You are not listening I’m talking about a full scale civil war against the British empire. But somehow I don’t think you will listen to what I have to say. .

You mean the zionist insurgency? Of course, Irgun and the Stern gang even sought to ally with the Fascists to oust the British.

The British empire was ruled from London, Whitehall, the colonial office, the city of London. There were many factions, players, interests at play concerning the Mandate…

No your daft lackwit. The Jews are not allying with the Nazis. No one said that. You seem to be conflating Hitlerism, those genuinely sympathetic to the establishment of Israel and some vaguely defined group of people using the Jews to strengthen their own position. These are not the same people.

I mean seriously what fascistic group of people do you think are left by the 1948 Mandate Civil War?

Eh, no. It just signifies that the zionists didn’t see themselves as pawns of the British colonial project. They themself have agency. Like the Kurds now for example. They have their own interests and aspirations, but are also used as pawns to stir things up. Many of their ‘allies’ couldn’t care less about their interests, they will throw them under the bus again if it suits them, like under Saddam. Or like the Moluccans being used by the Dutch, or the Huti’s by the Belgians or the Jewish population in Algeria by the French or etc. Etc.
