in remembrance of the V1s and V2s that Hitler had used in his
blitzkrieg against London, Coventry, and other British cities. They also
kidnapped Arab and British policemen and used them as hostages or shot them
dead. They resorted to hijacking convoys carrying cash for banks and looted
armouries of the police and army, killing without mercy the accompanying
guards. On November 6, 1944, the former Colonial Secretary Lord Moyne was shot
by Lehi terrorists and died the same evening, infuriating Churchill, the
staunchest supporter of Zionist immigration into Palestine. The most dramatic
of these acts of terror, however, was the blowing up of the King David Hotel in
Jerusalem in July 1946 that housed the Mandate’s secretariat and the headquarters
of the army. This was followed by the assassination of the UN mediator, Count
Bernadotte, in September 1948.
The victims
of Zionist terror included countless Arabs, numerous Jewish dissidents or rival
Jewish terrorists, British cops and soldiers, and nameless innocents.
Thus was
Israel born out of terrorism and as the massacre at Deir Yassin on April 10,
1948, orchestrated by Menachem Begin showed, when Israel became a State by UN
decree, its principal national security plank was terrorising the Palestinians
to drive them out of their homesteads as also the Arabs who could not or would
not flee Israel. Such terrorising became — and has remained — the key element
in its policies towards Palestinians, whether living inside Israel or in the
Occupied Territories of the West Bank or in the Gaza Strip.
That is why
Israel has resolutely refused to implement the UN’s 1967 “Land for Peace”
resolution, which envisaged an independent Palestine state living in harmony
alongside Israel. Israel also failed to sincerely implement the 1993 Oslo
Accord and the White House Rose Garden accord of the same year, to both of
which Yasser Arafat committed himself. This, in turn, sparked a series of
intifadas in the West Bank, especially after Arafat’s death in 2004. In the
face of the apparent capitulation of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah,
Hamas won the popular vote in Gaza. Initially determined to drive Israel into
the Mediterranean, Hamas has since moderated its position to accept a
“two-state” solution that Israel continues to deny.
Thus has
Israeli terrorism spawned ever-escalating Palestinian terrorism. Peace can come
only through dialogue, not by increasing but de-escalating violence, and thus
ensuring justice for all.
