State of Terror (Book)
by Tom Suarez
Thomas Suarez’s State of Terror reviewed by Eve Mykytyn
The massacre of innocent Arab villagers at Deir Yassin by Jewish terrorists has often been described as an isolated act. But this new book shows how, in fact, the use of terror by supporters of the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine was systematic, routine and accepted by Jewish leaders as necessary to achieve their aims. At the height of the British Mandate in Palestine, terrorist acts were carried out at a frequency and with an intensity that has been forgotten nowadays, and that compares with the worst acts of terrorism by Palestinians in Israel, or ISIS in Syria and Iraq. In this book, Suarez present the terrorists' own accounts in secret internal papers boasting of their successes.
