IDF fact: Its precursor was Lehi, an ethnonationalist terrorist group responsible for the Deir Yassin massacre which saw 107 Palestinians get murdered. Despite being a Jewish group, they also sought an alliance with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy

They saw Germany & Italy as being not as big threats to Jewish people as Britain. They proposed the creation of a Jewish state built on “nationalist and totalitarian principles” to the Nazis. Terrible group of people who were folded into the Israeli military in 1948.

Another military group that was folded into the IDF was Ingun, which also played a role in Deir Yassin. They also did the King David Hotel Bombing, a terrorist attack that killed 91 people. Some British, some Arab, and some Jewish.

Members of both of these ethnonationalist terrorist organizations went on to become early members of the Israeli military and political scene.
