Jewish Resistance Groups before the establishment of the State of Israel, and the ‘Terrorists’ that became the leaders of the State of Israel
All the four Jewish Resistance Groups merged into the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) when the State of Israel was established

Haganah. The Haganah was led by several key figures, including David Ben-Gurion, who later became the first Prime Minister of Israel. Other notable leaders included Yitzhak Ben Zvi, Moshe Sneh and Yigal Allon. It was founded in 1920 to defend the Yishuv's presence in the region, and was formally disbanded in 1948, when it became the core force integrated into the Israel Defense Forces shortly after the Israeli Declaration of Independence.

What could Israel learn from its history regarding the occupation of Palestine?
What could we learn from dozens of countries that fight to become independent countries?
Is it possible to hold a big population under occupation without suffering from military resistance activity?
The late grandfather of my son, Daniel, was a member of the Palmach – one of the Jewish militant resistance groups – like many others from his generation that were members of one of the four Jewish military resistance groups: Haganah, Palmach, Lehi, and Etzel, like the late Israeli PM Yitzhak Shamir, who was a member of Lehi and was considered a ‘terrorist’ by the British Empire during his activity in Lehi against the British army that occupied Palestine as a colony. The four Jewish militant resistance groups were considered ‘terrorist organisations’ due to their nature militant activity against the British army, yet Lehi and Etzel were considered more militant compared to Haganah and Palmach, such as Lehi, which was responsible for the assassination of Lord Moyne (the British Minister of State for the Middle East), while Etzel (Irgun) was responsible for the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. Still, the four Jewish military resistance groups – Haganah, Palmach, Lehi, and Etzel – play an important role in ending the British occupation of Palestine and for the creation of the State of Israel as an independent country. This kind of resistance occurred in many British colonies worldwide, so all the British colonies with significant populations became independent countries. If we look today at the remaining colonies worldwide, then only very small population territories are still colonies because if you have a territory with less than 100K, then you have the advantage of running it under a big country, rather than as a tiny country. Besides, if you have a tiny population, you lack the resources to create significant resistance to fight for an independent country, which is not the case if you have a population of millions of people.
Freedom is one of the most important elements for any nation and for any person, like the Jews that celebrate every year the Passover to mark the Jewish freedom from King Pharaoh in Egypt.
