Mainstream media outlets repeat, ‘Hamas, a terrorist organisation designated by the US and other western governments.’ Tagged to that description is a daily reminder of the brutality of Hamas’ attack on October 7 and the taking of over 200 hostages. Intimidated journalists and ill-informed politicians then promote the Israeli message that Hamas is a monster without precedent and must be destroyed.

Examination of the terrorist colonisation of Palestine could start in the 1940s when the Jewish Stern gang attacked British personnel, airfields, railway yards and other Palestinian installations. They assassinated British officials overseas and sought alliance with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany.

Leader of the Stern gang, Yitzhak Shamir became Prime Minister of Israel, 1983-84 and 1986-90.

The Jewish Irgun gang is remembered for the July 22 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, headquarters of the British army and of the Palestinian administration. Ninety-one people were killed. On April 9 1948, Irgun and Stern gangs murdered over one hundred residents of the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin. An Israeli intelligence officer reported the massacre was indiscriminate, no one was spared.

Leader of Irgun terrorists, Menachem Begin, became Prime Minister of Israel, 1977 to 1983.

Convenient binary analyses of history, those which depict good nations against bad, saving victim Israel from aggressive Hamas, supporting honourable western democracies against the other, are inaccurate and deceitful. The latest dangerous deceit promotes the view that Hamas fighters from Gaza are terrorists without precedent.

The checkered history of US-armed Israel, let alone accounts of the unbelievable terror of Israel’s bloody war against the children of Gaza, challenges those who prefer to only demonize Hamas.
