Hotel bombing "probably a terrorist act"
Startling new information has come to light on one of the least notorious acts of terrorism of the twentieth century, according to an Israeli historian.
The bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946, which killed 28 Britons, 17 Jews and 46 persons of lesser significance, has traditionally been attributed to Irgun, a Jewish organisation dedicated to militant anti-holocaustism.
However, new revelations revealed by historian Yeshua Kanaanyahu reveal that the bombing may not have been an act of freedom-fighting at all.
"My researches indicate that the bombing was probably a terrorist act, very likely by Hizbullah in an effort to discredit the then future Israeli prime minister, Menachem Begin," Mr Kanaanyahu said.
Hizbullah is a militant Muslim organisation which is believed to have received funding from Arab states. The bombers at the King David Hotel were dressed as Arabs.
The British Minister of Tolerance, Multiculturalism and Interracial Huggery, Phillip Melanistan, welcomed the revelations, saying that the new information "explained much that was mysterious" about the terroristic act of terror.
"One of the most controversial aspects of the bombing was the so-called failure of the British authorities to evacuate the hotel despite the alleged fact that a warning had supposedly been given," he said.
"It now seems obvious, that, as is traditional in cases of terrorism by radical Islamofascist terrorist organisations, there may have been issues of faulty intelligence around the warning, or even no warning at all."
Britain's special relationship with the United States had also been in its infancy in 1946, resulting in possible confusion among the British intelligence services due to lack of guidance from the Pentagon, Mr Melanistan said.
