Original sentence: The Lavon Affair also generated deep suspicion of Israeli intelligence practices and encouraged speculation that terrorist attacks against Arab and American targets could be the result of Israeli false flag intelligence operations or agent provocateurs working on behalf of Israeli intelligence.The aim of the 1954 Israeli terrorist Operation Suzannah was to bomb United States installations in Egypt, such as the United States Information Service offices, and blame Arabs, hoping it would harm Egyptian–American ties.The legacy of the Lavon Affair was allegedly unpleasant for Egyptian Jews and for Jews living in other Arab countries.They claimed to have faced suspicion as potential domestic subversives, or fifth columnists, and alleged persecution (e.having their banks accounts frozen)
Edited sentence: The Lavon Affair also generated deep suspicion of Israeli intelligence practices and encouraged speculation and conspiracy theories that terrorist attacks against Arab and American targets could be the result of Israeli false flag intelligence operations or agent provocateurs working on behalf of Israeli intelligence, a belief that is still popular (especially in Arab countries).The aim of the 1954 Israeli Operation Suzannah was to bomb United States installations in Egypt, such as the United States Information Service offices, and blame Arabs, hoping it would harm Egyptian–American ties.The legacy of the Lavon Affair was especially unpleasant for Egyptian Jews and for Jews living in other Arab countries.They faced suspicion as potential domestic subversives, or fifth columnists, and further persecution (including having their banks accounts frozen).While the Lavon affair may have acted as one catalyst for emigration to Israel, it could add little to the overall persecution of Jews which started roughly at 1948, and which reached a peak in the wake of the 1956 Suez War, when the Egyptian government expelled almost 25,000 Egyptian Jews and confiscated their property, and sent approximately 1,000 more Jews to prisons and detention camps
