Also notable is Lehi, a
splinter group from the Irgun [a Zionist terrorist group in the days of British Mandate of Palestine]; the British refused to dignify them with their proper name and instead called them the Stern Gang (after the founder, Avraham Stern). Unlike the Irgun, who chose to leave the British alone on the theory that
the Nazis were worse, Lehi continued to attack British targets throughout
World War II. Indeed, they tried to contact
Those Wacky Nazis (yes, the
Nazis) in 1940 on the theory that Hitler wasn't interested in
killing the Jews, just in sending them out of Europe; Stern apparently wanted to found a Fascist state for all the world's Jews in Palestine (how's that for irony?).
