I see there are some people here demanding "fact-check"

Here it is.

Full check.

This is a research by Brendan Devenney,

NONE OF THESE FACTS can be disputed or debated.

Excerpts:

"In 1940, Abraham Stern, the founder of the National Military Organization (NMO, a splinter group from Irgun), wrote:

[The NMO, believed that] “a community of interests may be established between the attempt to enact a new order in Europe according to the German concept, and the real national aspirations of the Jewish people, which are represented by the NMO”

[Hence] “a cooperation between New Germany and a renewed, popular-national Hebrewness would be possible”

[Therefore,] “the Israelite liberty movement offered active participation in the war on the German side” [with the aim of] “establishing the historical State of the Jews on national and totalitarian principles”

“if we desire that Eretz Yisrael should become and remain a Jewish State, we must first of all create a Jewish majority”

— JABOTINSKY

He would also praise Hitler’s attitude to “mixed races”:

“The world has become accustomed to the idea of mass migrations and has become fond of them.” He later added, “Hitler— as odious as he is to us—has given this idea a good name in the world.”

— JABOTINSKY, One Palestine Complete, p. 407

«Articles in contemporary Lehi publications talked about the Jewish nation as a heroic people, even a ‘master race’ (in contrast to the Arabs, who were considered a nation of slaves)»

— Jabotinsky and the Revisionist Movement 1925-1948 Yaacov Shavit Routledge; 1 edition 1988) page 231

When this obvious clamor of some of the most influential zionists for fascism is brought up, the usual apologist response is that “mainstream zionism” rejected fascism. This isn’t true.

Nahum Sokolow (Chairman of Zionist Executive, leader of WZO and intermediary for the Balfour Declaration) not only praised Mussolini but announced his firm belief that Fascism was immune from anti-Semitic preconceptions:

“we begin to understand its (fascism’s) true nature … true Jews have never fought against you”.

These words, a Zionist endorsement of the Fascist regime, were echoed in Jewish periodicals all over the world…expressions of loyalty and affection for Fascism poured out of the Jewish centers of Italy.”

— MICHAEL LEDEEN, a “specialist” on Fascism and the Jewish question. And himself a zionist spy.

Then there is Joachim Prinz who is branded an extremist or “naive”:

“We want assimilation to be replaced by a new law: the declaration of belonging to the Jewish nation and Jewish race. A state built upon the principle of the purity of nation and race can only honored and respected by a Jew who declares his belonging to his own kind. Having so declared himself, he will never be capable of faulty loyalty towards a state. The state cannot want other Jews but such as declare themselves as belonging to their nation. It will not want Jewish flatterers and crawlers. It must demand of us faith and loyalty to our own interest. For only he who honors his own breed and his own blood can have an attitude of honor towards the national will of other nations.”

— “We Jews”, Joachim Prinz, 1934

Joachim Prinz held top leadership positions in the World Jewish Congress, as president of the American Jewish Congress from 1958–1966, and as Chairman of the World Conference of Jewish Organizations. Later, he was a director of the Conference of Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

Prinz emigrated to the USA, where he rose to be vice-chairman of the World Jewish Congress and a leading light in the World Zionist Organization, published in 1934 a special book, Wir Juden (We Jews), to celebrate Hitler’s so-called German Revolution and the defeat of liberalism:

“The meaning of the German Revolution for the German nation will eventually be clear to those who have created it and formed its image. Its meaning for us must be set forth here: the fortunes of liberalism are lost. The only form of political life which has helped Jewish assimilation is sunk.”

«The victory of Nazism rules out assimilation and mixed marriages as an option for Jews. ‘We are not unhappy about this,” said Dr Prinz.

— Zionist Jüdische Rundschau editorial (1935) a few days after the Reichstag adopted the so-called “Nuremberg laws” that prohibited marriages and sexual relations between Jews and Germans and, in effect, proclaimed the Jews an alien minority nationality.

The laws stipulated that the only other flag allowed to be flown were the “Jewish colors” (Star of David):

Paragraph 4 in “The Laws for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour”, part of the infamous Nazi Nuremberg Laws of 1935, states that 1. “Jews are forbidden to display the Reich and national flag or the [German] national colours. 2. On the other hand, they are permitted to display the Jewish colours. The exercise of this right is protected by the State.”

«Translation: Nuremberg Race Laws». Holocaust Encyclopedia. United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Retrieved 6 March 2015.

“…Zionism became the only other party legalized in the Reich, the Zionist flag the only other flag permitted to fly in Nazi-land.“

— “Baal is not God’, Congress Bulletin (24 January 1936), p. 2., Rabbi Stephen Wise

-------

Another claim made is that revisionists were a minority. Or “extremists”. Even though Irgun was legitimized in 1948 to help ethnically cleanse and slaughter their way through Palestine. And let’s not forget that two of their leaders would become future Prime Ministers.

One was Yitzhak Shamir, one time leader of the Irgun splinter group, Lehi or “the Stern Gang”.

Who were Lehi? We have to look again at Abraham Stern.

In mid 1940, Abraham Stern’s Lehi movement (a faction of the Irgun) formulated what he called the “Jerusalem Agreement”:

“Zionism would come under the aegis of Italian fascism, with Haifa as its base, and the Old City of Jerusalem under Vatican control, except for the Jewish quarter” in return for Mussolini’s recognition and aid in obtaining Jewish sovereignty over Palestine.”

— Joseph Heller. The Stern Gang: Ideology, Politics, and Terror, 1940–1949 pp. 86, 78-79

The same year, Lehi offered an alliance with Germany:

The organization offered cooperation in the following terms: Lehi would rebel against the British, while Germany would recognize an independent Jewish state in Palestine/Eretz Israel, and all Jews leaving their homes in Europe, by their own will or because of government injunctions, could enter Palestine with no restriction of numbers.

Late in 1940, Lehi representative Naftali Lubenchik went to Beirut (which was still under the fascist French Vichy control) to meet German official Werner Otto von Hentig. The Lehi documents outlined that its rule would be authoritarian and indicated similiarites between the organization and Nazis.

— The Jews: A Contrary People Yehuda Bauer pages 77-78

Stern also proposed recruiting some 40,000 Jews from occupied Europe to invade Palestine with German support to oust the British. On 11 January 1941, Vice Admiral Ralf von der Marwitz, the German Naval attaché in Turkey, filed a report (the «Ankara document») conveying an offer by Lehi to «actively take part in the war on Germany’s side» in return for German support for «the establishment of the historic Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich.»

In 1948 a group of Jewish intellectuals, including Albert Einstein, wrote a letter of protest to The NY Times about Begin’s visit to the US:

“Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.

The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States.

Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughout the world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin’s political record and perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he represents.”

“Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model.”

[Letter to the New York Times from Jewish intellectuals including Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt, and Sidney Hook that appeared on December 4, 1948.]

http://users.physics.harvard.edu/~wilson/NYTimes1948.html

In view of Lehi’s participitation in the slaughter and ethnic cleansing in Palestine in 1948, and just before the first Israeli elections in January 1949, a general amnesty to Lehi members was granted by the government.

— Ami Pedahzur, Arie Perliger Jewish Terrorism in Israel, Columbia University Press, 2011 p.28

And in 1980, the supposed stigma of Lehi was eradicated when the Israeli Ministry of Defense began to award ribbons to members of Lehi between 1940 and 1948 (when they were formed and when they were disbanded).
