Nobel Prizes for Physics Awarded to Smart People
bobol6 writes "The 2002 Nobel Prize for Physics is out. The $1 Million is split two ways: Riccardo Giacconi gets half for building the first X-Ray telescopes, and Raymond Davis, Jr and Masatoshi Koshiba split the other half. Davis invented the water tank neutrino detector, and Koshiba used a more sophisticated one to discover neutrino oscillation. The original press release is available . News articles can be found at Science Daily and The New York Times. (Free Blah di Blah)"
Just a thought, but he might be referring to the use of terrorism by Jewish groups in Palestine from 1944 to until the establishment of Israel in 1948.
For example the bombing of the King David hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, bombing of the British embassy in Rome, bombings of police stations, railways, oil refinerys, kidnapping and murder of british soldiers by Irgun; the assasinations of Britain's minister of middle east affairs and of the UN mediator in Palastine by the Stern gang.
Please note that these were actions against Britain and the UN, I'm leaving out anything involving attacks on Arabs for fear that you will accuse me of being biased. The fact does remain that terrorism was used to achieve the ends of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and that many of those involved in what were terrorist actions (and if you disagree that those are terrorist acts please define the term more clearly) went on to form the government of Israel.
