And to do what the Zionists did in the maabarot is spiritual murder. The architect of that churban was none other than a largely forgotten Zionist bureaucratic cipher by the name of Yaakov Sarid OLBM. His son is the notorious Yossi Sarid.
Besides, the Zionists played favorites with the visas they did have, so that according to the hepech haTorah views posted above they were murderers indeed.
Any speculation about deHaan HYD and the nature of his mission, or its chances for success is just that. Objective accounts show that his chances were nil, and that he was a bit of a character to put it mildly. And he was trying to prevent further Jewish bloodshed at the hands of the Arabs, who at one time could have been negotiated with to allow for some sort of Jewish settlement with no real sovereignty.
DeHaan had no power to do anything. He was a shtadlan who was trying to save Jewish lives in a Torah way. The Zionists with their chutzpah and gaava felt themselves above Torah chas vesholom and wanted to show they were boss. So, they resorted to murder. Shows who the armed robbers invading the land really were. Human beings negotiate. Gangsters resort to murder.
The murder of Jacob deHaan HYD is a true fact.
So is the murder of the Altalena crew, who at least had true ahavas eretz Yisroel even if it was guided by secularism of Jabotinsky and not Torah. Begin, the commander of the Irgun, had some connection to Avinu shebashamayim according to any biographies I have read. In fact his retirement from public view and descent into depression at the end of his life shows his regret for his many mistakes while in office. Not a tzaddik, to be sure, but far above any other of the misleaders when it came to personal standards of decency and at least some connection to the Jew he really was.
The Labor/Haganah crowd were pure secularists and defilers of the Land. And don’t tell me about the few token religious Haganah fighters. They prove nothing.
