‘I plead ignorance to the British alliance with Israel in the Battle of Ramat David in 1948. I googled it and did not get a hit. Please enlighten us.’

‘I will not address the IRA point as I do not feel comfortable with my knowledge of the conflict but it seems the Brits are occupying a country not their own and the Irish are fighting for their freedom. So at least I am consistent.’
Oh dear. Fo the sake of politeness, I will contain my anger.
‘As for attacks against the US in Arab countries, Beirut, Cole etc perhaps the Americans shouldn’t be in Arab countries.
I will draw the line at the 9/11 attacks in NYC.’
Again, as I said to another poster, I wasnt actually condoning those acts. My point was to show the illogicality of condoning some terrorism whilst hating other acts of terrorism.
Sending those links as evidence of British alliance with Israel and using their air force to help the Jews of Israel was done either because of your poor reading comprehension or it was an attempt at duplicity. The latter is obviously the case considering the content and tone of your posts.
Both of those links explain that the RAF attacked Egyptian planes because they attacked Brits, NOT because they attacked Israel or Jews.
Just to clarify my position. Calling an opposing force terrorists is often controversial. I feel that if the fighters confine their attacks to military personell then they are freedom fighters or an army of sorts. That is what the Irgun did. Just because the Brits didn't like them doesn't make them terrorists. The King David Hotel was a military target, period. They ignored warnings.
