So, who is complaining about Arafat now?
>>>

Arafat signed Oslo. Europe is complaining that Israelis are trying to topple Arafat or defend themselves, why? What is wrong with war when peace failed?

The big difference

between the current terrorist activity of the pals and that of the Jewish revisionist movement in the 1940's is that the first is supported by the great majority of the Pals as well as their 400 Million Middle East Arab brethren, when the latter was a very small fraction of the Jewish settlement in Israel. One, the Lehi, numbered only a few dozen and the other, the Etzel had a couple of hundred followers. Both were outlawed by the mainstream Jewish population. Even so, these movements never targeted innocent people and never murdered women and children like the Pals do.

It is true that in every national or religious struggle there is always the extremist movement. In the Pals case though, the extreme is the norm, fully supported and financed by the leadership. So do not make these comparisons anymore.

<<The European Zionist terrorists were killing an average of two British soldiers/policemen a day in the early 1940s. They should have been hung.>>

Typical Pal propaganda! According to your statement, the British lost 730 soldiers every year or 3,500 in the "early 1940s" in the hands of Jewish terrorists. The truth is that from 1940 to 1945 over 30000 Jewish men and women of the "Zionist" movement in Israel enlisted to the British army to fight Nazi Germany. During the same time the Pals, headed by Jerusalem Mufti Husseini, supported Hitler and called on him to come to Palestine and kill all the Jews there.

The total number of British soldiers killed in Palestine during more than 25 years of mandate was less than 300, many of them killed by the Arabs during the 1929-1936 riots.
