In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely (oops), allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led to the round up of an Israeli spy ring.
Some of the spies were from Israel, while others were recruited from the local Jewish population. Israel responded to the scandal with claims in the media that there was no spy ring, that it was all a hoax perpetrated by "anti-Semites". But as the public trial progressed, it was evident that Israel had indeed been behind the bombing. Eventually, Israeli's Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon was brought down by the scandal, although it appears that he was himself the victim of a frame-up by the real authors of the bombing project, code named "Operation Susannah."
Is it antisemitic of me to ask this?

So when the "five dancing Israeli Mossad agents" were so easily let go after we PROVED they had foreknowledge and possibly something to do with the attacks, why was there no public outcry?
This is not new, Israelis have been completing false flag operations and blaming it on Arabs to provoke American military reaction since they formed their state.

Leogirl..yes, that incident was 52 years ago, and that is why I refer to it as history. Also note that the latest false flag operation was only 5 years ago. That my friend, is my point.

Prittykitty...I wish I could get over it, but this is the real world and we need to stop the needless wars and killings of innocent. It is our duty as civilized people.

travis...sorry, I guess in hindsight I should have been clearer. Yes, I am saying that I think that this incident was not the only incident of it's kind.
It is a fact that Israel has a prior history of setting off bombs with the intent to blame Arabs for them.
This is not the only example of a "False Flag" operation designed to trick the United States into attacking Israel's enemies. According to Victor Ostrovsky, a Mossad defector now living in Canada, Ronald Reagan was tricked into bombing Libya by means of a radio transmitter smuggled into Tripoli by the Mossad, which broadcast messages designed to fool the United States into thinking Libya was about to launch a massive terror attack on the west. On the basis of this fake evidence, the US bombed Libya, killing Khadaffi's daughter.
The Jews of Iraq is a story by a Jewish writer revealing yet another false flag operation where Israelis used bombs and planted the blame on Arabs.
Do a bit of research and you'll agree.

John..I think when Israeli Mossad agents are busted planting bombs and leaving behind fake evidence that Arabs did it IS as it appears. Israeli Mossad untrustworthy? Ya think? Their motto is "by deception, we shall do war." Seriously. They should really consider changing that.

SVern...thanks for the timeline, I will look into each of them seperatly. I wont be shocked if some can be linked back to Israel though. I am always glad to hear when others disagree and thank you for your answer.

I'm not really sure what your point is. According to your story, in 1954 Israel was apparently caught trying to bomb some interests that clearly belonged to their enemies and attempted to implicate another group of enemies in the process.
Are you trying to espouse some wild conspiracy theory that the huge number of suicide bombs paid for by Hamas, Al Qieda, and other terrorist organizations is really some sort of twisted Israeli plot to make Arabs look bad?

Thank you for this. I am still reading about it. This does not negate your original statement, "Should we learn from history or ignore it?" This does not change the fact that bin Laden planned organized, and distributed funding for 9/11. He has not tried to hide this. I think this is much more telling. Sadams behavior and actions also seem more relevant but I will study Operation Susannah also.

If you are trying to link this to 9-11, this is even more circumstantial evidence than most of the theories I have heard, even the official story...
I do however believe that we should learn from history, but the lesson to be learned from this incident is not that all Israelis are untrustworthy, but that not everything is as it appears.

You asked two questions, with a long statement of an incident in between. Let me take it apart and answer it.
#1. Should we Learn from history or ignore it?
We should learn from history and never forget or ignore it.
#2 Is it antiSemitic of me to ask this?
Considering there is a long paragraph of history in between the two questions, and the fact that the paragraph does not contain a question, I have to conclude that you are asking if it is anti-Semitic of you to ask if we should learn from history or ignore it. And in that case, I would say no, it is not anti-semitic of you to ask that question.

We need and should learn from history. what has happened will happen again, and will be worst. we need to be learn from our mistakes, so we are ready for when the time is ours.
on the "Is it antisemitic of me to ask this?" point, is it heck. for it to be antisemitic, Israel would have to be a jewish state, doing nothing wrong. Well, is israel? no and no! it is a zionist state, a racist state. to speak out against what israel is doing is our role in countries that support, fund and arm israel.

rant rant rant
this is in a way complimentary and insulting
on the one hand you accuse Jews perpetrating acts of terrorism in order for others to fight their wars. On the other you imply that Muslims are incapable of dueing such an act and it can only be those sneaky Jews.
I bet you believe that 9/11 was done by the Mosad too right???
by the way where did you do your reasearch Islamtruths.org???

This is a common practice in intelligence operations that US,Britain,Arabs,Japan,Chinese and Russia has used, to name a few. Spies will be spies hopefully the Israeli's are better at it now.

yes to the first question and no to the second
it could also be prudent to forget some things in history as bringing them up creates social and cultural divides and history has often been proven to be very unreliable IE a matter of the observers opinion/viewpoint

If we don't learn from history, we will be doomed to repeat our same mistakes. Life is a learning experience, and it is our moral obligation to learn from the decisions and choices we make. If we can't learn from our past, then we should be forced to repeat it until we can get it right.

Yes we need to learn from history – or we’ll repeat the same mistakes. The problem is learning the right lessons
"It antiSemitic of me to ask this?: No. However, you have two questions & I’ll only get credit for one :-(
