Lavon Affair | A Part of History You Were Never TaughtThe Lavon Affair was a false flag operation carried out by Israel in Egypt in 1954.
Israel was concerned about the rise of Egyptian nationalism under President Gamal Abdel Nasser and feared the strengthening ties between Egypt and Western powers, especially the U.S.
So Israel came up with a plan.
The operation was codenamed ‘Operation Susannah’ or as it is commonly referred to now, ‘Lavon Affair.’
Israeli military intelligence recruited Egyptian Jews and undercover Israeli agents to orchestrate a series of bombings targeting American and British-owned institutions in Egypt.
The goal was to blame the attacks on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian communists, or local nationalists and damage relations between Egypt and the Western powers, particularly the U.S. and the UK.
During the month of July in 1954, the operatives carried out a series of bombings targeting American and British-owned civilian facilities in Cairo and Alexandria.
The targets included:
- Cinemas
- Libraries
- American educational centers
- Post Offices
On July 2nd, the agents detonated bombs at a post office in Alexandria.
On July 14th, they bombed the libraries of the U.S. Information Agency in Alexandria and Cairo, and a British-owned theater.
The homemade bombs, consisting of bags containing acid placed over nitroglycerine, were inserted into books and placed on the shelves of the libraries just before closing time.
Several hours later, as the acid ate through the bags, the bombs exploded.
On July 23rd, an incendiary bomb went off in the pocket of one of the agents outside the British-owned theater in Alexandria.
On October 5th, 1954, Egypt announced the arrest of a “13-man spy ring.”
Egypt concluded that the operation was ordered by the Israeli Secretary of Defense, Pinchas Lavon, hence the name “Lavon Affair.”
The 13 agents consisted of Egyptian Jews and undercover Israelis.
2 were acquitted.
1 of the Israeli agents, Max Binnet, committed suicide on arrest.
1 committed suicide in prison.
2 were executed.
The rest were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
The Lavon Affair meant that Israel lost significant standing and credibility in its relations with the U.S. and the UK, which took years to repair.
In 2005, Israel publicly honored the surviving spies by presenting them each with a certificate of appreciation for their efforts on behalf of the state, ending decades of official denial by Israel that the operation ever took place.
The Lavon Affair serves as proof that false flag operations are not off the table when it comes to Israel.

I fell asleep for a couple hours and the second i woke up i went and checked Bisan and Motaz's feeds for signs of life.
I've always believed that if people could see the true cost of war, they would never support it. Its why Ive been so insanely big on Wikileaks for all these years. Its why I believe Motaz is the most important reporter in the world right now.
The brave young journalists in Gaza have been showing us what is happening there in the most brutal and unfiltered detail. They have risked their lives over and over to get these images out in a desperate plea for help.
While most people in the world stand with them, those with the power to do something do not.
Our tax dollars are being spent wiping out entire families. Killing journalists. Burying babies in rubble.
I've seen infants blown to pieces. Toddlers trembling uncontrollably in shock. Motaz rushing to the hospital with injured and dead babies in his arms. Fetuses blown apart while they were supposed to still be safely inside their mothers.
We watched him learn his own family has been bombed.
Its too much. End foreign aid now.
