The Lavon Affair was a real Israeli false-flag operation in 1954. Military intelligence recruited Egyptian Jews to plant bombs in Cairo and Alexandria targets (including U.S. and British sites), hoping to blame the Muslim Brotherhood or other locals so Britain would stay in the Suez Canal zone and Egypt’s ties with the West would sour. Agents got caught, two were executed, others imprisoned or died by suicide. Israel denied it for decades until 2005, when it quietly honored the survivors.

But sure, that was just a one-off “mishap.” Just like the King David Hotel bombing was just “resistance” when Irgun blew up the British HQ in 1946, killing 91 people. Just like assassinating UN mediator Count Bernadotte in 1948 was a totally normal response to a peace plan they didn’t like. And just like the USS Liberty in 1967 was a tragic case of “mistaken identity” that somehow involved sustained attacks on a clearly marked U.S. Navy ship in international waters, killing 34 Americans. Pattern recognition is apparently antisemitic now.

History isn’t a blank slate.
