When a Palestinian blows himself and surrounding civilians it gets everyone's attention and it should. When Israel uses its military to demolish houses and its Mossad to torture Arab detainees, well, HO-HUM. The reason that Israel is so expert at terrorism is their history: Israeli terrorists don't always go to jail, they become Prime Ministers.
One such Israeli hero helped kill more than 300 Arab civilians between 1937-39 by machine-gunning passing buses and bombing open air market places. One day they rolled an oil drum laden with explosives downhill into a bus stop in Haifa, killing 37 men, women and children.
This man became co-leader of the terrorist Stern Gang who had begun by killing some 300 British policemen and soldiers. There's more but let me save the best for last:
In April, 1948, he and his "patriots" carried out a horrific massacre of Deir Yassin, a neutral town of unfortunate non-combatants. However, THIS IS THE MOST GLARING EXAMPLE: He planned in July, 1948 to kill the UN peace mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte. Stern Gang gunmen with his express permission halted a convoy bearing Bernadotte at a Jerusalem roadblock wearing Israeli uniforms. As the mediators offered ID papers, an armed Israeli poked his Sten gun thru the car window firing a long burst killing the Count on the spot.
Shocking? Nahhh! The name of the terrorist-patriot-Stern Gang Leader: Yitzhak Shamir, later Prime Minister in the '80's. And now you know the rest of the story! Al
