The Palestinian Jews were finally able to persuade the British to let them serve in the British Army. The result was the Jewish Brigade, which deployed to Italy in the closing days of the War. After the War, they used their status as British military to roam Europe picking up "displaced persons" - Jews who had survived. They trucked them to camps and got them passage to Palestine, all under the noses of the British brass.
Becoming a force of assassins would attract unwanted attention and could lead to the end of their important work.
Veterans of The Brigade would also form the nucleus of the Israeli Defense Force.
