Did you know that Menachim Begin, the first prime minister of Israel, was the leader of Irgun? 'As head of the Irgun, he targeted the British in Palestine,[3] with a notable attack being the King David Hotel bombing. Later, the Irgun fought the Arabs during the 1947–48 civil war in Mandatory Palestine and, as its chief, Begin was described by the British government as the "leader of the notorious terrorist organisati…

The first prime minister of Israel was David Ben-Gurion. Targeting the British during the Mandate was an act of anti-colonization, not unlike other factions that wanted independence from the British at that time, and the Irgun did warn the British before hand but they did not evacuate the hotel which was the central offices of the British Mandate and the Headquarters of the British Army

I see you're linking to some debunked articles about the gaza starvation hoax. Do you seriously think Israel had a policy of starvation? Obesity is common in gaza; there are restaurants everywhere; there aren't any pictures of starving families; all the pictures of starving kids have turned out to be of kids with serious pre-existing conditions; there have been only about 200 malnutrition related deaths in two years…

And now we're onto gish galloping - word of advice that this tactic works best while speaking; when typing, lobbying a multitude of bullshit claims at a rapid pace doesn't have quite the same effect. >Obesity is common in gaza This maybe works as a claim if humans exist in non-linear time where 2020 and 2025 are perceived simultaneously. In fact, though, it's not a claim that any current data evinces. >there are rest…

"How could there possibly be "restaurants everywhere" after that?" There are plenty of restaurants in Gaza, as a quick Google search will reveal, so this is a question for you to ask yourself. Perhaps your premise is wrong.

You're right, there actually are lots on Google Maps. Except some of them would be beyond the Yellow Line, in the area where the IDF troops are and which is strictly off-limits for civilians. And none of them have any reviews that are newer than from two years ago. (Compare with the markers on the Israeli side where the latest reviews are often just weeks or days old)

Yeah good catch on the first Prime Minister bit. But let's hear you try to whitewash the Deir Yassin massacre. Irgun were wicked.

Irgun had nothing to do with Deir Yassin, it was the Etzel and Lehi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8bkqqvoGpc
