Blew up hotels? no, they blew up part of the King David hotel which the British had turned into a military headquarter. Anyway, what's wrong with you, idiots in Toronto?

And who did the British support after the war, not the Jews for sure. They armed and trained the Jordanians even had active officers amongst them. And all the while confiscating what meagre weapons the Jews had left in order to defend themselves. You have to understand what this Yishuv was all about. They were Jews but in name, they despised Judaism and Jews that followed it. The Lechi and Stern whist still seculars amongst them wasnt brought up on all the bolshevik labour ideals. Menachem Begin was not only a true mench and a true Jew he would never shoot at his own fellow Jews. Thats why he let the Yishuvs 'Saison' go without response. But these leftists had no hesitation in shooting at their fellow Jews or at the least inform on them to the British to do the dirty work. And the terrible irony is that this very same trend continues unto this very day. Only the leftists are prepared to kill and beat up jews. Armonah was a typical example of it. Not to mention the amount of state sanctioned murder of Jews that Barry Chamish talks about.

# 59 is absolutely correct. You are the ignorant one.

before going off on this legendary person who devoted his life to this country and Jerusalem, there are alot more facts I'd like to know. All these foaming-at-the-mouth talkbackers who usually believe roughtly 1/3 of what they read on this website, ready to enter Kollek's name into eternal damnation as an enemy of the Jewish people. Get a grip. What Kollek did exactly - and in an acurate form, when he did it, his reasons for doing it, the nature of Palestine in the 1930's and 40's are all what is needed for a balanced report of his activities.

your history!

They seem to allow more freedom of speech here then used to be, my posts were often censored or not posted at all. Did they change staff or woke up to themselves? curious.

Where the hell did you learn this?

Read this months issue of ERETZ magazine.The vast majority of those slaughtered at the King David were innocent Arab and Jewish civilians,No surprise there.Killing civilians was what Irgun was all about.Of course I expect you fanatics to ignore historical reality,But that wont change the fact that Irgun and Stern Gang were the Hamas of their day,

If "the Irgun and Lehi were like today's Hamas", how come you are so sympathetic to Hamas' cause but you are foaming at your mouth when mentioning those two Israeli patriotic organizations? Obviously you know absolutely nothing about the subject, but suffering of mental disorder called "liberalism", you jump on any opportunity to bash your own people. (And BTW, don't call yourself Jewish, you are a insult and disgrace to the Jewish People).Stay in Canada, and get yourself a nice praying rug! After all, your buddies demand to make the Sharia the law of your great country.

If he iis a Traitor he should be formally shuned, any and all reference to him in Israli society including all public works should be stricken. If he did contribute to the death or imprisonment of his fellow Jews all his properties and wealth to his aires should be sized and give to the state or the poor. If the documents are real then let it be known.

Obviously he was probably the point of contact between the Yishuv and MI5. The Yishuv must have known, as it was part of their activities against the Irgun and the Stern Gang. Besides the knowledge that Kollek was the point of contact, what's the big deal?

get a freakin grip! He opposed the murder of innocent women and children. Just like Ben Gurion did.

It would be nice to know. I believe his family, living well at a high level of style and honor should be disgraced, and have their wealth stripped from them. This is a tragic theme that is unfortunately not unique in israel.

not against Teddy's estate or his family.

he didn't get a single penny from it.

Ronen, maybe you would care to publish any other findings !! A Jew who hands a fellow Jew to Goyim is simply known as a MOSER with all that that means.

I already put forward a historical comment at No.32. I would only add that Teddy Kollek was not an independent agent. From 1941 he was an intelligence officer of the Haganah acting under the orders of the Jewish Agency and its chairman, David Ben Gurion. In early 1948 he was entrusted by BG to procure badly needed modern weapons in the USA for the future IDF.The attempt now, 60 years on, to reduce his stature to that of a common criminal purely on the basis of a poorly researched article, is regrettable.

I would assume, he was not the only one and got the o.k. from the Yishuv during the time of the British Mandate.

Just a different crime – the crime of disposing of the political opponents, the crime the Left so easily commits, always assured of its rightness, nether bothered my moral imperatives. The fact that Yishuv thought that handing over Irgun fighters to the British in hopes that British show appreciation does not make them or what they did right. As a matter of fact they were wrong on most of the issues most of the times and history abundantly proves it.

Kollek collaborated but it doesnt say if he was ordered to do so or if the Jewish Agency knew of his collaboration. But it is not suprising that he did so, he was always a leftist who united Jerusalem just so it could be given away to the Palestinians.

May his name be forever preserved in Jewish history as a vile collaboprator with the enemies of Jewish heros.. SCORPION , his codename seems perfectl for this viper.

Some people are missing the point. He was doing this between 1945-1947. He was doing it for the money and other stuff. Read Sharon's autobiography. Similar perks were offered Sharon's family by Sharon's Father refused and told his not to do this, no matter what are the perks. Many honest people who were not right-wing Zionists refused to cooperate with British-Arabs policies. Kollek, on the other hand, went way above what the rest of far left did to destroy the Jewish underground.

Hiding behind a "flag" that is not yours and for sure not representing all "Yisraelis" is not right! With slogans like: "Only the leftists are prepared to kill and beat up jews." (#62 message) some of your messages will not be put on the Ynet. That's the way it goes. As if you care why some of your probable slander and other not known probable demogogic filth was not published.... First, show yourself and sign your TB's with your REAL name and place of living and than we all can relate to what YOU are saying or what YOU are trying to make clear to all of us.

Since Many Jews were tortured and some killed because of kolleks actions, the families of Jews must be compensated by Kolleks family. He was not a small kid after WWII, and he knew very well what he was doing.
