First Taste ME political violence

Letter to the Boston Globe

 

To the Editor:

 

Because Sasha Issenberg is the reporter that fact-checked public intellectual David Brooks in Boo-Boos in Paradise (Philadelphia magazine, April 2004), I am disappointed that he is spreading the erroneous claim that the "slaying of [Robert Kennedy] gave [the] US a first taste of Mideast terror" (Boston Globe, front page, June 5, 2008).

 

In the early 50s, the Israeli government organized an Egyptian Jewish terrorist cell that undertook false flag firebomb attacks against the U.S. Information Agency libraries in Alexandria and Cairo on July 14, 1954. Only luck or incompetence prevented deaths. Israeli military intelligence called the action Operation Suzannah, and it is generally known as the Lavon Affair.

 

The longstanding Zionist or Israeli predilection for such false flag operations constitutes an important reason why suspecting an Israeli connection to the 9/11 hi-jackings is not unreasonable even though the evidence is slim.
