Your profile suggests that you’re in Israel, where groups like the Irgun are celebrated as national heroes. Violent struggle against perceived oppressors shouldn’t be an unfamiliar concept.
You are correct, the Irgun are credited along with two other organisations as being the physical protectors of our people during a time when we were more typically known for being slaughtered. However, very few people here are extremists that celebrate the Irgun. Quite the opposite, the Irgun is famous internationally because they were the violent exception to the norm.
Israel was founded by leftists, only in the late 1970s did Israel turn to the right. The Irgun was certainly not representative of those values which are typically associated with our people.
