Fun fact: Likud (the current ruling party of Israel) was founded by old leaders of Lehi and Irgun, but primarily Lehi.
Lehi not once, but twice, begged Germany for an alliance against the British in Palestine between 1940-1942. Germany said no. Lehi was simply an arm of the larger Zionist Federation of the time that had signed agreements with both Germany (Havaara Agreement) and Britain (Balfour Declaration). They tried to create a form of *plausible deniability*… But let’s be real, there’s a reason why there’s a street named after Avraham Stern (the founder of Lehi), the same place where the Lehi Museum resides, and there’s a reason why the Lehi Ribbon was created in the 80s as a military accolade… Most Israelis LOVE Lehi.
Lehi also openly took part in many atrocities such as the Dier Yassin massacre. They openly referred to themselves as “terrorists”. They even went so far as assassinating a UN mediator. In fact, on the record, they assassinated 42 people, over half of which were Jews – now that’s a head scratcher… Why would they want to ally with Germany while they’re assassinating their own people..?
The British MI5 eventually captured and killed the founder of Lehi in 1942. No worries, new leaders took over. Not long later, they switched to begging Stalin for an alliance because Germany started losing the war.
In 1949, they were officially tried and charged for their crimes; primarily the assassination of Folke Bernadotte, the UN mediator I mentioned previously…. Then they were immediately pardoned and assimilated into Israeli intel, military, and government.
Back to Likud… One of the old leaders of Lehi was the first PM of Israel for Likud after its foundation in the 70s. He held power until the early 90s. Bibi took over directly after that guy.
