They had their own homeland in an area that they wanted, why did they feel the need to attack?
What they wanted then, is the same as what they want now.
Jerusalem. And all of it.
They'd rather knock it down than share with Palestinians.
Non.
The Russian Anarchists and Communists were using terrorism in the 1800s, Serb Nationalists were using terrorism in the 1910s, 20s and 30s, The Irish were using Terrorism, well, forever really, the Italians used it in the 1800s and 1900s, state sponsored terrorism was used by the Chinese (see Boxers etc), the arabs in 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, Sudeten Germans used it in 1930s, as did the Spanish in the 1930s, everybody and their dog used it in the 1940s, from Stalin to Tito, Churchill to Roosevelt, Chang Kai-shek to Mao, Hitler to the Ukrainians and Poles and French and Dutch and Keren and so on and so on.
I think it would be more serious a) if you got the year right, b) if you also mentioned the arab terrorism of the 1920s and 1930s and 1940s. Contextualise.
Edit:
So let me get this right.
You don't count the arab bombings, murders and terror of the 1920s, 30s, 40s etc because . . . ?
Oh, I get it, they were perpetrated by arabs, and we all know that in your world only Jews can do wrong! Sad, really sad.
But the answer to your question is still as above, No, modern terrorism was alive and well across the globe before the King David Hotel bombing. Perhaps you should also ask about the British state terrorism at the time, Oh, but you can't can you, they were not Jews.
the bombing was a truly awful act, British, arabs and jews died in equal numbers, the victims should not be forgotten. violence should never be celebrated for it's own sake.
'the british use of concentration camps in Dutch south africa was that'.... ha that's actually a classic example of how a state fights terrorism. it's called interment, much as you'd like to draw similarities with nazi death camps it's an utter fail.
terrorism is as old as human conflict.
Yes. The Jews has a long history of committing acts of terror. The hotel bombing was just one act in a long series.
Good afternoon Ben,
How can i take your question seriously when you did not get the date of the bombing right, it happened in 1946!
No, the british use of concentration camps in Dutch south africa was that !
Ben you're asking a serious question and i would give a serious answer "YES"
zionist jews invented terrorism..
next question please
No
Would you say the Jewish bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1948 was the birth of modern terrorism?
Please only answer if you know about the event, this is a serious question.
