HISTORICAL FLASHBACK
The Lavon Affair
In the early 1950s, agents of an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt
planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities.
They left behind "evidence" implicating the Arabs as the culprits.
The ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated
prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the
bombers. This led to a round-up of the entire ring.
Why would our Jewish friends do something like this to their
greatest benefactor?
The story begins when the United States began pressuring the British
to withdraw from the Suez Canal and leave Egypt, something the
U.K. eventually agreed to do. Israel was strongly opposed to British
withdrawal, as it feared this would remove a check on Egyptian
President Gamal Abdul Nasser in his defense of Arab interests against
the Zionist menace. But diplomatic methods failed to sway the British.
And so, in the summer of 1954 Colonel Benyamin Gibli, the chief of
Israel's army intelligence, intiated Operation Susannah in order to
reverse that decision. The plan called for bombing British and American
facilities in Egypt, with the intent that they would be attributed to the
Egyptian government, to show what a "threat" it posed.
Operatives had been recruited several years before, when the Israeli
intelligence officer Avram Dar, alias John Darling, arrived in Cairo under
a British cover. The recruits came from the local Jewish population and
were trained in the techniques of covert terror operations.
On July 2 they struck. A post office in Alexandria was firebombed,
and on July 14 the U.S. Information Agency libraries in Alexandria
and Cairo, as well as a British-owned theater, were also bombed.
The bombs themselves were homemade, consisting of bags containing
acid placed over nitroglycerine. They were inserted into books and
placed on the shelves of the libraries just before closing time. Several
hours later, as the acid ate through the bags, the bombs exploded.
When one bomb ignited prematurely in his pocket, Egyptian authorities
arrested suspect Robert Dassa. In searching his apartment, they found
incriminating evidence and the names of his accomplices in the operation.
Several suspects were arrested, including Egyptian Jews and undercover
Israelis, who admitted their roles in the plot, which had been authorized
at the highest levels of the Zionist entity.
Israeli authorities reacted to the incident with vociferous denials and
charges of "anti-Semitism." But the fact that the Jewish state was behind
the bombings could not be concealed, and in 1960 Israel's Defense
Minister Pinhas Lavon was brought down by the scandal, along with
the entire Israeli government.
FOOTNOTE: This is not the only time the Jewish entity has attacked the United
States and tried to blame the Arabs for their own treachery. During the 1967 Mideast
war, the Israelis attempted to sink a U.S. intelligence-gathering ship, the USS Liberty,
in a vicious, unprovoked, premeditated attack, which left 34 American servicemen
dead and another 171 badly wounded and maimed for life. The Jews intended to
blame the Egyptians for the attack, thus tricking the U.S. into war against that
Arab country. Miraculously, the unprotected vessel survived the assault, and the
true story of this treacherous attack by America's special pet in the Middle East
eventually emerged.
