Parallels with the formation of the state of Israel by terrorism. (Including the killing of British soldiers).
The leaders of the Stern Gang went on to become the leaders of the new state, formed by mainly Eastern European immigration into a land held for many generations by other people.
Western guilt at the atrocities carried out by the Nazis on the Jews of Europe (and subsequent response to it by encouraging the settlement of Palestine) had unexpected consequences, the fall-out from which is being felt to this day.
