The last time the English had a mandate to “transition” in Palestine, terrorists blew up their headquarters. Later, when the Israeli authorities caught up with the vicious terrorist, they made him their 6th prime minister. Oh, and after the Nakba, the terrorist group he led, called Irgun, was rolled into the IDF.
None of this is hyperbole. Both the US and UK designated Begin and Irgun as terrorists at the time.
