Daniel Kurtzer on Zionist terrorism

"Both the Irgun and the Lehi focused their attention on British military and governmental targets. Civilians were killed, but they were not generally targeted. The Jewish underground also often called in warnings before attacking targets, although Hoffman chronicles a mixed record in this regard. Palestinian terrorism, on the other hand, has been often indiscriminate and frequently directed specifically at civilians."  Of course, there is a lot that can be said about this false statement but what is striking in its illogic is that it compares and contrasts two Zionist gangs to "Palestinian terrorism"--no specific organizations are mentioned and no names, just Palestinian terrorism.  This is like saying: Zionist terrorism, on the other hand, did not respect the lives of civilians. But if you take it specifically, most Palestinian organizations did in fact avoid hurting civilians wholesale far more than the tactics and methods of Zionist gangs in Palestine (and the Zionists army after the creation of the state later).  But that is another subject and maybe I should write a review of Hoffman's book.
