Biological Warfare in Israeli History

Did the first Prime Minister of Israel put dysentery and typhoid in

Palestinian wells? The answer, of course, is yes.

In 1948, under direct orders from David Ben Gurion,

the man who would become the first Prime Minister of Israel, the Haganah, the

precursor to today's IDF,

launched a secret biological warfare campaign called Operation Cast Thy Bread.

They took typhoid and dysentery bacteria and

deliberately contaminated Palestinian drinking wells across multiple villages.

The goal was simple – spread deadly epidemics,

weaken the population, and ensure refugees could never return to their homes.

They even gave it a biblical name – Cast Thy Bread Upon Thy Waters – a verse about

generosity and kindness,

twisted into an act of biological cleansing and keeping in

line with the Israeli tradition of perverting what is good.

This is a typical and familiar strategy for Israel.

Poison the host,

claim the land, and rewrite the story.

The Palestinians still remember what was done to them, and now, so do you.
