I wonder, would Israel face the violent opposition it faces today if Israel wasn’t founded through the terrorization of, extermination of, and colonization of the indigenous Palestinian people? It is well documented and widely accepted that groups like the Irgun and Haganah —- led by many of Israels most celebrated figures — resorted to terrorism and genocide to establish the supremacy of the Israelis.
Really? What do you make of former Irgun leader Menachem Begin? FYI he eventually became prime minister and is definitely a celebrated figure in Israel.
How many from the (Lehi)/Stern Gang and Irgun, among others, later achieved high ranking political success in Israel? Both Begin and Shamir come to mind.
Despite siding with the Nazis in WW2, Lehi membership was first granted a general amnesty and later an award was named in their honor.
