Health,
One more point, I happen to sympathize more with the Menachem Begin approach that trying to negotiate with and appease the British and Arabs into giving the Jews a state would have never worked and was a waste of time, but it wasn’t so clear to most people right away.
They figured (much like you do) that the British and Arabs weren’t really against the idea of giving the Jews a state and that they just had some valid “concerns” about the “stability” of the region and that if we would just compromise with them they would give us a state.
It took the British doing their best to flood E”Y with hostile Arabs while enforcing white paper after white paper only on Jewish immigration for most people (including Ben Hecht whose innacurate book perfidy which he put out to discredit Ben Gurion’s governement becasue he beleived that the Irgun (the people you call “Jewish Terorists”) should have been in charge of Israel is loved by people like you) to realize that trying to negotiate with the British was not going anywere
