A new book uncovers shocking secret attacks launched on ships bearing Holocaust survivors en route to Israel. Andrew Roberts on the violent lengths to which post-war Britain went to appease oil-rich Arab states.

As Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, the pitiful remnants of History’s greatest crime, tried to make their way across an often hostile Europe at the end of the Second World War, toward at least a semblance of safety in the Holy Land, they had no shortage of problems with which to contend, including disease and malnutrition, Polish anti-Semitism, Soviet indifference, Allied bureaucracy, and Arab nationalism. Now we discover that they faced yet another peril in the shape of bombs planted on their transport ships by Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, better known as MI6.

A new book to be published next week entitled MI6: The History of the Secret Intelligence Service 1909-1949, by the distinguished British historian Keith Jeffery, reveals the existence of Operation Embarrass, a plan to try to prevent Jews getting into Palestine in 1946-'48 using disinformation and propaganda but also explosive devices placed on ships. Nor is this some speculative spy story that can be denied by the authorities: Dr. Jeffrey’s book is actually, in their own words: “Published with the permission of The Secret Intelligence Service and the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.”

Is it an all girls school?

So once you get your tenure you will become untouchable and you can say anything you want without consequences?

But probably with a dandy retirement and health care for life. Teachers of all types are largely part of a powerful union machine.

Thanks for the ping. The article story doesn’t surprise me at all. Britain has always had Arab & Muslim sympathies. One day I suspect it’ll come back to bite them in a major way.

That is why God reduced Britain to a 4th rate power!

No nation survives attacking the Jews-got that Buchanan!

[M. Espinola]

Well stated.

The situation was more complex than Britain storming around Jewish refugee ships like Nazi stormtroopers.

Remember, British soldiers and civilians were being murdered, shot and bombed by Jewish terrorists in Palestine at that time. And they were using the publicity to raise guns and funds and even using those ships to smuggle in arms.

[the scotsman]

The Boer deaths were due to appallingly bad running of the camps, not deliberate murder. In fact there was a huge public outcry when the full horror became known, and hundreds of doctors, nurses and staff were sent immediately to take over the camps. And deaths plummeted.

The Boer deaths were almost all women and children. And the Boers died because their refusal to breed/marry outside the Boer people means that they were more suspetible to certain diseases than other Europeans in SA. Literally, to some they had NO immunity.

I too hope the same, but remember the UK was broke following the end of WW2... :^(

[investigateworld]

Also, the hanging of those enlisted British soldiers ... bad tactical error :^(
