Early Zionist fighters did no such things. This is historically incorrect. Early Zionist 'fighters' did indeed target civilians. They made random attacks in Arab marketplaces, killing innocent passers-by. Your assertion of the opposite is an attempt to whitewash history. Anyone can read about the history of the Zionist terrorists. A good book to start is the one by J. Bowyer Bell, an expert in international terrorism. (His main interest is Irish terrorism.) AUTHOR: Bell, J. Bowyer, 1931- TITLE: Terror out of Zion : Irgun Zvai Leumi, LEHI, and the Palestine underground, 1929-1949 / J. Bowyer Bell. PUB. INFO: New York : St. Martin's Press, c1977. DESCRIPTION: xi, 374 p., [14] leaves of plates : ill., maps ; 24 cm. SUBJECTS: *S1 Lohame herut Yisrael. *S2 Irgun tsevai leumi. *S3 Israel-Arab War, 1948-1949. *S4 Jewish-Arab relations--1917-1949. LC CALLNO: DS119.7.B382 1977 For completeness, Arab thuggery of the same period was also rampant, and targeted chiefly Jewish civilians. Can anyone tell me what the opposite of live and let live is? -- =Jim eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu (Jim Eggert)
