The similarities between the #Irgun and #Hamas go way beyond "yeah, but they bombed civilians too" – the way the British reacted sounds weirdly familiar?

"The #Jewish community of #Palestine cannot be absolved from responsibility for the long series of outrages culminating in the blowing up of a large part of the Government offices in the #KingDavidHotel causing grievous loss of life. Without the support, active or passive, of the general Jewish public the #terrorist gangs who actually carried out these criminal acts would soon be unearthed, and in this measure the Jews in this country are accomplices and bear a share of the guilt."
