It was great when Israelis responded to the Brits summary execution of IDF soldiers by hanging a British officer from a tree. This crushed British resolve to crush the Jews on behalf of the Arab savages they love so much. Ever since the Brits took the side of the Muslims their empire has collapsed. Did this start when T.E. Lawrence bent over for them?
Wow...points to ponder...
Firstly, the Jews killed were not Israelis, as the nation didn’t exist then.
Secondly, they were members of one of the two Jewish terrorist groups in Palestine at the time: the Irgun and the Stern gangs. Not IDF, not freedom fighters, terrorists. Two groups btw that most Jews in the region opposed openly inc men like David Ben Gurion. Many Jews helped the British hunt them down, as they not only opposed their actions, but the bombings by the Irgun and Stern gangs had killed and injured many innocent civilians, including many Jews. The two gangs also murdered any fellow Jew they decided was pro-British. They even murdered a Swedish count, who’d spent WW2 SAVING thousands of Jews!.
They were not heroic freedom fighters, but terrorists, the Jewish IRA. Or ETA. They bombed and murdered not only soldiers, but civilians, inc their own people.
The Stern gang even met with Nazi representatives in 1941 to discuss open operations against the British in return for the end to Jewish killings and Jews being allowed to go to Palestine in the event of a Nazi victory. Think I am lying?. Go check.
Thirdly, they did not hang one officer. They abducted two unarmed British sergeants, tortured them, murdered them, and then booby trapped their bodies. Their names were Martin and Paice.
I am utterly disgusted that you think their tortures and murders were ‘great’, or that the murder of any military officer, British or not, is a thing to be gleeful about. You should be ashamed of yourself. I was genuinely astonished by your post, I could not believe anyone would revel and celebrate the brutal murder of a soldier. Or in this case, two young men.
What would you say if I said the murder of an American soldier was ‘great’?.........
Say what? The IDF did not even exist when that happened. It was the Irgun (a Jewish terrorist group that future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin belonged to; they also bombed the King David Hotel). Also, I don’t believe it was an officer that was hanged; I think it was a soldier from the ranks, and there was more than one.
Our empire collapsed because we near-bankrupted ourselves twice in two world wars, losing almost a million men in the first, and fighting the evil of Nazism alone in the second for nearly 18 months whilst others collapsed or stood by and watched.
And what thanks do we get?. None. Our heroism, courage and contribution/sacrifice ridiculed by Hollywood whilst our Stateside cousins tell us how we, the Canucks and the Empire sat drinking tea whilst they won two wars singlehanded.
In the early nineteen hundreds fashionable and exotic Arabs fueled British fantasies of greatness... In short, British elites were played for fools...they like that feeling - they want the trappings of empire back...
Arab's have 'royalty' loosely based on English royalty. Pomp, circumstances and bullshit...
Israel's an unashamed democracy... they're real - with limited delusions of grandeur. Now you tell me where would pompous and vain phonies feel more 'comfortable'? Israel or some 'palace' in the desert?
