Where you aware of possible Stern Gang attempts in 1940 to corroborate with Nazi Germany in return for support in the creation of a Jewish State?

You must remember that Jewish freedom fighters (terrorists?) were killing British soldiers and politicians at the time. Were these machinations and each way bet by Stern and Irgun?

What's my point?

I think that our conservative nature quickly aligns us with Israel through what is a western media perspective.

Form an opinion, have a Western bias(I do) but do be aware and not ignorant of the brutal and not so black and white past of Israel.

Death in Jerusalem a good read as is Stern Gang.

And for Bubbette's perspective just open the Old Testament.

Spotlight

I concur but I do have a slight Western bias.
