Interesting that “These Jewish “leaders”, in 1947, had no problem with using nazi marked K-98 Mauser rifles to defend themselves from the moslem hordes.
Those “leaders” were nowhere near Mandatory Palestine in 1947. They were either fundraising, or choosing sides between factions, or ignoring the whole thing.
The people who did the fighting had to buy those Mausers on the black market in Europe, and then sneak it past the UN arms blockade, and give them to raw immigrants just arrived off the boats from the DP camps in Cyprus and elsewhere. No training, some emaciated, some with no command of modern Hebrew, just Yiddish or Lushon Koidesh.
1947, G-d was at the vanguard, not these slimy so-called “leaders”. Only He could have pulled the whole thing off, given the difficulties.
