Next time you read a lecture from one of the finest from the Independent or the London Guardian on Israel and flotillas it might be worth reminding them of this piece of information:- 'UK spies blew up ships to keep Jews from Palestine'
The stories describe the agency's exploits in World War I and World War II, and contain some sensitive revelations. They include an account of Operation Embarrass, in which British agents blew up ships to deter postwar Jewish refugees from sailing to Palestine, then under British control.
Nice people indeed.
Hi blankpages!
ReplyDeleteRegarding this post, there's a ton of information about the disgusting British conduct toward the Jews in a book The rape of palestine by William Ziff. Originally published in 1938, it was banned by the British and has only recently been republished.
Absolute must-read.
