Israeli Assassinations and Public Scrutiny
UNZ Review
April 15, 2024
“Israel-born Ronen Bergman of the New York Times is one of the best-connected Western journalists based in that country and in 2018 he published Rise and Kill First, a highly authoritative account of the Israeli Mossad and its history.”
“Bergman would have severely damaged his credibility if he had failed to include the infamous 1940s Zionist assassinations of Britain’s Lord Moyne or U.N. Peace Negotiator Count Folke Bernadotte. But he unaccountably forgot to mention that in 1937 the more right-wing Zionist faction whose political heirs have dominated Israel in recent decades assassinated Chaim Arlosoroff, the highest-ranking Zionist figure in Palestine. Moreover, he omitted a number of similar incidents, including some of those targeting top Western leaders.”
