Did Mossad Plan to Assassinate Field Marshal Munir in Switzerland?: A Brief Note of Zionism’s Record of Carrying Out Political Murders.

According to Pepe Escobar, a Brazilian journalist and geostrategist who is based in East Asia, Mossad, the foreign intelligence service of Israel, recently plotted to assassinate Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir in Switzerland for his role in brokering talks between the United States and Iran. However, while it is difficult to ascertain the veracity of this claim, it is worth noting that Zionism has a record of plotting and carrying out the assassinations of statesmen who act against its perceived interests.

For instance, the Zionist Stern gang of pre-Israel Palestine assassinated Lord Moyne and Count Folke Bernadotte respectively in 1944 and 1948. Moyne was the Middle East Envoy for Britain and Bernadotte was a UN Peace Mediator. The former was gunned down in Cairo, while the latter suffered a similar fate during an ambush in Jerusalem.

And various British political and military leaders were threatened with death through a letter bombing campaign by the terrorist organisation Lehi, known to the British authorities as the Stern Gang. The targets included Prime Minister Clement Atlee, Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, then the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, and even Sir Winston Churchill.

The letter bombs were reportedly intercepted in the Italian city of Genoa.

The threats extended to the British royal family. In 1946, extra security precautions were taken to protect King George VI because of threats of Zionist violence aimed at the state opening of Parliament. This followed a boast by a leader of the Irgun, the larger organisation from which Lehi had split, that it would “attack London’s heart and even Buckingham Palace itself.” In a front page article of its June 8^th, 1947 edition, the Australian newspaper The Truth stated that the “"arrogant boasting of Jewish terrorists and their cowardly threats, particularly that Princess Elizabeth, have disgusted the world."

Ezer Weizman, a future Major General who would become the commander of the Israeli Air Force, joined a cell of the Zionist terror group Irgun to plot the assassination of General Evelyn Barker, the head of Britain's military in Palestine, by placing a mine on a road outside his home in England. However, the group gave up the plan after arousing the suspicions of Scotland Yard.

Interestingly, John Gunther Dean, a U.S. Ambassador to India in the 1980s alleged that the MOSSAD had assassinated General Zia ul-Haq, the military ruler of Pakistan. Zia died in a plane crash in 1988. Dean, who provided no evidence of this, based his assumption on the fact that Israel did not want Pakistan to obtain a nuclear weapon. He was censored by the U.S. State Department and forced to retire on the grounds that he was "mentally unbalanced".

A German Jew by heritage, Dean was targeted in a failed assassination by Israel in 1980 while he was serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon. Responsibility for the rocket attack on his motorcade in Beirut was claimed by the FLLF (The Front for the Liberation of Lebanon from Foreigners), a phantom terror group formed and directed by the Northern Command of the IDF.  Dean was able to trace the source of the projectiles that targeted him to a shipment of arms in 1974 from the United States to Israel. However, his findings were never officially investigated, although he was officially rehabilitated.

The rationale for an Israeli orchestrated assassination of Field Marshal Munir would be consistent with previous assassinations conducted by Zionist terror militias and later by the Israeli state on those seeking peaceful compromise. Count Bernadotte’s murder arose from his belief that the Palestinian people were entitled to the right of return, while Dean was targeted for his suggestion that Israel should abandon its heavy-handed approach and enter into peace talks with the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. The targeting in more recent times of peace negotiators of Hamas and the Iranian state testify to a longstanding policy embedded in the mentality of Zionists.
