Event #1326 Two-day seminar to mark the 60th anniversary of the bombing of the King David Hotel
Start Date: Wednesday, 19 Jul 2006
End Date: Thursday, 20 Jul 2006
During a devastating Israeli attack on Lebanon, purportedly in response to a Hizbullah attack on Israeli troops, Israel mounted a celebration of Zionist terrorism, the bombing of the King David Hotel

The Jerusalem Post reported (see this article):
A two-day seminar will be held to mark the 60th anniversary of the bombing of the King David Hotel, Jerusalem, by members of the United Resistance Movement (Haganah and Irgun). The King David Hotel was at the time the military headquarters of the British Mandatory Authority. The seminar, which will be held by the Begin Heritage Center in conjunction with the University of Haifa and the Irgun Veterans Association, will be addressed by: MK Binyamin Netanyahu, Shraga Ellis, David Ohana, Ya'acov Makovitzki, Prof. Arieh Naor, Shaul Avishai, Herzl Makov, Eldar Harovi of the Palmach Archives, Yossi Kister of the Irgun Museum, Udi Laval of the Ben-Gurion Institute, Michal Dohen of Bar Ilan University, Moti Golani of the University of Haifa and others. In recent times, it is not unusual that military regimes establish headquarters in popular hotels or other civilian institutions, but in 1946 it was an exceptional instance. Among the seminar participants will be persons who had a role one way or another in the operation, which was one of the decisive events compelling the British to give up the Mandate over Palestine and leave the country. The seminar will be held at the Menachem begin Heritage Center, 6 Nahon Street, Jerusalem.
