    Fascinating, thanks for sharing that. Lehi was classified as a terrorist group by Israel although they were Zionists. As the article states, most Jewish militant groups at the time allied with the UK against Germany, not the other way around.

    Wait until you hear about operation paperclip!

      Lehi became Likud, the party of Netanyahu. Currently in power. Their own party members are all over Israeli TV advocating for the genocide of all Palestinians in Gaza and cheering on every bombardment. The number one target of most Jewish militant groups was the British. As they were the authority in mandate Palestine. You are truly ignorant of history.

        Lehi became Likud

        Interesting, where can I read more about this? Wikipedia says:

        The Likud was formed on 13 September 1973 as a secular party by an alliance of several right-wing parties prior to that year’s legislative election—Herut, the Liberal Party, the Free Centre, the National List, and the Movement for Greater Israel.

        Nothing about Lehi.

        the party of Netanyahu. Currently in power. Their own party members are all over Israeli TV advocating for the genocide of all Palestinians in Gaza and cheering on every bombardment.

        I suspect that’s hyperbole and they’re not literally saying they want genocide, but still, right-wingers gonna right-wing. Assholes, the lot of 'em.

        The number one target of most Jewish militant groups was the British. As they were the authority in mandate Palestine. You are truly ignorant of history.

        From the article my comment was regarding:

        the majority of the Yishuv [the body of Jewish residents in Palestine] … had abandoned the struggle against the British when World War II broke out to join in fighting their common enemy of Nazi Germany.

        The article goes on at great lengths about how the other militant groups were at odds with Lehi regarding their attempts at alignment with Germany. Who’s ignorant?
