이스라엘, 팔레스타인, 이란, 터키, 인도, 월남, 쿠바: The Zionist Underground and the End of British Rule in Palestine

The Zionist Underground and the End of British Rule in Palestine.🇵🇸

Researching this actually blew my mind a little as it took a minute to get my brain around what i was reading, I'm not going to lie.

So let's take it back - way back.

Before the creation of Israel in 1948, Britain governed the territory known as Mandatory Palestine under a League of Nations mandate following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.

During the final years of British rule, several Zionist underground organisations launched an armed campaign aimed at forcing Britain to withdraw and allowing the establishment of a Jewish state.

The main militant organisations involved were:

Irgun

A nationalist paramilitary organisation that carried out bombings, assassinations and attacks on British military and administrative targets.

Lehi (also known as the Stern Group)

A smaller and more radical group responsible for assassinations and attacks against British officials and infrastructure.

Haganah

The largest Jewish paramilitary organisation in Palestine. While it generally operated differently from Irgun and Lehi, it sometimes cooperated with them during coordinated operations against British infrastructure.

British authorities at the time officially described these organisations as terrorist groups, while some supporters viewed them as fighters in an anti-colonial struggle against British rule.

The period of violence between 1944 and 1948 is commonly referred to by historians as the Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine (1944–1948).

Timeline of Major Attacks on British Rule

1944

Assassination of Lord Moyne

In November 1944, British minister Walter Guinness, 1st Baron Moyne, the UK Minister of State in the Middle East, was assassinated in Cairo by members of Lehi.

He was the highest-ranking British official killed by the Zionist underground.

1945

Toward the end of 1945 militant groups began intensifying their campaign against British rule.

Targets included:

railways

bridges

police stations

government buildings

immigration control facilities

Several groups briefly cooperated in a coordinated campaign known as the Jewish Resistance Movement.

1946

Night of the Bridges

A coordinated sabotage operation destroyed bridges connecting Palestine to neighbouring territories, disrupting British military and transport infrastructure.

King David Hotel Bombing

Event: King David Hotel bombing

In July 1946, militants from Irgun planted explosives in the basement of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the British administrative headquarters.

The explosion caused massive destruction.

Casualties:

91 people killed

28 British

41 Arabs

17 Jews

It remains one of the deadliest attacks against British authority during the mandate.

1947

Violence escalated sharply.

Acre Prison Break

Irgun fighters attacked Acre prison and freed dozens of imprisoned militants.

Kidnapping and Execution of British Sergeants

Two British soldiers, Clifford Martin and Mervyn Paice, were kidnapped by Irgun and later hanged after Britain executed imprisoned militants.

The killings provoked widespread outrage in Britain.

1947–1948

By this point the situation had become increasingly difficult for Britain to control.

Britain announced it would end its mandate and refer the issue of Palestine to the United Nations.

On 14 May 1948, the state of Israel was declared.

What Happened to Members of the Underground

Following independence, members of these militant organisations moved into mainstream Israeli politics and state institutions.

Former Irgun Leadership

Menachem Begin

Leader of Irgun during the insurgency against British rule.

He later founded the Herut political party and eventually became Prime Minister of Israel (1977–1983).

Former Lehi Leadership

Yitzhak Shamir

A senior member of Lehi during the insurgency.

He later entered Israeli intelligence and politics and became Prime Minister of Israel twice in the 1980s and early 1990s.

From Haganah to State Leadership

The largest Zionist organisation, Haganah, became the foundation of Israel’s armed forces.

Its leadership included:

David Ben-Gurion

Head of the Jewish Agency and political leader associated with Haganah.

He became Israel’s first Prime Minister in 1948.

In Summation

All of these events took place in the closing phase of World War II, while Britain was still fighting Nazi Germany across Europe.

So lets understand it right, before the war had even fully ended — before Britain had finished fighting the regime responsible for the persecution and murder of millions of Jews — militant Zionist underground groups had already begun attacking British officials and infrastructure in Mandatory Palestine.

By 1944 British ministers were being assassinated.

By 1946 British administrative headquarters were being bombed.

By 1947 British soldiers were being kidnapped and executed.

This happened at a moment when Britain was exhausted by war — a conflict that had cost millions of lives and devastated the British economy.

At the same time Britain was enforcing immigration limits in Palestine, attempting to manage tensions between the existing Arab population and large numbers of Jewish refugees arriving from Europe.

The events themselves are not widely discussed in Britain today and give context to who was originally labelled the terrorist.

And that is significant when today the people in Palestine fighting for their land and their freedom are often labelled terrorists, while the earlier history that led to the creation of the state is rarely discussed.

Understanding that history does not settle the argument, but it does raise a question many people still ask when looking at this period:

Who gets to decide who is called a terrorist — and when?

#FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Phil Gundy

My dad was in Palestine fighting those people, before being demobbed.

Ian Young

If Israel had stayed within the borders outlined at the birth of Israel, most of the conflict and wars would never have happened, the zionist want a greater Israel and that is the problem, they are prepared to commit genocide to get it. Another thought, the Nazis murderer half of all the Gypsy population in Europe, you gloss over that fact as if it was just a sideline.

Dudley Digger

I'm at a loss to understand why there is so much unswerving support for them in the UK given the history. What do they do to deserve it, it has to involve money otherwise why??

Hugh Davis

And there was netanjahu ranting about how Britain recognising Palestine was rewarding terrorism!

Alan Frost

Israel doesn't give a shit 💩 about western values or anything.

You disagree with Zionist, they will hunt you down and take your life.

Maybe that's why Politicians around the western world won't criticise Israel!!!

Gary Ashley

Wife's uncle was in Jerusalem when King David hotel was bombed and he was pulling teenage Arab girls bodies out of the rubble,hated everything to do with the men who did that and went on to become prime ministers of Israel

David James John O'Sullivan

The zionist hung 2 british Sgt.s and booby trapped the bodies

Martin Benson

George Orwell’s book Animal Farm was about one tyrannical regime being replaced by a regime that became tyrannical, using exactly the same methods OR WORSE!!!!

What an appropriate analogy for Israhell’s appropriation of Nazi methodology they’re now using!!!!

“The creatures outside looked from Zionist to Nazi, and from Nazi to Zionist, and from Zionist to Nazi again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

Just like Nazi Germany, Zionist Israhell has signed its own death warrant.

My Father was one of the post war 46-48 conscripts sent to Palestine. Couldn’t understand how Terrorist with wanted dead or alive £500 on their heads became prime ministers, and the world accepted them, he never did. And although he never spoke of the terror he experienced, he had stories of his time there, as old soldiers do.

Steve Sharp

I have said for a long time, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. How can fighting for the land your people have been displaced from be terrorism?

Allan Jones

The background to Palestine is much more complicated than a simple land grab by Jewish outsiders grabbing and occupying land.

One, Jews had always lived in what became Palestine. They were driven out twice, firstly by the Babylonians and secondly and more importantly by the Romans. Millions didn't end up in Europe, North Africa and North America because they fancied a change of scenery.

From the beginning their exile was a succession of pograms, massacres and expulsions. Our country wasn't innocent here, check the 1190 York massacre.

This culminated in the Nazi Holocaust. Don't be misled by the deniers. Hitler's blueprint was Mein Kampf which hardly mentions all the other minorities which the deniers claim made the persecution of the Jews merely part of the German exterminations. The central theme of Nazi Germany's racial policy was officially formulated at the 1942 Wannsee Conference which legitimised the 'Final Solution'. This ghastly piece of paper opened up the industrial scale of the murder of millions of Jewish men, women and children.

Meanwhile back in Palestine the Mufti of Jerusalem was conspiring with Nazi leaders with an aim to solving his local 'problem'.

In short, outside of North America there was nowhere for Jewish people to go to escape certain elimination. Plus, had Nazi Germany managed to win the war ethnic Jewry would have almost certainly have been wiped off the face of the Earth.

The Jews, especially the Jews of Europe saw that history had taught them one thing. They needed their own country with their own laws and their own identity. The answer was vaguely contained in Arthur Balfour's statement in 1917 that Palestine, which at the time was about to become a British administered land, basically a colony was accepted as the site for the establishment of Jewish homeland.

Imagine the reaction of this to the persecuted Jews of Russia, Poland (not that there were left) and the death camps of Eastern Europe. There was a glimmer of hope, merely a glimpse of some sort of security and safety after centuries of being spat on, murdered, forced into ghettos, deprived of citizenship, made into pariahs.

Dangling in front of them a barren, swampy land that they could mould back into the ancestral land that they had been forced out of nineteen hundred years previously.

These were desperate people fighting just to exist and the fact that the British Foreign Foreign Office was pro Arab and with one (if not both) eye on the oil was simply just another obstacle to overcome. they'd been overcoming obstacles for two thousand years and this was the one that they saw as the final hurdle before the long, long race was over. .

Simon Forster

By the israelis..."lest we forget!" 🥲

Martin Benson

The illegal, genocidal, terrorist, Zionist settler cult colony of Israhell HAS NO RIGHT TO EXIST!!!!!

DNA analysis provides irrefutable proof that Palestinians are the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine, sharing DNA with the ancient tribes that have lived in the region for thousands of years!

Only 2% of Zionist Israelis share any DNA with these ancient tribes. The remaining 98% come from elsewhere, mainly Eastern Europe!!!

Mark Chase

Would that be the British who pardened Hussanie a mear five months after being convicted of insitement to murder Jews and made him the Grand Mufti of Jurusilum, the British who made the notorious Black and Tans the police force, the British who put 250,000 Jews in camps so awful the USA president asked the UK to be striped of its mandate, the British who turned back 1000s of Jews trying to escape Hitler despite the mandate to repatriat them resulting in 1000s of deaths, the British who caped Jewish immigrants to 35,000 in direct contravention of the League of Nations mandate and tried to give Israel an Arab majority, The British who gave 75% of the land set aside for the Jews to the Arabs to create Jordan in 1946, the British who slapped an arms embargo on Israiel to prevent it defending its self then left so as to allow the Arabs to wipe them out. The British who brought in Montgomery to assess the chances of the Jews surviving a mass Arab attack and after he said Israel would be wiped out in three weeks, left. Yes I have NO IDEA why the Jews hated them

Finn Mc Cormick

My grandfather and his brothers ended up in Palestine after the war, as a forward tank reconnaissance squad, came across belsen bergen and helped with it's liberation. As he described it the Jews were so grateful to be freed and helped and saved from the nazis in the most horrendous of conditions and situations by the British soldiers. Only for them no more than 11 months later to begin murdering off duty and usually unarmed British soldiers in Palestine, he really resented that. Some 800 British soldiers and innocent civilians were killed in Palestine by Jewish terrorist but it's never mentioned???? Moreover as a captain by this stage was fully aware that pulling out of Palestine would lead to the slaughter of the Palestinian indigenous population. His diaries are so insightful and vivid as well as horrendous and his overall predictions are as accurate today as 1946.

Rob Pilgrim

Israel has always been a terrorist state

Chris East

And they warn us about Islamic attacks??

Gerard McCaffrey

And the didn't even mention the fact that the two British soldiers that were Kidnapped and hung had their bodies boobytrapped

Never trust a Zionist, just look at the Labour Party leader and cabinet all backed by Israel.

Exactly. This was when the real terrorism started and why Queen Elizabeth never entertained them.

Paul Procter

Well Martin,

Would you Adam and Eve it…

- The Irgun was deliberately reorganized “on IRA lines” in the 1930s by Robert Briscoe (an Irish-Jewish IRA veteran, later Dublin mayor), who advised them on subversive tactics and even described himself as holding a “Chair of Subversive Activities against England.”

Source: Robert Briscoe’s - Autobiography, For the Life of Me

And now we see the parallels….

Kim Squires

It misses out the attack on the Palestine police compound in Haifa ... possibly the first time a vehicle was used as a bomb

Martin Benson

Israhell is, and always has been, an illegal, genocidal, terrorist, Zionist settler cult colony!!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

The King David Hotel bombing in Jerusalem on July 22, 1946, was carried out by the Jewish militant underground organization Irgun (Irgun Zvai Leumi), led by Menachem Begin, targeting the British military headquarters housed in the hotel during the British Mandate of Palestine, resulting in 91 deaths!!!!

Never let anyone omit how this all started:

(1) 1917 Edwin Montague's cabinet memo "The Antisemitism of the Present Government" denounces the Ballfour declaration as a violation of the rights of both Palestinians and non-Zionist Jews.

(2) 1922 the UK House of Lords rules that UK support for Zionism in Palestine is illegal under international law and a violation of the rights of Palestinians.

(3) 1924 Jacob Israel de Haan is assassinated by the Haganah for warning Palestinians of the genocidal intentions of Zionists entering Palestine under British protection.

(4) 1933 Haavara Agreement - months after seizing power the Zionist movement becomes the NSDAP regime's first foreign ally, breaking the worldwide boycott organized by non-Zionist Jews, so providing crucial support of the consolidation of totalitarian rule in Germany.

(5) The founders of the precursors of Likud describe themselves as "Fascists".

(6) 1936 Christian Zionist British Army officers create the "Special Night Squads" where they train and lead Jewish Zionist terror groups in massacring Palestinian villages.

(7) During WW2 Jewish Zionist terror groups continue to murder non-Zionist British officials.

( 8 ) 1948 Einstein and 27 other prominent Jewish Americans denounce the founders of Likud as Fascists guilty of acts of genocide.

The Zionists were murdering the British during WW2 while we were fighting against one of the worst antisemitic regimes ever and have since then constantly used the Holocaust as a ‘get out of jail card’ to commit thousands of atrocities against the non Jewish population in the region especially the Palestinians. Zionism is the true issue in the Middle East, after the Nazi Holocaust we said it would never happen again, who would have thought it would be a Jewish nation repeating it this time

One persons terrorist is another person freedom fighter…. However a terrorist is anybody who seeks to affect change/achieve a goal through the use of terror often against a populace rather than straight military targets e.g indiscriminate bombings of market places or places of worship etc.

It's no great secret but it's history which isn't taught and certainly wasn't when I was at school. When Farage talks of teaching real British history, maybe this is what he means 🤔

Gulrukh Khan

William McCabe

Essentially, the difference between "terrorist" and "freedom fighter" depends on who you're killing at the moment. This is nothing compared to the problems with Ireland. In the most recent phase you've got the military wing of the major factions operating as terrorists, and the political wing as government although they frequently pull out of government which shuts that down for a year or so.

As is we've had years of Islamic terrorists killing people here so it's pretty obvious what side we're going to be on in anything like that.

Clearly alot more went on behide the scenes (cough cough, large amounts of £ changed hands) considering the IRA were attacking the British government on a MUCH bigger scale for over 30 years, including on English home soil! Yet the uk government still has complete ownership of my country Northern Ireland still to this day in 2026 🤷‍♂️ The terrorist organisation The Irish Republic Army (IRA) even killed a distance member of the British Royal family "Lord Mountbatten" and still the uk government didn't give budge, so why was Palestine (originally Canaan FYI) treated differently 🧐 and before anyone has a go i consider myself Northern Irish/British as Northern Ireland has existed for like 70 years longer than I've been alive✌️

I’ll say no to racism - stop hating Jews!

Adam Jacobs

And this is what happens when you miss the historical context.

The British Mandate started in 1917 after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. During that time (and for centuries before), Arabs had persecuted the Jews in numerous attacks. One of the worst during the British Mandate was in Hebron in the 1920s where many Jews were killed and the British did nothing to protect them. In fact afterwards, when the Jews asked for more help, the British uprooted those Jews and moved them elsewhere. They lost their homes, their livelihoods, their land. There was no compensation and no magical refugee status to pass down through generations.

Let's be clear: The Arabs had been awful for the Jews, the British didn't help.

As a result of this, the Jews had no choice but to rise up. I don't agree with the tactics they used and agree that some of the groups used tactics I'm absolutely ashamed of. The attack on the King David hotel for example was completely unacceptable. Many Jews feel the same way.

The motivation though is what drove them to it. The status quo in the British mandate was untenable and change was essential. A land for the Jews had been promised in 1917 and there was no evidence that the British were doing anything to facilitate that. Political dialogue had been tried for decades and the second world war was horrendous for the Jewish people who needed the land they had been promised, the land that they had prayed for and the land that Jews have lived in for millenia. None of that takes away from the fact there were also Arabs and other groups living there too. They have always been welcome in the land of Israel to live, to work and to practice their religion peacefully.

If the British had not dawdled in 1917 for so long, could we have had a state of Israel and a state of Palestine earlier. If we had, perhaps many of the Jews in Europe would have moved there in the 1930s and the Holocaust could have been avoided or at least its impact diminished.

Jonathan Braganza

Did you not realise? There is NO difference in the struggle for freedom from oppression, no matter where, when and whom, sadly, after the Balfour declaration the colonisation of the Palestine started, now, i believe the Jewish state of Israel has a right to exist as do I the Palestinian state. It is about time Israel accepts the right of the Palestinians to exist as a state.The destruction of their neighbour and the land grabbing must stop. You cannot subjugate and occupy a nation and not expect resistance and turmoil.

I recommend the books "Cairo in the War" by Artemis Cooper and "To War with Whittaker" by Hermione Ranfurly. Lady Ranfurly was a remarkable woman who became General "Jumbo" Wilson's P.A. Consequently she was in the room at alot of the major meetings with Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin and co. She knew Lord Moyne and has much to say about his assassination. The mystification at the behaviour of some (not all) of the Zionist groups,while the war was actually being fought, is striking.

Andrew Hubert Von Staufer

Sadly, several of the post war Israeli leaders signed up to join the Polish Army being mustered under General Anders in Tashkent in 1942 despite some actually being Belarussians. The Poles gave them a way out from the Russian Gulags after Germany attacked. Once they got to Palestine they deserted and joined The Stern Gang, Irgun etc. Agreed, their families had a terrible time if the Nazis got hold of them, but others continued the fight through Italy to finish the war & help liberate the camps. Those who deserted changed their Azhkenazi and Yiddish names to Hebrew ones. Some, not all, had been the victims of prewar antisemitism, but to the Poles' credit they had been encouraged politically.

When matters came to a head in 1944 with them regarding British troops based in Palestine as the enemy, all trust had broken down.

Even so despite the bombs & murders, a former British Major I knew had both Begin & Shamir in his sights, but was ordered not to shoot. At that point the British didn't really want the Palestinian mandate, but they knew that they had to act as some sort military referee to avoid a worse bloodbath.

Would history have been different if they'd continued serving with the Polish Army in the Italian campaign & made political representation having been involved in freeing the inmates of Dachau, Belsen &tge various ghettoes? I don't know.

Certainly the Poles were completely shafted at the end of the war and it's more than possible that the Eastern European Jews' fate would have been bundled up with them.

There was actually little cohesion among the vast range of experience and opinion a.ong the disposed Jews, but there's little doubt that the more militant zionists such as Begin, Shamir, & Ben Gurion squandered a lot of potential postwar goodwill.

Wars never end neatly & loyalties change at the last minute. We simplify with talk of: Blitz Spirit, Valiant Years, When Britain stood alone etc, but as always, historical reality is complex with few real winners

The British ran away! The 'mandate' was about helping a country that had suffered thousands of years of subjection by the Ottomans, to recover and achieve full statehood. It was Britain's duty to bring Palestine into the newly formed UN as an independent state. Instead they were too soft to those 'poor, persecuted' jews, and rather than sort the problem out and protect the people they had a duty to help, they turned and ran!

Here is an unbiased history

British mandate for Palestine

The British Mandate for Palestine (1920–1948) was a League of Nations administration granted to Britain following the Ottoman Empire's collapse in WWI. Tasked with administering the region and establishing a Jewish National Home, Britain faced intense conflict between Jewish and Arab communities, culminating in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

Yale University

Key Aspects of the British Mandate:

Establishment: Formalized in 1922 (operating from 1920), the mandate tasked Britain with facilitating a Jewish National Home (per the 1917 Balfour Declaration) while supposedly assisting local populations.

Demographic Changes & Tension: Large-scale Jewish immigration from Europe, increasing significantly in the 1930s, caused massive unrest among the Arab population, who viewed it as a threat to their independence.

Conflict and Revolt: The period was marked by rising violence, notably the 1936–1939 Arab Revolt, which the British military suppressed.

End of Mandate: Unable to reconcile the competing demands of Jews and Arabs, Britain turned the problem over to the United Nations in 1947, leading to a partition plan and the termination of the mandate in May 1948.

Legacies: The Mandatory period established the geopolitical borders and the underlying conflicts that define the modern Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Very good and informative post (I'm saying this as someone who is not necessarily Pro-Palestinian). I think everyone (from whatever standpoint) should attempt to research and understand more. It's a very complex issue, and we should avoid simplistic explanations.

I always like to see these 😡 emojis of third columnists zionists living in the west. It’s just a newspaper pointing out the facts. Should stop calling it science fiction for / Zionist fiction zionists fiction.

Most of us are well aware of this and we support Israel and the Jewish people

They are evil and need to be dragged to The Hague. The Palestinians had their homes and land stolen when the British left. They slaughtered whole villages while raping there children in front of there families and then slaughtered them. They have no shame in admitting this.

If they are pointing a gun ot you, they are a terrorist If they are pointing a gun away from you, they are a freedom fighter. Many states were founded by terrorists: the USA, USSR, Cuba, and modern China, to name just a few.

Israel should never have been allowed to come into existence and the leaders of the Zionist terrorist gangs should have been executed or imprisoned not allowed to pose as politicians and statesmen 😡

Nina Greenwood

Zionists were the first real terrorists.
