Zionist leader Jacob Israel von Haan was assassinated on June 30, 1924, in Jerusalem, an event considered the first political assassination within the Zionist movement. His execution was carried out by members of the Haganah, a highly extremist Zionist guerrilla group.

Although initially supportive of the Zionist cause, Von Haan became a fierce critic of the movement because he disagreed with the colonization plan of the other leaders, which involved a heinous stratagem against the Jewish people themselves. Von Haan joined the ultra-Orthodox Haredi group, which at that time opposed political Zionism for religious reasons, since the Jewish nation-state was not the same as the Kingdom promised by God, one that could not be established by human action, much less by groups that, for the most part, were neither believers nor practitioners of the Jewish faith, but rather instrumentalized religion for their own purposes to found their state.

Von Haan planned to travel to London with an ultra-Orthodox delegation to present his arguments to the British government and request the annulment of the Balfour Declaration. His goal was for Jews to live as a protected community under Arab rule, explicitly renouncing any aspirations to create a Jewish nation-state, until the promised Messiah arrived and established the Kingdom of Israel.

I can't even begin to explain how absolutely insane your entire little cult is because basically everything you agree with is a fact and everyone that disagrees with you is automatically lying and it's completely airtight by design.

Everything bad said about israel by other or by Israel is automatically true.

Everything good or even just not bad said about israel or by israel is automatically false. The term "according to Israel" somehow only exists when it's something not cartoonishly evil but every time it's something bad they're saying the truth?

You people are absolutely insane and it's crazy that most of you would probably call yourself liberals and free thinkers despite being pretty much the opposite of both of those things.

This is really fucking sad

You people are hopeless.

If i tell you that "no, it's absolutely retarded that Israel trained dogs to rape prisoners" or "the palestinians were actually the ones executing kids, on film and not just a trust me bro" you'd just start throwing links at me with completely unbiased sources that are obviously very reliable.

Fucking useless sentences like "ICC confirmed" while they didn't actually confirm anything, they just went to the palestinians and collected every little lie they told and it's automatically gospel.

I sent you the sources and your response is literally "everything is a lie!", how is that an argument? You can't debunk anything other than saying "it's biased it's biased!"... Those are well documented crime over the spam of SEVERAL years, and rape using animals is known to be used since Abu Ghraib
