Lavon Affair | A Part of History You Were Never Taught
The Lavon Affair was a false flag operation carried out by Israel in Egypt in 1954.
Israel was concerned about the rise of Egyptian nationalism under President Gamal Abdel Nasser and feared the strengthening ties between Egypt and Western powers, especially the U.S.
So Israel came up with a plan.
The operation was codenamed ‘Operation Susannah’ or as it is commonly referred to now, ‘Lavon Affair.’
Israeli military intelligence recruited Egyptian Jews and undercover Israeli agents to orchestrate a series of bombings targeting American and British-owned institutions in Egypt.
The goal was to blame the attacks on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian communists, or local nationalists and damage relations between Egypt and the Western powers, particularly the U.S. and the UK.
During the month of July in 1954, the operatives carried out a series of bombings targeting American and British-owned civilian facilities in Cairo and Alexandria.
The targets included:
- Cinemas
- Libraries
- American educational centers
- Post Offices
On July 2nd, the agents detonated bombs at a post office in Alexandria.
On July 14th, they bombed the libraries of the U.S. Information Agency in Alexandria and Cairo, and a British-owned theater.
The homemade bombs, consisting of bags containing acid placed over nitroglycerine, were inserted into books and placed on the shelves of the libraries just before closing time.
Several hours later, as the acid ate through the bags, the bombs exploded.
On July 23rd, an incendiary bomb went off in the pocket of one of the agents outside the British-owned theater in Alexandria.
On October 5th, 1954, Egypt announced the arrest of a “13-man spy ring.”
Egypt concluded that the operation was ordered by the Israeli Secretary of Defense, Pinchas Lavon, hence the name “Lavon Affair.”
The 13 agents consisted of Egyptian Jews and undercover Israelis.
2 were acquitted.
1 of the Israeli agents, Max Binnet, committed suicide on arrest.
1 committed suicide in prison.
2 were executed.
The rest were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
The Lavon Affair meant that Israel lost significant standing and credibility in its relations with the U.S. and the UK, which took years to repair.
In 2005, Israel publicly honored the surviving spies by presenting them each with a certificate of appreciation for their efforts on behalf of the state, ending decades of official denial by Israel that the operation ever took place.
The Lavon Affair serves as proof that false flag operations are not off the table when it comes to Israel.Post vertalen

In verband hiermee, zou ik de volgende affaire willen vermelden:
Elf atleten en officials van de Israëlische ploeg werden in de nacht van 4 op 5 september 1972 gegijzeld in hun appartement in het olympisch dorp door leden van de Palestijnse terreurbeweging Zwarte September, zo luidt het officiële narratief. De reddingsoperatie liep uit op een mislukking wegens slechte voorbereiding, waarbij alle elf Israëliërs de dood vonden.
Zie: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloedbad_van_München
Dit roept bij mij de onderstaande vragen op, gezien de reputatie van Israël:
(1) Waarom zou de zelfbenoemde joodse staat Israël niet betrokken bij het mislukken
van de reddingspoging en een poging doen deze mislukking in de schoenen van
de West-Duitse politie te schuiven? Past in het gecultiveerd slachtofferschap
van de zelfbenoemde zionistische staat Israël.
(2) Waarom zou de Israëlische geheime dienst [Mossad] zich niet vermomd hebben als
leden van Zwarte September, en zelf de gijzelingsactie in touw hebben gezet om
Palestijnen in een kwaad daglicht te stellen?
Graag zou ik vernemen of er ooit grondig en zorgvuldig onderzoek is verricht naar de rol in deze affaire van de zelfbenoemde joodse staat Israël.
