Firstly, you skip over the fact that the Jews were in fact two terrorist gangs that even the majority of Palestine Jews opposed and actually helped the British hunt down, with the public consent of Ben Gurion.

Secondly, the RAF helped defeat an Arab attack at Ramat David airfield in the 1948 war. So British forces helped Israel at least once, where were US forces?. And before you start mentioning the Arab Legion, the UK govt made it illegal for any British soldier to fight for the Legion, those who did were arrested and imprisoned on return to the UK.

Yes, the Irgun Zvai Leumi & Stern Gang were terroristic. When the ship Altalena was bringing them munitions, Ben Gurion said to David Shaltiel commander of the Haganah, “I’m giving you your toughest assignment yet. Today you may have to kill Jews.” And the Haganah did just that.

No mention of Deir Yassin?

BTW there’s some really fun footage of Egyptian Spitfires shot down by Israeli Messerschmitts.

;^)

“...the UK govt made it illegal for any British soldier to fight for the Legion...”

Did this include Lieutenant-General Sir John Glubb?
