(This is what my first post was on paper)
On page 59 through 61 the incident that Ghada was talking about was brought about by the Irgun organization. They were group of Jewish people who resorted to acts of terror and violence to try to get the Jewish state fully Jewish. Many of their acts were on Arabian people but from 1939 onwards they attacked many British officers and soldiers stationed in the area. They used bombs for many of their attacks, placing them in crowded areas such as movie theaters and marketplaces. When they attacked British military, many of the fights turned to shootouts. The most violent acts that the Irgun gang performed was the bombing of the King David Hotel and the Deir Yassin massacre. The "big brother" of the Irgun was the Haganah, who are more of a politically inclined group. One of the more atrocious acts of the Irgun was the hanging and booby trapping of two British officers. When another officer went to cut them down, a mine underneath them detonated in their faces. The Irgun also had many battles with British soldiers during the time when most Palestinian people were being pushed out of what is now Israel.
