Who are the Terrorists?

When on the 3rd October 1924, Hussein abdicated and went into exile in Cyprus, initial Palestinian resistance to the Mandate took the form of non-cooperation with the occupying British but as Britain allowed more and more Jews into Palestine non- cooperation turned into demonstration.

The first Palestine riots under British rule took place some time before they had the Mandate. They were sparked off by the arrival in 1919 and 1920 of the 10,000-plus Jewish immigrants from Russia.

1929 saw the first big explosion of anti-Zionist Palestine rage.

It is certain that without the British presence Zionism could not have entrenched itself in Palestine. On their own the Palestinians could have pushed the Zionists out.

When Britain handed the problem of what to do about Palestine to the infant United Nations there were two Jewish terrorist organisations in the Holy Land. The NMO and the Stern Gang, whose head was Yitzhak Shamir who specialised in assassination.

Down the years that followed Zionism indignantly denied the Stern Gang's dealings with Germany and Mussolini's Fascists and was very successful in getting the truth about the episode suppressed. Goys who tried to tell the truth were denounced as being rabidly "anti-Semitic".

The announcement to the world that Zionism's terrorists were in business came in the form of the assassination in Cairo on the 6th November 1944 of Lord Moyne, Britain's Resident Minister in the Middle East.

On the 9th April 1948 the deliberate massacre at Deir Yassin of 254 Palestinians, women, children and old men by the Jews was designed to create fear amongst the Palestinians. On the 29th November of the previous year, 1947, the UN General Assembly on a rigged vote had passed a resolution to partition Palestine. The original intention was the creation of an Arab State and a Jewish State and would come into effect when the British Mandate expired at midnight on the 15th May 1948.

The UN was unable to implement the partition resolution and it was vitiated. As a consequence the question of what to do about Palestine was still without an answer.That however was of no concern to the Jews in Palestine. They were intending to declare unilaterally the coming into being of their state on the 15th May. In other words they were intending to proceed as though the participation plan had not been vitiated.

By April 1948 as a result of Jewish immigration, legal and illegal, nearly two-thirds of the inhabitants of what had become Greater Jerusalem were Jewish. After the Balfour Declaration the Zionists had given priority to building up their numbers in Jerusalem, Ben Gurion's intention was to seize all of Jerusalem as soon as possible after the Jewish State came into being then to say to the world "there is no point in discussing the matter of Jerusalem, we Jews now control all of it."

To prevent such a Zionist fait accompli the Palestinian Resistance fighters under Abdul Khadir Husseini had set up defensive positions around Jerusalem. In December 1947 following the UN's rigged vote at the UN on the partition, the news of Abdul Khadir's return to his native Palestine had inspired the Palestinian masses to believe for the first time in nearly a decade that their cause was not a lost one .

Abdul Khadir had returned in secret because he had been banned from returning by the British. He had returned to lead the resistance organisation of his exiled cousin Haj Amin Husseini , the Mufti, the banished Haj Amin was also head of the Arab higher committee.

Abdul Khadir was capable of reading the Jewish mind. He had warned the Arab league that Kastel would be the first objective of Jewish forces when they made their push to capture and control all of Jerusalem.

He believed that, had the Arab States through the Arab League armed the Palestinians to enable them to conduct their own struggle in a serious way, the Jews would not have had the upper hand in Palestine. As it happened the Arab League was not willing to arm the Palestinians and the prospect of the Palestinians remaining in control of their own destiny died when Abdul Khadir was killed at Kastel, after that they were at the mercy of the League. It was working against popular sentiment through the Arab world to the script written for it by Britain which required the Arab League as the umbrella institution of the Arab States to prevent the Palestinian resistance movement from becoming a serious factor in a very dangerous situation.

The reason the British gave for their insistence for the Arab League to not arm Palestine's own resistance movement was Haj Husseini's wartime relationship with Hitler, and, more particularly, because his cousin Abdul Khadir and some of his lieutenants had had military training in Germany.

Behind closed doors the British argument to the Arab League came down to this in the wake of the Nazi Holocaust and given the support Zionism was enjoying because of it - in America especially - there would be little sympathy for the cause of the Arabs in Palestine because they were led by Hitler's collaborators.

It was an argument the Arab League accepted mainly because the Arabs were in desparate need of Britain's good will and assistance.

The Zionists were the first to turn to terrorism.

Abdul Khadir had believed it was important that only the Zionists be seen and labelled as terrorists. He had wanted his Palestinians to be seen and engaged in a conventional and clean fight for their homeland and their rights.

It was only after a wave of Zionist terror bombings that Abdul Khadir ordered they should reply in kind.

After Britain dumped the problem of what to do about Palestine into the lap of the United Nations Zionist terrorism on the ground in the Holy Land was matched by a Zionist campaign of intimidation and threats designed to bend the world body to Jewish wishes.
