Israel or the ‘Stern Gang’being much smaller)faced the same
problem as the MPLA. The Jewish community (Yishuv) formed
less than half the population of Palestineand was subject to
even greater suspicion on the part of the Arab majority than
were the Chinese ‘squatters’ in Malaya. But the Irgun were hard-

multi-ethnic Palestinian political system. They made no effort to
appeal to Arab opinionand indeed were ready to attack Arabs
as well as the British administrators of Palestine. Britain exer-

‘national home for the Jewish people in Palestine’but by the
Second World War this had proved an impossible compromise.

line Zionists believed that Britain was abandoning them in face
