You can read here about the ETzel
http://www.etzel.org.il/english/
The military nature of the organization manifested itself in two ways. First, was the execution of strict drill exercises, carrying out of ceremonies at different times, and strict attention given to discipline, formal ceremonies and military relationships between the various ranks. Another way the military nature was apparent was the organized training regime. The Irgun trained with handguns and submachine guns, hand grenade throwing, and combined attacks on targets. The Irgun put out professional publications on combat doctrine, weaponry, leadership, drill exercises, etc. Among these publications were the 240 page book "The Gun" by David Raziel and Avraham (Yair) Stern, and the 284 page book "The Compiled and Expanded Guide to Drill Exercises" by David Raziel. Up until the Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 the Haganah also made use of these guidebooks (afterwards the Haganah published its own military literature).

Its true they used terrorism but they were not the first to use it and not the cruelest (look at Kenya's history with the mao-mao)

Answer 3

The simple answer is terrorism. They murdered Lord Moyle in Cairo and the UN representative Count Bernadotte. They were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Christian and Muslim Palestinians. They bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem killing 90 people. They took british hostages and killed them,booby trapping the dead bodies. They invented the letter bomb which killed somebody in England. In the end they forced the UN to suggest the division of Palestine into two states against the wishes of the majority of the population and so the State of Israel was born and the Palestinians became refugees in their own land.
The Irgun have set the standard for all terrorist organisations since.

Answer 4

basically terrorism and violence.

The fact is though the Irgun, the stern gang, and their ilk did not do anything to establish the state of Israel, but were rather a hindrance.

It was negotiation and diplomacy that created the state of Israel, not terror.

Answer 5

Any means necessary, if I recall correctly. Human attainment is not always a tidy intellectual affair. May the Holy One forgive all us our sins and our good intentions.
