Now something happened in 1954
that I think we should be aware of.
We should not forget these moments in history.
This is something that's thrown down the rabbit
hole of history. It's called the Lavan affair,
named after the former
Israeli defense minister,
Finhas Lavan. So this was an attempted false
flag operation,
code named Operation Susanna,
carried out by Israeli spies in Egypt in
1954.
So these Zionist Israeli agents in Egypt planted
bombs
in busy civilian areas
in Cairo
and Alexandria,
where Americans and the British would often visit,
like movie theaters and libraries.
The plan was to commit terrorism by killing
civilians, especially Americans,
and then blame Egyptian Muslims
in order to cause tensions between Egypt and
the West.
The plan fell apart, and the Zionist spies
were caught and then confessed
the Lavan affair.
