Zionists three

After living in Eastern Europe under terrible conditions for generations, too many Proto-Zionists and Zionists in the 1880s devolved into liars, deceivers, and dishonest double-dealers who resorted to almost every dirty trick they could think of to survive or get what they wanted in Europe.

Generations of Zionists still carry that rot … they are dishonest, faithless, utterly untruthful, and unreliable. They lie without shame and have no intention of ever stopping.

Here are several academic papers that indirectly portray Zionists as engaging in deception or bad faith. 

The arguments are implied rather than stated outright, since academic writing typically avoids direct or harsh language. 

You will have to be smart enough to read between the lines.

WEAPONS SMUGGLING AND CONCEALMENT

Manya Shochat purchased and smuggled guns and transported illegal immigrants. Cambridge University Press describes these activities directly in Deborah Hertz’s chapter on Shochat.

The Haganah made major efforts to obtain weapons after the 1929 disturbances. British CID investigators later discovered Haganah smuggling methods that included hiding weapons in hay, wine barrels, and other shipments.

EXCLUSIVE JEWISH LABOR

The British government’s 1930 Passfield White Paper stated that the General Federation of Jewish Labour insisted on exclusively Jewish labor by Jewish employers when self-labor was impossible.
