Whither The Persecution Complex?
Fury as Israel president claims English are 'anti-semitic'
"Shimon Peres said England was "deeply pro-Arab ... and anti-Israeli", adding: "They always worked against us."
The King David Hotel bombing
"The King David Hotel bombing was an attack carried out by the militant right-wing Zionist underground organisation, the Irgun, on the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946. The hotel was the site of the central offices of the British Mandatory authorities of Palestine, the Secretariat of the Government of Palestine and Headquarters of the British Forces in Palestine and Transjordan. The attack was the deadliest directed at the British during the Mandate era (1920–1948) and more people were killed than by any bombing carried out in the subsequent Arab-Israeli conflict. The event has been called by British authorities , major international publications including the New York Times, and academics as a terrorist attack aimed at civilians. The New York Times even linked the Haganah paramilitary group to the Irgun attacks. Israel currently denies any wrongdoing claiming civilian deaths were incidental.
Israel Classifies its Past as Top Secret: An Analysis
"A number of years ago Israel applied its law that required the government archives to be opened for public review and research following a thirty year waiting period for political affairs and fifty years for military affairs. This brought many of the government documents referring to seminal years of 1947 and 1948 into the open. The result was a serious, evidence based, revision of the founding legends of Israel. In other words, the state lost momentary control of its own history. The result undermined the nation’s mythic self-image amongst observers outside of Israel and caused significant unease within the country."
"That being the case, Israel’s present Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has extended for an additional twenty years the period during which government archives can remain closed."
