But, you see, the Holocaust never happened, Deir Yassin was a premeditated act of mass murder, Solomon's Temple never existed, There were no Jooos! in Palestine until after the Holocaust that never happened, and Gilat Shalit is a Hamas freedom fighter who's only pretending to be kidnapped. So one screenplay more or less makes little difference.

What a one sided piece.

The Irgun and Stern gangs were terrorists, end of. The writer lists a series of alleged British atrocities, yet ignores the vile acts of both groups: the bombing of the King David Hotel, the torture and murder of two British sergeants (Martin and Paice) whose bodies were boobytrapped in order to kill more British soldiers, the brutal assaination of Count Bernadotte, a man who spent WW2 SAVING thousands of Jews!.

The writer ignores that just TWO British deserters were involved in the Ben Yehuda bombing, and that it was an attack by Arabs using British trucks. Not ‘by the British’ There were more British trucks than men!.

And the 16 year old killed?. Farran, the British soldier accused was eventually found not guilty simply because there was one piece of evidence, and that was extremely circumstancial.

The Stern and Irgun were so vile that even the Haganah fought WITH the British to hunt their members down. Stern was such a fanatic that in 1941 he even met with Nazi agents and agreed to attack the British in Palestine in return for an agreement for Hitler to allow Europe’ Jews to be sent to Palestine.

Thank god for REAL Jews like David Ben Gurion who refused to condone men like Begin or Stern. Men like Ben Gurion fought for Israel’s freedom without resorting to murder.

If modern attempts to portray Hamas, the PLO, Hezbollah as freedom fighters instead of the murdering terrorists they actually are is disgusting, then frankly so is the idea that the Irgun and Stern gangs, and men like Begin and Stern were freedom fighters and heroes.

Nor the disgusting attempts to equate British policy with the Nazis. We are the people who stood alone against the Nazis, we are the people who liberated the likes of Belsen.

Was British policy in hindsight wrong or at times badly flawed?. Yes.

But that was and is no justification for the acts of the two terrorists groups from 1944-48 in Palestine.The Irgun and Stern Gangs were terrorists and murderers, not heroes.
