MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 22, 1946: In a terrorist attack, the right-wing Zionist group, Irgun, bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing 91 people. The hotel was the site of the civil administration and military headquarters for Mandatory Palestine, a League of Nations political entity set up from 1920-1948. During World War I, the UK promised independence to the Arabs in Palestine if they rose up against the Ottomans, who controlled the Levant at that time. The Palestinian Arabs did rise up, helping to force out the Turks. However, the British betrayed them, dividing up the land with the French under the Sykes-Picot Agreement. During that same time, Jewish militias were organizing to create an independent Jewish state in Palestine. The attack on the King David was part of the “Jewish Insurgency” (AKA “Palestine Emergency”), a paramilitary campaign carried out by underground Jewish terrorist organizations against the British in order to create a Jewish state. Disguised as Arab workmen and waiters, Irgun operatives gained access to the hotel basement, where they placed a bomb. They did it in retaliation for Operation Agatha, when the British authorities raided Jewish Insurgency members’ homes and offices and arrested many of their members. Much of the British intelligence on the Jewish militias was stored in the King David Hotel.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>terrorism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zionism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bombing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/massacre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>massacre</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/turkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>turkey</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jewish</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/arab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arab</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 11, 1892: Frisco Mine was dynamited by striking Coeur D’Alene miners after they discovered they had been infiltrated by Pinkertons and after one of their members had been shot. The striking miners belonged to the Western Federation of Miners. Prior to this, the mine owners had increased work hours, decreased pay and brought in a bunch of scabs to replace striking workers. Ultimately, over 600 striking miners were imprisoned without charge by the military in order to crush the strike. </p><p>You can read my article on the Pinkertons here: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/?s=pinkerton" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">michaeldunnauthor.com/?s=pinke</span><span class="invisible">rton</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bombing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pinkertons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pinkertons</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wfm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wfm</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scabs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/friscomine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>friscomine</span></a></p>

In yet another action against the #ruleoflaw #Trump to limit sharing #classified info with #Congress after #leak on #Iran #bombing damage. Why it matters: The "Battle Damage Assessment" leak outraged Trump and top U.S. officials, who said it was incomplete and that its release was aimed at undercutting Trump's claims that Iran's nuclear sites had been #obliterated #democracy #constitution #politics #president #power #corruption #lawfedi The #leak could have come from any number of parts of govt

A preliminary classified #US report says the American #bombing of #Iran ’s #nuclear sites sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings - setting back Iran’s #nuclearprogram by only a few months, officials said.

The New York Times · Strike Set Back Iran’s Nuclear Program by Only a Few Months, U.S. Report SaysBy Julian E. Barnes

The #IAEA said it has identified additional impact points at the #Fordow & #Natanz #nuclear sites, including possible localized #contamination & #chemical hazards.

“Regarding the additional strikes to Fordow that were reported early on Monday – after the #US #bombing of the facility early on Sunday – the IAEA assesses that access roads close to the underground facility & one of its entrances were hit,” the statement read.
