Atrocity Propaganda: From Hebron 1929 to October 7
For more than a century, Zionists have been using fabricated atrocity propganda to manufacture consent for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians. Here is a glimpse into Zionist lies of the past that still echo today.
I've often heard Zionists link the events of October 7 to the deadly Hebron riots of 1929.
There were indeed similarities - both were part of an indigenous anti-colonial struggle, and yes, both also included some horrific deaths.
Another resemblance was the atrocity propaganda. The Zionist atrocity propaganda of 1929 set the atmosphere - not just among Zionists but across the West - for the crushing of the 1936-1939 revolt by the British, the 1948 Nakba, and 76 years of oppression and apartheid. It then inspired the creators of Israeli October 7 atrocity propaganda, which was and still is used to manufacture consent for an ongoing genocide.
One of many supposed "testimonies" from 1929 Hebron, quoted last year in a tweet by Zionist propagandist Melanie Phillips, read: "They cut off hands, they cut off fingers, they held heads over a stove, they gouged out eyes. A rabbi stood immobile, commending the souls of his Jews to God – they scalped him. They made off with his brains.
On Mrs. Sokolov’s lap, one after the other, they sat six students from the yeshiva and, with her still alive, slit their throats. They mutilated the men. They shoved thirteen-year-old girls, mothers, and grandmothers into the blood and raped them in unison."
What never makes it into the Zionist version of "history", is the fact that the British Mandatory authorities, in cooperation with the Zionists, conducted an investigation into the allegations of torture, sexual abuse, and mutilation during the Hebron attacks, and found no proof whatsoever for any of it.
And just like today, Zionists responded with gaslighting - the Jewish doctors involved insisted that "because of the advanced stage of decay of the bodies when the exhumation took place, proper examination was impossible" and Zionist representatives ordered to stop the exhumation, after only one third of the bodies were dug up.
The Zionist Executive declared they "deplored" the mere questioning of the allegations, just like 94 years later, when the state they created outright refused to cooperate with the UN investigation into sexual violence allegations from October 7.
The Zionist newspaper Zionist Bulletin sarcastically mocked the eyewitness account of local British officer Cafferata and wrote that "We fail to appreciate why, if he, as a police officer, present apparently at several places at once, did not, even at the risk of his own life, do something to prevent the murders."
In reality, Officer Cafferata possibly prevented a much larger massacre and actually killed several attackers - and possibly others, since he constantly shot indiscriminately into the crowd - including an Arab policeman under his command. In Zionist historiography, Cafferata and the rest of the British are depicted, of course, as antisemites who helped the Arabs slaughter Jews.
The source of the above info is not some antisemitic British reporter, or a blood-libelous oriental Arab tale, but the September 24, 1929 issue of the Jewish Daily Bulletin, a Jewish newspaper published in New York by the Jewish Telegraphic agency.
