a personal hell i of the war began like the birds to flee to palestine. the english ships, they just got us didn't allow us to come to our country. the british, the ruling or sovereignty in palestine had decided to put a stop to the tide of jewish immigration.

a tide had been swelling since fascism had begun its march across europe. in 1936 local arab objections to both british colonial rule and mass jewish immigration to their homeland erupted into a full scale revolt. the jewish settlements in palestine had been protecting themselves against sporadic arab attacks. with a defense militia, the hug in $36.00 in the face of

bailey and suddenly it dawned on the younger generation that unless they are ready to undertake the military effort in the country, the jews won't be able to stay so defensive. athos changed into an offensive resource a more extreme groups now emerged from the hacking up called in the national military organization in the land of israel. in march 1937 gun launched a series of fun attacks against the arab cafes, markets, buses,

26th of august, 1939. it started its own war against the british killing 2 offices in a boma 6 days later, the whole world descended into war the gun immediately called off its campaign so as not to hinder britain's fight against what they called the jews greatest enemy in the world. german nazi is but within it gone, a splinter group now emerged led by a man determined to fight on a home stern thought. the griffin was a greater enemy of the jews than,

than the germany. and he wanted to continue to fight the british during the 2nd world war. in order to expel them. in july 1940 stern created a new militant break away from aragon, called lassie or fighters for the freedom of israel. to the british, it was simply the stun guy, the the fate of fulton, bernard dot, would be determined by these men. they wanted the british out of the middle east. the germans wanted the british out of the middle east. so he decided to make common cause with the nazis tried to make contact with them in the stumble. nazis weren't interested, nothing came of it. it was

a mixture of stupidity and fanaticism. they thought that they had to join the enemy of england in order to obtain help for the goals in palestine, which was just stupid. they were very brave and very stupid people. in february 1942. during his arrest in tel aviv by the british. abraham stem was shot dead. mm. on the 6th of november 1944 less. he commanded now by yet sac, shamir struck back in an unexpected place. yeah. hi rose. i to assassins killed, lord moines, the british minister resident in the middle east,

to the jews. the betrayal now seemed even greater for having won one war, britain founded so fighting the this time against jewish militant groups. the what developed the kind of competition the left was the most extreme. they're gone have will come more to aim in order to compete with the left and the hunger now became more extreme in order to compete with able to go. and so the whole process became more stream the violence and

death ride the ancient streets of jerusalem. ah, terrorism, i've been job and tell you has been the chief outward sign of a critical situation. palestine continues to present one of the most obstinate problem. as of today, i am responding with a draconian counter insurgency campaign. the british arrested 1000 imposing the convicted insurgents in response is gone under the command of another future israeli prime minister manor, him bacon,

bombed the king david hotel. the main base for the british administration in palestine killing british arabs and jews alight by october 1947 jewish underground groups had killed 127 british service. men have been instructed by his majesty's government to announce that in the absence of a settlement they must plan for an early withdraw the british forces and of the british administration from palestine. oh, britain had washed its hands of a problem of its own making. the fate of palestine now lay with the

united nation. ah, ah. in november 1947, i think the un general assembly adopted resolution 181, recommending the palestine the partitioned into separate arabs and jewish states. news of the united nation to recommend petition brings my nation among the jewish communities and rosa for lobby. this was the 1st ever international recognition of the long hoped for jewish state. but the extremists saw no cause for celebration. they thought that the jews had absolute right to the whole of

palestine. and the borders of the jewish state shouldn't be defined by any foreign bodies like the united nation. so they wanted greater israel, as it existed in biblical time. in april 1948, going to forces began a military operation to take control of arab areas assigned to the jewish state. under the partition plan extremist militias joined the effort, but soon they had overstep the mark. left to that is the stern gang and you're good. and has the british call them participated in one famous atrocity which was of course conquest and massacre which occurred in the village of the area seen on the 9th of april, 1948,

about 100. the villagers were killed. most of them, a civilian ah, with the departure of the last high commissioner of palestine, the british mandates was over ah, that same day and tel aviv david ben curry and declared the establishment of the state of israel. ah, ah,

the celebrations would be short lived within hours, the egyptian air force would form the capital of the newly formed states. i, at the same time, the armies of egypt, jordan, syria, and iraq crossed the borders into palestine. whereas the maintenance of modern security and just as an urgent question which concerned new york, united nations placed a major challenge to its power and prestige. the 1st arab israeli working on the 20th of may 1948. the united nations named its 1st mediator in palestine. ah, the man who would take on the task was count holcombe,

adopt hero of the white buses. he was from noble family. he was a relative of the king and for which he could deal very good with people meeting high to try and make him compromise to certain things like that. at the end of may 1948 bernard are left paris for the middle east seen off by his american born wife, estelle in appointed the echo of the white buses. campaign, bernard dogs had his specially chartered plain painted wipes with un and red cross marked into the fire account is caused by united nations. as last hope mediator is more time record admin, intermediate raises him above the station,

the part event in tennessee. his 1st task is his 1st task was to bring about the fire which needed that he went to the different capital in kind of shuttle diplomacy. which he really invented because everybody was very impressed about his energy. is that the temple we used when he was traveling around and you can see he made all possible efforts to bring these these pyre about. after only 10 days in the middle east, thundered dot scored his 1st success. on the 9th of june, he announced a full week truce if it had been fruit, better, politician, knowing all the trick, i'm not sure he would have succeeded better because they were surprised of his total openness. he never had this diplomatic roundabouts on the time,

and many people say that that was clear advantage by the end of june. after weeks of diplomacy been, adults was finally able to unveil a new plan for peace in palestine. then adult was released and he did not want to abandon the un partition plan, but he wanted to modified to 15 with a new reality on the ground. and if you look at the map of the u. m partition plan, it doesn't make much sense. it's 3 jewish enclaves with kissing points, and then there is the arab state which is also fragmented. so basically what he wanted to do is to give the jews the hall of the galilee in the north and

the coastal plain, but to deprive them of the neg give them to give the name gave to the arab state. but there was not to be an independent palestinian state by this time. the arab part of palestine was to be incorporated with trans jordan. despite there being no independent states allocated to the palestinians, bernard dots proposals did include one key provision for them. the right of return for refugees expelled by force from their homes in israeli controlled areas, but not ss number form. how can i know the proposed right of return? and he managed to obtain a un resolution that this is a humanitarian right that can be ignored with no limits or numbers

a complete and you need to try to return and burn adults plan included one more provision which would outrage the israelis in his 1st piece plan which i think was his biggest mistake. he said that jerusalem would be inside the arab state because there was no possibility whatsoever to have that used. agreed to something like that. under burn adults plan. judaism is most holy place would come under the control of the arrows . the jewish militants decided they must fight on in defense of jerusalem. the campaign against thunder dot was building and plans were soon being laid for killing the count.
