People who bring up Irgun fighting the British LOVE to forget how that was a betrayal empire that did so much to mass migrate European Jews to Palestine, help them clear out Palestinians from land, and create state institutions that favored Jewish immigrants.
It was only when Arab revolts made the British barely try to implement the full Balfour Declaration (it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine) and try to protect Arabs from Irgun terrorism that they became the enemy.
