Thanks for the above. If my memory of what followed concerning the position of the Brits is correct, here is how the story unfolded :

When they were catching people from Irgun or Stern, they trialed them and hanged them. ( till the last day, Nov 30 1947 UN resolution)

The Jewish fighters had found a countermeasure to the hangings.

For each death, they kidnapped an British Officer, undressed him to his underwear only, put him in a locked metal cage and left him in an early morning downtown.
For the Englishmen, that did it.

Quite civilized. For both parties, IMO.
