Ever since then, the word "zionist" sets off alarms in my head.
Presented here is a translation of a rare undated manifesto of the right-wing (also called "Revisionist") Zionist "Irgun" underground organization in Pre-State Israel. The manifesto, a 227 page book printed in Hebrew on half-sized typewritten pages, fastened by nails with a cardboard cover and reinforced spine, is called "The Hebrew War of Liberation (Ideological Foundations)". Its significance lies in the fact that it was produced around July-August 1946 at the height of a period of revolt called the "Hebrew Revolt" of 1944-1948 in Mandatory Palestine against British rule, led primarily by the Irgun itself, and this book is an attempt to explain the causes and justification of the revolt.
Pre-State Israel counted three main underground armed organizations: the "Haganah" (or "Defence"), the main armed formation which closely identified with the Socialist-Zionist views of the Jewish leadership in Palestine (represented by an institution called the "Jewish Agency" and its labor union called the "Histadrut"); the "Irgun" (or "Organization" - a shorthand for the full name "National Military Organization", whose acronym in Hebrew is pronounced "Etzel"), a right-wing "revisionist" Zionist armed formation which broke away from the "Haganah" in 1931 and adopted the ideological views of Ze'ev Jabotinsky; and the "Lechi" (the Hebrew acronym for "Fighters for the Freedom of Israel"), formed in 1940 as a more radical revisionist splinter group from the Irgun.
Militarily, the distinction between these three groups was based on their perception of British rule in Palestine and of Jewish rights under that rule. The Irgun was formed in 1931 in response to the perception of weak Jewish self-defense (by the "Haganah") and insufficient British protection in the face of attacks by Arab marauders during the previous 12 years. The Irgun promoted a more active form of Jewish self defence and retaliation even as against the policies of the Mandatory Government, and so too also promotion of "illegal" immigration to Eretz Israel as against British policies later in that decade. A watershed in military policy between the above three formations occurred at the outbreak of the Second World War: shortly after the outbreak of the war, in 1939, the Irgun suspended activities contrary to British policy and cooperated, together with the "Haganah", with the British in the struggle against Germany. Within the Irgun however, arose a rift against the policy of cooperation with the British, and a new splinter group under Avraham Stern, the "Lechi", was formed. The "Lechi" felt that ongoing British restrictions to Jewish immigration to Palestine were as much a threat to the Jews as the German extermination of them on the European continent, and initiated underground activities against the British from 1940 onwards.
The Irgun detected the changing fortunes of the war relatively early and on 1 February 1944 issued a declaration against the British government in Palestine effectively signalling the beginning of the "Hebrew Revolt" (to be distinguished from the "Jewish Revolt" of 66-73 CE against imperial Rome). From that period onward Irgun and Lechi policies were virtually complimentary to each other, and both fought relentlessly against British immigration restrictions as well as militarily against the armed British and Mandatory forces with operations - many of them "terrorist" in nature in the eyes of the British and some Jews - occurring almost daily. Between November 1945 and September 1946 all three Jewish armed organizations operated in concert against the British, though before and especially afterwards, the Haganah also waged a harsh struggle against the Revisionist formations, fearing their detrimental influence on international public opinion and also of their possible political influence domestically on the Jews of Eretz Israel. The period of the revolt involved the participation of up to 100,000 British soldiers, plus Mandatory police forces and the employment of the elite Special Air Service (SAS). The revolt brought the Jewish-Palestine issue to the fore of international relations and led to the United Nations decision (29 November 1947) to end the Mandate and partition Palestine into two states - one Arab and another Jewish. Though the issue could be debated, it is hard to avoid the idea that the aggressive stance adopted by the Irgun and Lechi is actually what caused the British to leave Palestine and enabled Israel to be founded when it did (hence the significance of the tract presented here).

My pal, the Protoplasmic Traveler. I'd love to hate you, but your pearls of wisdom, cast out to undeserving swinish types like myself, so often crack me up, it's really hard to maintain a grim and determined face.
I'm no expert of high seas pirates. But like with the Old West cowboy or the gallant knights in shining armour, most of what we think we know about these unusual historical characters is based on romantic fantasizing in novels and film, not real life.
Never seen them but know Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" juvenile audience movie franchise have little semblance to the historical pirates of previous centuries.
Fact and Fiction are often very different.

Point taken, agreement reached.
As a matter of fact, I'm one of the few around here who realize that I actually live in Military Government District 10, which is what this area has been since 1865.

In case you aren't aware - warehouses full of documentation, thousands of communications and fund transfer records, vast amounts of testimony and confessions, compiled by a couple dozen countries, some in the Middle East, have determined who attacked the US on Sept 11, 2001, with hijacked planes and the rationale. From all indicators it was an act of terrorism
In fact the self-admitted primary planner, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and four others involved, are about to go on trial in the US.
There is a sub-industry of books, websites, videos, discussion forums, where there are attempts to create doubt that events happened as reported. After 8 years, with thousands worldwide searching for evidence of an alternative scenario, nothing has been found that substantiates a different chain of events.
But human nature being what it is, there are always people eager to believe any theory that supports their particular world view.

It was the Jews, with the lead pipe in the Conservatory.
How ridiculous is it that we still have people making absolute fools of themselves as they claim we don't know who was responsible for 9/11. In order to even consider making such ludicrous statements one has to be either alarmingly ill informed or motivated to deflect blame from the Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists.
We seem to have an arm of people here who are intent on convincing as many as possible that AQ and other Islamist Terror organizations are figments of the govt's imagination.
What motive could they possibly have? Hmmmm. I wonder....

Are there any Canadian Muslim counter parts to the Major serving in Afganistan? Are any of your family or friends serving in Iraq?
Have any been returned dead? Do you worry about attacks at your military bases, like the one at Ft. Hood?
Are the Canadian people worried about any of their cities being nuked?

Hey there is a big star for you my friend! We do actually live under a Military State of Emergency where the Constitution fell out of use in 1861 and is no longer a legally enforcable document.
Me personally no offense to anyone, I would rather spend time and energy restoring a Constitutional Government to the United States and our economy along with it than worrying about the people in the Middle East and Asia.
It's pointless to take sides in struggles that have been going on for thousands of years that no one ever wins or looses but you always loose and pay to play!
It distracts us, and the United States Military is being strained at the seems to keep functioning in this constant state of low intensity conflict that is only being waged as a low intensity conflict to maximize the monetary profit off of it.
Our men and women deserve a better life than that.
From a pure miliatary doctrine standpoint you could claim we are over there drawing their forces away from here.
Every guy named Juan or Julio can walk across our border though and get a fake Social Security Card for 100.00 so come on, the reality is they aren't really trying to attack us here, and it still has not been satisfactorily proven who attacked us for what purpose on September 11th in a Constitutional fashion and manner.
There is no credible reason why Major Hassan was not drummed out of the military on his service reviews alone 3 or 4 years ago beyond the fact that the military is over extended and over tasked in waging low intensity conflicts for corporate profit.
... a mercenary army ... to protect ... copper mine ...

So then, what you are saying is that, in your world view, "zionists" are just the jewish version of the muslim's "jihadists"? Is that correct?
I also note that, in the sources you quoted in that post, this organization, the Irgun, coalesced in 1931, as a reaction to insufficient protections of the jewish population against "arab marauders".
But somehow they "started" all this terrorism business?

Jihad, as exemplified by the acts of Mohammed (which radiated outward from Makkah and eventually encompassed quite a lot more area than the documents you present suggest the zionists are after, before it was contained) and company bears no responsibility in the mix?

Prototype conveniently forgot to note the 1929 massacre in Jerusalem, where thousands of native Jews had been living for centuries.
Inflaming if not preciptating it, one of a series of Arab attacks on indigenous Jews, was Haj Amin al Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem. Yasser Arafat's uncle and claimed source of inspiration, he spent a good portion of WWII in Berlin acting as a highly paid radio spokesman for Jewish extermination, and advocate of a customized genocide of Jews in Middle East. His plans for Nazi style concentration and death camps were only aborted as resources and manpower dried up in the last days of the European War.

It’s important to understand that the Irgun is viewed by all credible scholars and encyclopedias to be a terrorist organization. The manifesto itself promoted the Zionist goals of dominating all of the Middle East from the Mesopotamian Delta to the Brooks of Egypt these were the ancestral roaming grounds of a race of people that you know as the Hebrew but actual History recorded in Stone refers to as the Habiru and Hapiri.
The plan clearly calls for genocide and exile of the indigenous peoples of the region and enlisting the aide of powerful allies abroad to manipulate towards doing most of the heavy lifting and financing towards that goal and end.
