A US diplomat with a long and distinguished career before becoming ambassador to Lebanon, John Gunther Dean narrowly escaped assassination by the "Front for the Liberation of Lebanon from Foreigners (FLLF)." Dean's suspicions that the group was a front for Israeli intelligence were dismissed at the time.

    In 2018, the book Rise and Kill First by the Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman confirmed Dean's suspicions. From the book:

    In 1979, Rafael Eitan and Meir Dagan (both IDF commanders) created the FLLF, and ran that fictitious group from 1979 to 1983.

      Aren’t memes related to Israel banned on this sub?

      Edit decided to look at the links op gave, which just led to Wikipedia which then links three things. An article that doesn’t exist, a reference to a book I’m not going to get and this article.

      https://mondoweiss.net/2018/08/credence-ambassadors-assassinate/

      Which does fun things like type in all caps and have hanging quotation marks.

      So the post is talking about a Lebanon war meme which I don’t think is banned

      I’m sorry but what is the sourcing on this lol? A journalist proved it by… claiming so in his book?

      What’s the actual evidence?

      I swear… Israel genuinely thinks poking friends and enemies will never catch up to them. But history has always shown us how horribly “play both sides” factions get treated in the end
