For decades the use of banned biological weapons during the Nakba was kept hidden in Israel's archives. Recent discoveries have shed light not only on this Zionist war crime, but also the sinister motive behind it.© The Cradle
In September, a
highly revealing academic paper was published exposing the details of a previously hidden operation by Zionist militias during the 1948 Nakba (or "Catastrophe"), in which
chemical and biological weapons were used to poison Palestinians, intervening Arab armies, and the citizens of neighboring states with typhoid, dysentery, malaria, and other diseases.Working by stealth, Zionist militants poured vast quantities of
infectious bacteria into wells and aqueducts providing villages, towns, and cities with water, in direct violation of the
1925 Geneva Protocol, which strictly prohibits "the use of bacteriological methods of warfare."
The local epidemics created by this man-made disaster greatly assisted the forcible conquest of Palestinian territory by armed Jewish militias with their capture made permanent, while hindering the progress of advancing Arab armies.
Biological warfare and the founding of IsraelThe 1948 War has been well-studied, and its impact, chiefly the permanent displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the Nakba still reverberates today. Yet, understanding of the conflict has hitherto been incomplete.
Aside from opaque references to the biological warfare campaign in the diaries and autobiographies of Zionist leaders and militants from that era, and a 2003 academic article,
the use of these illegal substances has never previously been revealed.In an ironic twist of fate, the Zionist biological blitzkrieg was suppressed so successfully that numerous highly incriminating documents referring to the operation's name - "Cast Thy Bread," a Biblical quote from Ecclesiastes 11:1, in which Jews are directed to "cast thy bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again" - slipped past government censors unexpurgated.
Evidently, even they were unaware of this war crime which followed the chemical extermination of millions of Jews, which says a lot.
It turned out that this gap in the historical record was both created and maintained intentionally. As the paper notes, a reference was made in the diaries of Israel's first prime minister David Ben-Gurion two days before war broke out on 15 May, 1948 to a Zionist militant recently spending several thousand dollars on "biological materials." However, this was censored by the Defense Ministry Press when the volumes were published in 1982.
Comment: Whilst it may be true that incidents of bird flu outbreaks may be on the rise - and in no small part thanks to factory farming practices that slowly destroy the health of livestock - it's also true that at least some of these declared outbreaks seem to serve another agenda, which is to cause deadly disruptions to the food supply:
