       80 years ago, a bomb blew up the HQ of the British Mandate in #Palestine, at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. 91 people were killed.It was planted by the Irgun, a right-wing #Zionist group. UK Prime Minister Clement Attlee called it an "insane act of terrorism" .Winston Churchill was similarly outraged.In 2006, on the 60th anniversary, 64 MPs signed an #EDM denouncing the attack. The proposer & 17 others were Tories.#KemIBadenoch wouldn't allow that.https://edm.parliament.uk/early-day-motion/31213/sixtieth-anniversary-of-bombing-of-king-david-hotel#ukpol
