they stopped them arming them selves right up to May 14 1948 any Jew found with firearms was hanged I don't call that helping and no I am not a Jew.

I am talking about Israelis specifically not Jews as such. Palestine was annexed by the British who had control of it to provide the European Jews with a new start. A bold move considering Palestine took no part in the war. Instead of gratefully accepting a peaceful transition to a harmonious Holy Land welcoming all, David Ben Gurion and the other terrorists decided to kill or drive out all other groups and take control of the territory a policy that Israel continues with to this day.
