Another dive into history.

The untold history of the Israel Defense Forces | The Big Picture


Before the formation of the Israel Defense Forces in 1948, there were three underground Zionist militias - The Haganah, the Irgun and the Lehi.

They differed in tactics and beliefs, and at times fought with each other - but together they terrorised Palestinian villages and executed attacks and bombings against the British to force them to give up control of the land. They blew up hotels in Jerusalem, embassies in Europe and assassinated a UN mediator.

After Israel was officiated as a state - the three militias would create the IDF - and their leaders would go on to form Israel’s government, become politicians, ambassadors and Prime Ministers. And their dark history would be forgotten.

Israel itself was founded on terrorism. The (precursor of the) IDF even 'invented' the truck bomb.
Zionist terrorism against the British occupation is what led to the 1947 UN partition plan with 55% of the land allocated to the Zionists.



No wonder Israel fights so hard against Palestinian resistance to the occupation.

Unable to reach a settlement the UK withdrew from Palestine shortly after on May 15th 1948, washing their hands off the problem and let the local population fight it out in civil war. (by January 1948 an estimated 1,500 Palestinians and 400 Jews were killed in the fighting)

Ben Gurion then created the IDF and organized the Nakba in 1948 through plan Dalet

I was always told the Arab states started the war against Israel right at its creation and lost in 1948 which led to the Nakba....  Another lie.

"By the time Israel unilaterally declared itself estate on the 14th of May 1948 more than 200 Palestinian Villages had been emptied it's people fleeing at gunpoint or in fear from the stories of massacres that happened in towns nearby. By the 15th of May more than 750,000 Palestinians had been made refugees never to return to their homes again." (15th of may is Israeli independence day)

The Arab states invaded because of the Nakba, but couldn't do much against the combined UK trained and outfitted Zionist militias.

UN statement on September 18th 1948 by UN Secretary General Bernadet



He was assassinated by 4 Lei operatives the day before his statement was published. Even though the Lei operatives were initially apprehended, Lei was pardoned for their actions and formed the Herut (Freedom) party which in 1973 joined forces with former Hagana commander Ariel Chiron to form the Likud party. (Netanyahu presiding today)

Israel was founded on terror assassinations and ethnic cleansing which it still carries out today. Netanyahu's Likud party is rooted in terrorism.
Palestinians have been resisting colonization / occupation since the early 1900's.

History is repeating itself, the same is happening in Northern Gaza now as was happening in 1948 in Palestine.
