Begin’s atrocity at the King David helped to inspire modern day Islamic terrorism, of that there is no question.

They were committing terrorism well before it. And attacking occupation HQ, after calling with a warning to it and surrounding buildings is nothing like the civilian-targeting terrorism that is common. I'm sorry if you refuse to see the difference.

And this whining from Anglophiles is a farce. Britain's terror night bombings of civilians in WW2 were far worse than anything conceived by any member of the Irgun.

Britain's terror night bombings of civilians in WW2

Waaaah, after what the Nazis did to Warsaw, it was too good for them.

1—Ah, so terrorism by dem Jews is ‘different’ is it?. I used to get that argument from Americans about the IRA as well...was a load of bulls*it then as well.

2—So the USAF didnt bomb Germany as kill civilians 1942-45?.

[the scotsman]

You DO realise there was more to the Jewish terrorism than one famous bomb?.

What about the swift and cold blooded murder of Bernadotte?. Or the torturing to death of two British soldiers and their boobytrapped bodies (Sgts Martin and Paice). Or the coldblooded attacks/murders of British soldiers and even pro-British Jews (the latter of which had even the Haganah come after the Irgun and Stern and side with the British)....

As to the King David, your trying to make the Irgun seem humane is pitiful. Oh, so they gave a warning.

So f*cking what?. Big f*cking deal.
So did ETA or the IRA.

And you cant tell me that the latter were humane Irish boys that didnt really mean to kill Protestant Irish, British, and in 1983, an American (Harrods bombing)......
