Unfair to Israel: history of letter bombs

This history of letter bombs in the Economist--the best magazine there is (and it is silly for some people to read this endorsement of mine as an endorsement of the political line of the magazine)--is so incomplete and rather inaccurate.  It leaves out the early pioneering terrorist works by Zionist gangs to British embassies in Europe in the 1940s.  Most bizarrely, the Economist here only mentions letter bombs sent by Israel to Nazis and leaves out the many letter bombs that Israel sent over the years to Palestinian writers, poets, strugglers, and activists.
