It doesn’t look like you know what you are writing about ...

Swedish diplomat Folke Bernadotte, who was assassinated on Friday 17 September 1948 by members of the armed Jewish Zionist group Lehi did not (!) spend “WW2 SAVING thousands of Jews!”.

He mostly was known as vice-president of the Swedish Red Cross in 1945, who attempted to negotiate an armistice between Germany and the Allies... In April 1945, Heinrich Himmler asked Bernadotte to convey a peace proposal ... The main point of the proposal was that Germany would only surrender to the Western Allies (Great Britain and the United States), but would be allowed to continue resisting the Soviet Union.

Yes, you’re correct, my error. Still a terrible murder though.
