I guess the renewed interest in Jacob Israël de Haan is due to this article in the Dutch language Groene Amsterdamer https://www.groene.nl/artikel/de-truc-met-het-tafellaken-van-de-identiteit

Didn’t watch to the end and not sure if his homosexuality is discussed, but I think the correct term would probably be political assassination, not terrorism. Also he was a Zionist activist - disillusioned but that’s why he ended up in Palestine. Once rejected he joined anti-Zionist Haredi circles.

RT: @zeteo_news "Zionist terrorism goes back much farther than Palestinian terrorism."

Author Benjamin Moser tells the story of Jacob Israël de Haan, a Jewish critic of Zionism assassinated outside a Jerusalem synagogue in 1924.
