In the mid-1940s, Swedish diplomat, Folke Bernadotte, orchestrated the release of about 31,000 prisoners from German concentration camps. Thus, when, in mid-1948, the UN needed a Mediator to sort out the chaos in Palestine, Bernadotte was ideal for the task: not only was he widely respected as a peace-maker, his role in saving Jews from the death camps should have earned him the respect of the Zionists.
However, on 17 September, four months after Israel’s self-declared statehood and just as he was about to release his new peace plan, Bernadotte was murdered by Zionist assassins.
But by who, exactly? Lehi, the so-called “Stern Gang”, has been the presumed assassin (and there is no question that Lehi wanted him dead). Recently declassified documents, however, suggest that although Lehi terrorists pulled the trigger, it was the Israeli State itself that hired them.
