    Lehi were a bunch of fucking assholes but they weren’t Nazi sympathizers as such. It was an “enemy of my enemy” deal - They’d fight the British in Palestine if the Nazis provided support. I think they knocked it off after word got out about the Holocaust.

      There is a fairly grim side to the holocaust and these sorts of Zionists, that has become tainted by revisionist history and people with various intentions trying to expose or bury a sordid history, but many prominent Zionists saw the tragedy as a small price to pay to get what they wanted.

      You might pick up that this sort of ruthless sacrifice really sets the tone as far as explaining the atrocities of the next 80+ years.
