Just for those interested in the facts:

1. The Irgun was founded to combat the extensive terror tactics of the Arabs led by the Mufti of Jerusalem (who was btw, an open Nazi as well as a terrorist)

2. They were a small faction (& the Stern Gang was a smaller splinter group).

3. They struck military targets, not civilian.

4. Ben Gurion brought them to heel, ending terror tactics and instituting rule of law in Israel (a young officer named Yitzkhak Rabin blew up a supply ship that was an object of dispute between the Irgun and the Palmakh). An important point notably lacking in Palestinian controlled territories.
