I realized the relative sizes of the fighting forces when I visited the Etzel Museum many years ago. Great place. Plus the Brits never fail to call the Jews terrorists , and bring up the King David Hotel neglecting to mention it was military headquarters.
We never fail to call them that because they were. I actually respect someone who says ‘yeah, they were, so what’, than the people who try and argue ‘no, they were freedom fighters’.
Why is it so hard for people to admit Jewish people can be terrorists?. I dosent ‘mark’ Jews anymore than the IRA marks Catholic Irish, ETA marks Basques or Timothy McVeigh marks Americans.
So the hotel was a legitimate target?. Imagine if I came on and argued that the USS Cole wasa perfectly legitimate target. Or the two embassies in 1998, after all they had CIA staff working out of them.
If what the Irgun and Stern gangs did was a-ok, then frankly all terrorism is, so quit whining about 9-11.
OK?.
(YEAH, YOU SEE HOW CRAP THAT ARGUMENT IS?)
“bring up the King David Hotel neglecting to mention it was military headquarters.”
First, I am not going to excuse the bombing of the KDH. It was an act of war, no doubt about it.
Second, and however, the Brits always neglect to mention the Irgun called the Brits REPEATEDLY telling them there was a bomb -— the goal was to destroy the seret police records, not terror or to take human life.
For reasons unknown, the Brits simply refused to evacuate the building.
