Morris 2004 attributes it to the Haganah as well. Morris 2004:
p.66: "The Haganah also on occasion inadvertently employed terror, as in the attack on Jerusalem’s Semiramis Hotel in January 1948", p.123: "The main precipitant to flight during the first months was, without doubt, the Haganah raid on the night of 5–6 January, in which the Semiramis Hotel was blown up.", p.343: "On 4 January 1948, Etzioni blew up the Semiramis Hotel in Jerusalem’s Qatamon neighbourhood."

Morris repeats Haganah in several other books, sometimes with more detail. Gelber, Palestine 1948, p65, also says Haganah. So does "Israel" by Martin Gilbert, and Cline, Jerusalem Besieged. Milstein, History of Israel's War of Independence (Vol 3) has several pages on it implicating the Haganah in detail. Bowyer Bell on another page refers to "Mishael Shacham, the man who directed the Hotel Semiramis operation" but Shacham was deputy Haganah commander in Jerusalem according to Milstein (multiple pages). As for Pappe, unfortunately this sort of imprecision is why I don't cite him. I will boldly remove both gentlemen. Zerotalk05:57, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the term "terror" should be used in the article description, it is not NPOV and is not used in the article. Please can someone with edit rights remove? MosheDov1 (talk) 00:01, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
