I never insinuated at any time here that I support Lehi, believing they were "just".

I've repeatedly stated that as bad as they were, to say they "collaborated" with the Nazis is as stupid as arguing that paying a ransom is collaboration with kidnappers. You didn't even mention the fact that they were trying to save untold thousands of Jews by bringing them to Palestine. You left that out completely in your attempt to defend yet another idiotic Mondoweiss article.

You have nothing but personal attacks.
