The BBC has consistently reflected a Zionist narrative since the beginning of the colonisation of Palestine.
During the British Mandate, acts of Jewish terrorism against British authorities were rarely reported objectively.
Among those responsible for such acts were:
•Menachem Begin, leader of the Irgun (a Zionist paramilitary organisation), and later Prime Minister of Israel.
•Yitzhak Shamir, leader of the Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang), another terrorist organisation, and later also an Israeli Prime Minister.
Both groups were responsible for attacks against British officials and Palestinian civilians during the Mandate period.
historical records from the British Mandate of Palestine (1920–1948) show that hundreds of British soldiers, policemen, and officials were killed or injured in attacks carried out by Zionist paramilitary groups such as the Irgun (Etzel) and the Lehi (Stern Gang).
Here are some of the most documented facts:
•Between 1945 and 1948, when Zionist militancy intensified, around 250–300 British personnel were killed in violent attacks by these groups.
•The Irgun, under Menachem Begin, targeted British police stations, railways, and military installations.
•The Lehi, led by Yitzhak Shamir and others, carried out assassinations, including the murder of Lord Moyne, the British Minister Resident in the Middle East, in Cairo (1944).
•One of the most notorious attacks was the King David Hotel bombing (Jerusalem, 1946), organised by the Irgun, which killed 91 people, including 28 British citizens, along with Arabs and Jews.
These groups were classified as terrorist organisations by the British authorities, but later their leaders became Prime Ministers of Israel — a striking irony in the historical narrative.
