I guess the Warsaw Ghetto fighters were “terrorists” as well.
So. My best guess is that the director of the Imperial War Museum is a frigging Muslim.
I was discussing the movie Fury with a liberal acquaintance. She defended the nazi’s saying if someone invaded my country I would fight too.
The British history of anti-Jewish thinking and action is pretty damning. I don’t understand it, though I can accept that some part of it stems from the activities of the Haganah against the Brits in 1947 or so in the Palestinian mandate. Though the sentiment long precedes that era. The Brits apparently think they’ll be so much better off with a self-inflicted Islamic invasion versus the mere presence of Jews who never meant them the slightest harm (except when those Jews were in Pre-Israel Palestine) Meanwhile, the death toll at Gallipoli at the hands of the Turks (not really the Turks “fault”, it was a blunderous campaign by the Brits) had a death toll easily 100 times higher.
They will sorely regret their choice by the time they figure it out.
The museum is partly correct.
The men in 1944 were fighting in a legitimate army.
Those who fought post 1945 in either the Stern or Lehi WERE terrorists. Those two groups were terrorist gangs and committed acts of bombing, murder and torture against British, Arab and Jewish people.
I was just at the Imperial War Museum in London back in May...to me, it left much to be desired. Overall, most of the exhibits were underwhelming.
Ironically, on the first floor of the IWM is a utterly smashed up car from Iraq that was shattered in a car bombing (VBIED), which killed about 80 people —now that was the one exhibit that really did show what real terrorists are all about.
Just a sidenote:
the only western nation to fight with Israel in 1948 were the British. When RAF airmen and ground troops helped the Israelis by repulsing an attack on Ramat David airfield.
Were I to be in the same room as the person responsible for this travesty, I would slap their face with all the force I could muster. The Jews fighting the Nazis in WWII were only “terrorists” because the Muzzie-loving Brits labeled them so. The Jewish brigades in WWII got rid of lots of Nazis that the regular Brits could not. They were brave beyond belief, and the Muzzie-lover Brits label them “terrorists”? Yes, I agree that Britain is gonna get exactly what they deserve by importing and tolerating all the Muzzies currently taking over their country. Maps in the next decade or so will be labeled “Islamostan” where once you saw Britain. Jerks.
Terrorists target non-combatants as well as (or instead of) enemy troops. Freedom fighters do not do so.
That was the story with the IRA, who started as freedom fighters targeting British invaders but became a terrorist organization by killing civilians intentionally.
Love those Irish rebel tunes, but they sour when I think how the IRA went to Marxism and terror.
British Jew-Hate cannot be contained.
I’ve been to that museum many times and it has a very good exhibit on the Holocaust (I think it’s permanent.) So I’m surprised. Wonderful place, generally.
