3. To everyone defending the left's actions
Yes, with just 20% of the arms on the Altalena going to Irgun fighters and the rest (80%), going to Haganah, no doubt that posed such a dire threat to the entirety of the Haganah... It's funny how you all rip on some of the nonsense the ultra-religious do (and you are absolutely correct), but when you engage in such magical ludicris thinking yourselves, you are completely blind to the irrationality of your thoughts. You people are quite delusional when you state Begin would have led Israel to civil war. Anything but. He was a true nationalist.
The real truth is likely far more disturbing. Irgun had contingencies in Jerusalem, and those arms could have gained us far more ground against the British front over there, who were backing strongly the Jordanians in a regrettably successful operation to prevent completion of Jerusalem. The consequences were the loss of Jerusalem, the ethnic cleansing of Jewish populations in those regions, and a protracted conflict that till this day causes us grief and immense political headaches. We would not need Trump to declare anything had those weapons gone where they needed to, and the left was not pimping out our sovereignty to Anglo-Saxon interests, out of a mixture of self-loathing, fear, and obsessive hunger for absolute power in their camp. 1948 saw many population shifts and in today's day and age, it could never be done. There would be no such thing as East Jerusalem and certainly not with an exclusively Arab population.
Begin deserved to be our second prime minister, or one far earlier, than the time he ascended to his rightful position.
And for the record, the left still engages in social terrorism against the right. If you have intimate experience in some of the fields dominated till this very day by the left, you'll see it.
This proclimation by Netanyahu is a mere drop of recompense/restitution in a disgraceful, embarassing, and humiliating to the Jewish spirit, that those leftist extremists put on us.
Makes no difference in any event, there's no Begin or Shamir to lead us. Those types can't grow in the world environment today, and any semblance to them is stiffled quite quickly.
