What Are Symptoms of Israeli Intrigue?
The (So-Called) Lavon Affair
Talks between Britain and Egypt had first begun on April 17,
1953, but soon sputtered to a halt over such issues as the rate of withdrawal of
the [80,000] British troops and the conditions under which they might return [to
Suez].
...
Israel was distressed at the prospect of the withdrawal negotiations succeeding.
It would mean that the protective shield of British troops along the [Suez]
canal between Israel's and Egypt's major forces would be withdrawn...That was
not a prospect that the struggling Jewish nation relished. To prevent it, Aman,
Israel Military Intelligence, concocted a devious scheme - without informing
(Israeli Prime Minister Moshe) Sharett - to launch a secret operation against
American and British installations in Egypt. The aim was to make the sabotage
appear the work of Egyptian fanatics...
(During the second week of July, 1954, Israeli spook Avri) Elad's cell of four
agents firebombed U.S. cultural and information centers in Cairo and
Alexandria...
Elad, pleased with the attacks, ordered a new round on July 23...[Egyptian]
police and firemen patrolled the streets, alert for trouble from the religious
fanatics of the Moslem Brotherhood, the Communists and other foes of the regime.
Incendiary devices were successfully planted by the Israeli saboteurs in Cairo's
main railway station and at the entrances of two cinemas. Two other cinemas,
both British-owned, were targeted for Alexandria.
...
The (so-called) Lavon Affair was never adequately resolved. Details of the
shoddy operation only began leaking in public in the winter of 1959, causing an
uproar. The affair struck deep into Israel's sense of itself, of its role in the
world, and of the precarious balance of power between civilians and the military
in a democracy.

The Israeli Attack on the U.S.S. Liberty
At 0800 hrs, 8 June, 1967, eight Israeli recon flights flew over
'Liberty,' which was flying a large American flag. At 1400 hrs, waves of
low-flying Israeli Mystere and Mirage-III fighter-bombers repeatedly attacked
the American vessel with rockets, napalm, and cannon.
The Israeli attacks killed 34 U.S. seamen and wounded 171 out of a crew of 297,
the worst loss of American naval personnel from hostile action since World War
II.
