Here are some Confirmed Zionist firsts:
Grenades in cafes, first used against Palestinians in Jerusalem on 17 March, 1937.
Delayed-action, electrically timed mines in crowded market-places: first against Palestinians in Haifa, 6 July, 1938.
Blowing up a ship with its civilian passengers still on board: first in Haifa, 25 November, 1940. The Zionists did not hesitate to blow up their own people to protest the British policy of strict Jewish immigration to Palestine. The ship âPatriaâ had 1,700 Jewish immigrants.
Assassination of government official outside Palestine: first used against the British in Cairo, when on 6 November, 1944 Lord Moyne was assassinated by the Stern Gang. Yitzhak Shamir, a member of the Irgun and later leader of the Stern Gang was behind the plan. .
Taking of hostages to put pressure on a government: first used against the British in Tel Aviv, 18 June, 1946.
Blowing up government offices with their civilian employees and visitors: first used against the British in Jerusalem, 22 July, 1946. The toll was 91 Britons, and 46 injured in King David Hotel. Begin, who masterminded and carried out the attack, admitted that the massacre was coordinated with and carried out under the instruction of the Haganah.
Booby-trapped suitcase: first used against the British Embassy in Rome, 13 October, 1946.
Booby-trapped car parked alongside buildings: first used against the British in Sarafand (east of Jaffa) on 5 December, 1946.
Flogging of hostages: first used against the British in Tel Aviv, Natanya and Rishon, 29 December, 1946.

Murder of hostages as a reprisal for government actions: first used against the British in Natanya area on 29 July, 1947.
Postal Parcel-bomb sent outside Palestine: first used against the British in London, 3 September, 1947.
The first Mideast airplane hijacked was committed by Israel in 1954 when a civilian Syrian airliner was
hijacked after taking off. (In December 1954, Israeli military jets intercepted a civilian aircraft in Syrian airspace that had recently taken off from Damascus, and forced it to land within Israeli territory. Syrian passengers were detained for 48 hours, pending negotiations over the fate of five Israeli soldiers who had been captured inside Syrian territory while mounting wiretapping installations.)
An excerpt from the *Israeli* book (âPalestinians: The Making of a Peopleâ, by Baruch Kimmerling and Joel s. Migdal) âThe sequence of events in Dayr Yasin is now scarcely disputed. The villageâs nonbelligerency pact with local Jewish forces did not spare it being swept into the Jewish offensive to break the Arab stranglehold on Jerusalem. Following an intense battle between Palestinian militiamen and Irgun forces with some Haganah mortar support, Palestinian forces departed and the Irgun entered the village on April 9. In brutal acts of revenge for their losses, the Jewish fighters killed many of the remaining men, women, and children and raped and mutilated others. Those not killed immediately were ignominiously paraded through Jerusalemâ
And here are some good books with which to confirm these incidents:

The moral posturing that puts all blame on Palestinians while excusing all Israeli provocation is the height of hypocrisy.
