SPECIAL ENCORE: The King David Hotel Bombing and 79 Years of Zionist Terrorism

The Nakba, meaning "catastrophe" in Arabic, refers to the mass displacement, dispossession, and ethnic cleansing of roughly 750,000 Palestinian Arabs during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. It marks the destruction of Palestinian society, the destruction of over 400 villages, and the prevention of return for refugees. We're reposting short audio from last year about Israeli terrorists blowing up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem to commemorate the Nakba. This incident was one of many terrorist actions by the Irgun that drove the British out of Palestine and led to the Nakba two years later. --------------On July 22, 1946, Terrorists from the Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary group in Palestine led by Menachem Begin, blew up part of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which was the headquarters of the British Mandate in Palestine. The explicit goal was to use terror to drive the British out of the region, and the blast killed 91--mostly civilians, about 30 Britons, and about 20 Jews. The attack met its goal as the British were driven out of Palestine and Israel was created 2 years later. The King David bombing showed that terrorism worked and set into motion 8 decades of continued terror from Israel, and it shows, again, that there is no historical basis for using October 7, 2023 as a point of origin to discuss this issue. ———————🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org📰 Follow on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ One-time Donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org🏆 Top 100 Activist Podcasts: https://bit.ly/4eHNt1f🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Bob🔔 Subscribe for more history, political resistance, and anti-imperialist analysis.

May 21st Panel on Radicals, Realists, and Repression: The State of Activism in the U.S.

Join us on May 21st at 6:30pm for a panel on Radicals, Realists, and Repression: The State of Activism in the US.

RSVP: https://actionnetwork.org/events/radicals-realists-and-repression-the-state-of-activism-in-the-us/https://actionnetwork.org/events/radicals-realists-and-repression-the-state-of-activism-in-the-us/ [https://actionnetwork.org/events/radicals-realists-and-repression-the-state-of-activism-in-the-us/] We’ve been in the midst of a serious rollback of first amendment protected activities. States are passing anti-protest legislation, police are increasingly militarized, surveillance is being drastically increased on activist groups and the Trump administration is turning activism into terrorism. BUT, we are also seeing new large-scale resistance from the massive No Kings and May Day mobilizations to fierce resistance to ICE in Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis, communities and movements are fighting back.The anti-AI Data Center movement has blurred political divides across the country. Activists are not only marching in the street and disrupting authoritarian forces, but actions at Tesla dealerships, Kimberly Clark warehouses, the offices of corporate war profiteers and other locations show a radical edge to today’s resistance. This panel discussion will focus on the state of activism in the United States from its radicals to its realists, how the state is responding with repression, and understanding why movements and activists make the choices they do. * WHERE: The Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian Universalists; 1924 Cedar St. Berkeley CA * WHEN: May 21st, 2026. Doors open at 6:30pm. Event begins at 7pm * Virtual viewing: We'll also be live streaming the event on our YouTube Page.
