Debunking common myths about the pre-state Jewish militia organizations Etzel and Lehi
"Etzel and Lehi were the first to introduce terrorism to the Middle East"
The Etzel as a militia did not exist before 1937 and the Lehi before 1940,
Arab terrorist gangs like the Black Hand had been active for a decade at this point
"The Etzel and Lehi wanted to exterminate/expel the Arabs"
None of them had an official ideology of getting rid of the Arabs, in fact, they hoped to cooperate with them against the British

How Norman Finkelstein @normfinkelstein Lies in his book "The Holocaust Industry" in order to create the false narrative that Holocaust survivors and Israel "deceived" the world for money
>>>
example 1#
He alleged that an American envoy, Stuart Eizenstat, put the total number of slave laborers, Jews and non-Jews, still alive at "perhaps 70-90,000"…This would put the total number of still living Jewish slave labours at 14,000-18,000 (20% of 70-90,000)."
>>>
So Finkelstein is claiming that 14,000-18,000 surviving Jewish slave laborers magically increased to 135,000 within months, almost 10x increase, thanks to "the deception of the Holocaust industry" to take more money
