On this day in 1948, the Haganah zionist militia bombed the Semiramis Hotel in Jerusalem at 1 am, killing 26 people & injuring 60. The victims were mostly Palestinian Christians. Entire families were eliminated. The Spanish vice-consul was also among the dead.
The Semiramis Hotel bombing was part of a campaign to force Palestinians from the Qatamon neighbourhood. Despite British denial that the hotel was any kind of military target, Haganah operatives planted TNT at the building's foundation and detonated it while families slept.
77 years later, the pattern remains unchanged: terrorizing indigenous populations to clear land for settlement. From Qatamon in 1948 to Gaza today, zionism operates as what it has always been—a settler-colonial project built on displacement, dispossession, and destruction.
